the outside taper.. the normal ones get bigger going down... and the inverted ones are like they have been... well.. inverted :P the taper starts off bigger and then tapers inwards.. say for recessing into a hole or something similar

  • 2 weeks later...

turns out they were 12G cup washers, with 6mmx1mm allen key tapered bolts - stainless

i got 50 of each for $28

i have a feeling the ones in the original post were alloy and annodised plus more angled sides than what i got, i'll get some pics later as i just finished changing them over.

haha not quite as flashiny as the oringal pic in teh first post, but it is much neater..

damn nissan and non colour coded engine bays haha, but in somthing that is colour coded it would stand out more.

I've been 'detailing' my engine bay bit by bit over the last 7-8yrs, and if you want to pay a few extra dollars to use coloured anodised countersunk style washers, then the best option for ordering them in bulk quanities is to contact your local go-kart retailers.

Anodised washers are commonplace on most go-karts. They usually have red, blue, silver, gold and a few other colours in stock at most go-kart stores. A little bit of research and you can usually find the supplier to the go-kart store.

They aren't cheap though, expect to pay a lot to get enough to do a whole car... like I have :)

You should be able make out the red anodised washers and stainless fasteners I've used throughout my R33 - I've used them on almost every area of the engine bay, bonnet, boot, exterior... sideskirts etc.

im in the process of detailing my engine bay. now i want to get the cup washers and hex bolts to suit...

just wondering if this is all i need to tell the guys at the bolt shop.. "12G cup washers, with 6mmx1mm allen key tapered bolts - stainless"

are these the size bolts for the quater panels, and the other bolts on the radiator support? are they all one size?

thanks

    • 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.
