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 seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
