the nuts are not working loose imo, maybe the thread pitch is 1.25, its over a year since i fitted the turbo, the lock nuts are about 17 mm and squashed oval, the stud actually stretches when it reaches red heat,it was far worse when I had the .63 housing from atp , I know what i need roughly just I cannot find them local to me

you can get inconnel studs from GCG ( turboedsloth posted a link earlier in the thread ) not sure if they have the length you are chasing??

surely you need a bolt not a stud, not sure if you could screw one of those oval crush lock nuts on either end of a stud,

I've tried pretty much everyone locally that came up on google.... and nobody sells inconnel bolts off the shelf, they have round bar etc and only machine up bolts to order for industry, aero etc would be bloody expensive for the quantities we are wanting.. I see you are in Ireland, I thought you might be able to find somewhere up there...? obviously not..

If anyone has better luck than me, post it up here for everyone thumbsup.gif

i just put new studs on and new bolts, the bolts i was givin were bigger than the standard ( 17mm opposed to 14mm spanner used) and were a tighter fit on the thread than the old ones ( tighter on and tighter off, you can get these ) , if the bolts are working loose you should try locking two nuts together instead of using just one, that way it cant come loose or try a tighter fitting nut.

The bolts and studs from MTQ were pretty crap, i dont think they even matched properly, the ones from the nuts and bolts shop look solid alot more solid and beefy,

i can honestly say, do not skimp in this department cause after drilling out 6 old broken bolts out of the cylinder head and some new bolts even stripping threads on new studs lol, you dont want to do this twice lol...

I tried to remove the turbo studs from my OEM gt-t exhaust manifold because I need longer ones. I've put some WD40 on over night an screwed two nuts on them but could not manage to remove the studs.

Is there any special method to remove them from the manifold?

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
