Nitto DBS Metal Head Gasket - Nissan RB25DET - Skyline (R33) / Stagea (WC34)
A Nitto DBS Drag Series multi-layer metal head gasket for the Nissan RB25DET in the R33 Skyline GTS-T and early Stagea. It is built to keep a reliable seal under high boost and cylinder pressure, whether the car is a quick street build or a drag or circuit car.
Choose the compressed thickness: 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm or 1.8 mm. A thicker gasket lowers static compression and increases piston-to-head clearance, so have your engine builder confirm the right thickness for your pistons, deck height and boost level. All thicknesses suit 86.0 to 87.0 mm bores.
Note: Installation by a professional is recommended. Engine internals must be measured and set up by a qualified engine builder.
Features
- Nitto DBS Drag Series multi-layer metal (MLS) construction
- Proven bead seal around each bore
- Additional stainless metal "O-ring" sealing each bore from combustion pressure
- Bore seal tested with Fuji Prescale pressure film
- Extreme-duty HR-200 coating for water and oil gallery sealing
- Suits 86.0 to 87.0 mm bores
- Available in 1.2, 1.5 and 1.8 mm thickness
