Head Studs On Ebay

try here, id say youd need them with that kind of boost, always nice to be on the safe side.

Im sure most people use Nissans torqu settings too.

Torque settings will be in the box.. Use the ARP Settings with ARP Studs..

yes, although the gtir mains are apparantly stronger, theres not much need to change the gtir mains tbh,

Sorry to drag this back up again but i have more issues and was wondering when i change my headgasket is it worth getting some of these headstuds instead of the nissan bolts?
I have read some good and some bad reports but am still unsure of what to do.
I am assuming the headstuds are a straight swap and you don't have to machine the block or anything silly to fit them?
Also what is the right torque setting for them? some say whats on the box/arp instructions some say nissan oem torque or is it a different setting altogether?
And wheres the best place to get them quick in this country?or is it best to get them from america if you are in a hurry?

Get some new Nissan bolts instead IMO, When new and torqued correctly they will be fine for 99.9% of the users here.
