Mate, is ur engine illuminous? That looks sooooo cool!

Just a cover i made myself using cold cathodes and some lexan material. Added some 3D ( bubble graphics ) on top. Just wanted something different from the usual centre plaques for the GTR...Ibelieve a few others have now copied my design but im not bothered as i was the first..lol.... :domokun:

ever thought of making them and selling them??? might know someone who would be interested in one... lol wink wink!

Thanks Chris!

No probs in coping it either. In fact i'll give you some info on how it's constructed.

The shield is actually two halves. The front half (covering the turbine) is cut from a 6" aluminum tube, and is held on the turbo by a bracket that bolts onto the exhaust flange bolts. This cover also has two threaded tabs that allow the rear half (covering the dump pipe) to bolt on to. The rear half is made from sheet aluminum that has been shaped and cut to curve around the dump pipe.

Hi everybody! if you have done any detailing on your RB25 engine bay, could you please post up some pics? ive searched and found an abundance of RB26 engine bays but not many 25s. i need some ideas and inspirations!

im also thinking about pulling out the windscreen washer bottle. anyone done this before?

also whats the process with removing the device off the timing belt cover? what do you actually have to mark?

cheers

Mine now sits behind the front bar (inside the guard) with a tube coming through, into the engine bay: Refer to intake side pics, above.

I think the bottle is off a Honda Prelude or Accord.

Thanks Chris!

i'd probably manually form the 6" pipe part - as its probably difficult/expensive to buy (especially that small quantity) - Cheers for the info though :)

Did you powdercoat or paint the black pieces - fuel rail, cas bracket, inlet cam gear, strut brace mounts?

    • 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.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
