i searched around the forums and found the size i needed for my exhaust manu studs. (1 broken off in head and 3 missing ones that whoever took it off last just didnt put back in) and the size i was given was 8mm diameter 1.25 pitch 30mm length. i bought them but they arent as long as the studs that are already in the block. they are about 1/8" shorter than the original studs and the new studs only screw about a 1/4" into the block then the threads run out. is that far enough into the block to use and i will also be going ka-t in a month or so, will the new shorter studs be able to handle the weight of the turbo without snapping off in the head? and if anyone has different correct lenghts for the studs i would appreciate it.

get the right bolt from the dealer if you can't find them at a hardware store, if they don't tighten enough and hold you'll go through exh. mani. gaskets like crazy

You could just remove a good stud and measure it for yourself. Or just buy them from a dealer. Gabossie gave you one option online and there are a few known Nissan Dealers in the Nissan Community that takes internet and phone orders.
