I read about these a while back but couldn't find anything in the "search". Does someone know where to get intake and exhaust manifold studs? or just new bolts as I'm missing about half of mine....I'll just say it had a hell of an exhaust leak Any help would be appreciated.

 

ARP stainless steel head stud and bolt kit... or if your doin a cheapy replacement, take one of the nuts to a NAPA and they will match it to studs and get identical nuts for yah... aint rocket science as i fond out once after doing what youdid... i felt dumb. lol.

 

Nissan Dealership

 

psh... F that the stealership will prolly have to order them take forever and over charge you... only a few things ill go to the dealership for... that taint one of them.

 

They are cheap at the dealership...


Rod.

 

Yea, ive bought them there. They keep them in stock and they are the correct length. Again, think before posting homie

 

ive been to dealerships for many random bolts from non current production cars and they never seem to have jack in stock.... so its outta my personal experience... but i would just do it hte best way get stainless steel through ARP or something.. a bit more pricey but they wont start lookin like crap and wont corrode together.

 

Nissan and/or NAPA.... should be less than $1 per piece.

 

thxone to the rescue...well for the exhaust part anyway.

Yeah, I figured the dealership would have them, I just thought I had read on here that someone was selling complete kits. My dealership is 80 miles away so I thought I might ask on here before having to drive all that way. Again, thanks for the input.

 

80 miles? gas price alone would make it worth ordering if you dont have a napa near you... ARP man, its good stuff... stainless steel!!!!

 

Just dont forget about the anti-sieze compound before you put them in. Makes it a lot easier if you ever need to take them out again. Like when you blow one motor up, and you already bought new studs for it, then you go to your local Nissan dealer, and they tell you the one thirty miles from you has them. Well, screw that noise.

Anyway, just some possible helpful information.

 

MSA carries them also, that is where I got my exhaust stud from, less than a $1 I believe.

 

i got my studs and bolt from MSA too

 

MSA is probably the route I'll go as I can get studs, bolts and everything for 20 bucks.

 

Pallnet's stuff is more expensive, but much better quality in my oppinon. It's $35 plus shipping for the stud kits, but it's also 10.9 grade studs. I have this kit on my 81ZX and it's awesome. Easy install and never had a problem with leaks. Check him out HERE

 

I agree in a big way. I have Pallnet stud kits on all my Z's.
