rbmotoring.com has them. Your going to get raped on price wherever you buy one. I was going to make my own, but decided that the exhaust man. gasket was too crucial. Leak = burnt valves.

the exhaust gasket from nissan is like 100 bucks, then you have to pay for shipping. we can get them but then you are paying for shipping and depending on how fast you want them. you get what you pay for i think like 3 day is like 70 bucks. and standard is like 35 bucks. but we can get them for you.

$100 seems a bit high. $250 for a full gasket kit includes HG, intake, exh, all new turbo gaskets, o rings, camshaft seals, main seals, etc. etc.

$80 is what RBmotoring quoted my for the gasket. I bet they are $50 from the dealer so $80 isn't too bad of a price. But I think I am going to get copper ones made for less. Instead of making it one peice I want to get it made in 6 peices for each port.

yea you might be better off doing that. The OEM ones arent anything special (although the OEM exh gaskets seem to be better quality than int gaskets).

one of my intake gaskets came with a nice tear in it (paper POS) too. I didnt realize they were paper OEM until i opened my gasket kit. my engine came w/ metal ones on the intake side so i think i'm just gonna use those

might want to try emailing him. I bought two sets outside of ebay. Price was around $140 shipped each. Came in a couple weeks, I haven't inspected them closely, but they look good. Better than paying $80 just for one gasket.
