hey guys, my car is going back to sam next week for the last bits and pieces to be done on the engine, of which includes an exhaust cam gear. while doing it I was thinking he could maybe replace my stock cam gear cover with one of those clear cam gear covers off just jap, but I got a few ques...

1. will it fit an rb25? - if not can you get some? where?

2. is the quality decent?

3. are they legal? or can they melt and your engine goes boom, catches on fire, kills you while you drive into an orphange?

soz... but cops defected my old oil based pod once because they said it could "catch on fire" :thumbsup:

any experiences with them would be great too!

Thanks,

Adam

My understanding is you need a RB26 backing plate for em. Standard is plastic but just black so no change there only rice factor baby so go for it :blink:

Oil based pods change emissions in some small way & thats why that cop incident happened, get a 3A dry type and you will be sweet. see DR DRIFT

Plus the oil coates things like AF meter and thats not good as well as forming deposits in intake pipes and coating turbine blades. :)

The RB26 clear cam gear cover WILL NOT fit the RB25 because the RB25 has the variable timing buldge in the front of the inlet cam. However, there are clear covers available for the RB25, you'll find it if you look hard enough - hint, look at some overseas site, perhaps Ebay in the USA or Yahoo in Japan.

I dont think there would be any problems with installing the clear timing cover in terms of the law. Also, in regards to your pod cover, all you needed to keep it legal is to install some form of a shield or a 'box' with a duct feeding fresh air into it.

Hope that helps.

G'day Adam,

PSI Parts sell clear cam cover for RB25 - http://www.psiparts.com.au/front.asp?pid=28 - was thinking of doing it myself.

Not sure about the quality, you could ask them to test fit for you?

Cheers

The Clear RB26 covers that Just Jap sells are a Genuine Trust Product.

They also sell Clear Covers for RB25 made by PSI, however they are hardly comparable to the Trust RB26 type, and are only made from very thin plastic.

Your right, they aren't comparable as one is made using plastic injection moulding, the other vacuum moulding. As for the thickness, well I don't want to get into the design specifics as that in itself took several months. Suffice to say we have sold about 150 of these both here and overseas. :P

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
