Nissan GT-R R35 Rocker Cover Gasket and Plug Seal














Nissan Skyline GT-R R35 is using the VR38DETT engine, this is the engine using in the GT-R from 2007 until present, this engine also use in the limited production Nissan Juke-R, Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Prototype.











This V6 engine consider have a similar design in their rocker cover like those in VQ series, there are 6 pieces plug seal on the rocker cover, 3 each in the left and right rocker cover.

Unlike the earlier VQ series where Nissan had the plug seal to service for the after market replacement, but for the VR38DETT Nissan only come out with the rocker cover gasket for replacement, they didn't actually produce the individual plug seal, but you can see the plug seal clearly in the new rocker cover in below photo.

Since there are customer looking for the plug seal with bringing the plug seal to check the size if any other oil seal can be use for replacement, we found out that one of the Subaru crankshaft oil seal is fit nicely and perfectly on the rocker cover plug holes.
