Stock Crap that can be removed... - XenonZcar - 12-26-2024
Every day now i see some noob who is staring at his stock engine bay full of Nissan smog glory and wandering what he can remove to make it easier to work on. Im going to make a list of what can be removed and still retain basic functionality of the VG30. Lots of people will not agree with what i put here for what ever reason etc. This is what can be removed/relocated in the z31 engine engine bay to clean things up and make it easier to work on. Note: You will not be smog legal if you follow my advice because lets face it if you have to smog test your 80's car you suck at life anyways.
The list:
- A/C system Idle controls
- cold start valve and all associated lines and piping
- EGR
- AIV system
- Cruise control
- Vacuum canister
- Charcoal canister
- Windshield washer crap that most likely leaks anyways
- All the stupid vacuum hardlines that cross over the front of the motor
- On a NA vg30 you can reduce your vacuum lines down to one that goes to the FPR.
- Power steering-i actually like my PS so its staying
Anything that you remove from your stock car will have a sacrifice in some way or another. DON'T just start ripping shit off your car just because you get excited after seeing this thread. Think it out and decide exactly what you do and dont need/want.
