Turbo Gaskets

[CATKICKER]

Hey, I am about to put on an R34 turbo and due to past experences I am not going to reuse the gaskets.

I need the turbo to manifold and turbo to dump gaskets. Am I best off getting them from Nissan or is there somewhere better / cheaper?

Also, I am looking at replacing the brass washers too, is it the same deal with them? Nissan?

How much should I be expecting to pay for it all?

Thanks in advance!

Definately use genuine Nissan... I think around $30-$40 dollars was what I paid for mine (but don't quote me )... not sure what the brass washers were worth but they are definately worth replacing also.

If you're re'using your old manifold - make sure you check it hasn't warped... Neally fell into the trap of replacing the turbo and gasket without checking the manifold on my 180 and the machine shop advised me that there was nearly .8mm warpage across the surface!

ah, warpage.... hmm, how do I go about checking that?

I just went to nissan and got what I needed. Here are the details for anyone interested.

14415-4P200 GASKET-TURBO CHARGER, INLE $32.89

14445-V2700 GASKET-TURBO CHARGER, OUTL $29.15

15193-P9000 WASHER-DRAIN PLUG $6.88

15189-01P00 GASKET-EYE BOLT $6.48

15196-73L00 GASKET-OIL, TURBO CHARGER $2.77

use a straight edge.. but i think they were talking about manifold to head surface.. cant see 0.8 warp in the turbo flange on the manifold..

funny that the t3 flange for the inlet is more than the turbo/dump gasket..

I had a feeling it may have been head to manifold!

Ha ha, yeah I thought it myself that a smaller and more common gasket would be more expensive but I guess they are business hippies, they understand the concept of supply in demand!

get them all replaced at the same time, may as well

I won't be getting them replaced but 'I' will replace them!!
