Rocker Cover??


Recommended Posts

Guest RedLineGTR

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.

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.

that cover is not the rocker cover, its just a plastic cover to hide the coil packs, like dave said it wont do damage having it off, but it looks good on i reckon, u do get more heat with it on!

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
