The Cover that, covers the coil pack is it called the "rocker cover?" if not what is it called. If i remove it will anything happen or will the coils be under any stress, will the heat effect them (which i assume would be hotter if the cover is on) will there be any danage to them. Also Does anyone have i new cover for a series 1 in melbourne in mint condition, mine has abit of damage nothin serious but would either remove it or replace it with one in excelent condition.

Thanks Rob

Didnt know if to post it in the Wanted section also if anything. Please move it as needed.

Cool, thanks for the good info. Anyone have one for sale. PM Me..Can you maybe get aftermarket ones from jap, like with a greddy logo or something seen em rb25 and rb20 block covers but none for the rb25.

nissan refer to this cover as the engine "ornament"

in short, its only there for looks and some people swear that it makes an improvement if removed (like u said, through cooling)

i reckon they look better on ;)

You can buy the replacement badges for these covers from HKS, Trust, Nismo etc, but they are like $200!!! not cheap. best thing to do is pull of the ornament, rocker covers and get them powder coated! looks damn sexy, i had an R32 GTR covers done in a candy apple pearl colour, looks fantastic. ill get some pics sometime.

Has anyone thought of cutting a couple of small holes in the cover and installing a small fan to help with cooling the coil packs?

It's just the overclocker in me.

Maybe make my own...clean some clear thick plastci get the holes driller...get some sitckers made up for it or something..Fro a show car it would be a good idea to get clear plastic covers and get like a blue neon or somthing..(rice but nice) for a showcar that is

as to the alloy ornament, RB20 silver tops, GTRs are alloy and 33's are plastic - which suck if you wanna polish the covers

and BTW you can fit any rocker covers on the RB20 and 25 :D so if you want it to look really sexy just buy some GTR rockers, they look hot. but i guess it would suck having an engine that looks like an RB26 and performs like an RB20 haha

same... here's a pic.. mine looks sex.. but sorry about the low quality photo..

With that plastic bit.. if its trashed.. my suggestion is Areldite it up.. or if its really bad get some plastibond or fibreglass filler.. sand it back.. and then spray it some nice colour.

      Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
