Yep Stock HG...

But I’m not going to back-up my statement, been there don that just take the advice or don’t.
The bolts are flawed, I would move to ARP unit if you can.

Please don’t post something like jimmy got 23424KW from the stock bolts, good for Jimmy I’m just giving my experience here

mmm Ok so just the fact that your bolts screwed out its crap???

But since more than a 3/4 of the club members,which = 180 members, standard nissan bolts worked fine they should all get them out and do ARP???

mmm

Will do. And thanx for the chat, it was good to finally meet somebody from the forum in person. Thanx again for the bolts.

Just adding Info

Info from "Maximum Boost" by “Corky bell”

“The first serious improvement should be to replace bolts with high-strength studs, a properly anchored stud, with its shank bottomed out in the block, will always prove a superior fastener system to a bolt tightened into the block”
