Yup bought one just recently, about $14-17 from memory, I got mine from Unley Nissan, little cheaper than Main North

[Ryanrb25]

is unley nissan on unley rd?

[Hotwire]

Yup, just opposite the liquor shop (which I can't remember the name)

[Ryanrb25]

yup, it was leakin....$38 bucks from unley nissan.

hour to install...right as rain.

[salad]

I think there's a bit of your gasket missing...

Was $38 RRP or trade?

[Cubes]

Any one able to get me 2 at trade price?

[Ryanrb25]

not trade, coulda got trade if i worn my MTA overalls but cbf. price didnt bother me...had to be done..i was just glad i didnt have to buy the gasket kit...

Ive suspected my gasket may also be shot for a bit now, was it just giving off a slight ticking noise?

[Hotwire]

Whoops, my bad, I paid $34, not $17 LOL.. .just double.

^ But that's what mine looked like when I took it off the other month too, must be a 33 thing, blowing out 1/4 of the gasket

rush: Mine sounded like someone farting in a tin can with that much missing

Haha no worries man, i read other forums and its a common problem on 33z for the gaskets to go apparently, mine has a faint tick (mainly hear in carparks and next to buildings from under the car) dont know which gasket it is tho. Ive heard ppl saying about a gasket and stud kit, does anyone know what they are worth and would it be easy enough to do myself?

Sorry to jump in ur thread Ryan

I grabbed a pair of s/steel t3 gaskets from MTQ today. For literally next to nothing.

Should do the job. Nissan gaskets are nicer though.

We welded our turbo onto the manifold on the weekend......... But thats what you get when you have solid engine mounts in a race car!

[Ryanrb25]

no problem mate....i did have that slight ticking noise you speak of rushy. It eventually in around 5 minutes got louder and louder. eventually sounded like an external gate on full song...hehe. the dump pipe is also a common one to slightly leak and give off this ticking noise. I owned another rb25det before this one for 5 years.....never had this problem before and that motor wasn't treated with any respect.

Wasn't the nuts that rattled loose causing the gasket to blow out?
