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!

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 :/

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!

    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
    • Well, of course there's something wrong with the suspension. It was like that when it came out of the factory. Nissan wanted it to ride at least 50mm higher than most of us. They wanted it to be comfortable enough that the press and user reviews didn't complain about fillings being knocked out of teeth. The marketing people wanted to be able to talk about their fantastic new 4WS system (even if it was a pointless exercise, ha! pointless! Do you see what I did there? no? oh well. too bad). There weren't any semi-slicks or semi-semi-slicks or 18" wheels. Laser pointers didn't exist, so you couldn't easily build a bump steer gauge. There wasn't any better technology for suspension bushes than squishy shit in a condom. The list goes on.
    • I personally recommend not messing with factory suspension until you can clearly identify something wrong. For example I think the R33 might need some way to adjust front camber because I feathered the edges of the tires much more than the center of the tread doing some figure 8s and slalom.
