Dude give Bunnings a try, just make sure you get the stainless or high tensile ones and you'll be set

keep in mind that the pretty black hex bolts (high tensile I believe) will rust... stainless bolts wont but they are too bright on the eyes for me...

anyone know if were able to use the alloy hex bolts that come annodized, that way I can have all my bolts in black....

will the alloy cause any problems, reaction with heat or corrosion probs???

Everything is black and silver in the engine bay so stainless will suit mine fine :) judging by that bolt shops products there don't seem to be any issues??

Im hooked on those alloy hex head bolts, I'll see if I can replace every bolt I can see with either socket or dome heads in black....

dome heads should be nice for the cam covers too Id think...

Thread pitch is the same for all afaik but I'm not certain. I wanted to use a dome head for the rad support brackets but couldn't find them in m6 only imperial sizes.

If you come across them let us know can ya?

Oh yeh you can get high tensile in silver fwiw.

This place has dome, flanged, socket, countersunk all with hex heads and in a variety of colours, but of course they are all alloy, and they have some really trick alloy bolts too... so they should be fine for panels low weight/heat applications...

I dont think a group buy would help us much either as their pack price aint that much different to their singular pricing...

Id love to put a list together of all bolt sizes, lengths, head size and counts so I can order one whole batch that will replace most engine bay bolts...

that sounds like alot of effort.... and can I actually make time to step foot in the garage at all...

The guy in the link below spent over $5,500 alone in Pro Bolt fittings.

It can be addictive and expensive !!

Yeah should start a thread with bolt sizes for certain items. Could be constantly edited so the first post contains all te info

I thought group buy would be good cause I thought they were UK based then found out they had an aus site. But still they might be interested in doing significant discounts on say 200 cam cover bolts

But not to sure how cheap this would get and who would want to organize it lol

:blink: Fark!!!

1 bolt (M8 socket cap, alloy) on US site is $1.30US, same bolt on Aust site $1.84AUD

thats from the pro bolt sites... thats more than just currency exchange effecting that price...

I wonder if its more worthwhile buying from the US in that case...

Depending on how many you buy i guess... The dollar would make buying it cheaper but freight, waiting and the extra hassle would really have to be taken into account compared to how much you would save, on another note, they may make you buy from Aus shop and not send them due to that??

Hey guys,

R34 is different to the images and sizes posted, they are easier which is good =)

All i needed to buy was -

20 of the M6 x 20 stainless allen key head bolts with washers

8 of the M6 x 10 stainless allen key head bolts (Or were they 15? Damn ill check)

All up cost about $20

And before anyone comments, NO it is not a ghey N/A engine, i just have the manifolds off!!! :rofl:

damn you beat me to it, I've been counting and measuring bolts too...

but Im also replacing the M5x.8mm bolts as well...

the only other thing that changes is what style of washer, cup or countersunk configuration you decide for each of the positions the bolts is in...

like the front fender top bolts Im using cup washers and socket cap hex bolts in black alloy, cas bolts im using socket cap and plain washers in black.

other bolts will be countersunk washers and hex bolts style....

M5

M8

M6

now just to count them and group them in styles.... oh yeah and order...

    • 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?
