when i got my Q45 throttle body, it didnt come with a gasket. would it be ok to make one out of those gasket sheets? i have one of those black gasket sheets where one side is like a sticker. or should i order one? ordering one would be a lil hasle since shipping up here sucks/takes long and we have no infiniti dealership here.

Just make one.
Trace it out using the Tb and you should be fine.

Shipping to Alaska will take forever!!

RTV = dont do!

I got a 5x5 sticky on gasket sheet and traced my q45 oout, was easy as pie. do it

you can get gasket paper at autozone or discount auto parts if you want. its like 5 or 6 bucks.
