Nissan's have the attendency of not liking after market head gasket's. any local car parts store should have them. my opinion is to stay genuine

also make sure you get the correct size, there are 3 diff thicknesses, you will find which one you need by the number stamped on the face of the block becide each cylinder, if your turbo'd your best off getting size 3 regardless
