Hey Guys,

I have an older Tial wastegate and I am trying to find the gasget that goes between it and the manifold. Now I have been told it should have a raised beveled edge on it to help seal it but have been unable to find one can anyone help??? A workshop has been looking but so far have been unsuccesful at locating one and can only offer purchasing a new one.

As the wastegate works fine and I really don't want to have to buy a new wastegate if I don't have to.

Cheers

Mushroom

were you after that metal ring that goes into the end of wastegate or and actual gasket? if its the gasket im thinking of you can buy them from autobarn. turbosmart make 38mm sized ones, not sure bout other sizes tho.

well it bolts on to the manifold which is flat and has 4 bolt holes, so I am thinking there is suppose to be a gasget that stis between them and has a raised beveled edge to help seal it . I will take some photos later this week to expalin more if it helps

does the wastegate have the seat area machined out ???

as you can see the samll ring that inserts into the flange area between the gate and the manifold .. is this the bit you are missing?

try to speak with tial USA and see if can get that part seperate from them. as that ring seals the valve to the sides so it doesnt leak

yeah, no chance of goo working there

either have a replacement machined up on a lathe

OR

buy a new one from tial USA - or try Slide as he got my tial from japan and might be able to get the individual part

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
