  1. I have checked straigtness of the manifold, It is ok.

    The Gaskets I have bought from NISMO are some sort of paper construction. They became hot and brittle. after removing they crumbled in my hand. This process started when I need to change my head gasket over the winter. The manifold gasket I removed was more of a graphite with metal layers, but I do not know who made it, that is why I thought I'll just get one from NISMO can't go wrong. WRONG! So now with manifold off for the 3rd time I really wanna find a gasket that will work. I contacted SCE gaskets they recommended making me a graphite gasket but wanted $300.00 to draw it. Fel-Pro seems to make a gasket that is getting mixed reviews. Does anyone else have a suggestion. If so include where to get. Also I have a P90 head with square exhaust ports.

    THANKS

  2. I have a 1973 240Z with a L28 Turbo motor running 13Lb’s boost. Over the winter I had to replace the head gasket. Since then I have gone trough 2 OEM NISMO exhaust manifold gaskets (PN# 99996-N1044). My torques are correct the only difference is I had the manifold Jet Hott coated. I am thinking about going to a copper gasket for round 3 and removing the coating from the mounting flange. Does anyone know where I can get a copper gasket for my P90 head it has the square exhaust ports. I would appreciate any opinions or information on this situation. I am in Columbus, OH and it sucks when your Hot Rod is down in the summer……..Thanks -Don

  3. Hi

    Does anyone know if someone makes a sleeve that will slide over my crank? I need to repair the grooves my rear main seal cut into the crank, before I install the new seal. I have an L28ET motor out of a 1982 280zx. If so where to get and part #’s always helpful. Thanks!!!

  4. Ok

    Lots of good feedback thanks..

    I have decided to go with an HKS gasket and ARP bolts.

    I called HKS today only to find out they are not making that gasket anymore. :icon_frow I also called Cometic they have never made a Head gasket for the L28 Motor. :icon_frow

    So does anyone know where to get a NEW HKS head gasket for a 1982 Turbo car??? Also while I had an HKS tech. on the phone I asked about reusing there metal gasket. He said people do but they do not condone or recommend it.....
