i got a really bad leak at the turbo manifold and i cantbuild boost for crap. i checked the crossover parts list andtook the part number for the gasket to Advance Auto and some other placesand they could find anything under that number(14036-D4201).

Can some one give me the right part number for the square gasket that goes in between the exhaust mani and the exhaust tubine? thanks

Alot of auto parts stores don't carry that gasket... I also tried ordering it from Advance Auto and they looked at me funny when I said I needed a turbo to manifold gasket.

However if you go to a Nissan Dealer, they can order the part for you. Ask for the turbo to manifold gasket from a 1991-1996 z32 300zx Twin Turbo. It is a metal gasket and should run you somewhere in the $20 range.

As NeedCAforS13 said, 1990-1996 Nissan 300zx Z32 twin turbo use the same gasket.Part number 14415-17M00I have used it many times on few turbos.

Good luck,PULSAR GTRRafi

yes. Its a pain, but it can be done... I've also pulled the head to change a headgasket, and pulled the head, oil pan, and pistons to fix a cracked DE piston There's very little that can't be done with the motor in the engine bay!
