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).

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
