R34 Sump Gasket

[dcanna]

Anyone know where I can get a sump gasket for gtt like today?

[Wheezy]

use grey silicon, you don't need a gasket IIRC.

no gasket.

USE this part number from repco best stuff around and you can get it in grey and black so it looks invisble.

RB26 or RB25 GTS-4 use loctite grey maxx part number 34238

RB25 or RB25 black sump use Loctite Black Maxx part number 39145

Nissan use a product called 3Bond which is made in Japan. Can be obtained from Bearing Traders or some other places like Bursons. Not saying it's better than loctite but it's definitely better :0

Urethane based rather than silicon based. Plus Nissan, Toyota, Mazda and Subaru (to name a few) all use the same stuff.

Loctite works fine if you can't get the 3Bond

i refuse to use that orange gear makes your work look half assed.. the whole point of nissan using it is to determine warranty jobs and if something has been apart before. The loctite numbers above are the grey and black equivs.

The 3Bond is grey. I know the orange stuff you are referring to but that is used for gearboxes by Toyota. Not crankcase.

The genuine NISSAN aftersales 3 bond is orange. i used to use about 10 tubes a week whilst working for NISSAN.... hence my hatred of it

[The Dan]

Oh ok. Never used the 3bond orange but the stuff on any unopened RB is the grey one.

Orange and red silicone should be illegal, it makes any job you do look bad. Wurth make a good grey "silicone special" something or other, it works great, doesn't sag or fall off inside the engine and looks factory.

[TerribleOne]

The Wurth stuff is great, it's called Silicone 250 if I remember. Only thing is its way too expensive when compared to other brands.

3Bond is good stuff too, had to use it on my copper head gasket to make it seal properly. Never had a problem after that!

yep...ultra grey is the stuff...im with the above about the orange crap...its for bent 8's...not Jap tech.
