Huh??? I dunno if i get this one. You want to drive round with no rocker covers on and let all the oil spray all over the place. Is this correct.

Or are you talking bout the coil pack cover in the middle.

Sorry maybe i read this post wrong.

As redevil said above many other cars have exposed coilpacks, and I have been driving round for a couple of years now without it on and my car also passed roadworthy without it so I would highly doubt it could be doubed as illegal.

I'm driving mine around without the cover on ATM cos noone can see it and I'm too lazy to put it back (have to pull the intake pipe off).

Legal? NFI, ring the RTA, they are the only ones who can give a definite answer.

Seriously, the cops keep trying to defect people on silly things, which makes everyone ask questions like the one asked at the top of this thread.

Why would it be illegal is the question to ask yourself. Have a look at the relevant law concerning vehicle standards. I see no mention in there of a requirement of a coilpack cover.

Why would it be illegal? Cause like you said cops defect people on stupid things. Cause most cops are assholes. Thats why it would be illegal?

The cops do not make the law. The law is made by parliament. The cops enforce the law.

What I was saying is that as far as i'm aware, there is no law on coilpack covers. So If I wanted to remove mine, I would happily do it (but I don't want to).

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
