hey mate i used to get some of that exhaust gasket paper from auto1. Its a metal gasket with some weird outer layer so it doesnt look like metal until u cut it.. its pretty cheap and works ok... i dont recomend using it all the time as mine used to burn after a month or 2... its too thin...

u can get a proper gasket from midus for like $7...

yeh true but ur quickest and best bet is midas exhaust centre... they have all sizes in stock ready to go. and they are all a generic gasket, meaning they can be slightly modified to fit most flanges. ie they will get the closest match then one hole will be elongated... plus they are cheap.

repco never have any in stock

How do you guys go cutting the stuff? I had a hell of a time, tried using a grinder and no dice. :S

I bought a VL exhaust manifold gasket ~$8 and tried to swap around a couple of the ports but as it turned out it was slightly off centre anyway so my port matching of the manifold/head etc would have gone to waste. + I couldn't cut it. :P

I ended up tracking down a gen nissan rb26 gasket for next to nothing on ebay, cut and then used that.

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
