Guest RedLineGTR Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 The Cover that, covers the coil pack is it called the "rocker cover?" if not what is it called. If i remove it will anything happen or will the coils be under any stress, will the heat effect them (which i assume would be hotter if the cover is on) will there be any danage to them. Also Does anyone have i new cover for a series 1 in melbourne in mint condition, mine has abit of damage nothin serious but would either remove it or replace it with one in excelent condition. Thanks Rob Didnt know if to post it in the Wanted section also if anything. Please move it as needed.

dAVE Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 wont do any damage having it off... most highly tuned cars dont have the cover on. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/19543-rocker-cover/#findComment-410488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismoman18 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 that cover is not the rocker cover, its just a plastic cover to hide the coil packs, like dave said it wont do damage having it off, but it looks good on i reckon, u do get more heat with it on!

hako Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 nissan refer to this cover as the engine "ornament" in short, its only there for looks and some people swear that it makes an improvement if removed (like u said, through cooling) i reckon they look better on Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/19543-rocker-cover/#findComment-410688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbenny Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 You can buy the replacement badges for these covers from HKS, Trust, Nismo etc, but they are like $200!!! not cheap. best thing to do is pull of the ornament, rocker covers and get them powder coated! looks damn sexy, i had an R32 GTR covers done in a candy apple pearl colour, looks fantastic. ill get some pics sometime.

JimX Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Has anyone thought of cutting a couple of small holes in the cover and installing a small fan to help with cooling the coil packs? It's just the overclocker in me. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/19543-rocker-cover/#findComment-411549 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbenny Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 as to the alloy ornament, RB20 silver tops, GTRs are alloy and 33's are plastic - which suck if you wanna polish the covers and BTW you can fit any rocker covers on the RB20 and 25 so if you want it to look really sexy just buy some GTR rockers, they look hot. but i guess it would suck having an engine that looks like an RB26 and performs like an RB20 haha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/19543-rocker-cover/#findComment-413355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

predator Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 same... here's a pic.. mine looks sex.. but sorry about the low quality photo.. With that plastic bit.. if its trashed.. my suggestion is Areldite it up.. or if its really bad get some plastibond or fibreglass filler.. sand it back.. and then spray it some nice colour.
