Default Orientation Nismo Gaskets

Hello Guys,

I have bought a new Nismo Gaskets, I have removed the old ones but I don't remeber the position now.

Can you tell me the correct orientation?

I have read the installation manual but it does not say anything about the orientation

Thanks a lot for the help

Not sure what you mean? There is no orientation. Right side up or flipped over makes no difference since both mating flange surfaces are the same.

I mean the border of the bolt holes is different in each surface.

Does it still matter?

If I install it on surface A or surface B

Both of the exhaust flanges are flat faced. So then it doesn't matter what side goes where.

Hello guys, after a couple of days with the new gaskets I am seeing that I have water leaks.

This is normal?

Could it be because of the gaskets?
