it would be much appreciated if anyone can tell me where i can purchase a rockercover (valve cover) gasket for a RB25DET engine...as i have searched everywhere like autobarn, bursons, repco etc they only sell vrs kits (whole gasket set) and it's like about $400 and also timing belt, none seem to have a listing apart from repco, they were on back order got to wait till mid late next year i was told...phhhht what joke!!!

thank you.

I go directly to Nissan for all my parts. Reasonable pricing imo for genuine parts.

Recently did my rockercover gasket for my RB20. If I remember right the rockercover gaskets and halfmoon rubber seals were a total of 70 bucks and for 20 washers was 40 bucks.

Good luck

$70 is reasonable but then again thats for a RB20...it might be more expensive for a RB25DET, i was told it had to come in from Japan..i tried asking the jap car mechanic shops, i even offered to buy it from them they were no help in pointing me to the wright direction....some C?NT even quoted me $770 just to change the rockercover gasket. "and i am 100% sure i heard him correct"

Yer not sure about RB25 pricing but I doubt it would be much more expensive. Just go to Nissan and see how it goes, if you've got an asshole parts division at your Nissan who won't look after you because you have an import, give Gary Lechte Nissan (Frankston) a shot, they've been very helpful and friendly when I go in for my parts. Their number is 9782 2744. :D

mate i can get you the two rocker cover gaskets and the timing belt for $120 all up.

timing belt: 130285L327

rocker cover gaskets: 1327058S01 and 1327058S11

im in sydney but can send these parts to ur local nissan dealer for u to pik up if interested...

ALL PARTS ARE IN STOCK

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
