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

if you are running a turbo dont use anything other than genuine cos it wont last.

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
