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???

[34GeeTeeTee]

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??

[75coupe]

is the thread pitch the same on all the bolts, is it 1.00mm or 1.25mm????

[75coupe]

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...

[DaveO74]

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.

[75coupe]

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

Fark!!!

$5500 on bolts and fittings? god dammmmmmmmmm

[75coupe]

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??

Hey guys,

R34 is different to the images and sizes posted, they are easier which is good =)

All i needed to buy was -

20 of the M6 x 20 stainless allen key head bolts with washers

8 of the M6 x 10 stainless allen key head bolts (Or were they 15? Damn ill check)

All up cost about $20

And before anyone comments, NO it is not a ghey N/A engine, i just have the manifolds off!!!

[75coupe]

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...

[75coupe]

oh yeah Im doing as many in the entire engine bay as I can see or afford which ever comes first...

75coupe make sure some bolt pics go up in this thread so you can show my lazy effort up!!!

Anyone with an R34 that wants the bolts that i used let me know and i can try arrange to pick up a pack when i go past the bolt shop now i actually know where one is

[NYTSKY]

Every bolt on my motor are black allen key head bolts (stainless for the cam covers ect). A small detail but makes a big difference.
