Anybody keen on these carbon fibre cam covers for the RB25DET engine ? Its got the hump for the VCT inlet cam to specifically suit the RB25DET.

$350 each, brand new. If interested, email me at [email protected] and I'll get the ball rolling.

Cheers.

any chance of getting rocer covers as well

if so i would be interested in them and the front cover ( i already have a coil pack cover )

cheers

There is no carbon rocker covers available for the RB engine, however, there is something I can suggest. How about applying genuine carbon fabrics over the top of your factory aluminium covers ? What you do is, strip the covers back to bare aluminium, then apply epoxy resins over the top, lay the carbon fabrics and seal it with more epoxy. If its done correctly, you will end up with carbon fibre rocker covers ! This technique is called 'wet carbon' and is commonly used on showcars (doors, roofs etc) where it is way too expensive to use traditional 'dry carbon'. You could either use epoxy resins or even 2pak clear as a top coat to seal it, you might need to do a bit of fine grade wet/dry rubbing in between coats to get that glossy appearance, but it will be all worth it.

If you need some carbon fibre fabrics, I can help there too, even tho its about $100 for 1m x 1m.

ey man, sorry to be a party pooper but i gotta look out for fellow SAU users,

you can buy these on Ebay new even a one of purchase for $200.

the valley cover is $250.

Yep, if you want to buy chinese-made items that warp after a couple of laps on the track than go ahead. The mould I make mine with was originally taken from the ones you see on Ebay, but I pop mine out with 3 layers of carbon fabrics (which isnt cheap), not just one layer with fibreglass underneath. The ones I have contain absolutely no fibreglass at all that can deform under high tempertures.

If you wanna waste your money on chinese made crap - feel free, but I was disappointed with the quality of the one I purchased from them, that's why I ended up making my own mould.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
