Head gasket replacement???
I've looked around trying to see what every one else is using. I have a turbo maxima and my head gasket is bad, what is the best head gasket for a turbo maxima? I've upgraded my pistons, rods, and cams. I had a metal head gasket thinking it would hold guess I was wrong need something better.

any help will be appreciated...

its not only about the head gasket, its the head bolts you use! Get same gasket but get some heavy duty bolts. like L19

VQ30/35 gaskets are interchangeable so you will find a bunch for 350zs that you can use. You might have to mod the cooling passages but nothing big(although this might only be for the HR gaskets)
