Gaskets - where to buy etc

[Al Mac]

Chaps,

New turbo will be going on the car in the next couple of weeks hopefully (standard T28 affair) - can anyone recommend a good source for a gasket set (or where to get them individually if the kit's not available)?

So far as I can see I'll need the following:

Oil Drain gasket
Exhaust Housing gasket (between exhaust housing and elbow)
I/Cooler --> turbo gasket
Maybe turbo --> manifold gasket?

Anything I've missed? Cometic ones would be preferred I guess.

All help much appreciated

Get them all from nissan, but get an s14 manifold gasket as they are multi layer and can be re-used.

You disrespecting my manifold gasket lol?

yup!

why pay that when you can get the multi-layer nissan one for£24 , iv just done this myself, and you might aswell change all the studs and nuts ,so you dont snap the old ones like i did to one, then have to take it all back off again

i got the studs and nuts from my local motot factors , the studs were 95p each the nuts 25p

That would be a big YES :lol: :lol: lets hope it does not fall apart

So it seems the proper Nissan ones are the best bet then...

I don't suppose anyone's got the part numbers to hand, or at least a definitive list of what I need to make sure I haven't missed anything?

Muchachas Gracias :-D

One more quick (and possibly stupid!!)Q - can the turbo be replaced without removing the exhaust manifold from the engine, or does the whole lot need to come off?

 

[shroom]

just be easier to take the manifold off, not sure if you can with it on but mounting it back will be a bitch if imposible to, thats from my experiance though, just be carefull with the head studs

 

[johnsy]

easier to take the lot off but be careful with the BASTARD BOLT , i rounded it off, ended up having to drill through the nut,

you'd be better off changing all the head studs if they have not been done before , i snapped one and could potentially been a disaster but it came out pretty easy with a bolts extractor ,
