    Skyline first timerthats like sayin a flask wont keep the water warm look at the underneath of the cover the next time you ll see a plastic seal around it to stop the water gettin in so there ment to be air tight ish ye i looks fairly bare and plain with out it but you ll start goin true coil packs like sunday dinner just advise what happens

    The subframe bushes were hanging out of the car, as were the wishbone bushes, the pick and mix of coilovers knocked like a song by guns and roses,The respray was the roughest I'd seen since Stevie Wonder Autobody closed down and the front panels had gaps as straight as turn 2 at mondello, Yeah,Straight car I'd say!

    oh we have a comedian, not going into it with another one. yeah think what you will, but its not my first..... oh maybe i got rid of my last one due to failed coilpacks due to them overheating. i dont think so.

    mines looks awful without it. maybe if i painted the set of rocker covers i bought last weekend will look better.

    engine looks old or somethin cuz the valve covers have no paint on em.

    spare set gettin painted midnight purple ftw.

    for a start it could have been a loose wire shorting out, its not as though things melt for no reason, like why would one melt and the rest be fine??

    these things were designed in japan and driven there for 15 odd years with no problems. they come here, which is a colder climate and all of a sudden the cover is keeping to much heat in.... yeah i see where your all coming from. only part of the coilpack system ive seen fail was on an SR20 and it was the amplifier that failed as it was hanging low behind the block and taking in alot more heat than it was designed for.

    thier like everything you look after it then it'll always work.

    it was all the coil packs that melted not one and the wireing was fine other than years of being in an oven it had gone very hard and brittle, fair enough on all the desinged in japan stuff but if it not a common problem why is this company along with lots of others makeing these???????? this is for an sr20 now i cant read japanise and i had the link from when i was looking for one for my 13

    what do they call it???? is that "heat sink cover"??
