M11 standard i'm pretty sure (from ARP), no idea on the pitch though. I had to buy one for the VQ as they run the same M11 thread on the head bolts.

Make sure you get a bottoming tap.

To be more exact its actually M11 X 1.5 (pitch) for RB25's and RB30's.

RB26's are M12 X 1.5 pitch.

Reason i know is because im about to convert a RB30 block to RB26 head bolt sizes tomorrow for fun.

Make sure you get the bottoming out tap so yo can reach the end of the threaded hole if cleaning threads, the next one back is the plug tap and will be short 3-5 turns from the bottom, the starter tap will be 5-8 turns short.

Im waiting on 12mm CA625+ studs to arrive and a i have a set of 11mm studs but the box is sealed and i dont want to open it as im selling them.

A stock RB26 head bolt with washer fitted is 99.91mm long from under the washer head to the very end of the bolt including the threaded section that enters the block.

Remove the washer and from under the bolt head to the end of the threads its 102.72 mm.

Washer is 3.10mm thick exactly. (so im a few 0.00mm out somewhere)

Threaded section entering the block from the lengths above is around 27.5mm.

From there you will just need to add what you need to protrude out of the head to get the nut full on when working out stud lengths.

Do you have the length Pete? I want to compare to the VQ bolts I have here. (Not that I really want to go cutting L19's down, but I will if I have to. :P)

I was just down at Barrys and he gave me a set of RB26 ARP2000 stud kit to measure up as im still waiting for my studs to arrive.

Complete length of the whole stud is 124.37mm end to end.

Threaded section that enters the block is 23mm

74.27mm un-threaded shaft length.

Threaded section that nuts go on is 27.1mm.

So 23mm into block, 74.27mm shaft length, 27.1mm threaded for nuts and washer=124.37mm total length.

Hope that helps you. :)

The VQ bolt is 120mm from under the washer to the tip of the thread, so the length would be perfect, but it has an M11 x 1.25 pitch, so if the RB25/30 is 1.5mm pitch that won't work unfortunately.

Are you sure its 1.25 pitch into the block? It would provide real torque when tightening down.

Whats the final torque on them? A lot less than 100ft/lb?

ARP's studs for 25's and 26's are 1.5 pitch into the block but (i think) 1.25 on the heads nut face end. (Much finer)

Yep, I was measuring the stock VQ25det head bolts, so it's the thread into the block. I can't remember the nm figures, but 76nm stock and 96nm for the L19's is stuck in my head for some reason, unless it was actually ft/lb figures.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
