Hi, All -

This is not a "for sale" post, it is a "I just wanted you all to know that I will be making these soon" post.

At the right time, I will become a vendor here and market them through the approprtiate channels here on the forum.

There is a part in the mold that I can swap out to make the ones "with intake bulge" and the ones with the flat front. It "should" only be another month or two, thanks!

A point of clarification: There will be an insert in the mold which will allow two types of clear cam gear cover to be made: ones with the VCT bulge, and ones with a flat surface instead. That way, I can fit the RB20 as well as the RB25 engine types, thanks!

I'm offering the RB20 and RB25 cover, as well as a Bolt Kit, in case you have lost or damaged your 20-year old bolts from Nissan.

Thanks!

Can you make the rb25 cover without the bulge on the front left. I'm running aftermarket cams so I don't need that clearance bulge :)

Hi, Skud -

I wasn't counting on this question when I designed the mold. After careful consideration, let me say, with apologies, that you are probably much more the exception than the rule, and modifying the mold to be able to have the option to make it flat on the exhaust side isn't a great business model for me.

Hi, Xklaba -

I used to have examples of the stock RB25 and RB26 covers in my shop, and they are different, sadly. The profile of the 26 is curved, where the profile of the 25/26 is more like "faceted". I'm not sure the bolt pattern is different. If I were you, I would find a shop that has the 25 and the 26 covers, stock, and compare them for similarity of bolt pattern before I would try to bolt a 25 cover on the front of a 26 engine.

Actually, if you could find the stamped sheet metal piece that bolts to the front of the RB26 head, and a stock RB25/20 front cover, you could verify the bolt pattern that way. Great question!

That was a suggestion for Joey :)

Personally I have no deers eyes about RB25s, I have the greddy clear cover on my 32 and know Nitto make one also for the RB26 and just thought he might look into that cause I know people have put the 26 covers on 25s but I don't know what's involved in doing so :/

  • Like 1

We offer no "warranties, implied or expressed" for fitting our RB25/20 cover to other engines. They "may" fit the RB26, though I would like one of my current customers to try this for me, please, and send some pictures to me. :closedeyes:

I've looked into it, the rb26 covers won't fit :(

Gents -

The RB26 cover is a great distance off in the future, if at all. Making molds for clear cam gear covers is a long, arduous journey, as well as very expensive. I am far from paying off the RB20/25 mold at this point. Also, with someone else currently having a mold for the RB26, the prospects for Zaklee making one are dim.

The Zaklee product line can be browsed easily, just go here: www.ZakleeCorp.com.

Thanks, Mates!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
