Does anyone know which year Nissan/Infiniti switched over to the metal composite gasket from the paper gasket? Also, if anyone has experienced this issue, do you guys mind telling me which year you have? This is something I would like to avoid if i can so your input would be very helpful. Thanks
You mean front timing cover oil gallery gasket. They switched in 13/14.

2012+ models have the new metal gaskets. which help prevent the oil gasket blowouts, but some can still have issue with the OEM fasteners backing out over time. This happened to me and can be found here:
