Yep perfect fit, they are slotted so there is no need to pull it all apart.

That would be like sticking a band aid over a cut without cleaning it first.
It's best to clean the inlet manifold as best you can, along with intercooler etc.
The cleaner, the better.

Okey Dokey Took the intercooler off last week to clean and it was dry as with no oil at all,
thinking not bad for 185,000K, I'll check the throttle body as well next weekend ,thanks

does the td42 have a egr valve,i cant see one on my old pig?

The early 4.2s had no EGR system, probably why they last so long lol
Cheers, the ferret.

mean,cheers ferret

Hey guys I have a 05 gu sts thinking of blocking the egr but not until I get gauges fitted where abouts is this other valve your taking about to drop boost if it spikes after the plate is put in?
And also when cleaning the intercooler hoses what else should be cleaned
Sorry new to a Nissan not much knowledge

Is this mod only applicable to turbo models or can it be done on naturally aspirated models as well? I have a TB42S running on dual fuel system (petrol/gas)

Common mod to all turbo diesel

So should it be done on naturally aspirated petrol/gas models or not?
