Hey guys I need help to get myself 4X longer turbo studs M10X1.25X55mm long at least ( Precision 5558 turbo going onto stock mani with 12mm spacer plate), exhausted goin to autobarn, repco, supercrap auto and even bunnings in parramatta/auburn area in western Sydney, longest they have is 40mm even that in M8 size. Most of them have studs with the hex bolt head welded too. But I just need studs, cant be fked cutting head off etc. Where/what is the closest nut/bolt place in my area, google aint helping and I have uptil Sat wen I will be bolting my shit together, theres always these little bits that I realize I aint got...aaargh! Any suggestions/ exhaust places or what?? Pretty annoyed that supercrap /repco/ autobarn dont stock these. Not interested in GCG Inconel shit for 80bux and its not even long enough.. Ebay got stuff but its not local

The problem with using cheap studs not suitable for exhaust parts, it will bite you in the ass in the long run when they seize/weld up if you ever decide the turbo and exhaust parts off again. It's why the GCG Inconel studs are so expensive

Na, bolts will have to be the exact length to bolt in and hold tight, else use dodgy washers to fill up space.

Jez the guys fitting the turbo are Ron, Jase and Mick O (fab work), these guys dont have studs lol..

Jase, na not getting studs from Melbourne(Stao)

as he himself uses Supercheap Auto stainless studs which I cannot get. AU Falcon ones may do if I can find a wrecker close by.

Scotty, looked up Stainless Allthread -they have M10X50 threads (not studs, but still) maybe get those if all else fails.

Baah didnt think how hard it would be to find a piece of threaded metal..

The stock manifold has M12x1.5 thread. just buy 60mm long studs from Supercheap, cut the hex head off and there is the stud. They comes with Nuts too.

Oh is it really 1.5 thread, I just ordered 1.25 thread man, now I need to get new nuts.. Past threads I have been reading suggest 1.25?? And M10 not M12?? Confused here :S

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
