Hey, I am about to put on an R34 turbo and due to past experences I am not going to reuse the gaskets.

I need the turbo to manifold and turbo to dump gaskets. Am I best off getting them from Nissan or is there somewhere better / cheaper?

Also, I am looking at replacing the brass washers too, is it the same deal with them? Nissan?

How much should I be expecting to pay for it all?

Thanks in advance!

Todd

Definately use genuine Nissan... I think around $30-$40 dollars was what I paid for mine (but don't quote me :D )... not sure what the brass washers were worth but they are definately worth replacing also.

If you're re'using your old manifold - make sure you check it hasn't warped... Neally fell into the trap of replacing the turbo and gasket without checking the manifold on my 180 and the machine shop advised me that there was nearly .8mm warpage across the surface!

use a straight edge.. but i think they were talking about manifold to head surface.. cant see 0.8 warp in the turbo flange on the manifold..

funny that the t3 flange for the inlet is more than the turbo/dump gasket..

I had a feeling it may have been head to manifold!

Ha ha, yeah I thought it myself that a smaller and more common gasket would be more expensive but I guess they are business hippies, they understand the concept of supply in demand! :)

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
