Hey guys,

I'm trying to work out which RB motor this gasket kit is for. Been doing some searching on the net but cant match the part number. Its a Durapro intake manifold metal gasket kit. The part number is GSMS3212D. Please dont worry about the 3 bolt dump gasket as its not part of the kit. I suspect this kit is for a RB25 or 26. Hope you guys can help me shed some light on it. Heres a pic of the kit:

Thank you elite. How can you tell its RB25?

It's actually RB25 Neo. The long metal gasket belongs to the inlet manifold where it goes against the cylinder head.

The RB26 uses a paper gasket there. This means it could be RB20 or RB25 but then you see the rubber gasket/seal with the 6 holes in it. That is the plenum gasket that goes between the plenum and the inlet manifold. The RB20 one is different. So it has to be RB25. Then you see the gasket directly under the 3 bolt exhaust flange one. It looks sorta like a pair of binoculars, that's Neo only.

Hope that clears it up for you.

    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
