Gtr Gaskets

[hanyou]

hey guys ill be getting new turbos next week and wana get the gasket kit. but not sure which gaskets i need for a turbo change over. ill just be getting hi flows. i found these on the justjap website for $250. are these all the gaskets i need to swap over my turbo with the new hi flows on my 32 gtr ?

ill be getting new dump pipes so that should cover the gaskets for the dumps. if you know other places to get them for cheaper as a whole kit of everything i need (not necessarily brand name but quality stuff) let me know too! oh and i believe i also need new studs and bolts?

can anyone list me all the parts required (gaskets/bolts) i need (and where to get / price) to jus give the mechanics so they can do it all in one go?! as i dont wana muck around getting parts for this and that while waiting!

thanks!

Those gaskets you pictured do:

a) plenum to throttle bodies.

b) throttle bodies to head.

c) head to exhaust manifolds.

None or which should need to be changed for replacing the turbos.

Hey mate I went to GCG turbos in Sydney when I needed gaskets for my R32 GTST turbo, set me back about $55 I think

Check here to see if they have the ones your after:

Those gaskets you pictured do:

a) plenum to throttle bodies.

b) throttle bodies to head.

c) head to exhaust manifolds.

None or which should need to be changed for replacing the turbos.

b) Is actually inlet mannifold to head. There are 2 lots of 3 throttle body gaskets. One set for plenum and one set for inlet mannifold.

You will need to replace the head to mannifold gaskets if they break. These have to be unbolted during the job. If they dont break you can reuse them with some ultra blue. You can reuse the crush gaskets that join the dumps to the turbos a few times. Check them for leaks and perhaps use copper coat on them.

My apologies.

Deren's right there, just checked the service manual and it says to remove the exhaust manifolds when swapping turbos. Happily haven't had to do that yet.

Still, thats 2 out of the whole set. It would be better to only get what you need.

Hanyou, what you will possibly need are the Head to manifold gaskets (the 2 top ones) the manifold to turbo (not pictured) and the exhaust housiing to dump (not pictured). You can also get the dump to engine pipe but I use super copper gasket goo.

Go to GCG. I once bought all that lot from Nissan for $400.....
