Gday all,

This is probably a real dumb question; but here goes anyway; as we work on our cars, replacing this and that, we generally need these things;

10mm bolts of varying lengths, associated nuts, and vacuum hoses and such.

Question is, where do we get these things? I've bought a pack of high-tensile 10mm bolts from supercheap, but there's got to be a place i can get them in more bulk (i.e. pack of 100 instead of 10 etc)

Where do you guys stock up on these things?

This is probably of no help but, here in Japan, the home improvement store by my house sells stainless hardware in packs of 50 or so, 10 and individually.

i replaced all my 10mm hex heads with M6x20 dome top stainless allen heads and washers. i dont think i have hardly an oem bolt/nut in my bay except what is directly attached to the motor itself.

honestly man, google is your friend in this situation.

just use the search "specialty hardware" or change hardware for fasteners. youll get a billion sites that have tons of anodized beauty washers for your fenders, radiator support, headlights ect. i just did it because i prefer using T-handles on things that are low torque anyway.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
