re-doing my exhaust what else do I need?

[Huncity240]

So I bought this, http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAP...AX:IT, It is a full kit but is there anything else I will need when I change it over? I'm fully capable, have all the tools but just trying to be prepared since my car will be down for the weekend and will have to be ready by monday for work. so once I start ripping into it, i cant stop half way and have hold ups. thanks for any info

buy oem gaskets.

aftermarket ones are s***.

Do hope you have an SR, since I don't see it in a sig/info.

But looks like it is all there. And would go with OEM gaskets on anything around the turbo/manifold. Ones at testpipe/catback will probably be ok.

yeah I own a 180sx with a redtop. Gaskets are s***? personal exprience?

My aftermarket gaskets have held up perfectly for two years that came with my EBAY exhaust...

Almost everyone runs OEM gaskets on manifolds and turbos, the aftermarket ones leak one way or the other and usually pretty quickly. There may be some out there that are good, but no one usually trys them. Its just easier to use the OEM ones from the start instead of taking everything back apart.

[Huncity240]

ok, so i''l get the manifold,inlet and outlet gaskets. The rest should be ok, I dont imagine those being a problem. Any other issues I might come across? On a side note does anyone know where I can get an a-pillar triple gauge cluster for a 180sx. The 240sx ones wont work since they are on the left and not the right, I need a rhd one.

yeah, i had an apexi gasket fail in under a year on my catback.

Ebay will be the easiest bet for RHD gauge pods probably.

That or local places up there that are importing parts for the Japan cars yall are importing these days.

I didn't know any better than to use the gaskets that came with all my exhaust parts. Please buy OEM gaskets.

Be ready for some ill fitting parts. My eBay exhaust didn't fit perfect, I had it cut and turned into a one piece instead of two because it would vibrate on my subframe.

i'm not worried about that I had an ebay setup on my old 240 and it was fine.
