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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
