I was interested until i saw the price!

That is way too expensive mate, i can get the same part from grenline, checker flag or ooparts for almost $200 less than that price including insurance, shipping, duty etc etc..... That goes for the Trust item you are tyring to sell and any others such as Tomei, HKS, etc....

I am sorry about hijacking your thread, but i was genuinely interested as i have a frined who is looking for one at the moment, but for your price, no chance!

If you can get it for $200 less, I'd buy a truckload of em ASAP coz I'm selling now selling it for less than what I paid for it.

I'd genuinely like to see a quote from anyone who will give you a brand new Trust 1.2mm metal head gasket for $430.

That headgasket is 36000 YEN in Japan...

...so i would love to know how you can get it for $430 including delivery, insurance and duties.

You well know that if you had to import that headgasket legitimately (including duties) it would cost you more tha $630.

Goto ooparts international inc. and re-check your price.... you will be pleasantly surprised....

$480 will get you a TOMEI 1.0 or 1.2 mm headgasket through the books including all shipping and taxes......PLUS Tomei are arguably the best in the business

I took your advice and looked up the ooparts website.

This trust headgasket is 39000 YEN on their site.

At the exchange rate of 75 YEN per dollar, that translates to over $500 in Japan.

Now, you'll have to explain how you figure you can get it landed here including the duties for $480.

Easy! You pay someone $480 to go steal one! Complete cost is only $480, including taxes and shipping (if you go pick him up).

That explains it then. Everything is cheaper stolen. :)

Man, Leewah your price is awsome. Any one running massive boost, you should think about lowering your compression with this

Standard compression on a RB26 is 8.5.

With this head gasket, it change the compression to about 8.3.

These are top of the line head gaskets and this one is unused. I decided I didn't need it after I bought it.

BNR32: Come on mate read the rules.

If you want to debate the price do NOT do it in the thread. Leewah is offering the part for $630. If you feel that the price is unfair you are welcome to pm him rather than tainting his thread for any other potential buyers.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
