Default Differential gasket???

Here's my setup: Nismo R-Tune LSD, Nismo Finned LSD Cover

So when I seal up the cover, do I seriously just use gasket maker? I've used RED RTV on past differentials on my 240sx's, and they all eventually leaked.

Any suggestions?

Genuine gasket maker?

... Try copper RTV.. Its supposed to handle over 700 degrees of heat and is oil resistant..

grey RTV is fine. I usually use the copper stuff on hot exhaust parts...but copper would work fine too on the diff. We havent had a cover leak yet...so you should be good.
