replacment exhaust studs for a 20

[driftmyke]

ok so i have 2 broken exhaust studs on my rb20, is there any other ones i can get from a autoparts store that will fit any u.s. nissans? like a 300zx for example? cause if i go in to monkeyzone saying skyline and rb20 there gonna look more retared then they already do.

nismoparts carries them, if not have a bolt shop of some sort make some for you from a good stud you have.

Might have a cross reference part car somewhere I just don't know of one personally

go to nissan and get ones for a 300zx. i had to get 2 new ones for my RB25 and i doubt nissan changed it up from the RB20 and RB25

I know I used downpipe studs from an 89 volvo 240 for my rb20.Take one out and go to a dealer and they should be able to match something

Nissan will rape you in the a$$ for them so don't even bother with that nonsense. Search on here because 50 people have had broken exhaust studs and replaced them. Go to a fastener shop in your town and ask for 12 replacements. They will probably find studs that are 1mm shorter, but they still work.

You're going to have an extremely hard time finding them locally.. Or at least I did. They are a noncommon size and length that doesn't seem to be standard on any other car. I ended up ordering my from Shae at NismoParts.com iirc, give him a call and he'll get you what you need. You should pick up a full set with nuts, yokes and washers or at least order a few extras for spares.

Just search on here or review my past posts I know I posted up about it when I went through the same thing. There's a few good posts with part #s and all the details you need man. GL we've all been there....

haha if I could find them in Ames, Iowa, I think anyone can find them anywhere. I got them from a tool and supply store geared more towards contractors than automotive guys.

Ok I found someone local that can get me the exhaust manifold studs in a medium carbon steel. But what about the nuts?? I founds some that are called conical lock tops.

here is a lil bit of the description:

-Resists Vibration, and Used In High Temperature Environments -Deformed Thread Locknut -Material is Steel Finish Zinc Plated Wax -Rockwell Hardness is C30 -Temp Up to 450 F
