I believe I have a blown head gasket and am currently collecting all the parts needed to replace the gasket. I have been looking for "Gasket kits" but all seem to be online and need shipping. Is there anyone locally who does these kits?( complete gasket kit for RB20det) In Brisbane.

Here is my shopping list

- ARP head studs

- gasket kit

- oil*

- oil filter

- coolant

- new radiator

Anything else I should need?

* I have oil in the radiator which is why I want to flush coolant and oil to make sure they aren't contaminated. Car will be flushed professionally after gaskets are replaced

Why don't you want to buy it online? Plenty of places to get it from online at resonable prices and can only take a day or so to get there

I always deal with Kudos Motorsport and they are great, you can go to the Gold Coast to their shop if you really want but you should get stuff from there the next day if you order online

I really dont know why this tread was necessary, seems like you could have googled this or looked at the business traders in the for sale section

Tacoma Nissan on ebay is relatively well priced for a full OEM engine gasket set. Will include valve stem seals, plenum gaskets, cams cover seals, new exhaust manifold. While the head is off it might be worthwhile fully servicing the head. About 10 days from order to delivery.

I was only finding US sellers when searching for part numbers or people who wanted lots of time to ship it or even people who wanted to charge me $647 for a gasket kit... I broadened my search and finally found Kudos motorsport thank rajab i found them, best, most comprehensive site I could find.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
