Exhaust Manifold Stud Kits

G'morning all,

I am looking to get a fella out to repair the thread on the rear most manifold stud hole on the RB20DET (if anyone can recommend someone good whom services the Gold Coast that would be awesome) Upon seeing that the average prices I could find on exh mani stud kits were $115 and UP, I took it upon myself to find an alternative.

Went down to the local nut "n" bolt (Coastal Bolts and Fasteners Labrador) and matched up the right studs. They are M10x1.25 for anyone interested and 14 of them (two for spares) cost me $25 or $30. throw in some washers and .10c a piece and some nuts for the same, it starts becoming a WHOLE lot cheaper than buying a kit. Without the spacers that I am asking about, the whole lot has cost me around $40. With the spacers it would cost me $50 MAX. Which is a whole lot better than the $115 or so to get the kit. $175 if you are getting them from Nissan themselves.

However, a dilemma I am having, is I have recently noticed that in the stud kits, are not only washers but actual spacers, and to top it off they are not all the same, cylinders 1,2,3 and 5 have one type, whilst 4 and 6 have another.

I can not seem to find anywhere what sizes these spacers are. Would there be any chance that someone on here might know what sizes they are? For the two different spacers needed. I believe they are spacers, they look like they are.

As you can see in the image above, there are 12 washers, 8 thick spacers and 4 spacers a little bit thinner. All I need to know is what thickness they are. If anyone has some old exh studs left laying around with the spacers on them (PLEASE, not just a stud with a random spacer you chucked on there, but the actual required spacer) could you please measure the thickness of them. I need the measurements for both the thin and thick spacers (not the washers, just the spacers)

Kind Regards,

Michael

Hey mate, i have one of each in front of me. Also if you can find a manual, it's on page en-76. Looks like the same for rb20-25.

Measured with a tape measure (cause thats all ive got)

Smaller one is 5mm thick, 11mm inside hole and 22mm outside diameter.

Larger one is 5mm thick, 11mm inside hole and 24mm outside diameter.

Hope that helps

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
