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!

See them here: www.ZakleeCorp.com

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 :/

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!

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
