ill be getting new dump pipes so that should cover the gaskets for the dumps. if you know other places to get them for cheaper as a whole kit of everything i need (not necessarily brand name but quality stuff) let me know too! oh and i believe i also need new studs and bolts?

can anyone list me all the parts required (gaskets/bolts) i need (and where to get / price) to jus give the mechanics so they can do it all in one go?! as i dont wana muck around getting parts for this and that while waiting!

thanks!

Those gaskets you pictured do:

a) plenum to throttle bodies.

b) throttle bodies to head.

c) head to exhaust manifolds.

None or which should need to be changed for replacing the turbos.

b) Is actually inlet mannifold to head. There are 2 lots of 3 throttle body gaskets. One set for plenum and one set for inlet mannifold.

You will need to replace the head to mannifold gaskets if they break. These have to be unbolted during the job. If they dont break you can reuse them with some ultra blue. You can reuse the crush gaskets that join the dumps to the turbos a few times. Check them for leaks and perhaps use copper coat on them.

My apologies.

Deren's right there, just checked the service manual and it says to remove the exhaust manifolds when swapping turbos. Happily haven't had to do that yet.

Still, thats 2 out of the whole set. It would be better to only get what you need.

Hanyou, what you will possibly need are the Head to manifold gaskets (the 2 top ones) the manifold to turbo (not pictured) and the exhaust housiing to dump (not pictured). You can also get the dump to engine pipe but I use super copper gasket goo.

Go to GCG. I once bought all that lot from Nissan for $400..... :(

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
