Is There Any Alternative To A Nissan Engine Overhaul Gasket Kit?

[Shaun]

GDay,

Just rang Hornsby Nissan for a price on an RB26 engine overhaul gasket kit. $570! I was just wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives such as non genuine aftermarket kits etc. Im trying to save some money.

Thanks,

Shaun.

I'm assuming it's for a BNR32? If so, buy a BCNR33 gasket kit and an oil stariner o ring for a BNR32. Will be about $300 all up.

ACL make an aftermarket VRS kit including a 1.3mm tri layer metal head gasket. Not sure on retail price.

Isn't the Tomei one just head exhaust and inlet gaskets?

Yeah, i was quoted for an R32 Rb26. You're a ledgend Mik!!

I've actually bought an R33 GTR kit before and i couldnt remember paying anywhere near $570. I wonder why the R32 kit is so much more expensive??

Anyway, thanks. Ill price the ACL kit too; but where is ACL?

only catch is you've got to be a financial member of SAU if you dont have a trade card.

How do i become a financial member???

Also, forgive my stupidity, but what does VRS stand for? Been racking my brains all day!!

Thanks,

Shaun.

PS. Was this for an RB26 (32 or 33). Dont you have an RB25?

And it will get you cheaper entry to the club events and track days as well as the sponsor discounts.

And VRS stands for "Very Rare and Spensive"
