STATUS Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 nissan seel bare heads cheap - about 800 from memory that even i did not know.... i buy cranks and blocks (used too) but figured heads would be drug money.... off to nissan 2moro Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/299545-best-place-to-buy-new-rb26-head-bare/#findComment-4979368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 You can get a 2nd hand head with cams, valves etc for that price, i sold one a couple of weeks ago for $850, perfect nick Not too bad though for Nissan pricing, is that RRP? Trade would easily be $150 less (bit of an educated guess based on what ive seen) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/299545-best-place-to-buy-new-rb26-head-bare/#findComment-4979369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stomper Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Not sure about $850 for a brand new head - I bought one through Nissan earlier this year and it cost me $1550 flown in from Japan. That was the trade price as well. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/299545-best-place-to-buy-new-rb26-head-bare/#findComment-4979727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r33_racer Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 was that head bare? or with full valvetrain or even part valvetrain? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/299545-best-place-to-buy-new-rb26-head-bare/#findComment-4979892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Not sure about $850 for a brand new head - I bought one through Nissan earlier this year and it cost me $1550 flown in from Japan. That was the trade price as well. duncan said a bare head for $850, which is pretty good. $1500 would sound about right for a complete one, then add on Nissan Aust "tax" $$ Shipping etc. Maybe $1700-2k somewhere?

stomper Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 was that head bare? or with full valvetrain or even part valvetrain? Bare, just cam caps which are specific to the head. I checked the receipt and it was $1615 trade.

Beer Baron Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 yeah I think dundan is a bit off with pricing. last time I priced one up (recently) they are welll over $1000 from nissan. more like $1500 for a bare head with caps.

N1GTR Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I think Duncan forgot to put a "1" infront of that 800 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/299545-best-place-to-buy-new-rb26-head-bare/#findComment-5002044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 $1599 at just jap and in stock. might get it a bit cheaper if you talk to Darron. Cost me over $700 for 12 new nissan exhaust valves when I did my head recently.

Cost me over $700 for 12 new nissan exhaust valves when I did my head recently. That wasn't all that smart. You could have bought oversize valves for both sides for less Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/299545-best-place-to-buy-new-rb26-head-bare/#findComment-5003237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
