I've never bought any before, is it something you can buy from motor factors? or an exhaust fitters? or nissan only? I'm after 3 hole downpipe gaskets and also the two hole joining gaskets down the system.

 

I guess they are probably the same as other models? so should be easy to get hold of?

They are standard exhaust gaskets available from motor factors,kwik shit etc.

shit fit and most other garage I've been too, now use silicone sealant, ive also used it with good success for joining exhausts with out them blowing.

thanks jimmer... thats the sort of answer I was hoping for :)

seriously? silicon on the exhaust works ok?

I doubt the OEM items are that expensive......

 

....especially if you buy them from Mike at MJP!!

Yes bud, it drys quick as well, but all its for is sealing 2 bits together with no air leaks, same as what one of the gaskets does anyway. its also better than exhaust paste as it doesnt crumble

 

My current exhaust is sealed with it, though its slot into each other. but ive used it on many an exhaust, didn't even think about using it until i saw them doing it down national tyres where my friend works, i questioned him about it, and he said they stopped with the other gaskets and use only silicone sealant now, which i was surprised at, but its very effective thats for sure. just wipe any excess off once they are bolted together and enjoy leak free driving with no sooty marks from the joins.

might try that, cheers mate :thumbup:

it is lol, it only has to stop exhaust gases leaving the joins, its not to hold it together, it sets like rubber anyway and seals lovely :)

does it need to be a seacial high temp silicone?

 

I seen some silicone which is ok UPTO 250c. Not sure if thats enough? Tubbys can make stainless pretty hot lol

You can do, but ive never had a problem with just normal weather proof sealant.
