Hey guys anyone know where to buy r33 Rb25DET Rocker Cover Gaskets from?

got mine from car bits suger road. 'protorque gaskets'.

[R334door]

for that sort of thing you cant go past genuine nissan gaskets.Nothing worse than having a oil leak from crappy gaskets.

[datt0man]

So are you taling about gasket goo on the raised half circles on the front side of the covers?

yes. especially in the corners, where the half circle meets the flat section.

Even on new gaskets they need stuff there.

[RaBBiT001]

I'am going to see if i can just put the old gaskets back in as they still look fine and i only took them off to paint the rocker covers.

[datt0man]

Yeah, theyre usually ok. as long as they are still rubbery

[000DNK]

I posted this on another forum, but as its relevant to here, I’ll post it as well. In the event the newspaper takes up my offer and you want to have your say, let me know.

"So the local paper ran a huge front cover story on "hoons" and how Noosa has the highest amount of impoundments made in all of this state. They asked for readers views, I have the below so far. Ignore grammar and spelling ect:"

"Hoons Locked Out".

My thoughts?

As a car enthusiast who lives in Noosa, the local Police are on nothing more then a power trip. I personally have been hounded and badgered by Police due to cars I wish to drive (anything from typical daily driver cars, to import turbo sports cars, to $120,000 Porsches).

I have spent at last count at least $35,000 on legal fee’s fighting ridiculous fines and offence’s, all of which I won with the exception to one ticket which I had pled guilty for. I have been personally harassed by local Police officers and “dubbed” all kinds of names.

I am still to this date approached by local officers down Hasting Street while I’m at Aromas with friends enjoying food a drinks about what I’m currently driving and they looking out for me.

I have been threatened to be “thrown” into jail on many of the times I have been pulled over with no due course or reason, once I make contact with my solicitor or parents by phone the Police retracted there threat.

The whole anti hooning act, atleast on the Sunshine Coast is based on discrimination, if I choose to drive a certain make or model of a car and I‘m continually harassed for it, how does that make it different from singling out someone of another race?

It’s putting everyone under one name, “black people steal” “Asians are bad drivers” “You drive a nice car, you must be a hoon”.

Not to mention the law isn’t the same for everyone. A perfect example is a 40 year old man doing “excess speed” in his late model Holden Commodore and a 20 year old man doing “excess speed” in his late model sports car.

The 40 year old man gets the speeding ticket and the 20 year old man gets his car impounded. The law needs to be clear cut for everyone, not singled out by what you drive.

We debated this subject at a local car dealership and the local mindset of people out side of the “typical hoon” age believe this should be the case, where is the justice in having two laws for the same offence. There isn’t.

A friend of mine was pulled over by local Police on Eumundi Rd in his Lexus as it caught the Police offers attention. He asked what he had done wrong, the officer said he didn’t do anything wrong, so the officer was asked to explain his actions. The officer said his car created un-due attention, even though the officer still said he was doing nothing wrong and let him go.

a) That’s discrimination

And

b) The Police officer had no reason or suspicion to pull him over, other then the officer didn’t like the car in question.

A car creating un-due attention by what make or model it is, is not an offence in this state and this situation is a perfect example of discrimination by what you drive.

How about the Police start “Policing” un-road worthy cars with bald tires, cut springs, rust and flogged out brakes, apposed to targeting nice cars with race level suspension, tires and brakes in better/safer condition then new cars.

I would welcome the opportunity for The Noosa Journal in meeting some of these enthusiasts who take the time and money to actually attended closed race meets at racetracks to compete to tell their side.

The price we have to pay for the media brain washing the general public, which in turn only will make the Police enforce this rubbish even more, so “the public” are happy.

Everyone should voice his or her opinion to the editor, titled “Hoons Locked Out”

Maybe if the editor gets a decent response it’ll make it past just another letter to the editor.

Saw that, I’ll be waiting to see the full story tomorrow night. I’ve already bailed up ACA once before on all the anti hooning stories when I was approached by them about something else.

Problem is, everyone likes to hide behind forums and won’t appear on tv in the event them and or there car would become a target. Shame really.

maybe in 10-20years mate.

politicians are a funny bunch of (generic politician comment).

just isn't enough demand for it atm. everyone wants one but wont sign up or be proactive about it.

and maybe a strip would be a easier and faster way to get something happening. only need some bitumen, barricades, marshels etc etc etc. not to mention the years of preperation....feasability studies, emission issues, sound and light pollution, permits, legislation...ZZZZzzzzzzz

surely that is a better way of going about it, compared to waiting 10+yrs for a full blown course to be built.
