Dude give Bunnings a try, just make sure you get the stainless or high tensile ones and you'll be set

keep in mind that the pretty black hex bolts (high tensile I believe) will rust... stainless bolts wont but they are too bright on the eyes for me...

anyone know if were able to use the alloy hex bolts that come annodized, that way I can have all my bolts in black....

will the alloy cause any problems, reaction with heat or corrosion probs???

Everything is black and silver in the engine bay so stainless will suit mine fine :) judging by that bolt shops products there don't seem to be any issues??

Im hooked on those alloy hex head bolts, I'll see if I can replace every bolt I can see with either socket or dome heads in black....

dome heads should be nice for the cam covers too Id think...

Thread pitch is the same for all afaik but I'm not certain. I wanted to use a dome head for the rad support brackets but couldn't find them in m6 only imperial sizes.

If you come across them let us know can ya?

Oh yeh you can get high tensile in silver fwiw.

This place has dome, flanged, socket, countersunk all with hex heads and in a variety of colours, but of course they are all alloy, and they have some really trick alloy bolts too... so they should be fine for panels low weight/heat applications...

I dont think a group buy would help us much either as their pack price aint that much different to their singular pricing...

Id love to put a list together of all bolt sizes, lengths, head size and counts so I can order one whole batch that will replace most engine bay bolts...

that sounds like alot of effort.... and can I actually make time to step foot in the garage at all...

The guy in the link below spent over $5,500 alone in Pro Bolt fittings.

Yeah should start a thread with bolt sizes for certain items. Could be constantly edited so the first post contains all te info

I thought group buy would be good cause I thought they were UK based then found out they had an aus site. But still they might be interested in doing significant discounts on say 200 cam cover bolts

But not to sure how cheap this would get and who would want to organize it lol

1 bolt (M8 socket cap, alloy) on US site is $1.30US, same bolt on Aust site $1.84AUD

thats from the pro bolt sites... thats more than just currency exchange effecting that price...

I wonder if its more worthwhile buying from the US in that case...

Depending on how many you buy i guess... The dollar would make buying it cheaper but freight, waiting and the extra hassle would really have to be taken into account compared to how much you would save, on another note, they may make you buy from Aus shop and not send them due to that??

damn you beat me to it, I've been counting and measuring bolts too...

but Im also replacing the M5x.8mm bolts as well...

the only other thing that changes is what style of washer, cup or countersunk configuration you decide for each of the positions the bolts is in...

like the front fender top bolts Im using cup washers and socket cap hex bolts in black alloy, cas bolts im using socket cap and plain washers in black.

other bolts will be countersunk washers and hex bolts style....

M5

M8

M6

now just to count them and group them in styles.... oh yeah and order...

      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.
