Studs And Nuts

[Philr32]

Hi all I am trying to hunt down some new studs and nuts for exhaust manifold (RB25DET), after calling numerous nut and bolt places, exhaust places, autobarn, rocket ind. and repco in the Sydney area I have found they are quite hard to get. I'm after 12 in m10x1.25 55mm long and 4 in m10x1.5 50mm long (the 4 are for where the turbo bolts to the manifold). I can go to Nissan for the 12 where the manifold bolts to the head but I would prefer something a but stronger/longer lasting than standard. however the 4 where the turbo bolts to the manifold look as though they have been redrilled to a different thread than standard.

So to the point does anyone have an idea on where I can get these from in the Sydney area, and preferably without paying an arm and a leg...

Try the jap Wreckers

It's baffling that you can't find new exhaust studs. Any decent exhaust shop should carry the right ones you need. Try looking at online companies or exhaust shops further away that have them and could post them.

There's no point buying old used exhaust studs from a wreckers.

I don't know how you couldn't find this? Nissan sell them as well individually. Hell I think super cheap even sell them

Thanks for the help, that covers the 12 for manifold to head but dies anyone have any ideas for the 4 where the turbo bolts to the manifold?

Go to Nissan. There not cheap but they are high tensile studs

^^ this, you might pay a little more for them but nissan will most likely have them on the shelf ready to go and they will be the correct grade etc

Hi all thanks again, went to just jap and got some genuine Nissan stuff for the 12, as I suspected that the 4 where the turbo bolts to manifold had been redrilled to a different thread I thought standard wouldn't fit, I ended up getting grade 8.8 steel grub screws which will do the job.

Cheers
