Hi guys,

well my little enoing tick, turned out to be a manifold gasket. I think, two studs were loose. Did these up and tick is better but still there once hot. I have checked everything else, and all apears to be well, not bearing or anythign of that nature.

SO where is the best place to get new studs and gaskets for a good price.

While i am at it, anyone have a low mount manifold to suit stock turbo in the stock position???

Thanks.

I got gaskets and studs for mine from Motor's Nissan.

Yeah i normally go through NISSAN as well. It is a little more expensive but it saves waiting really and having to deal with customs if bought from the US :)

Surely u know someone that can get it wholesale old kid???

Well i rang and no good, looks like my mate is no longer there.

SO GMB, work your magic, i need.

Manifold gasket * 1

turbo to manifold * 1

turbo to dump * 1

watter gaskets for turbo

new copper washers for oil feed lines.

TAAAAA

yeah i mean the little water one for the turbo and so forth.

Thanks mate

"extreme turbo manifolds" Do you have any of the gaskets available. Also where are you located, i'm in tas, so need freight atherwise.

nah no gaskets sorry man, i just thought id let you know i can get you the studs if you cant anywhere locally at a decent price.

im in wollongong nsw

for the turbo gaskets just make your own, that's what I am going to do.

Bought 700mm x 110mm sheet of gasket material and will use clear film to trace the shapes, cut to shape and transpose onto the gasket material. Wouldn't do that with the exhaust manifold gasket tho, nissan genuine...

Dont use anything but a genuine manifold gasket, they are fairly expensive but are worth it in the long run. Go to your local exhaust shop, they usually keep a range of studs and nuts. You will have fun drilling the old studs out too.

definately gotta say go genuine nissan. I have both genuine and aftermarket and the genuine is definately much better!

why save money when you'll probably be changing it again in 6 months time :laugh:

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
