I have a 90 240sx with the stock single slammer. There is a plate that bolts to the back of the throttle body..The egr is bolted to the other side of the plate. Does anyone know the part # for the gasket that goes between the plate and the intake?????? I have been to the Nissan dealer and looked at the fiche. It shows the gasket for the dual cam but just the small gasket that goes between the egr and the back of the plate for the sohc. This gasket would have a large round hole in the middle and three weirdly spaced holes around that. I can't use silicone because of the heat and a paper gasket would burn..This has to be a metal gasket. I could just eliminate the egr altogether but did not really want to do that. Discount auto doesn't list anything but the tiny gasket mentioned above. Any help greatly appreciated!!!

why not remove all that egr crap? buy the block off kit from egay or use a small amount of high temp rtv

Other than the block off kit, what else would I have to do if it blocked it all off? Will the car run different with it blocked off? i found out I also need the pipe that runs down the back because it's rusted through in one place. ($50 from dealer). Removing it is a better option considering that. Do you know a site offhand for the block off kit?
