Gasket, Gasket Kits?

[HR31-PASSAGE]

heya

i'm looking for gaskets for my rb25/30det conversion. i've called supercheap, auto barn & all they can do is the rb25det complete gasket kit & rb30 complete gasket kit...

so my question is where can i get the rb25 top/head end gaskets & the rb30 bottom end gaskets from, even individually if i have to, i need everything but the head gasket. i'm sure people have done this for rb25/30det conversion & had to get gaskets....

any info will be great

Go to Nissan for the head gasket (or Spoolup used to have a good aftermarket brand), exhaust, rubber seals for cam covers, and any others you want, for the front and rear main/cam/crank seals Repco will do (they are all the same, 25/26/30 except rear main) and for all the rest I use Permatex blue or grey. Oil pump, water pump, sump (grey), oil filter, throttle bodies etc are all fine with permatex. Throttle bodies use an ultra thin film, as thin as, but thick enough you can still see through it a bit. Turbo seals, I go to GCG turbos, as Nissan are stupid expensive. Oil pump, I like to mic it up to ensure clearances are good, blue permatex seal the back plate and loctite the screws down to ensure they don't come loose and drop oil pressure.

I don't like the paper seals and find that I have much better results with silicon gasket products.

Congrats on choosing a hybrid. They rock. I love my 26/30 in my R33 GTSt race car.

if you are building this motor (or your mate who doesnt have a breaker bar :s ) you will soon know what you need.

but incase u dont.

head gasket,

rocker seals

half moons

exhaust

water pump

front main and cam seals are all the same seal so x3

rear main

other than that - hylomar, permatex blue/gray/red for hot side will get you through.

is that permatex red all good to use on the water side of things?
