Hey

Just need to get some clarification. I need to get a set (6) of these for the turbo to dump.

Looking at the manual diagrams it looks like some are meant to be bolts and some are supposed to be studs? I've always thought they were all studs...?

On Just Jap for example, they have "Exhaust Manifold Studs" for $2.95 each and "Turbo Compressor Studs" for $19 each. What's the difference between the two? I'm guessing the Turbo Compressor Studs are the ones I'm after?

Thanks for any help

Exhaust Manifold Studs are for exhaust manifolds.... Turbo Compressor Studs might be what you want.

Exhaust manifold studs are quite long in size in comparison to dump pipe and turbo manifold inlet studs.

I don't know why you'd ever use a bolt as its not friendly as it is to get apart for some dump pipes.

Look up wurth dump pipe studs/nuts to get an idea of what they should look like.

Turbo to dump bolt x4 Nissan p/n 14434 V 0301 amayama Japan $6 each

Turbo to dump stud x2 Nissan p/n 1441417 F 00 amayama Japan $6 each

Turbo to dump nut x2 Nissan p/n 1441417 F 00 amayama Japan $3.50 each

RB Turbo Gasket Kit x1 Nissan p/n 1440172 L 26 amayama Japan $55 each

RB 20/5 Exhaust Gasket x1 Nissan p/n 1403621 U 00 amayama Japan $70 each

RB 20/5 Exhaust Stud / Yoke Kit x1 Nissan p/n ????? Kudos Motorsports Australia $88 each

Don't even ask what Nissan AU want for that lot, but you can save by going to a specialized bolt shop, do your own research as to what sizes you need, ex stud and yoke kit from kudos MS is a good deal and something that should be replaced if the manifold comes off.

Compressor studs are on the compressor side of the turbo, as in not the exhaust. Probably for the elbow off the compressor outlet.

The dump pipe uses 2 studs and 4 bolts if its anything like the r33's. You dont NEED to use studs and bolts. Use whatever is easiest to undo.

Measure what size you need and go down to CAT and ask for the size(s) you need in high tensile bolt. This is what I used to run. Put a little bit of good quality anti sieze on them as well and they will be wasy to get out next time and wont sieze in the holes

If you are talking about exhaust manifold to turbo then these are all studs and usually wont come out of the manifold

2 studs on the bottom of the dump, the other 4 are bolts

14414-17F00 - Studs x 2, approx $5 each

14434-V0301 - Bolts x 4, approx $5 each

If you really want genuine. That is how they are supposed to be. And it does (for some strange reason) say the studs are for the compressor housing, but they definetly bolt onto the turbine housing. Japlish maybe not the best

depends on your dump and tools, stick to stock setup unless you have reason not too

One last question. Reading through these forums can get confusing...

Some people say just get genuine Nissan, others say go to a specialist fastener shop and get high tensile studs, then others say high tensile loses its high tensile properties under extreme heat, so then people recommend inconel...

Also recommended is copper anti-seize on studs and bolts in high heat applications? A good idea or not necessary?

For example, I'm looking at what GCG have available online. They sell sets of high tensile studs and locking nuts for turbo to dump. If they're selling these then obviously high tensile must be fine... The set, however, doesn't include bolts, just 6 studs and nuts...

What are genuine Nissan? High tensile, inconel?

From what I understand:

Exhaust manifold to block - inconel

Turbo to exhaust manifold - inconel

Turbo to dump - high tensile

Thanks heaps for your help

I dont think it matters, stock are cheap enough to buy new regularly, inconel will last longer...

I had to modify a ring spanner to fit my dump pipe. I don't think that spanner would work too well with a stud and nut. I also have a special spanner for the ex-manifold to turbo flange.

finding a tool that works is difficult.

Make it easy for yourself to put together. No point making it harder than it already is so do what will work best. Anti-seize is definitely a good idea.

I sure as hell wouldn't want to put dumps and turbos together then have a leak because the bolt/stud and nut isn't put on/tightened properly. Take your time to do it right and you won't have to pull it out to do it again.

I just had to replace a dump gasket on my rear turbo on my GTR because the last person didn't have the correct nuts or tightened properly so it was running 3/5 nuts and leaking like a mofo.

If it helps, getting some small sized ring spanners or adjustable may aid you if you can't get a socket in there, but a socket will always be better as you won't potentially be slowly tripping the nut you are trying to do up tight.

Kudos Motorsports sell the stud and nut togeather, we aleast thats where I got mine from a few weeks ago. Just send them an email and they will send you the link back to the product on there online store and be done with it.

They probably run 2 studs and 4 bolts as standard to make fitting the dump easier. Stud acts as a guide.

In this situation a stud is no better or worse so I assume its just for locating. Like I said I ran CAT high tensile bolts in mine with some loctite silver grade anti-sieze, no issues at all and when I pulled it off it was only tight when first loosening the bolt. Finger tight the rest of the way. For some reason remember it being easier with all bolts and no studs but thats going back a bit

Studs

For: The allow you to hang the dump on something while you try to get bolts into the rest of the holes.

Against: They require you to be able to locate the dump in alignment with the turbo at some distance (longer than the studs) back from the mating flange before pushing it onto the flange.

Whichever is the most helpful or most troublesome of those two aspects determines whether they are good for you or not. The main reason to use 2 studs and the rest bolts is that simultaneously aligning more than 2 studs and holes becomes increasingly more difficult with each extra stud. 2 is the minimum to give you enough location to allow you to get bolts into the rest, so it seems like the crossover point between those two considerations.

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
