Exhaust manifold & turbo gaskets. - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

I've just taken one of my old R32 GTRs back in as a part ex and it looks like the exhaust manifold gasket is blowing. It's got an aftermarket manifold and HKS turbos, what gaskets would you guys recommend? Should i go for standard Nissan gaskets or are there some better aftermarket types available?

If your doing it mate then get some uprated jobbies. I think the hks manifold gaskets are £60 + p&p.

Have fun by the way mate.

Cheers matey, i'll get my mechanic to change them as i gather they are not so nice a job! Do you know who will stock the HKS ones?

IIRC the Tomei are a far superior exhaust gasket just make sure you have cleaned the surfaces well, both by scraping and then cleaning with a die grinder + Roloc scotchbrite pad.
