Turn off your caps lock dude.
I've read that nismo head gaskets are really good.

Yes, I agree. Payen is a good one.

If you are going to use moderate boost, use a genuine Nissan one or a Payen.
If you are going to go high boost, think about O-ringing the block or a copper head gasket.

nismo race series gasket and arp head kit is the way to go no doubt. only other good option is to o-ring block and copper which involves engine dismantle and machine work which could be costly

An engine reconditioner I deal with said that O-ringing is old school, and with modern head gaskets being a lot cleverer than in days of old, it wasn't something he'd recommend.

I've used monotorque head gaskets for years, they have been known to fail for time to time, but in my turbo motors i just use a repco head gasket with a shim plate, haven't had any problems so far, standard head bolts is all that you need, even with a shimm plate.

I strongly recommend use a good quality head gasket, saves alot of heart ache when all the hard work that goes into a turbo systems fails only due to a cheaper part( or any part for that matter) It is true what they say................ YOU GET WHAT PAY FOR!!!
