Pro bolt - Strut Brace

[Ceejay29]

Hi,

 

I want to replace the OEM strut brace bolts, the three that bolt down the feet and the single nut either side. I will probably go for Pro-Bolt.

 

Does anybody know what thread/length I need etc? I have the H-Dev plenum spacer and rings fitted to lift the strut brace.

 

Thanks

I used:

 

Bolts M10x(1,25)x30mm http://www.pro-bolt.com/titanium/titanium-bolts-flanged-hex/titanium-hex-head-m10-x-1-25mm-x-30mm.html#.U1fy4JJdV8E

Nuts M10x(1.25) http://www.pro-bolt.com/titanium-flanged-nut-m10-x-1-25mm.html#.U1fzVpJdV8E

Brilliant, thanks Greg

 

 

........oh I presume there isnt a different between JDM (which I have) and UK?

Did you buy washers too? Getting pricey

It should not matter if its a JDM, it will be the same size etc.

 

I did buy washers.

 

You can buy the same size bolts in stainless steel which are half the price of titanium bolts.

Guys, isnt the nut M8?

[Ceejay29]

Yes I opted for the stainless steel, couldn't quite justify the total outlay for titanium. Hope I don't regret it. Should match Paddy's bolt kit anyhow.

 

Thanks again Greg

.......shut up?? Are you pulling my leg Paddy?

[Paddy78]

I don't think so mate, take a bolt off and check it on the nut. I'm sure they're M8's... I could be wrong... but I've done quite a lot of research on 350z bolts.

Strut nuts x 2 are 10mm

[Ceejay29]

Bugger.

[Wasso]

But you'll also need a large washer under each of the bolts/nut as they're small flanged. Especially if on the oem strut.

Thanks Ian and sorry Ceejay! That's saved me from buying the wrong size nuts!

[Wasso]

Bugger.

 

M10 = 10mm so if that's what you've ordered you're fine (as long as they have a fine 1.25 pitch)

[Ceejay29]

I think Greg is right. A few topics suggest M10's. Oh well we will see.

Yes six of those and two nuts

[Wasso]

I've spent well over £1,000 on spacer bolts since doing the kits so I've had to trawl many suppliers and the main strut bolts are the hardest to source. Luckily the spacer kit doesn't need the sprocket nut to be replaced.

 

 

[Wasso]

M10 is right, don't worry you'll be fine. If you end up with a M8 the easy answer is a hammer!!

There M10's i have just checked the receipt.

 

Not to mention i used one of these to check the sizes :http://www.pro-bolt.com/workshop-other/essential-items/pro-gauge-bolt-measuring-tool-essential-item-for-tool-box.html#.U1lgUZNdV8E

 

Oh and i have been an engineer for 24years therefore know a little bit about nuts and bolts
