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...

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
