On more than one occasion, I've lost all of the bolts that go to certain parts of my car, and had to try multiple different ones before I could replace them. As I'm putting my car back together, I'm going to be posting up the bolts I replace with their sizes. If anyone else has some bolt sizes to add, please feel free to reply, and I'll add them.

Added.Length's not that big of a deal. People can always grind a bolt to make it shorter.

Here's all the sizes of bolts used on s13s. Grades 4T, 7T, and 9T. This doesn't help the "Where does this go" aspect, but you can grab a bunch of these sizes from your hardware store and never have to worry about losing one.

I really hate how these cars always get covered in zip ties. My car makes me sad everytime I go to my garage and see my ziptied bumper. I bet I put bolts in it before I drive it though

Added. Thank you. Goal here is to eventually have every single bolt in the car labeled so that people can open the thread and use their browser's word find feature to know exactly what they need to go buy.

The starter bolts, you only included the length, and are the pressure plate bolts the same for both the SR AND the KA, or are these KA specific?

Sorry, no bolt info but I have to post in here otherwise I will lose this info for eva.lol.

I like to go here to find factory bolts and stuff. They usually have pics so you can reference where the bolt goes and so on. I know there are also other places that offer this stuff.

does anyone know the correct length of sr valve cover studs ? i think they are M6 x 1.0, i'd like to know the correct length, im gonna order a set of these http://www.galleryfresh.com/2.html

an easy way to get the thread pitch is by using the gauge that comes with a tap and die set, just match the gauge teeth with the bolt
