Some help need for putting the turbo back

[chituntang]

I posted a while ago thinking my turbo was done, but when I go ahead and remove the turbo and read some article online about turbo removal, I found out that it is just my blown turbo gasket. I took the lines off, clean the area where the gaskets goes, but run into some problems before I can put it back.

Am I suppose to use crush washers on all the banjo connections? I took all the bolts off that is related to the coolant and oil feed drain lines. The crush washers from Nissan works for the oil feed line, but now the coolant lines...

If I have to use crush washers on the coolant lines, where can I find them? I went to Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA, Ace Hardware, Home Depot... And they all do not have it...

Thanks

yes you use crush washers on all banjo bolt fittings they will be the same size as the 300ZX TT ones

what and where do I ask for such parts?

I went online and check, and the washer some sellers have is just some cooper washers. So.....

2 dollars for each...
Such a rip off. I can get crush washers for free at the dealership for free, only in smaller size...

I recommend getting braided stanalone lines without banjo bolts. The block is easy to strip with the stock hardlines because you're limited by how much you can move the line.

I have such a bitch of a time finding crush washers, and I don't know why. Not at Taylor's, not at Home Depot, and the only ones at Advanced are too large. What the hell.

McMasterr should have enough copper washers to make your head spin...just have to know your requirements as far as dimensions. Bad thing is you typically have to order by a small bulk quantity.

:werd: You'll wanna punch yourself in the face until you black out if you strip the Blocks Oil feed.

Get braided lines they make things sooooooo much easier

I love the visuals I get with responses like these...they are so true!!!!

Kind of the same feeling you get if you drop a black rubber valve cover washer into the head and it vanishes.
