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:

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
