For a 2014, the gallery gasket is most certainly the fixed version and doesn't need changing but it wouldn't hurt to check it while the motor is out.

As for reliable power, the GTR limit for stock rods is 600 ft/lbs. Anything over and its guaranteed to not last long.

As for the 370Z, the rods have about a 20% decrease in width compared to the GTR so I wouldn't expect the stock rods to last a reasonable timeframe above 500 WTQ.

I would definitely do a filter cut and a compression test before doing anything though. The worst thing is having the motor go out right after you install everything.
