no no youve missed the point. they are not called rocket covers at all it is either rocker or cam covers. SR20s have rocker covers and rb motors have cam covers. theres realy nothing to it any one can do it.

FFS. I would like to know if you can change them around. will 26 ones fit a 25 head ?

youve had your fun - now someone answer the question

Also 26 ones have a better baffling system so if you can get them for free or cheap it would be worth your while.

in the spirit of moving forward I'm doing us all a favour and editing the thread title like the good spelling nazi I am.

When I read it I thought it may be a question about different types of disruptive pattern camouflage available for covering up your RPGs and anti tank missile launchers.

FTR there are no "rockets" in your engine, and hence no such thing as a rocket cover. There are also no rocker arms in an RB26 as they use bucket and shim valve actuation. other RBs have hydraulic lifters, but still no rocker arms.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
