DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

HKS Head Gasket and Exhaust Manifold Gasket Kit for R35 Nissan GT-R [23009-AN010]

HKS offers a Head Gasket designed to enhance the performance of the R35 GT-R, addressing the limitations of the factory bore sealing proof stress found in the stock head gasket. By replacing the factory gasket with the HKS Head Gasket, the GT800 Package can achieve higher performance levels. This HKS Head Gasket also includes an Exhaust Manifold Gasket and is recommended for use with the GT800 Package to ensure proper engine upgrades.

Enhanced Sealing and Durability

  • HKS has enhanced bore seal proof stress by increasing the stopper height from 0.10mm to 0.15mm, while narrowing the width to maintain high proof stress with the factory Head Bolt axial tension. The bead plate angle was optimized to improve seal pressure at the oil and coolant contact surfaces without compromising bore seal integrity. Unlike the factory gasket, which only coats the bead area, HKS fully coats the gasket surface, improving the rigid connection between the cylinder head and block during installation. Additionally, the Exhaust Manifold Gasket is upgraded with a 4-layer bead plate, compared to the factory’s 3-layer design, providing improved seal durability under high exhaust pressure conditions.

Optimized Bore Stopper Design

  • HKS separates the bore stopper and bead, positioning the stopper to concentrate tightening force around the bore and the bead around the stopper. This design increases bore stopper load, which is not achievable with the factory combined type, while preventing deformation of the cylinder head and cylinder by placing the stopper within the hard bead plate.

Features

  • High engine output part, designed to replace the factory head gasket.
  • Improved the bore seal proof stress at high output and high boost by the redesigning the structure without upgrading the Head Bolt. (Bore seal pressure of the contacted surface was improved by 30%)
  • In-house test at 900PS confirmed the durability and safety.
  • The compression ratio of HKS Head Gasket is 9.0 which is the same as the factory ratio.
  • The Exhaust Manifold Gasket uses the 4-layer seal bead design (t=0.8). The factory is 3-layer design (t=0.6)

Applications

  • Nissan GT-R: CBA-R35, DBA-R35, EBA-R35 (2009-present) – 3.8L TT V6 VR38DETT

Notes

The bore diameter, thickness, and exhaust gasket shape match the factory gasket

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only.
