Also, I'm thinking that it wasn't a Nissan headgasket. The builder ordered a gasket set that didn't have a Nissan logo anywhere.

Well, you don't HAVE to have new bolts installed. Many people say they are good for about 3 uses. However, this doesn't mean that it's a good idea to skip them. If you're going to the trouble to build the motor, might as well get new bolts/studs. I would confront them about this. Haven't you spent a LOT of money with these guys?
About the gasket. Felpro actually makes good stuff...but I'm not sure if it's the same quality as Nissan. I've been AMAZED at the quality of OEM head gaskets. I would stick to that.
Anyway, good luck Jeff.
