Judging by the wide corner piece design, I am thinking that those JHB ones are the same as the RA seal...
For one piece I think you are going to have to look at ceramics like the NRS.. There is a mazda one piece seal, but I havent see a part number for it advertised in North America..The real application for a one piece is a full bridge, what are you planning on using it for?.. I just built a P-port, I wish I could have gotten a set of 3 piece for that motor..Max

I have a million one piece apex seals in stock !

riceracing@ozemail.com.au

Quite a few well regarded racers/engine builders use our seals (NRS), send me an e-mail and I will give you a fair price on them
They make more power on my one piece than they do on multy piece OEM or aftermarket. Extremely fine tollerances and surface finish + very low coeficeint of friction = high power, & unlike very poor second rate rubbish that gets made in a blast furnace from pig iron it stays in top order even after many hours of hard use

Wish I had money for those too. This makes me wonder how much these seals would be if NRS had a contract with Mazda to use these in a mass produced vehicle?

Hi Guy's

You can afford them. Let's take a look at some approx seal prices from Mazda.
N351-11-C00 @ $380.00 USD/6 and the springs probably cost $ 70.00 USD/12 (not sure about the cost of the little inner spring as I never use them) totalling about $450.00 USD this is probably a low# in light of some of the factory price increases.

My 1pc black seals cost about double that plus springs. That's a cheap upgrade for the many benefits these seals will offer especially in turbo cars. If they save you from 1 build or the cost of R & R for that matter then they have already earned their keep. Performance, durability and longevity, you can't afford to be without them.

Makes me think I am charging too little, so get them now before I raise the price! Ha ha just kidding

Is there something specific you want to know? Check out the thread: NRS Ceramic seal test results maybe your answer is there.
Thanks
