WELL DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ANY OF THESE ENGINE SUPPLIERS CAN GET THEM?

Post by **dcdrifter** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

will you stop with the google sh*t. If someone has a question they come here. They dont need you to tell them to search somewhere else. If you have a question, take your a$$ to google!!!

Here is what searching gets you. They have metal head haskets. Go to the trust, engine parts. They cost 171 and 188 USD.

THANKS, I HAVE LOOKED AT THAT BUT THEY ARE WAY OVER PRICED. NO I HAVEN'T CALLED MCKINNEY YET. NO I HAVE NOT POSTED ON SDU BUT THAT IS WERE I WAS LOOKING TO GET INFORMATION.

And then an extra 100 bucks for shipping...too expensive if you ask me.

Post by **spec-v5150** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

I thought 150-200 was a good price for a metal head gasket. Guess not.........And until this particular swap is more popular, us RB20 swappers will be forced to pay.

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

YEAH ITS THE SHIPPING THAT MAKES IT TOO EXPENSIVE. IF IT WAS $188 HERE IN THE US I'D BE ALL OVER IT.

Post by **spec-v5150** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

shipping shouldnt be too much. That isnt a heavy item...

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

ITS FROM JAPAN AND IT HAS TO GO THROUGH CUSTOMS. ITS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE. IF SHIPPING WAS LESS THAN $40 - 50 I'D BUY IT.

I DIDN'T KNOW TAKA-KAIRA USES EMS, THEN YEAH I'LL GO AND CHECK INTO IT MORE. I THINK I'LL HAVE VENUS PAY FOR THE OTHER GASKETS CAUSE MY FRIEND WHO IS DOING THIS PROJECT WITH ME SAID THE ENGINE MAYBE BAD AND I KNOW I NEED THE TURBO GASKETS ALSO. OHH WELL I'LL FIGURE IT OUT. THE 4TH SUCKED I GOT TO WAKE UP TO MY CAR GETTING BURGLARIZED AND DAMAGED AND MY FRIEND ECLIPSE TOO. THERE IS LIKE OVER $3500 IN DAMAGES AND THEFT. THEY FU*K'D MY transmission UP AND DESTROYED THE INTERIOR AND REAR SEAT, MESSED UP THE HU MOUNTING POINTS. ARCED THE SUB POWER LINES OHH THE INTERIOR BODY PUTTING HOLES IN THE CHASSIS. UHH BAD WEEKEND BUT GOT ALOT DONE ON MY RB AND THE 300ZX MY FRIEND HAS.

Try Daunttless at Afterdark....he can get your sh1t for you quick. Thats where Im getting my belts and stuff. He told me it was around $20 for RB timing belt. That seems pretty cheap to me.

go F_CK yourself;)

people are lazy and want a spoon fed answer without even trying. i have proved google is very useful several times and the answer was there. what i don't need is a uptite a$$wad spouting sh_t at me ok. and if i have a question i search for it then ask a close friend of mine who works on rb's for a living.

which by the way i haven't had to ask questions here on the forum. people actually ask for my opinion. so don't pop off at me ok. sounds like to me your so wound up you could loosen lugnutz with your bare hands. so do me a favor and take a big ol bite off that chill pill your sittin on. OK! geez wtf?

Post by **y3llows14** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

Why would you wanna buy 2 or 3 timing belts?

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

CAUSE I AM GOING TO GET MULTIPLE MOTORS. ONE IS GOING TO GO IN STOCKISH WITH EXTERNAL MODS AND THE OTHER IS GETTING A REBUILD FROM THE BLOCK UP. ITS GOING TO BE MY MONSTER RB BLOCK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO TO IT YET THOUGH.

Post by **dcdrifter** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

poeple come here to search for answers. If they need an answer that you dont feel has been researched enough than keep your mouth shut and dont reply. Telling people to search is not helping at all. And as far as loosening lugnuts with bare hands? who says that. Grow up jacka$$!!!!!!

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

AND RUB I HAVE SEARCHED ALL I GOT WAS THAT ONE SITE AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF FORUM TOPICS. THAT IS WHY I ASKED HERE, I DO DO MY OWN RESEARCH AND IF I CAN'T FIND WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR I ASK HERE. SORRY FOR PISSING YOU OFF.

Post by **RubHamuSan** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

i wasn't pissed at you i was at dc jerkoff....i was saying that people in general want a spoonfed answer. and dc it's a open forum if any mod wants to edit me then ok. but until then i will say what ever i want to.also you need to stay out of other peoples sh*t this thread had nothing to do with you until you jumped on me. i was giving out info.what were you doing? starting sh*t oic your purpose now OK!and you are way too uptite. i bet your real quit in person but a big man on the forum. you need to grow up.i don't hear you helping out here either.

Takakaira is your best bet. I've ordered a h22 timing belt and a turbo timer from them, it arrived in 4 days by EMS. Total cost of shipping was $38.Most US resellers do a flat ¥100=$1 conversion for prices. Like rbmotoring they sell rb timing belts for $138 when it should be ~$117. Now say you buy 3 138x3=$414 rbmotoring 117x3=$351 +38 shipping= 389 $25 difference

And that's not including rbmotoring shipping. The box my stuff came in could fit 4 power enterprise timing belt boxes and would weigh less than a turbotimer + 1 tbelt. That's why I used $38 as an example.

What is EMS shipping? When I inquired about shipping something that I was thinking about buying from Takakaira (small item) I was quoted a price around 100 dollars, but I know it wasnt with a shipping service that had EMS in the name or description of it...

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

COOL. BUT EVEN TAKA KAIRA IS EXPENSIVE FOR SOME OF THEIR STUFF.

Post by **spec-v5150** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:01 am

forgot what the acronym stands for. Some qucik *** shipping. Can get expensive though if you mail big ****
