The HKS Throttle Body Gasket (23009-AK001) fits RB26DETT engines in Nissan Skyline GT-R models from 1989 to 2002. This metal gasket creates a tight seal between the throttle body and intake manifold to stop air leaks and maintain vacuum integrity. It supports tuned engines with increased boost while delivering consistent airflow for better response.
Key Features

Hardware
Automotive hardware encompasses the fasteners, clips, retainers, and mounting hardware that hold virtually every component on a vehicle in place, from engine bay bolts that endure extreme heat and vibration to interior trim clips that must release cleanly during service without breaking. Quality automotive hardware from brands including ARP, Dorman, and OEM equivalent suppliers provides reliable clamping force and corrosion resistance that cheap hardware does not, reducing the likelihood of seized or stripped fasteners that turn a simple service into a time-consuming repair. For engine and high-stress suspension applications, ARP's heat-treated fasteners provide torque capacity and fatigue resistance that exceed standard hardware grade specifications by a significant margin. For interior, body, and trim applications, OEM-equivalent push pins, clips, and retainers from Dorman provide exact-fit replacements that insert and release correctly without the frustration of incompatible gene...

Individual automotive hardware pieces allow builders, fabricators, and repair technicians to purchase the exact fastener or clip needed for a specific application without purchasing a complete assortment or kit that contains many items that will never be used. From a single M10x1.25 socket head bolt for a caliper bracket to a specific Dorman push pin retainer for a door panel, individual hardware items are the solution for targeted repairs that require an exact match to the factory or application specification. Professional shops stock individual hardware items to avoid the delay of ordering complete kits for single-item needs, and enthusiast builders maintain a selection of critical fasteners for their specific vehicle platform to avoid build interruptions from a single missing bolt or clip. Quality individual hardware from ARP, Dorman, and metric fastener suppliers provides the same reliability as complete kit purchases at the appropriate quantity for each specific need. Popular U...
