Im doign the same and have my list in front of me now. You will need x2 mannifold gaskets, x2 turbo to mannifold gaskets, x2 f/pipe to dump pipe gaskets, x1 f/pipe to cat gasket, x2 turbo intake gaskets, x2 turbo outlet gaskets, possibly dump pipe gaskets if you have removed the sump pipes off the turbo's? and also you may need the 2 gaskets on the turbos for the oil return lines.. There is a gasket the goes between the front turbo and the pipe that says 'twin turbo' but you will only need one of those size gaskets assuming you havent taken the little adapter piece off the front turbo outlet?

Hopefully i havent confused you too much! If you need anymore help i can describe thiongs in more detail...

2 x Head --> Manifold Gaskets

2 x Manifold --> Turbo Gaskets

2 x Turbo --> Dump Gaskets

2 x Dump --> Front Gaskets

You will also need the gaskets for the twin turbo pipe (there are three). What else... hmm.. Oil return gasket? Comp wheel gasket?

Make sure they change the manifold --> head (and preferably turbo --> dump) studs. Here are some of Nissan prices I got awhile ago (for an R32, but should be all the same I imagine):

Turbo -> Manifold Stud: 14411A :: 14064-05U01 ($13.24ea x 8 = $105.92)

Turbo -> Manifold Nut: 14432 :: 14432-P7600 :: 14432-0B700 ($7.85ea x 8 = $62.80)

Turbo -> Dump Stud: 14414M :: 14414-17F00 ($12.21ea x 10 = $122.10)

Turbo -> Dump Nut: 14432+A :: 14432-P7600 :: 14432-0B700 ($7.85ea x 10 = $78.50)

Dump -> Front Gasket: 20692M :: 20692-P9000 :: 20692-65J00 ($16.58ea x 2 $33.16)

Dump -> Front Stud: 14440A :: 14064-N4200 :: 14064-58Y00 (Unknown; have to come from Japan)

Dump -> Front Nut Fix: 20602 :: 20602-41G00 (Unknown; have to come from Japan)

Much better to use aftermarket :P

Edit: Oh, you'll also need the copper washers for the oil/water lines.

Is it really necessary to replace the studs?? I was not aware of this..

I'd do them all because you can, its cheap insurance, and I like thorougness :P

Realistically, the head studs should definately be replaced IMHO. They are subject to a lot of expansion and contraction, and its not unusual for them to crack. For the 30-something dollars it costs to replace them its a definite in my books

Turbo --> dump and turbo --> manifold are more iffy.

Tommyk: A bit more is coming back. You'll need two locking plates and check your manifolds for straightness.

Hey guys

 

Car is going in next week to get all the parts fitted.

Can anyone tell me what gaskets i need specifically? for the gtr replacement turbos?

Do i simply need the intake and exhaust gaskets or do i also need all the other ones listed in FAST?

 

 

 

Cheers

Tommy

What kind of turbos are you using ? Turbo kits usualy come with all the gaskets and studs needed . They dont usualy come with the manifold studs though .

The locking plates you can reuse if they havent been taken off to many times before .

It almost looks as though the gaskets are going to cost as much as the turbos themselves

Does anyone know where i can get aftermarket gaskets? Or should i just go genuine nissan?

Lucien, are you sure i will need to replace all those parts ? :)

I think im going to wait until the engine is out, and then replace the relevant gaskets/parts as i go

GCG will have the turbo --> manifold and compressor gaskets. The turbo --> dump and the "twin turbo" air intake gaskets you'll need to get from Nissan AFAIK. Manifold --> head gaskets are also Nissan, but quite cheap.

Studs you can buy anywhere and should be cheap: just take along one of each stud you need. The copper washers are a bit of a bitch to find. Locking plates are cheap if you do decide to replace them.

Once upon a time Nissan made a gasket kit for the turbos, but no longer :D

You're probably looking at $50 worth of studs, maybe $100-150 for the gaskets, and $50 for miscellaneous items (locking plates, washers, nuts, etc). The more annoying part is actually getting together everything you need.

There is a reason that HKS charge out the arse for their turbo kits and can get away with it: absolutely everything is included. Saving money means (usually) a loss of time.

Edit: Its times like this you will find that your NSW SAU club membership pays you back in spades. Don't forget to flash it at GCG and Crows Nest Nissan.

      Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.

      Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-

      Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
