Where can I find some for the 95^ motors cause I've only seen them listed for the 91-94's

I went to ka24de and they only have them listed for the 91-94. So what your sayin is that I can use them right? thanks now where can I find metal head gaskets? I also heard that stock gaskets can hold up to 25 psi of boost is that true?

go to your local nissan dealer to get a stock one or get a fel-pro through your local auto parts store or get a 1mm metal headgasket through cometic for like $78.

I went through 3 Nissan headgaskets and one felpro in 2 months.... however my head was warped so that didn't help. Running a cometic HP now, all has been good for 1000 miles.

i don't know of any type of head gasket that would last long with a warped cylinder head.

Stock will work unless your going for big numbers. Until your running 20 psi daily, I wouldn't worry about the HG much.

It a style of wing. It sits close to the trunk so there is no gap between the bottom of the wing and the trunk lid surface. That's a vauge example but that's the idea.
