    Im looking for a full gasket set for a 92 TT

    what do i get?? whats the difference between say a US$50 set off ebay, a set through work for around 500 or nissan gaskets :confused: :confused: :confused:

    how much difference can there really be? obviously im not planning on gettting the ebay set as its not worth the risk. but yeh just after some advice on what to get and where from :p

    Cheers :zlove:

    ebay = cheap, made in china, copy of the real thing. It might look and feel the same, but chances are its non-genuine and thus not the same quality. Cheaper in the short term, just as expensive if not more expensive in the long term. 'There's no free lunch'

    i reckon get an ebay set and just use genuine head gaskets

    i bought the ebay ones first time around. a few months later i have a exhaust leak from one manifold .so while the engine was out i decided to replace the head gaskets and bolts as last time i had reused the bolts due to being poor at the time :( i also replaced the turbos with brand new cartridges this time and almost everything else .
    i had the heads and gaskets inspected by the reco place and they said both were fine . so i guess its safe to say the ebay gaskets are ok but maybe the exhaust gasket was a bit dodge but i can hardly say it definitely was after it happening once
    but i think the nissan vrs kit is very cheap now anyway so check that out first too
