Head gasket

Has anybody put a thicker head gasket to lower the compression when going FI so you could run higher PSI

I'm going to try and be as nice as possible...

There is NO FI readily available for the VQ35HR motor. So NO, that has never been done.

Before going any further, please read this.

EDIT: Even when FI is released for the HR, that's not gonna be a worthwhile idea, du to the amount of work that's gonna be involved. Plus, lowering the compression won't do anything to get around the fact that you can still blow the engine because it's not built for FI. In other words, I would HIGHLY advise against it.
