Well whatever you do, use a high temperature paint. As im sure it'll get hot, better yet, just have a professional do it, so you dont have to worry about it (the paint) crapping out over time.

I've been lurking for awhile but many people may know me as I've worked on a few Z's from the forum. My names Patrick btw.

High temp paint isn't needed. Powder coating would probably be tougher (I've got lots of rock chips in mine) You've just got to make sure the fins don't get coated too thick.

I have many reason's for moving stuff.
1) Moving the battery is a nice mod, and it opens up a lot of space in the engine bay that is otherwise occupied.

2) I hate the location of the fuse box's. Like why nissan? You have to take the battery out to access most of them.

3) I really like clean engine bays. Not the overdone, "shaved everything and bondo'd" looking all fake. Just clean.

4) Other crap I'm moving for more space and avoiding heat soak and other factors. I'll leave some of the detail's out for pictures to fill you in.
