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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
