forget the names. just take stuff apart and find the shape that matches when you put it back together. that sounds dumb but if you bought a "complete" gasket kit then you should have all the gaskets you need. and yes, i have actually used most of those gaskets in my rebuild so i am not a complete twit. haha.

to be constructive, i want to say #1 is for the pcv system but don't hold me to that. #9 i believe is the oil drain plug crush washer.

Isn't #9 the copper washer for the oil drain plug?

^^ yep, you can get the from the Nissan dealers... That's what i use for my GReddy oil pan along with SARD drain plug. I've always had issues with the other washers, ie minor leaks.

Hey smart guy, I actually bought an engine with a blown headgasket and was replacing it. Simple enough. I could have replaced the headgasket alone, but it was pretty much the same price to buy a gasket kit as it was to buy just a headgasket. Figured I might as well replace other gaskets while I'm at it since they came with the kit, but don't want to pull things off the engine if I don't have the gasket for it since I'd have to go to Nissan and wait forever for whatever I ended up pulling off. Don't quite see where the ridiculousness of my thread is?:fawk:
