I think your gonna need to do this yourself (unless someone posts soon). Just tq them down good. If they stripped, make threads and put new bolts. You can do it, good luck :bigthumbu
 
Your biggest problem might be finding a gasket if you blew yours out (which probably happened if things are as loose as you say they are). I was in a similar boat once so we cut and welded a t3 gasket into a t2 gasket. Actually worked like a charm.
 
Im guessing bottom mount SR, right? I have a spare gasket you can take but u need to get me another later on.
Also do u have lock washers on them, or those stock nissan clips?
Go to discount and get some High temp Thread lock. Its a white tube. that helps but it doesn't last for ever. put the threadlock on, with the lock washers and just check the bolts every couple weeks.

Give me a call 305 773 5633, ill call u back from another number cause Im over my minutes.
 
Yea that happens alot, if the bolts that hold on the turbo dont have the factory lock retainers for the nuts. The nuts will loosening due to vibration, Like he said ^^^Any easy fix is to use lock washers and sealeant. :bigthumbu
 
well i now that Tom at bill sidles nissan in miami has a bunch of t2 gasket's in stock. if you want you can give him a call 305-635-5478 tell him anthony refferd you. :bigthumbu

hope it all works out for you
