Hey guys,

So i've got my dr. drift chip on the way and i've picked up my bosch 040 and rb25 turbo... so i'm getting everything together to do the install onto my r32 soon.

What gaskets am i gonna need? I'm certain i'll need the manifold -> turbo gasket, the dump pipe is about a year old so i don't know if i'll need a new one or not. What else? Do the oil and water lines need gaskets aswell? Where is the best place to pick up a set in the western sydney area?

Thanks

water lines don't have gaskets, just don't loose the brass washers when you pull the old turbo off. oil feed doesn't need a gasket, it has brass washers aswell but the oil drain does need one. when i did mine i just used some gasket card from work. should be able to get some of this from an engineering supply shop, eg BSC.

as for the steel compression gaskets you should be able to get them from a few places, i've got them from autobahn before. some exhaust shops may have them as will most turbo/performance shops.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
