2871 install, gasket questions

[WA_Sileighty]

Hoping to start tearing my car down tomorrow. My redtop is getting a 2871, greddy o2 extension, apexi suction kit, and i am going to be using the adaptor plates for it as well. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out my gasket replacement situation. I know the manifold to engine side i can use one from a 01 se-r, and the manifold to turbo can be from a z32. I am wondering however about the turbo to the greddy o2 extension, is the 5 bolt gasket that should go between the two the same as a z32 also, or is it larger? the adaptor plates are just slabs of alluminum basicly but dont have any gaskets with them, what works best here? any help would be great, i searched around but couldnt find a diffinative answer.

the 5 bolt is from the z32 - works for t25/28 setups

As for the adapter plates - I think having metal to metal is going to leave you with a boost leak - maybe using some kinda gasket maker would work if ur kit didnt come with gaskets

yea, i was told that even a silicone would be fine there, may try that. thanks for the info on the 5 bolt, i figured it would work the same

I was thinking more along the lines of the paper gaskets but w.e. works for you - goodluck

NO SILICONE. I don't care what some companies say you can use. If it were so great, Nissan would of used it from the factory. Do it right the first time, so you don't end up doing it a second time because of sloppy work.

Paper gaskets will not work with exhaust (nothing you can buy on a roll at an auto parts store.) OEM metal or bust when it comes to turbo gaskets.

I was referring to the gaskets for the turbo adapters to the hotpipe im guessin - but yeah metal gaskets ftw for exhaust no questions

Just go with oem nissan gaskets.

You can find the intake gaskets on their site as well. Superior nissan is also another good place for stock parts.

Also, I believe the greddy turbine outlet comes with the gasket between it and the turbo. It's a good one, use it. And I assume your downpipe came with the gasket between it and the turbine outlet, so that should already be good to go.

everything is off the car now, does anyone happen to know the part number for the gaskets that go between the cold pipe flange and the intake pipe flange on the turbo? it looks like the stock ones will work fine on the adaptor plates that reclock them but i obvioulsy need one on each side of said plate

I have this one that I will not be using:
