I don't think you'll get one from anywhere quickly. Expect at least a 3 week wait. Probablly more like 6.

Just use a couple of layered cornflake boxes.

Can we not hassle cometic to do CA ones? (which the do already but just not letting on that they do)The cometic MLS SR ones are like fook all money ($79) and no doubt as good as the Jap stuff.

I have a tomei one. got it from raretrick.com though i would not recommend going with them. their customer service is terrible. they underestimate the cost of parts and charge you more on a very regular basis. it also took 3.5 months to get a set of samco hoses that i was promised would take less than 3 weeks. i got my headgasket but it took forever. **** raretrick, lol.

I can get standard headgaskets pretty easily and also metal headgaskets. The metal headgaskets are NISMO units and the cost $230 each and takes about 2 weeks to get here.
