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 )

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.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
