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.

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
