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've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
