Need help sourcing R34 ex. manifold - turbo gasket

[Envisage]

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone knows where I could find a gasket for my R34 from the exhaust manifold to the turbo housing, I seem to have blown it to bits and its leaking quite a fair bit. I was running an atmo bov, so the ECU assumed the air was comming to mix with the extra fuel and it never arrived as it does with my atmo/ecu setup *not sure if it happens on all cars*. In turn caused some serious backfiring and vwalla kissed my gasket goodbye.

So if anyone knows where I could find a gasket for this it would be a great help, whether or not autopro, autobarn carry them I have no idea, or even if that skyline workshop out in mitchell still exists I dont know.

and am I looking for a T3 flange gasket?

All help will be appreciated...

Thankyou

maybe try Nissan genuine spares, could be quite expensive though, as you said you could try autopro, see what that turns up, if all else fails, and you dont mind getting pretty dirty, get some gasket paper and gasket goo from autopro and make your own gasket

/me shudders. dont touch the gasket goo!!!!

I didnt really want to go near a Nissan dealer/parts section as it will be one way over priced part and I can expect them to take about 4 weeks to get me the gasket...

But thanks for your quick reply..

Nar I dont think gasket glue is the best thing in the world, unless one is sticking say a small furry cat to say a fence or something...

Im going to give GCG and Cooma Diesel a go, so I will let you know how that works out.....

Nissan spare parts for a genuine one (theyre prices have actually gotten pretty good for stuff lately) or trace the gasket pattern onto a piece of paper and most exhaust shops should have it or should be able to make you one. Use it and a combo of gasket goo to make sure it doesnt leak.

If you do manage to find one could you please let me know? Mine has a small leak and will need replacing soon too. Blast those backfires!

Well. all went well with the gasket replacement I searched high and low for a gasket with lots of people saying they didnt have any. Nissan spare parts didnt have any but could get me a new one overnight for $45. the only other place that had one was Evo and they had new ones that I could pick up that day for $55 so I said fine...... When I arrived... apparently they had been all sold and he didnt have any left in the short amount of time it took me to drive from gordon to fishwick.. so after the yelling finnished some nice guy took me out the back and said I could have a stock RB25DET Gasket of a R33 for $10.. I had a look at the gasket and it seemed perfect.. he even gave me the bolts and restrictor clips for free.. so $10 and 8 hours later my new gasket is in place.. and my god I works like a charm....

Thankyou for all your help..

Hope I don't have to go through the same hassle.

Good to hear you got one so cheap though.
