near 100? you're getting them cheap then. The least i've gotten one for is 130 from nissan

i paid 150 for my last one.

Personal preference only here, but the last thing i want is to get everything installed, turn the key and hear tick tick tick tick from a gasket leak because the single layer after market gaskets available don't have the thickness to account for the slightly warped 200k old manifold (or 50k old badly warped hks one in my case).

I'm pretty certain aftermarket vl ones can be used if you want to go that way

I get mine from a local autoparts shop they are either ACL or permaseal and are only about $25. They have 7 peices one that goes over all 6 ports and then an individual one for each port. A surface grind on the manifold is almost mandatory.

Theres a group buy now for NA headers..

Its $10 for the gasket..

I could buy two and send you one.. or you could see if you can just buy the gasket..

is the permaseal one a single layer gasket? the nissan one is very thick, its made up of quite a few layers.

anyone got a part no for the permasel/acl ones?

GTS4wd: lol 10 bucks ey, what kinda gasket is it?

You'll have to go on the site on the link I gave you and see..

Id say it would be something similar to a Nissan one.. I wouldnt be expecting anything amazing out of $10..

Just thought I might throw it in there.. see if it helps at all

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
