This is the Fifth group buy for RB20, RB25, CA18 and SR20 coil pack covers. These covers are custom made and produced by AM Performance.

THE SHORT

The Covers – perfectly replaces your standard coilpack cover, with your choice of several CNC cut design’s (pre-designed from our database of brands, logo’s patturns etc (check previous group buys for existing designs) or you make your own design) with either a professional polished/mirror finish or professional powder coated finish (with additional oil and heat resistant paint added so it won’t be peeling off any time soon - with a variety of colours available).

Running time: Monday 19.01.09 till Monday 09.02.09

Expected delivery date: approx 25.02.09

Total Cost: $145 ($130 for the cover, $15 for Australia wide postage)

$5 from each cover sold will be donated to SAU from AM Performance

If you’re interested in buying and still want more info then please read all the information below as I’m sure most of your questions will be answered here! :D

THE LONG

Cover Designs

AM performance already has a vast database full of designs ready to be cut (such as name automotive brands, performance brands etc), or you can create your own personal design which can be anything you want! (within reason, keep in mind that there are obvious limitations with this sort of work)

If you choose to have your own custom design then please contact me with what you want done with either a detailed description, a rough picture from Microsoft paint for example, attached brand names that you want traced etc – it doesn’t have to be a work of art, just as long as you can get the general idea across then it would be perfect. I will send your request away to AM Performance so they can draw your final design up on the computer, once that is complete I will send the final result back to your for confirmation so the work can begin directly after the group buy period is over.

If you're after an existing design that AM Performance has previously made then please point out the picture and that will be sorted!

Polished/Mirror Finish: The picture’s below are product examples that were made for members of this forum from the previous group buy’s. As you can see the finish is a very high quality and a perfect match for any other polished/chrome parts you may already have on your car/in your engine bay.

Group-Buy Guidelines

- Group Buy starts Monday 19th Jan, 2009 and will run until Monday 9th February , 2009 - 7:00pm )

- Full payment is required before or on the finishing date – otherwise you will be left out. So if you place an order but chose to pay at a later date then please try not to forget!

- if you have chosen to do your own personal design then the drawings must be confirmed by you before the work starts – to make sure you know what you’re getting.

- if you expressed interest but did not pay, ill send you a PM roughly 3 days before the group-buy ends reminding you to make the deposit for the cover, but if you do not pay by the 9th of march then you will unfortunately be left out from the buy.. There will be no extended payment periods.

- custom designs are obviously very much welcome, but think carefully about what you want as constant re-designs will not be allowed as the CAD drawing process is very time consuming. So once again, think about what you want before enquiring :)

- Special Note: - because of the nature of this work it is predicted that the manufacturing time will be roughly 2-3 weeks. That means it’s likely to be 2-3 weeks from the end date of the group buy to the cover arriving at you’re door. But it must be mentioned that in the previous group buy’s there have been some delays due to such things as material problems, late confirmations, late payments etc, so please don’t be worried if the products are running late, they are guaranteed to arrive but it may require your patience. I will keep this topic constantly updated.

Ordering

Either PM or email me at [email protected] to place your order, if you have a custom order then please show/tell me what you want(as previously mentioned) and ill sort it out, but there is some information I will need from all the buyers, if you could copy & paste the below template (delete the italic font and complete with your order) and send me you’re information to keep things easy and fluent as possible so that i can pass all the orders and information on to Andrew at AM Performance in a easy format.

When ordering please also specify if you want any grill’s in the cover, design position, size etc. also please use some of the product examples as a reference for size, design, layout etc etc.

Hey Bryce,

Cheers for the pm i'll be doing my own design in a mirror finish for a RB20DET Redtop in the next few days.

Are redtop and silvertop coilpack covers the same?

Dave

cruzin33 - no worries mate. as far as i know the red and silver top have the same bolt up pattern, but i always specify what the engine exactly is on the final order so no need to stress :wave:

Muz - flip thanks for pointing that out mate, i thought i fixed it before i posted up the topic! haha

send me a PM and ill sort it out :)

Hi mate. Thnx for the pm, and happy new year :wave:

Can i get this one in a polished/mirror style ? http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/3567/tndsc01359ib2.jpg

Can you ship it to Norway ? Possible to pay with paypal ?

Cheers

yeah mate no worries at all, shipping to norway isnt an issue but will cost slightly more (for example to ship to america its $32AUD instead of the $15AUD, so i assume it would be around the same amount), and yes very possible to pay with paypal :) if you would like to make an order then shoot me a PM with your info and description :wave:

Cheers for the pm Bryce, much appreciated. I'll definately be in for this one, I'll get started on the design I'm after & I'll pm or maybe email it through to you later on this week :D

no worries mate ill send it away and PM you with the results :cheers:

Hey mate, I'd be interested in one for my CA18DET, in polished aluminium.

Here's a picture of my design, I'm happy for them to use their own Nismo symbol but incorporate my TRX symbol with it.

Just the words, no stripes on the sides or anything.

I also have Autocad drawings / DXFs if it would make it easier.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
