Nissan OEM part for t28 flange which I'm assuming will fit my t518z and aftermarket dump (as they should both be same as the original as they are bolt-ons).

Nissan have said $41 new cos I've heard the aftermarket ones are crap.

Can anyone beat $41 or suggest an aftermarket one that will be good?

This is in preparation for fitting a new stainless exhaust manifold so I figure may as well change over a gasket (or put one on) while I'm there :)

You are right about the aftermarket ones being crap, but if your genuine one isn't busted, i'd reuse it. They last ages.

I bet you will find all sorts of nuts and bolts missing when putting the manifold on....

Too_much - yeah i'd like to re-use it but I don't wanna have everything apart then find out it ain't there or ain't in a condition to be put back on so I will buy one and think of it as an upgrade. If the old one is good that's cool I'll sell mine on or keep it spare - I'm sure someone will need it.

VLS_BACK - Thanks - please let me know I will be ordering soon.

meggala - S15?! which part is s15? the dump pipe ?

PS. is there a way I can check what condition it's in before I start taking stuff off ? I'm assuming no-way.

Well if advan's one is half price I'll pay the postage and get that. Mind you $10 postage = $30.. $40 for a nissan one.. HMM

well. truth be told i will pay the lowest price for the good that works. if it doesn't work ill pay more till i get the cheapest one that will.. .. i just dont like overpaying.. and $40 for a freakin boot seems exxy.

Guess I'll have to get it then..

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
