apex or nissan themselves.. make sure you get some locking tabs.

gaskets definately get nissan.

as for nuts, get the locking tabs or a quality locking system like nordlock washers / snep DAH nuts

I constantly had this problem on the s14. Used genuine gaskets, aftermarket gaskets, locking tabs everything really but kept happening bout 5 times in a year and a half.

In the end my mechanic recommended just welding the two together. Since its been done just under a year its been perfectly fine no more trouble.
The weld isn't big and gruesome its enough to hold the two together but can still be cut apart incase a turbo or manifold ever needs changing.

where can you get the locking tabs?

Conceptua tuning on ebay. They have geniune nissan parts at a fraction of the cost. I got one of these gaskets from them and it has been fine. No problems at all!!

Im in the same boat (with a japspeed stainless mani) but I reckon I'll be changing both turbo and manifold if anything ever goes tits up!
