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.

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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
