how about these ones?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200643935383

Also Stao you said the M10x1.25 would fit in your reply email, however people have confirmed it's M10x1.5 for the manfold to turbo studs

Didn't end up going with these then johnny? My studs keep warping and turbo keeps coming loose even with locknuts. Thinking about just shelling out for these things and see how they go.

Get Iconel ones. I think they are the strongest you can get (someone correct me if im wrong)

Yeah they are a 'heat-proof' metal. If someone can point me in the direction of a M10x1.5 60+mm Inconel stud I would be more than happy to buy them.

I purchased the MTQ 'GT30' stud kit but the studs are only 35mm (from memory) and are obviously way too short to use.

Yes it is definitely the length that is the issue. I'm just surprised that I'm having the issue when it really doesn't seem to be that common when plenty of people run GT30's on a standard manifold.

Yes I am running a steel spacer and 2x T3 gaskets I got from denco diesel. The gaskets are just your average run of the mill gaskets. The only reason it keeps doing gaskets is that the turbo comes loose, losing its seal and the gaskets will obviously blow out before the cast iron does.

I have a feeling it may be something to do with my exhaust though. It is a hack-together job and is only being held on by a single hangar and moves around a fair bit. Getting a proper exhaust made up in the next few weeks so having it hang properly will help alleviate the warped studs I should hope.

Actually I did got another set in 1.5 pitch, sorted out the manifold then discovered 3x snapped studs on the head and a stripped holepost-22311-13908202979883_thumb.jpg

Pics of the gaskets? Poop gaskets can deteriorate with heat and will therefore let the tension off the nuts.

I had same problem with my td06 20g on the std manifold. I found that goin to a thicker sort of crush turbo gasket helped a lot (think it was mls). The single, realy thin stainless gaskets are rubbish.

Also stubbled across this on facebook. They might sell 4 studs on their own for the turbo side.

Racetune Inconel Studs now available! Pictured here is an RB20 RB25 RB26 RB30 kit featuring Inconel studs with rolled threads and stainless steel lock nuts. Why pay close to $120 for genuine Nissan junk made out of mild steel and guaranteed to break?

Get some Inconel studs for $220 delivered Australia wide.

Inconel is the same material that turbo shafts and blades are made out of and are highly heat and corrosion resistance.

Message us in Facebook or email [email protected] to order.

Pickup available from Vic.

Are the studs that hold the turbo on the same size as the manifold studs?

Manifold studs are M10, and from memory the end that goes into the manifold is M12x1.5 and the end that connects to the turbocharger is M12x1.25.

With the dump pipe studs, if using a ATR43xx bolton turbocharger, the one above the internal gate flapper has to bekept short. or it might be fouling against the gate. Preferably just a 20mm bolt

Those threads are cut, not rolled

From what i've read rolled threads are much stronger (rolling work-hardens the surface of the steel)

But i guess if the studs get hot enough it'll anneal it anyway, undoing the work-hardening process

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
