Orientation Nismo Gaskets

Ragun · 04-20-2021, 04:33 AM

Hello Guys,

I have bought a new Nismo Gaskets, I have removed the old ones but I don't remeber the position now.

Can you tell me the correct orientation?

I have read the installation manual but it does not say anything about the orientation

Thanks a lot for the help

Not sure what you mean? There is no orientation. Right side up or flipped over makes no difference since both mating flange surfaces are the same.

It doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter.

I mean the border of the bolt holes is different in each surface.

Does it still matter?

If I install it on surface A or surface B

Both of the exhaust flanges are flat faced. So then it doesn't matter what side goes where.

Hello guys, after a couple of days with the new gaskets I am seeing that I have water leaks.

This is normal?

Could it be because of the gaskets?
