Fj20 Gaskets

[benny_blanco]

Im going to re-spray the Rocker Cover and Mainifold, as mainifold is currently purple and I dont think the rocker cover i want a bright red.

But Im thinking I will need to replace the Head and Turbo Inlet Manifold Gaskets when I do this??

Can someone point me in the right direction where to get some and what price I should be paying.

...Finaly I will actually be doing the work on my car myself

I got a full VRS kit for mine from Datsport Glenn, but it cost a bit, pretty sure my brother got some gaskets for his from there as well....I did the same thing, but only have to replace the rocker cover and that spark plug alley gasket, when (if) my motor ever comes out im going to respray the plenum as well!

Ring nissan.

You only need, rocker cover gasket and manifold gasket, not head gasket.

If your carefull you might not even need a rocker cover gasket depends if the person before you put sealant on it or not.

thanks guys,

Looks like abit of a headbollocks to with all the shit to take off to paint the turbo manifold, but the purple looks soooo gay im ashamed to open my bonnet

a bright red looks good for an FJ because I want it to look original.. but the gold Crimmo had with the old FJ looked cool aswell

Don't paint them - get them powder coated - much better.

And +1 for Stewart Wilkins Motorsport....

any difference between the AVS ones and the standard ones?

and with stewart wilkins motorsport, were they standard ones he sells I couldnt seem to find any info on that...

Just get em from ya Nissan dealer dude, with the strenght of the Aussie dollar the prices for import stuff is pretty good ATM, I got a whole gasket kit about a month ago for 200 bux. Plus u can just duck down and get em, even if they have none in stock as long as a dealer in Aus has em u can generally get em the next day.

yeah was thinking that would be the best way, that way i dont have to pay the middle man plus the local nissan dealership was very helpful getting my badges in even though they cost a small fortune > <

I hear ya Glenn, I got the 2 front 1/4 and bonnet badges for my DR, cost me about $140 all up. But I did find their gasket kit $50 cheaper than SWM.
