The best ones are the genuine Nissan items.

I have a set...2...supplied to me at $25each ...Did not use them cause the mechanic said they would not last.

Ring up Nissan...or get a mechanic to buy them for you...this is the cheapest way.

Hope I have been of some help.

yer i have 2 of these dump pipe gaskets, and i will not use them, they are the same sort of material used on exhaust gaskets.

and i no the pains of replacing gaskets cost $1100 to get them fitted last time

i did mine over a week ever few hours a night. got it down to the last turbo in 3 hours and rounded a nut lol good old chisel and hammer to spin the nut lol.

ill replace them all for 600 hows that..

Honestly, with gaskets, go genuine nissan. If you don't, you'll be banging your head against a brick wall thinking why did I save those few bucks.

Many $$ later, or many skinned knuckles later, you will have done the job twice when it should have been done right the first time.

Those aftermarket gaskets are shit. They're thin foil with some goo sandwitched between. They can be blown out and don't last.

the genuine nissan gaskets are a solid metal like copper or something.

yer there the gaskets im after i was just curious if anyone knew where i could get a complete turbo gasket kit

[made_guy]

ring your local nissan dealer if you haven't already. i got quote $36 tho...

umm. kk.

best way to do it is not touch the water lines on the turbos. just the pipe fittings at the rear.big bango in the middle and the oil/water bangos on the comp cover brackets.

and loosen all the ones on the block. the front and rear turbos come off the manifolds at the same time. ps.. nice good quality open end stubby spanners is needed.

should take 4-5 hours iff all gos to plan drive in/out
