Chris`I Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Chaps (and Chapettes), As you know I have taken the plunge and bought Adrians Nismo exhaust. We were thinking that I should probably get some new gaskets for it. Are these things universal or what? Any traders got some? Ta Quote

Ta They are unfortunately not universal I am not a trader but I have a selection if New OEM exhaust gaskets so let me know what you require and be prepared as they are not cheap. Alex. Quote
Chris`I Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Doh We need whatever should be replaced when moving the exhaust from one car to the other. I'm keeping my OEM Y-pipe, so I would guess really I only need the gasket between the Y and mid pipe? Quote
dcash5 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Chris ... I have a spare one and weirdly will be at TGM when you are getting your car done as mine is in for a service then. Quote
Chris`I Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Chris ... I have a spare one and weirdly will be at TGM when you are getting your car done as mine is in for a service then. Good stuff. How do we know its the right one though? Adrian did say you'd be there on Saturday Quote
dcash5 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Well if it between centre section and Y pipe I have it, I also have the Y pipe ones aswell Quote
dcash5 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Doh - double post! - obviously the two smaller are for the Y to manifold, larger is for centre to Y Quote
Rob_Quads Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 From Nissan then rear olive ring and middle->Y section gasket are around £25 Quote
Chris`I Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Good man Dan. PM me how much you want for them so I can bring the cash Quote
Stew Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I changed every gasket when I did my exhaust. It wasn't cheap..... Quote
Chris`I Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Dont see why these things need to be soo expensive, but isnt that always the way Was looking to change out the HDD in my Foxsat HDR the other day and looking at the inside pics, there doesnt look to be £300 of kit in there, the box is about 2/3 empty!

Fletch Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Be careful cos the ring between the centre section and the backbox has a larger diameter on the nismo exhaust than the OEM one, the ring will be fine as they are a tight fit and are hardwearing, the gasket between the standard Y pipe and new centre section should be ok too, unless uve got a high milage car, if you can replace it then do, if you cant I wouldnt worry bout it. Fletch Quote
Chris`I Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Ta for the info Fletch. The car is pretty high mileage, at just above 62k, so I think a new Y to centre section gasket would be a good idea. Dan is doing me one for a tenna, so I'd rather replace it and be happy. Hopefully the Nismo centre section and back box connection will be fine and wont need any new bits Quote
Adriank Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Good te see you managed to sort it for a tenner mate! Lucky Dan is popping down aswell. Just got to make sure i get there before him now so mine gets done first Quote

Just got to make sure i get there before him now so mine gets done first Powers in the numbers! If both of us get there we can take both ramps and he'll have to wait Quote
Rob Gaskin Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I'm about to renew my ehaust with a low mileage S/H system. Phoned Nissan parts today and was quoted £50 for the 4 gaskets! Are there any aftermarket gaskets available, what would an exhaust dealer use - Nissan parts? Quote
marzman Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 its worth going to a third party motor factors if you can find one locally...? Im sure they'll do them for peanuts. Quote
Rob Gaskin Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 My local exhaust fitter has told me to take my gaskets to him and he'll try to match them. I'll keep you posted, it may be worth buying a few. Quote
