I'm in the middle of a spark plug, and rocker cover gasket replacement. I noticed after taking out the coil cover, that the rubber lining on the edge was very hard. Parts of it have already broken off. Can I get a replacement seal for this? It was quite clean under the cover, and there wasn't much dirt or dust in there, so even despite the rubber being hard and brittle it was still keep stuff out. But now it's cracked into pieces of which I am missing that section.

The seal on the coil pack cover from my old 33 got very dry and deteriorated over time as well. Was probably there to keep out moisture.

I ended up ripping the remainder of ithe seal off as it was peeling off very easily, and falling in around the coils whenever i removed the cover. vaccumed all that shit out, didnt need any of that falling in the chambers when changing plugs!

Having the coil pack cover without the seal is still better than not having a cover at all though. Will definitely keep out more dust and crap landing around your coils and plugs

I managed to find all the little missing bits that fell of my cover. So in the absence of being able to find a direct replacement (havn't called Nissan yet), I might try and glue it back on. Then some black silicone underneath should do the trick. My coil cover was doing it's job despite the rubber being dried out and cracking as there wasn't much dust & dirt around the packs and plugs.

Called Nissan today about this seal and was quoted $175! Uhh ok. They don't sell the seal separetly so you have to buy the whole coil cover itself which explains the high price. Looking like silcone is going to be the best bet I guess. Will checkout Clark Rubber. Maybe they got something that would be close enough.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
