Some are from R31 Skylines and others are from VL's. Same motor.

Nissan ones are off the Nissans.. R31 skylines, the rest are off holdens Too quick for me

Just paint the whole lot like I did.Eng Bay.jpg (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=14113&d=1152601255)

thought so, was just double checkin YEP_boost - that looks mint for a stock bay

It's not hard to do man. The plenum was a pain in the butt as it was all hand smoothed but I guess it depends how much detail you want? Why stop at the rocker cover?

YEP_boost spotted your vl at easternats last year i think it was at the show and shine. the detail on your car is amazing! i think your mate said 10 coats of clear on it or something.... immac car man!

Done very well YEp_BOOST!

Whats the g.o with the rocker cover gasket? should you replace it after you take the cover off? Im ****ting myself cos i have and car seems to be running crap, due to the lack of a touque rench

Mate you dont need a torque wrench to refit the rocker cover! Make sure the gasket is in good condition if it is then just re-use it and make sure its seated properly when you place the rocker cover back on...should not cause issues with running funny?...

Yeah, i guess its **** then cos it seems to be leaking grainie brown/black stuff around the gasket area thus stuffing up the spark plugs

heres a couple of pics of mine i did today with a kind of 80's retro feel to it. pics were taken pretty much after the clear "flashed" approx 20mins. i still need to rub it back again to flatten out the bumps left by the checkers. not bad for a backyarder i think lol. the colour is the same as my car "candy furion red" and "silver sparkle"

good stuff man, i just did a mates red and am thinking of doin mine now too.. what did you use??

it was called duplicolour metalcast. they have red blue and purple. you can get it from supercheap.

did mine, stole someones idea of stripes, and i also left holden logo.. painted few other things aswell looks nb, sorry for **** photo lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

owsum job bud im gunna give it ago wen i get my car back from the panel shop thankz heaps .....

some mad results in here! im stuck for ideas though. im painting my car a dark metallic violet (see pic) and and thinking of ideas to paint rocker cover. i was thinking of doing it the same color as the car with stripes like above...but wouldnt mind something a bit more fancy lol any suggestions? i dunno if these are good pics of the paint, i cant view photobucket at work, so just took some random pics from my car thread lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

has anyone had any problems with the supercheap paint duplicolour metalcast? does it bond well when sprayed straight on or was the silver under coat a better idea? does the colour and shine last? has there been any reactions to engine temp like bubbling or peeling? Just liking the look of how they turned out and would like to try this paint

I just sprayed my one today with VHT metal tint. It gives it an anodized. The paint is supposed to be able to be able to handle temps up to 175c.

that VHT paint is great it covers well and seems to last. even on my extractors makes them look brand new!

finally got round to doing mine on the weekend even polishing the heat shiled to mirror look .....great thread my rocket cover is now like new ! polished the cross ova pipe to looks tuff http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...motorturbo.jpg (http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z56/ohsocute69/motorturbo.jpg)
