S13 Common Bolt Sizes (Road Trip Kit)

[PHeller]

I know 6 hours of driving is nothing, but I've never really looked into what all different sized bolts I've got on my S13.

I probably won't have any problems, but if I do, what kind of tools will I need?

I'm thinking of taking a 10,12,14,16,18mm shallow sockets with extensions, my torque wrench with deep socket for the lug nuts, check my spare for air, some random wires and pliers for anything electrical.

Any other ideas?

if ur car can't make a 6 hour trip get something more reliable.

but that should cover it.

hell i dont even run a spare anymore

ditch the 16 and 18 for 17 and 19 i dont think there is a single 16 or 18mm bolt on the car

16 is the spark plug, I think, unless it is a little bigger, but I just tried it and it seemed to pretty close.

Like I said, I don't think it'll have any problems, and if it does, it'll be something more than I can fix with a tool kit.

10, 12, 14, 17 are the most common sizes for 240. if your turbo you want the right socket for your coupler clamps. i faced 6, 7, 8, 10, for those.

I believe 17 is the largest you'll need. And out of personal experience, when I was having problems with my starter, I was able to remove it in a parking lot in the middle of no where with the jack that came with the car and a 5 buck tool kit that I got at Kragen XD The S13 can be surprisingly easy to work on... But, of course, I hope you don't run into any problems Have a nice road trip!

19, 22, and 24mm.That covers the lugnuts and the suspension.

Honestly though I have a small Craftsman tool bag with just what has been mentioned and can pretty much tear apart the entire car.

36mm and 32mm for the axle nuts...

but unecessary
