Does anyone know if this kit comes with metal or paper gaskets.
I know that the head gasket is a metal 1.2mm one but the intake and exhaust gaskets?

The kit is for an Rb26
Thanks

the head is Nismo metal, but the rest is standard OEM bits, which is a mix of paper and metal (paper exhaust, metal turbo, etc)

Paper exhaust?

Paper Intake......Metal Exhaust....

right, got them backwards.

might as well put metal on the inlets if your taking it apart.

I bought metal intake and throttle gaskets (Tomei) to go with the Tomei exhaust gaskets I had on hand, but then I was wondering...the intake doesn't see high pressures nor high temperatures, so what's the point? reusability? anyways, I've got 'em, I'll use em.

If anyone needs the standard bits from a Nissan gasket kit, PM me, I've got lots left over.

I guess the paper ones deteriorate after a while hence quite a few R32's have this problem with the intake manifold gaskets leaking.

At the end of the day they're around 15 years old or so. I guess the metal ones will last longer, and if you've removed an inlet plenum then you'll understand why you don't want to take it off regualarly!!!

I fitted HKS metal ones when i did my plenum. And you'll be surprised how cheap they are aswell IMO.

How much boost will the head gasket that comes whit this package take?
Should i consider use something else for 1,8-2Kg boost?
