Hi Guys,

Craved Coatings has done an awesome job with my cam covers but i want to use some decent Allen key style bolts or something to dress up the engine bay a little bit as the factory bolts look like crap, tried the old :google: and had no luck, there is companies offshore doing them but not the exact ones i am after... I downloaded this as an example -

These are the Cam Covers after Chris worked his magic -

Yeah true, was hoping for a lazy solution though as I don't know where one is and also work generally prevents me from looking Mon-Fri etc...

I need to get some of these as well... and I love going to the bolt shop... They may even have a replacement for the rubber grommets (something similar atleast), you never know...

I'll let you know how I go if ya want...

I'm replacing heaps of fasteners through my car with gear from this company..

http://www.pro-bolt.com/

Group buy on some bolts (Allen key style) in various colours? :)

Not sure if anywhere in Aus does colored bolts like this?

Some very nice gear there :)

Yeah the actual catalogue has some great gear in it

This 34 has had the pro-bolt treatment

M6 x 30mm (or 25 cant remember)hex bolts for the cam covers and m5 x 15mm for the coil pack cover, cost me I think about 20 bux all up.

Just use a washer (Ill have a look in the shed at what size I used) to fill the hole in the coil cover and on the cam covers I just inverted the rubber grommet thingys so the washer partwas on top and added another underneath, otherwise the hex bolt will chew into the rubber.

I havent got my new coil cover back from Chris yet but it will be the samw deal with the M5's

EDIT: just went and checked the coil cover, m6 as well, not m5

Thanks Dave, that's the sort of info i was looking for :thumbsup: Now i just gotta find a bloody bolt shop locally...

Dude give Bunnings a try, just make sure you get the stainless or high tensile ones and you'll be set. Just double checked the lengths, definately 25mm for the cam covers. You can also use them for the CAS as well if you want.

Oh yeh and I used a 1/4" flat washer (stainless).

Fwiw you can use m8 x15 or 20 for the fuel rail too and I can't remember the size for the tb, work out what ones you want to replace, flick me a pm and I'll get you pics of the packs so you can go and grab them all. I'm trying to convert all the bolts to hex type........just to annoy my tuner lol

Hahaha well Plazmaman are already the upgraded type and the HKS rail came with the too so i am pretty much sorted there... I've gotta go to Bunnings on Sat morning so ill suss it out... I need too get this sorted on the weekend hopefully so i can get the car to a tuner....

I got all mine from bunnings so you can definetely get what you want there.

I didn't realise you were actually asking what size they were, I could have told you they were M6 straight up.

Yeah, size was one thing but more so who was using where and what options are available... I am happy to stick with bunnings as its easy and should look good :thumbsup:

Jeebuz Matt is yours ready for tuning already?

Man Ive gotta pull my finger out and get mine finished :(

Its not ready...no...

But if i book it in ill have no excuse not to MAKE it ready... That's my plan anyhow :happy: Who is doing yours?

I'm building it, chris is coating everything (as you already know) and helping me out with the fabrication side of things cause I can't weld to save me life.

Yavuz at Unigroup is my tuner.

Just started a new job and have been catching the bus, which is shitting me so I've gotta get it going as it's now my daily.........dam it!!!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
