Rocker Gasket Kit

[blind_elk]

Apologies, but not willing to hunt through 21 pages of "Stagea Parts List".

I have a RB25DET from a (early, 1996?) C34 in my R32 GTS4, and I need a new Rocker Gasket Kit, including the washers.On the assumption that all 25s are the same, I got a Protorque GVC6100 kit, but it has the wrong style washers, and the gasket appears to be a bee's-dick short. Most kits don't clearly show the washers, so I don't know if they will work. I've found a Durapro GSRC3025K, but again not confident it has the correct washers (washers need to be basically flat, not the type that insert into the rocker).

I contacted my local Nissan dealer, asking if they could get the correct kit if I gave them the engine number. The can only search on a VIN.

There are kits on eBay, but they claim to fit 180SXs as well as Stageas / R33s / etc, so I'm dubious that they are the correct kit.

Anyone done this before? Maybe give me your VIN so I can quote it to the dealer.

Any help / guidance appreciated.

Being a 96 it would be a non neo rb25, so any non neo rb25 gasket should fit. If I was you, I'd be calling the likes of kudos motorsport , EFI solutions to ensure you're getting the right part and ordering a genuine Nissan gasket kit. Will be a lot cheaper than Nissan spare parts as well.

All 25’s are the same except NEO

As  I said in OP, the grommets (washers) are different. I need the plain flat type that acts like a washer - the kit I originally got has the type that insert into the retaining bolt hole.

I'll give kudos a call Monday, see what they can do.

This is NOT the type I need:

That is the correct type on my stagea's rb25; they pull down about 50% in height as you tighten them, and the bonded metal part is the washer (ie, your pic is upside down)

Per this post, those are the ones I used on mine 

 

This is how they sit, don't overtighten them

(upside down because that's how they were pictured!)

Aha! So it IS the type I need!

Actually found replacement bolts that come with a flat rubber washer from EFI Solutions (https://www.efisolutions.com.au/billet-rocker-cover-washer-retainer-kit-rb20-rb25 ) - might fancy-up the rocker covers with a set.

That is 100% the same thing, just squished
