You'd be stoopid not to use a metal intake gasket set on a GTR. Any of the big name brands have good gaskets... HKS, Greddy Tomei etc.

I don't know. I've always found the factory Nissan stuff to be pretty good. Intake side is good from the factory and the exhaust side is great.

Not on GTR, its very common for the paper ones to leak , ive done about 4 this year already.

On gtst they are fine.

yeh never had any issues with my gtst only gtr style stuff. ive done the good ole block of the front of the turbo trick and put compressed air into the plenum via a vaccum port and the amount of leaks that i found just little tiny leaks nuthin substantial but still. had 3 leaks on plenum to head flange as i run a hypertune plenum and 1 leak down on driver side cooler pipe. am gonna do the intake gaskets but was just seeing wat you guys would suggest instead of the paper nissan gasket if you had any success etc

If you have the TB's off do the main one too, another 10 mins. If you have the budget use a phenolic gasket between head and manifold then Nismo gaskets on TB's. I have some nice logged AIT data from winton with and without the phenolic gaskets and the intake temp is appreciably less.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
