I bought my s2 R33 a year or so ago and it didnt come with a spare tyre bolt thing to hold the space saver in the boot.

Every time I go over a bump the space save likes to move around and make noise.

Where can I get the bold to secure my spare tyre and how much will i expect to pay?

Yeah a hardware store is a bitch. It's not like we can reverse our cars into the store and mix and match bolt lengths and threads to get the right one. Also I think you need some sort of metal plate for the bolt to sit on if it's like other cars I've seen.

Maybe try www.findapart.com.au. I'll send them a request too I think.

Yeah will do, I'll ask if they have 2 if/when they reply. I think I might have tried the above URL before with no success, just can't remember if I did it after I got the car. I've used it before with mixed results for other car and motorcycle parts.

I rang up Col Crawford (located on the northern beaches) and they said they can order them in from Japan. It will cost $16 and must be payed up front.

I'll go and order mine tommorow.

The guy also said its the same part as that on a s15.

Jimx: i'll PM you about this.

A wrecker replied to my Findapart request and said he had them for $20, so I replied and asked him to COD one to me. But he hasn't replied in over a week so I guess it's not coming. Oh well, his loss and my gain if I can get one new for $16 :D

Get out a ruler.. measure the bolt diameter, and bolt height, and find an appropriate washer to hold it all down.. its not that hard! Will cost you $3 max via that method.

But if its same as from an S15.. just go to Nissan directly.. they'll have one in stock.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
