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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
