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 :D

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

Fair enough. My mechanic's shop is next to to a engineering shop and we used one of the off cuts :).

Some black pieces are powder coated, others are painted. Basically anything that had parts that could melt were painted; this includes the cam cover, CAS, inlet cam gear, etc. Parts like the strut brace brackets, power steering reservoir, fuel rail, oil cooler mounts, and all other brackets, etc were powder coated.

All the charcoal colour items are powder coated as well as the red cam covers.

I painted all the cam gears etc, but the clear cam cover, purchased from PSI Parts, didn't fit and fouled on the inlet VCT bolts. He tried to claim my cam cover backing plate sat 3mm further back than normal; funny how the standard cover has no issues with fitment and clearances. >_<

I did not claim that at all, I even personally fitted your cover on a standard RB25 which had no fitment issues. Disagreeance aside, we have just finished another batch that have had a few minor modifications (one of which was to make the VCT bulge slightly larger to allow for NEO engines).

Mine fitted perfect on the rb25det >_<

Dale PM sent, prefer to discuss in private, but i stand by what i wrote.

MintR33: Pretty much. I know we had to gently bend one of the tubes, coming out of the reservoir, but that was more to do with clearing the turbo. The lines did reach without modification, but obviously do not sit in the natural position, but this was fine as the lines are still not kinked.

I took a quick photo tonight of my engine bay, I had the plenum, crossover pipe and rocker covers polishes, then I chromed the injector caps and rail as well as the timing belt cover. Add a few silicone hoses and its starting to look better.

Only problem with this process is the more you do, the more you see can also be done. I’ll start on the left hand side of the engine next.

Hi 4door sleeper,

Could you tell me if the Greddy Washer bottle uses both front and rear washer motors? and does it bolt in as per the standard unit?

Yes the bottle has spots for 2 motors (had to use my old ones as it didnt come with new ones)

It mounts (slides down) onto a bracket they provide, not sure if they used exosting bolt holes or had to drill them.

Since I couldnt edit my earlier post, here is another picture of my engine bay from the other side

Excellent, if what you're saying is that it's a bolt in replacement thats what I need for my GReddy plenum

I guess it depends on your piping setup. As the 'GTR' style piping allows the washer bottle to stay in it's current location. Other people have relocated the washer bottle to underneath the guard. The other option might be a catch tank and washer bottle setup in one, similar to that of the RIPS version in NZ.

I have since spoken to Dale from PSI Parts and he has kindly agreed to exchange my cam cover, once i have the time to send the original one back to him.

I have since removed my frustrated post as i now realise PSI Parts are an honest business.

Dale i know it has been a while since we last spoke, but i haven't as yet had the time to post the cover, sorry it took me so long to find where i had posted my comments.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
