throttle body gasket ??

Evening all !Going to next week replace the throttle body for a overhauled one so no more holding back through the revs :doh: simply is there a gasket id imagine there is that needs do be replaced to sit under the TB ?? Also fitting a flowed manifold at same time so is there a one stop shop on line for both manifold and TB ie MSC ??? thanks for all advice (Y)

Yeah theres a gasket from intake manifold to throttle body. Its about £8 + VAT from Nissan for a new one.
 
If you have the old one and it isnt torn use it as it is.
If you cant get one from Nissan, many old school motor factors still sell sheets of gasket paper to make your own.

Best not to use silicone sealant as it can be sucked in/dry out and crack/block stuff up.

Everything is ok in moderation but we have saw quite a few cars over the years ruined because someones applied silicone like they were icing a cake! :laugh:
 
I took my TB off today and re-used the same gasket. Just gave it a little clean and used some hylomar blue gasket sealant
