Item: RB26 Engine covers set. Just resprayed in house of kolor candy apple red

Age: 2months

Condition: Immaculate

Price: $650 or trade for unpainted rb26 covers+ $250 my way

To Fit: Any RB26 engine

Location: Newcastle

Contact: 0403286407

Comments: I'm absolutely spewing I have to sell these but I made a big mistake in getting them painted (cost me $550) before I got my -12 speedflow fittings fitted. If I try and weld the new oild fittings on it will spoil the beautiful paint that has just been layed on them and it's not worth it!!!!

So I'm after a standard set so I can start again.

The covers cost me $450 originaly to buy off this site, then $550 to be painted so I'm losing out on $350.

It's the top 3 pieces (rocker covers and spark plug cover (centre piece), I do also have the front cam cover but it is still in original black as I'm using a clear GReedy item.

I'll get some pics up but pictures really don't do this paint justice, anyone who has seen house of kolor candy apple in the sun would have to agree with me that it is the best paint out.

Would prefer phone call or sms but I will check pm's once a week.

Cheers

Brad

Sorry these are the only 2 pics I have at the moment

Hey,

why not get some mild steel 'weld ons' welded onto the breather attachments. This i what i did, then i got them chromed in Hamilton. I think i used -14 round base weld ons. They'd also look good painted. Save a few hundred; just a thought.

PS: Nice paint

Shaun.

That does look awesome Shaun, I already have the -12 speedflow angle fittings though so I'm gonna remove the original breather attatchments all together and get some weld ons done. Then chrome the new covers, were yours chromed or polished?

Why do you need to weld them on? Find the right size AN fitting, M18 -12 or whatever, remove the stockers, drill and tap the correct thread. Screw in. Easy.

f**k, thats an awesome idea! Wish i thought of that.

To answer your question, my covers are polished (took about 100 hours). I just dont like the idea of the weld on fittings, as they stick up too far with the 90 degree fittings. But its not my car is it; good luck.

    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
    • Can't see that being a thing.
