Rockercover Gasket

[Astonish]

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.

nissan would ask for a fair bit also wouldnt they?

try the wreckers if all fails

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"

From memory the 180 seals are about the same price (quoted within last 2 months).

(as a comparison)

If there is any difference between the 20 and 25 if would be sweet Fu(k all. Same sort of dimensions on the rockercover so just beacause its an rb25 i dont think its going to warrent a higher price.

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.
