Howd u go?

Any luck getting them out?

[RANDY]

Haven't gotten round to it yet.

Work has been nuts, and i've just received my split dump pipe... I was waiting for that to come in, so that I could do the whole lot in one go.

Also have to order a new exhaust manifold gasket.... i'm sure this one is toast by now. =-]

I'll PM ya when I get it done.

Hi RANDY...

dont loose any studs or nuts or anythign else you need to put it together, nissan have already taken my arms, arse and legs for them!

10 bucks for a single nut on the t3 side and i lost 2....

Why would you go to Nissan for them? They are all made by SHL anyway, just go to a bolts + fasteners shop and pay $1.25

You should replace every stud and nut, reuse the thick washers.

Yikes! Although there is a nut and bolt place near me that can give me anything that I have an original of. =-]

But i'll guard them like you say!

[hijaked]

a lot of bolt shops dont sell metals that are made to get super hot! and if they do... they dont fit... wel the shops i went to didnt anyways

im a natural tightarse! i tried that option!

at the moment my turbo is held on by a couple of the old manifold studs...

[RANDY]

yeah, I know what you mean!

This place was a goldmine once a mate put me onto them!

As long as they're high-tensile steel (8.8) I recken they should be fine.

But anyway, they ask what it is for, and then get you what you need.

I dont think they use 8.8's in an exhaust, they dont match the expansion of an alloy head real well and tend to grab.
