Hey guys,

In the process of an engine conversion still that is coming along extremely slowly. Im now at the point where its time to put stuff back together and i would like to replace my header studs before i put them back on.

A few times ive needed nuts and bolts here an there, ive found a few at bunnings that i needed to put my engine stand together.

Couldnt find this question asked anywhere so ill raise it.

Where do you guys source your nuts and bolts. Nissan is obviously an expensive option. Would be good to hear a range of places.

Cheers

P.S to save making another topic, can anyone tell me the bolt sizes that are used to hold an rb20det gts4 sump on, or a staggy series 1 rb25det??? (they are the same sizes)

I've been looking but I've never found a place that offers a good range of automotive bolts.

I use coventry fastners for things like stainless cap screws and I have bought a lot of stainless M6 bolts from them for other things but they are just builders bolts.

I have bought a lot of bolts from Nissan though, the bolts are great they just cost a mint and take 7 days to get in from Japan.

I'd be keen to know if anyone else has had luck finding a good source of automotive bolts.

Where are you at?

I have found most city centres have at least one good bolt and engineering supplies shop...In Newcastle it is called Newcastle High Tensile...funny enough..

Anything for exhaust work such as studs, I go to places like GCG. +1 for goods brands such as ARP..Yes they sell expensive bolts but its more about getting what you paid for...I have been to XXX (name omitted by author due to libel risk) automotive stores before and bought their high tensile bolts only to have them strip or break which is a pain in the arse and wastes a shitload of time.. Also I have never seen any decent automotive bolts in hardware stores either..

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
