ok so my friend is willing to basically give me a gtr turbo, t28/t3 hybrid. i know its not the best turbo but it would do what i want. anyways i know i have to clock it thats no prob, but the compressor side is the t3 and it wont clear the manifold (stock) so i figure i need a spacer. my question is what to i use? a bunch of gasket?? (if so where can i get those cheap) or should i buy a t28/t28 flange and use 2 gaskets? will this mess up my exhuast alignment?

determine fist if you move the turbo out enough to clear the manifold it does not bang into the strut tower. If it clears then get a T2 weld flange and two gaskets.

you had better double check the exhaust side of that turbo. I think the GTR turbo's use a 4 bolt exhaust flange like the Z32's.

A gtr turbo will not physically bolt on to a stock manifold... both flanges are studded.
