What is the best choice when it comes to gaskets for our VE's.

 

Dealership for most of them.

make sure to double check they are the correct gaskets and have them IN YOUR HAND before you remove the current gaskets.

Sometimes, it takes a few days for them to get the gaskets. Other times, even though you tell them it is for the VE30DE, they will try to give you VG30E gaskets. When you order them, you might want to tell them s l o w l y what engine they are for.

 

whenever i go to the dealer (not that I have a VE, but still..) I like to look the diagram up on Courtesy Nissan's site, print the appropriate page, and circle the part on the page. That way nothing can be confused.

 

+1, You almost have to with a VE

 

like this cool parts dude (never given me trouble in the past) Paul at my local dealer, i went up for a clutch pedal assist spring bushing, and he looked at me and said "a what? where the.... huh? you mean the spring on the shifter? or shifter bushings?". that's the only time i've ever stumped him though. so anyone in Raleigh NC can just ask for paul (or refer to him as the "guy that's depressed about the JDM Versa not making it to the USDM")

 

Dunno, I've never had issues with getting the right VE gaskets

 

nothing worse than tearing apart your VE only to find out no one has a gasket for you....or they THINK they do, but it only proves to be a VG gasket.

 

No one has had any aftermarket gasket kits, if they even offer them. I would perfer to buy a full or headset gasket kit if i can find the right brand for the right price.

 

that is not correct.
There are aftermarket companies that do make them, however Fel-Pro does not.
