how about these ones?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200643935383

Also Stao you said the M10x1.25 would fit in your reply email, however people have confirmed it's M10x1.5 for the manfold to turbo studs

Didn't end up going with these then johnny? My studs keep warping and turbo keeps coming loose even with locknuts. Thinking about just shelling out for these things and see how they go.

Get Iconel ones. I think they are the strongest you can get (someone correct me if im wrong)

Yeah they are a 'heat-proof' metal. If someone can point me in the direction of a M10x1.5 60+mm Inconel stud I would be more than happy to buy them.

I purchased the MTQ 'GT30' stud kit but the studs are only 35mm (from memory) and are obviously way too short to use.

I think you will find that the 60mm length is your issue, not the material the studs are made of.

I assume you have two gaskets and a 20-30mm spacer? What gaskets are you running?

Yes it is definitely the length that is the issue. I'm just surprised that I'm having the issue when it really doesn't seem to be that common when plenty of people run GT30's on a standard manifold.

Yes I am running a steel spacer and 2x T3 gaskets I got from denco diesel. The gaskets are just your average run of the mill gaskets. The only reason it keeps doing gaskets is that the turbo comes loose, losing its seal and the gaskets will obviously blow out before the cast iron does.

I have a feeling it may be something to do with my exhaust though. It is a hack-together job and is only being held on by a single hangar and moves around a fair bit. Getting a proper exhaust made up in the next few weeks so having it hang properly will help alleviate the warped studs I should hope.

Actually I did got another set in 1.5 pitch, sorted out the manifold then discovered 3x snapped studs on the head and a stripped holepost-22311-13908202979883_thumb.jpg

Pics of the gaskets? Poop gaskets can deteriorate with heat and will therefore let the tension off the nuts.

Agreed, I always use OEM Nissan T3 gaskets.

Having so much weight hanging off a very hot manifold isn't a great idea, worse when there is no flex join in the front pipe, and the factory hanger at the box is missing...

I had same problem with my td06 20g on the std manifold. I found that goin to a thicker sort of crush turbo gasket helped a lot (think it was mls). The single, realy thin stainless gaskets are rubbish.

Also stubbled across this on facebook. They might sell 4 studs on their own for the turbo side.

Racetune Inconel Studs now available! Pictured here is an RB20 RB25 RB26 RB30 kit featuring Inconel studs with rolled threads and stainless steel lock nuts. Why pay close to $120 for genuine Nissan junk made out of mild steel and guaranteed to break?

Get some Inconel studs for $220 delivered Australia wide.

Inconel is the same material that turbo shafts and blades are made out of and are highly heat and corrosion resistance.

Are the studs that hold the turbo on the same size as the manifold studs?

Manifold studs are M10, and from memory the end that goes into the manifold is M12x1.5 and the end that connects to the turbocharger is M12x1.25.

With the dump pipe studs, if using a ATR43xx bolton turbocharger, the one above the internal gate flapper has to bekept short. or it might be fouling against the gate. Preferably just a 20mm bolt

Those threads are cut, not rolled

From what i've read rolled threads are much stronger (rolling work-hardens the surface of the steel)

But i guess if the studs get hot enough it'll anneal it anyway, undoing the work-hardening process

I'm going to be trying a ss1.5 in my 180sx in a few weeks

I already have it but need to instal and get it tune hoping for atleast 270-280kw bolt on style two bolt comp housing

Gcg are now making a kit for sr low mount std manifold gtx3071r but 4inch intake will need fabwork to fit and cooler piping abit pricey but $1700-1800

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
