Darren we paid $150 for our headgasket.

Be sure to follow the manufactures install instructions. :cheers:

They make them to suit the RB26 (same as RB30) and also the R33 RB25DET with its VCT.

The RB26 headgasket is a little more expensive than the RB25DET gasket.

You can use the RB25DET gasket on the RB30DET with no drama's.

I thought it was $150, but didnt want to quote it just incase i got it wrong...but there you go :rant: I thought Andrew (our machinist) told me it was the rb25 gasket he used as well.

Well i heard stock internals on an RB20 wit the right tuning etc can handle 18+psi, but i wouldnt go past 15psi on an rb25 due to the higher compression levels! Even though its only 2psi more should give you a shitload more power as you'd get closer to the turbos efficent power range im guessing.

just had the head pulled of my rb25,and there is nothing wrong with the stock nissan headgasket, but my engine has engested a small piece of metal!! probably left over from the dodgy welding done on the inside of my custom 4inch air take. motor needs a rebuild. so running 20psi bost wasnt what killed my engine it was foreign material.

you didnt check it before putting it on?

i'd check for dmg on the turb too, would be if its from before a turbo.

oh btw, ran up 369rwkw @ MAS yesterday.

will get my dyno sheet and more details when i have some time/scanner & someone to host it lol.

how much did it cost to rebuild your engine r31 nismoid? whats been done? who rebuilt it?

around the 7k mark, motor in and out included.

GTR Rods, Forged pistons, tuned etc etc.

Done by Ben @ Race Pace Motorsport, i wouldnt take my car anywhere else :(

What fuel and psi was that with?

    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
    • Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
