you guys really argue over stupid shit, who cares i think everyone knows what the topic starter ment when he said clear cam covers

because i get stupid shit all day, like commodore owners calling castor rods Z bars and subframes K Frames....

and rocker covers rocket covers and boss kits bosch kits

friggin ass hats....anyhoo

pot this is kettle, topic over

Nissan Japan actually use the term 'rocker cover' aswell, it wasn't a bad translation. But having said that, Nissan also use 'cam cover' and at one stage have even been guilty of using - can you believe it - 'TAPPET COVER' to describe those long metal bits that go over the cams... when was the last time you heard that? I'm not sure I can even remember what tappets are lol :)

What the number for Nissan Japan then?

EDIT: becides, thats an english translation, who said Nissan Japan meant them to be called rocker covers?

In the Nissan FAST parts program they are called 'Rocker Covers' as well, and that is in the Japanese and English text.

:)

For those who don't read Japanese this says 'Cylinder head and rocker cover'.

Sorry! Couldn't resist. :)

lol

I should change topic to

"rocker cover" "cam cover" or "tappet coveR"

I think I'm going for the custom made one, the RB26 etching in the original part is too riced ><.

Yeah i know.

i spoke to the guy in charge just a couple of days ago. He says he cant find them and has a feeling the ex-employees may have took them when they left. The only thing he says he can do for me is look through the books to see who made them, and see if he can get more made. But there may be a minimum order..... So how about a group buy guys??????? That is if he can find who made them!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
