I am looking for the part # for the 2 gaskets on the rear timing cover. I have searched and searched and can't find it. I have even called the part department at the nissan dealership and they are telling me that there is no paper gasket that goes there and to use there liquid gasket maker. But when I removed the both oil gallery cover's there is a paper gasket on each one. I am just trying to get my engine up in running and would appreciate all the help I can get please.... My 350z is a 2004 and has the vq35de engine.

Thanks for the help "mothafnbass" but that part # is for a 2006 350z and i did try ordering it a couple months ago and found that it does not fit. the oil gallery on the 2006 are a little different shaped then the 2004 vq35de . I did find out that you can not purchase neither of the oil gallery gaskets for the 2003-2005 vq35de . The only way you can get the oil gallery gaskets is you have to purchase a whole new rear timing cover, the gaskets are not sold separately. Basically what i did was go to Napa Auto parts and purchase a 6x10 oil residence gasket paper and cut out and made my own oil gallery gaskets and RTV them in to place and sealed it back up and it worked great.

Hey! I am experiencing an issue where I have low oil pressure at idle... I am pretty sure that this is the issue I am facing with my car as well. I am planning on doing what you did (since I cannot find the parts either...). How did that work out for you? Thanks!
