Why do people continue to buy this ****? Did you not read all the problems others have had? If you did why would you waste the money?

ALL tubular manifolds have larger diameter ports than the head. It helps to fight reversion. They're like that on purpose. And which gaskets are you talking about? If you mean the head-->manifold gaskets, then no, the Z ones won't work. You're supposed to use the Pulsar gaskets. If you mean the mani to turbo gasket, then yes, the Z one does work. If you mean the turbo outlet gasket, then no, the Z doesn't work. There isn't a US equivalent in Nissan, and you'd be best off just ordering one from one of our supporters like Heavy Throttle.

You don't have too many choices unless you want to have one built, or wait for 3 months to get one from Rare Trick.

And just to reiderate, if you need the gaskets that go from the head to the exhaust mani, then you need to get plain ole flepro gaskets for an 88 Nissan Pulsar NX SE w/the CA18DE.

Copper seal is your friend when you cant find gaskets!

also im doing log manifolds for cheap right now since im broke. my tubular prices wont waiver much due to time involved in building them from scratch.

i am thinking about making some SS turbo to downpipe gaskets for the t25/t28/gt28RS/2871. i made them for t3/t4s and they sold like hot cakes.

What do you mean the ports were screwy? They didn't like up or they were too big? Like I said before, they're SUPPOSED to be bigger than the exhaust ports on the head. It helps to fight reversion.
