Intake Gaskets And Ur Opinions

[skylinekid]

Just curious to see wat other ppl out there use for there intake gasket side of things etc eg standard or tomei metals and whether u use any type of goop to seal better etc.

I used standard gasket on mine and have had a few issues with them leaking just curious to see wat other ppl have done

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

$80 for nismo ones you cant go wrong

[skylinekid]

ahh yes nismo didnt even think of them lol

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.
