Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone knows where I could find a gasket for my R34 from the exhaust manifold to the turbo housing, I seem to have blown it to bits and its leaking quite a fair bit. I was running an atmo bov, so the ECU assumed the air was comming to mix with the extra fuel and it never arrived as it does with my atmo/ecu setup *not sure if it happens on all cars*. In turn caused some serious backfiring and vwalla kissed my gasket goodbye.

So if anyone knows where I could find a gasket for this it would be a great help, whether or not autopro, autobarn carry them I have no idea, or even if that skyline workshop out in mitchell still exists I dont know.

and am I looking for a T3 flange gasket?

All help will be appreciated...

Thankyou

maybe try Nissan genuine spares, could be quite expensive though, as you said you could try autopro, see what that turns up, if all else fails, and you dont mind getting pretty dirty, get some gasket paper and gasket goo from autopro and make your own gasket

Nissan spare parts for a genuine one (theyre prices have actually gotten pretty good for stuff lately) or trace the gasket pattern onto a piece of paper and most exhaust shops should have it or should be able to make you one. Use it and a combo of gasket goo to make sure it doesnt leak.

Well. all went well with the gasket replacement :rant: I searched high and low for a gasket with lots of people saying they didnt have any. Nissan spare parts didnt have any but could get me a new one overnight for $45. the only other place that had one was Evo and they had new ones that I could pick up that day for $55 so I said fine...... When I arrived... apparently they had been all sold and he didnt have any left in the short amount of time it took me to drive from gordon to fishwick.. so after the yelling finnished some nice guy took me out the back and said I could have a stock RB25DET Gasket of a R33 for $10.. I had a look at the gasket and it seemed perfect.. he even gave me the bolts and restrictor clips for free.. so $10 and 8 hours later my new gasket is in place.. and my god I works like a charm....

Thankyou for all your help..

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
