Hi Guys,

Craved Coatings has done an awesome job with my cam covers but i want to use some decent Allen key style bolts or something to dress up the engine bay a little bit as the factory bolts look like crap, tried the old :google: and had no luck, there is companies offshore doing them but not the exact ones i am after... I downloaded this as an example -

These are the Cam Covers after Chris worked his magic -

If someone can steer me in the right direction it would be appreciated :cool:

Yeah true, was hoping for a lazy solution though as I don't know where one is and also work generally prevents me from looking Mon-Fri etc...

I need to get some of these as well... and I love going to the bolt shop... They may even have a replacement for the rubber grommets (something similar atleast), you never know...

I'll let you know how I go if ya want...

I'm replacing heaps of fasteners through my car with gear from this company..

http://www.pro-bolt.com/

Group buy on some bolts (Allen key style) in various colours? :)

Not sure if anywhere in Aus does colored bolts like this?

Some very nice gear there :)

Yeah the actual catalogue has some great gear in it

This 34 has had the pro-bolt treatment

M6 x 30mm (or 25 cant remember)hex bolts for the cam covers and m5 x 15mm for the coil pack cover, cost me I think about 20 bux all up.

Just use a washer (Ill have a look in the shed at what size I used) to fill the hole in the coil cover and on the cam covers I just inverted the rubber grommet thingys so the washer partwas on top and added another underneath, otherwise the hex bolt will chew into the rubber.

I havent got my new coil cover back from Chris yet but it will be the samw deal with the M5's

EDIT: just went and checked the coil cover, m6 as well, not m5

Thanks Dave, that's the sort of info i was looking for :thumbsup: Now i just gotta find a bloody bolt shop locally...

Dude give Bunnings a try, just make sure you get the stainless or high tensile ones and you'll be set. Just double checked the lengths, definately 25mm for the cam covers. You can also use them for the CAS as well if you want.

Oh yeh and I used a 1/4" flat washer (stainless).

Fwiw you can use m8 x15 or 20 for the fuel rail too and I can't remember the size for the tb, work out what ones you want to replace, flick me a pm and I'll get you pics of the packs so you can go and grab them all. I'm trying to convert all the bolts to hex type........just to annoy my tuner lol

Hahaha well Plazmaman are already the upgraded type and the HKS rail came with the too so i am pretty much sorted there... I've gotta go to Bunnings on Sat morning so ill suss it out... I need too get this sorted on the weekend hopefully so i can get the car to a tuner....

I got all mine from bunnings so you can definetely get what you want there.

I didn't realise you were actually asking what size they were, I could have told you they were M6 straight up.

Yeah, size was one thing but more so who was using where and what options are available... I am happy to stick with bunnings as its easy and should look good :thumbsup:

Jeebuz Matt is yours ready for tuning already?

Man Ive gotta pull my finger out and get mine finished :(

Its not ready...no...

But if i book it in ill have no excuse not to MAKE it ready... That's my plan anyhow :happy: Who is doing yours?

I'm building it, chris is coating everything (as you already know) and helping me out with the fabrication side of things cause I can't weld to save me life.

Yavuz at Unigroup is my tuner.

Just started a new job and have been catching the bus, which is shitting me so I've gotta get it going as it's now my daily.........dam it!!!

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
