Marko, don't be silly, just buy a new gasket and be done with it, call Nissan closest to you, they should have them in stock no worries or will be able to get them to you next day

I was under the impression nissan had to order from japan (3 week wait)? Ill give them a go first thing tomorrow morning :thumbsup:

I'm just getting kinda desperate... haha, out of the 6 places i called 4 are VERY reputable yet no gasket love :)

btw, the silicone i was reffering to is proper gasket seal type.. not Bunnings tile silicone lol.

Need help with something,

I got a dump pipe for my car, want to put it on asap however ive called a few tuning shops near my place and no one has brand new turbo dump pipe gaskets?? Should i worry about it or just use plenty of silicone and re-use my old one? Im thinking with my new engine build it only needs to be temporary for a few months till its ready to be swapped over anyways. Thoughts?

Btw, its the jjr cheapo one, was saving for an am performance one but this came up at the right price. Ill be using a gt30 with my rb25/30 anyways in a few months so ill get one made up by them when its all done.

Try places like D&T, ET exhausts, Aussie Discount and other exhaust shops mate

they generally have them in stock

good luck with it mate

any plans for it James? prelude engine conversion? chromies? i say whack on some stupid offset watanbe's.

Exactly my thoughts Damo, sused a set of 13x5.5 Watanbe's in QLD, bit sad when you say your upsizing rims to 13". Going to go black bonnet, clean the interior up, then see what conversions are viable. Chromies :thumbsup:

Yes its damn ugly, and yes shopping trolleys do handle better :)

Might have to hit Chef or JIS up to see what engines are available :)

on the subject of dumps, i just found the mandrel bend on my dump "crimped" and the flange pulled away from the exhaust housing at the top. turns out my car was so low for AJD the flange near the cat caught on a sewer cover in the middle of the road (like 5mm lip or something) when i was reversing out of my driveway, and pushed the dump forwards and down. it's a AM performance split dump too, not f**king happy.

My new daily. Let the laughs and flamage begin !

Daily Spec!

put a fake huge cannon slip on tip , on it

a massive wing , trolley handle ?

I too went to a few reputable workshops ... in the end I got mine over the counter (same day) at Unley Nissan.

get NOS!!!

buy a case of spray whipped cream and use the NOS propellant from them to get the daily fly'n, then use the whipped cream to hide the car, or some randy sexual fantasy...lol

or fill the airbags with it,,,, hit something and the whipped cream saves ya..lol

Now there's an idea Ruby! Only 100cc increase in capacity, still a honda engine, cant see that Regency would have a problem with that :(

Actually, its a Suzuki engine!

I could help you design and fab it up .. complete with ram air intake!!! I've had a hand in a project like this before :/

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
