I believe I have a blown head gasket and am currently collecting all the parts needed to replace the gasket. I have been looking for "Gasket kits" but all seem to be online and need shipping. Is there anyone locally who does these kits?( complete gasket kit for RB20det) In Brisbane.

Here is my shopping list

- ARP head studs

- gasket kit

- oil*

- oil filter

- coolant

- new radiator

Anything else I should need?

* I have oil in the radiator which is why I want to flush coolant and oil to make sure they aren't contaminated. Car will be flushed professionally after gaskets are replaced

Why don't you want to buy it online? Plenty of places to get it from online at resonable prices and can only take a day or so to get there

I always deal with Kudos Motorsport and they are great, you can go to the Gold Coast to their shop if you really want but you should get stuff from there the next day if you order online

I really dont know why this tread was necessary, seems like you could have googled this or looked at the business traders in the for sale section

Tacoma Nissan on ebay is relatively well priced for a full OEM engine gasket set. Will include valve stem seals, plenum gaskets, cams cover seals, new exhaust manifold. While the head is off it might be worthwhile fully servicing the head. About 10 days from order to delivery.

I was only finding US sellers when searching for part numbers or people who wanted lots of time to ship it or even people who wanted to charge me $647 for a gasket kit... I broadened my search and finally found Kudos motorsport thank rajab i found them, best, most comprehensive site I could find.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
