hey Ryan, theres a DIY about painting 25 covers here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/354645-diy-spraying-cam-covers/

ClutchBurndout-:( explains a fair bit about removing and refitting.

20 is extremely similar

seeing as you're taking the covers off, might be worth giving them a cleanup or even coat of nice paint / powdercoat / whatever as well

If you going to the trouble of doing the gaskets you might as well paint you covers to, not unless yours are still nice a clean.

Some of the screws on the drivers side are a bit of a pain to get to, if you have a magnetic screw driver you should be fine though.

Biggest issue i had was trying to get the driver side one on without scratching my new paint of, besides that its pretty easy, just take your time and dont drop any screws in the head.

Dont forget to mark your timing on the cam sensor to, i had to re check mine with a timing light as i painted my cam cover.

you dont have to take your cam cover off to do gaskets though.

Edit ..i just read clutchs thread and all it says is undo screws and take covers off except he said it in 100 words what i said in 10.. Plus the bolt under the TB is piss easy if you take the TB off first.

Anywaygo figure it out yourself its not that hard, f**k even cluth figured it out on his own. if i wanted respect points ill go play NFS :)

Good luck

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
