I'm having trouble finding this part. I went to Nissan and they gave me gaskets they have holes for 2 bolts (VQ35DE), not 3 (VQ35HR). I called back again today and was told it's just a donut gasket.

Can anyone find this part number so that I can just end all confusion.

That's a picture of the gaskets I have, which is for the DE, not the HR.

 

nevermind... it is just a donut

20691-19U00 is the HR gasket.
20813-AL500 is the DE gasket.

 

Thanks

 

So I have a problem with my exhaust and I'm not sure what options I have.

To start.. I took the car into Nissan for recall, ever since I got it back I can hear an exhaust leak from the front section of the car, and I can feel rattling at my feet.

My mechanic (that originally installed my test pipes and cat-back) said that it looks like the flange on the test pipes looks like it's warped *possibly*. He thinks it could have been because of the heat, I think maybe something happened at Nissan... who knows, I just want it fixed. I'm not sure what else could cause this but when he took the test pipes off the crush gasket that Nissan gave me was only crushed half-way, meaning the pipes weren't flush. He said it's only the passenger's side that had a leak, but the driver's side also looks a little warped. The driver's side did not have a leak though.

He asked if there was another option for a gasket I told him I'm unsure. He said he can always do something custom to fix it, but I'm hoping for a solution that doesn't end up in welding the test pipes permanently. I would still like to be able to bolt up my OEM cats and pass inspection.

suggestions/opinions appreciated

Thanks
