Hi

Just pulled off the manifold to turbo gasket and its doesn't look too good but I haven't seen too many of these gaskets before so please, you be the judge. Its the same on both sides.

I ask this because I paid a whole lot of coin to replace my manifold and turbo gaskets just 2 months ago and I'm just not convinced they changed it at all unless this is what they look like after a couple months......

Thanks!

I only use the car to get to work and thats only 10kms from home. I'll replace it for sure.

I just paid alot of money to get this replaced and it doesn't (by look of it) so it just really annoys me

thanks for the input!

The gaskets i pulled out of my gtr were much better looking than that and a lot older... Maybe a polite "please explain" to the mechanic, and if they get all defensive, dont go back.

Are you sure there was no miscommunication about which gaskets were to be replaced? Maybe they did the turbo to dump one?

Yep 100% years old.

I when i pulled my turbo/manifold gasket off my RB25/GT30 setup years ago, it still looked near new after 4k-5kms

That one looks utterly shagged, how can you get rust easily into an area that is sealed? :)

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
