Nissan locking tabs? Don't stock nomore. What eles?

[jimlad5]

Rang Nissan garage up they said they don't stock locking tabs nomore for the mani to turbo. What other ways you guys bolt it up and without it rattling back undone?

Ebay is your friend, I would search "T2 turbo locking tabs" or something like that

You can also use locking nuts.

Personally I used Nordlock anti-vibration washers to help.

Depending on how expensive your manifold is, have you considered welding the f***ers together?

Finally, one thing from experience is to ensure that both mating surfaces are truely flat. If they are slightly warped, you will struggle to find a way of not blowing gaskets (unless you go down the route of welding)

Hope that helps

I made my own stronger ones out of 1.5mm steel.

I searched that on ebay had no luck finding anything. It's looking like spring loaded washers and maybe just tack weld each nut ��

Just make them.

The stock ones are rubbish it will less than 20 minutes to make and they will never come undone again.

Tac weld them, works a treat, done it to two cars now and two years on still going strong, if you ever have to remove them decent chizzle will break the tac off

my local nut and bolt shop does turbo nuts, very rare they get them in so i purchased a whole box of them when they last had them, had them on car since turbo swap about 4 or 5 months ago, no problems, not had to re tighten them
