HEAD GASKETS(METAL): This is a highly recommended modification. High boost can obliterate the stock head gasket. A good quality metal gasket will make damage due to light detonation a thing of the past, allowing for some leeway during tuning.
PRICE: $200 US parts +installation (8 hrs??)
VENDORS: HKS, Greddy, FelPro

Yeah , too bad they don't actually have them. I've been all over all those websites.........

Because the VG30ET is not a popular engine, it will not be on the website. Give them a call, or contact a vendor in the states to find some.
You'd think if a manufacturer made a certain thing , that it would be listed on their website..... For example : HKS lists metal headgaskets for a 2TC engine , found in the 71-82 Corolla..... a car much farther out of the loop than the Z31. If somone wanted to sell something , they should list it. If they can't be bothered to list it , why should I be bothered to call them and ask about it. I'll simply buy them from somone that does list them , or use a different means of achieving what I am looking for.

I think Cometic can make some. Steve Mitchell runs stock gaskets with an o-ring up to 30 psi. The VG30E has 5 bolts per cylinder so it is sort of hard to blow a head gasket.

Wow that's more than DSM , I think. And they are considered (well amongst DSMers anyway) to have one of the more bulletproof stock headgaskets.
