[nizmo zilvia]

The valve colour is Candy Apple Red if you were to ask me. Im not sure but thats what I think of when I see it. As far as the center you can just order one from nismoparts.com for $36.63 and $10 shipping charge.

R34 Cam covers FTW

I think I have the paint code some where.

But Hans just painted his, i believe he has it in his thread.

I powercoated my valvecovers candy apple red with a chrome base coat. they turned out pretty close to that color.

Carl, yes and general use too lol....I'm an avid road racer prior to drift, but I will use it for both! Keen eye to detail from that single photo!

I love that car

3/8 NPT tap works perfectly without having to drill at all! Pull out the existing fitting with a vice-grip or something, easy to do!!

[nizmo zilvia]

Thanks alot!! Kudos to you! And nice piece of engine you got there. Looks promising.

That is total win! I like that intake manifold.

[iLL_G35]

can we use just regular paint on the valve covers to get that candy apple red look? doesnt it have to be special heat resistant paint?

I deff suggest high heat just to be safe.

Most paint places can mix rattle can paint in almost any color in both regular and high-heat paints. But for the extra few bucks just go with powdering. Safe, inexpensive, never gonna fail.

here's my new color bay now.

26 is coming soon.

[nizmo zilvia]

^ Pretty yellow.

Here's an update:

Here's Mine

Here's an update:

Black just really sets things off on a RB in a 240....What did you paint the block with? Just Black engine enamel? Looks clean though...Was thinking of going that route but with Crimson Valve covers...

[nizmo zilvia]

I used a 1500 - 2000 degrees primer than a 500 gloss black spray paint can. I like the outcome. Pics don't due justice and plus the motor isn't done. Just wait until it is.

[lazyboi444]

They have primer at that high of a temperature...wowWell yours looks better than mine..lol..Mine sits on a tire with that faded look like it belongs on the set of Sanford and son...

[nizmo zilvia]

Yea they do amazingly lol. We'll see how it holds up though lol. If you must know I used a DH 1614 Gray Primer and a DE 1613 Gloss Black as my finish.

Pretty impressive stuff though its still drying. Been 24 hrs since now. I ran my finger through and it was somewhat rubbing off but enough to notice.

when i first saw this i said " What the phuck!!!!" at the intercooler piping and laughed. Then i realized it was in an S10.

That loopty loop intercooler piping is freakin awesomely funny.

[kevwa]

haha how is the intercooler piping funny - it made perfect sense to me to run it that way - i mean it was like it was designed to go there other than the whole Nissan in a Chevy thing...

[Kansei240sx]

I just thought it was funny because me and some friends at the shop joke about making huge loopty loops with FMIC piping and oil lines and radiator hoses and it reminded me of that.

[Neejay]

Sweet^^^^ Sounds healthy.

No air filter and stock radiator? Did you replace any oem parts on it at all?
