i'm looking for gaskets for my rb25/30det conversion. i've called supercheap, auto barn & all they can do is the rb25det complete gasket kit & rb30 complete gasket kit...

so my question is where can i get the rb25 top/head end gaskets & the rb30 bottom end gaskets from, even individually if i have to, i need everything but the head gasket. i'm sure people have done this for rb25/30det conversion & had to get gaskets....

any info will be great :)

Go to Nissan for the head gasket (or Spoolup used to have a good aftermarket brand), exhaust, rubber seals for cam covers, and any others you want, for the front and rear main/cam/crank seals Repco will do (they are all the same, 25/26/30 except rear main) and for all the rest I use Permatex blue or grey. Oil pump, water pump, sump (grey), oil filter, throttle bodies etc are all fine with permatex. Throttle bodies use an ultra thin film, as thin as, but thick enough you can still see through it a bit. Turbo seals, I go to GCG turbos, as Nissan are stupid expensive. Oil pump, I like to mic it up to ensure clearances are good, blue permatex seal the back plate and loctite the screws down to ensure they don't come loose and drop oil pressure.

I don't like the paper seals and find that I have much better results with silicon gasket products.

Congrats on choosing a hybrid. They rock. I love my 26/30 in my R33 GTSt race car.

if you are building this motor (or your mate who doesnt have a breaker bar :s ) you will soon know what you need.

but incase u dont.

head gasket,

rocker seals

half moons

exhaust

water pump

front main and cam seals are all the same seal so x3

rear main

other than that - hylomar, permatex blue/gray/red for hot side will get you through.

is that permatex red all good to use on the water side of things?

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
