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:

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
