Ok I picked up a gasket from an 05' 350z and it looks fairly promising the shape and size of the holes are virtually identical to our cars. The difference as we pretty much knew was in the spacing between each port. in order to best determine the spacing I centered the two center holes which line up nicely and measured the variance on the outer holes. Each outer hole on the 350z is a hair over 1/2" wider than the Legends gasket. So I am thinking this could be worth a shot. At the price these are available for it would cost more than that just to buy the material for a custom set to be made not including labor, and even better I will not have to hack up my OBX headers. One thing I do need to consider though is the amount of stress that 1/2 would cause. I think it would be best to heat them up and correct the variance. here's the pics.
