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.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
