Are these reusable?

I will be removing mani,turbo and exhaust downpipe while I drill and tap the mani studs as I have a few just spinning and a one that will need to be drilled out. I will be taking the whole lot off the engine and taking the feed pipes off the block and keeping them attaché on the turbo side.

The copper crush washers should be replaced.
You might be lucky if you reuse them if you're desperate, but I'd use new ones at risk of causing an oil leak.

Thanks, Makes sense to do it as I will be replacing most gaskets and studs.

Are they generic or only available from Nissan?

Even though it's a bit late to answer. I'd imagine if you knew the sizes you'd be able to get them somewhere else. (we used copped crush washers on a 1940s aircraft in the RAF in the 80s, so they're not exactly rare)
