Hi guys

Just finishing off my rb26/30 build and have read good things of these thermal intake manifold gaskets.

Any one have any input, advice or experience using them?

I'm having a lot of trouble finding a stockist,

iv contacted gizmo who used to make them but have since seized manufacturing due to low demand.

Anyone have any idea where to locate them at all?

For the single head to intake manifold gasket.

Already have the 6 steel throttle body gaskets sorted.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Tom

I currently use the Gizzmo one on my SR - no issues in the last 6 years. Make sure you have enough length on your studs to fit the spacer. I also have a Circuit Sports one which I got through FRSport.

Anyway, scroll down and select desired model.

Yeah iv tried direct threw the gizmo site and a few others which listed the gizmo part only to have them all bounce with a reply email saying they no longer stock them.

I read a few posts from forum member STATUS about his use with them etc and have tried pm'ing on here but am not allowed for some reason?

I run one on my RB25, though I'm not sure if I would believe the hype about improving the performance due to having a cooler intake manifold. Heat is still transferred to the intake manifold through the coolant galleries. I wonder if anyone has done a before and after comparison with a heat gun?

Their had been a few posts from status where he logged some definite temp reductions using them.

Any idea on a company name still making them?

I had found a aus company called Mace engineering but it seems they only make them for rb25's.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
