I know that I'm pretty new around here, but bare with me. I'm looking to put together some tappet cover bolt kits which would include the following,

-20 Stainless Steel allen key button head bolts

-20 Rubber seals for the bolt

-20 Stainless steel washers.

I'm in the process of chasing up these parts with my supplier at the moment for my own car. I put together bolt kits for CBR250 for the fairings and screens. Now because I buy in bulk for my CBR kits it brings the price down a fair bit. I make a little money and I also sell them at a great price to CBR forum members.

To date I think i have sold about 50 or so bolt kits with no issues.

My questions are.

-Do the RB20,25 and 26 use the same bolts and the amount of them?

-How many people would be interested in kits? (more people keen, the cheaper it can become)

-What sort of price range would you guys be happy to pay for these kits? (considering that from what I have researched the rubber seals alone from nissan will set you back $30 for the 20 off them)

Here's a picture of what I had in mind.

Standard bolt compared to the original bolt.

Just an idea what it would look like fitted to the rubber seal.

A side profile and here you can see the difference in length of the bolt/shank and also the width of the shank.

I spoke to my supplier and I can't get a blot with a 7mm shank like the standard item.

The shank size on the stainless steel bolt shown is just over 8mm. That's why I would have to go with new washers/seals.

I'm looking for honest input and I will go ahead for bolts on my own car first. I know that these bolts are highly visible, but if your like me it's like the icing on the cake.

After viewing many engine bay pictures it just looks out of place with very beautiful detail/painted engine bays and crappy phillips head screws.

Looking forward to any feedback..

Paul.

hehe hey studricho,

I am the dude from cbr forums who did the carbon fibre fairings recently :thumbsup: i noticed you had a skyline by the rb in your sig...

I am going to have to hit you up for some bolts for the bike soon and the car aswell.

those bolts look good. and i am pretty sure all rb's are the same. (slightly different bolt position) but i used all the bolts from my rb20 when I did my rb30det conversion using an rb26 head.

as for price i am not sure...

can never tell how much bolts are going to cost.

cheers!

I wouldn't be fitting stainless bolts to the alloy heads, as the reaction between the two metals causes them to gall the threads

True. You can use some anit sieze to prevent this or I may be able to get zinc plated screws.

does anyone have the part number for the bolts that hold down the coil pack cover? and the 4 screws that hold the transistor unit onto the coil pack cover?

Good luck bruz! And when you find out, can you please tell me? I lost mine ages ago. Cable ties FTW!

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
