Hey imo.If you replace all of the exhaust studs u r wasting your money.Do the ones that need to be done and leave it at that.

i had 2 replaced and the rest were left and nothing has gone wrong with the others.

You could also get a bloke to come out to u and do it on site but it may co$t a little more.

I probably will just get the broken one replaced, but I've had a lot of mixed opinions... most people have said I might aswell replace them all?

Was it the rear ones near the firewall?  These are the most prone to snapping.

Yeah it was. I have heard they are prone to breaking from old age and prolonged heat exposure.

Since its a pain in the arse to pull everything off -- particularly on GT-Rs -- I hardly see the point in saving $30. Do it once, do it right. The studs are subject to a lot of expansion and contraction, at differing rates, hence why they break. What happens if after torquing one up there is a hairline fracture and the studs breaks next day? Time to pull everything apart, new gaskets, blah blah blah.

LW.

yeah replace them all ... i replaced one when i had the head of my RB .. got it home put her together and snapped another one.. definately not worth the hassle..

and mine was one of the fronts the second time!

im pretty sure you are right, the ones you need are around 50mm in lenght, 32mm wont be long enough.. :D

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
