it will.... buy it, and that kinda sucks about Enjuku, cause usually those gaskets come as a SET, and not the individual ones..... and you could have gotten the gasket SET at any local parts store for like $25/$30 with all rings....

actually, the n/a sr gasket will not work, and neither will the spark plug tube seals.
the holes are bigger on the de-t for the coilpacks, and the gasket is just different.

and, oem parts like gaskets usually only come by themselves, not as a set.
honda, acura, nissan, lexus, toyota, pretty muchall do it this way.

also, enjuku sucks.
order the seals from courtesynissan.com or something. last time i ordered them from west covina nissan they were out of stock.

The vc gasket and the sparkplug/center stud gaskets are not the same...

Enjuku's only fault was not trying to add onto the sale by asking if you needed them...but you probably ordered them online soooooo...

Get the S14 one, it's one piece.

Come on people this is simple!
