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!!!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
