Just a quick one guys.

Mate has blown his head gasket and needs a new one.

He's asking me if he needs a 1.2mm, 1.5mm, or 1.8mm. (he's buying aftermarket)

I don't like lowering compression too much because you get bad fuel economy and poor off boost power.

anyway - can anyone tell me what the standard head gasket thickness is, and how much each head gasket above would drop the compression?

Also bare in mind that he's buying a 2835 HKS kit soon, so maybe factor that in.

Thanks

Jono

Standard thickness is 1.2mm.Dont lower the CR.I know of a few big power cars running stock thickness.Ill be building my motor very soon and will be keeping the stock thickness,and have even got custom CPs which are 9.0:1 (stock CR).And thats with a GT3037 bolted to the side.

And from memory 1.5mm will lower the CR to 8.6:1 with stock pistons.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)

      Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
