$600 is way too much

Get them and take them into a local panel shop, be realy nice to the guys in there and just say to one of the guys working that you will give him personally (not the shop, but the worker) $300 if he paints your covers in JWO after hours and there's no rush on the job

I agree, $600 is way too much and N1GTR has the right idea about approaching a painter in your local panel shop. For $600 you're probably still getting used covers that are just repainted. In korea I can get my RB26 covers painted at a panel shop for ~$250 USD so I'm sure you can get it for about the same in Aus. It's expensive in japan to buy newly painted covers.

Prices for Nissan OEM Painted brand new covers from Japan...

Black

Rocker cover EX side $219 USD

Rocker cover IN side $219 USD

Rocker Ornament cover $263 USD

Front cam pulley cover $315 USD

Red

Rocker cover EX side $210 USD

Rocker cover IN side $210 USD

Rocker ornament cover $242 USD

Front cam pulley cover $125 USD

Gold

Rocker cover EX side $305 USD

Rocker cover IN side $305 USD

Rocker ornament cover ???

Front cam pulley cover $181 USD

I would expect JWO to be more expensive... just to give you an idea.

Go and see Mick at Micolour, He has done plenty.

And well priced too.

I THINK its around $110ish a piece to paint maybe a touch more, you would have to check with mick.

And he is able to remove them off the car and reinstall if required,

although taking in just the pieces is easyer

not much choice really if mil jade is required.

just when i think of it , its normally about $800 for a 4 piece body kit to get painted .. engine covers are so so so much smaller lol

    • bumping this post as im still having dramas, my fuel pick up is sitting on the bottom of the tank, my pump gets a constant 13 volts through a relay, my fuel pressure holds consistently without fluttering or dropping, yet as soon as im near half a tank of fuel my car starts fuel starving and leaning out, it cant be due to g force as it never pulls hard enough before it starts breaking up, any help would be much appreciated 
    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
