If I don't have broke studs yet...

[feloniousmonk]

Would it be a good idea to to some pre-emptive maintenance and replace them, plus, take the opportunity to install a set of Thorley's headers? If so, OEM or aftermarket studs and where can I order them from?

Its a barrel of snakes , if your going with Thorleys expect them to break, i have 5 that needs to be drilled out, Automotive Customizers has studs,

The revised manifold stud Nissan part number is: 14065-V5004 Revised Exhaust Manifold Stud. They're essentially 300ZX twin turbo studs, and they're made of a different type of steel with a more similar coefficient of expansion that doesn't tend to break like the standard ones. Im gonna do the Thorley thing as well!! Do they make 'em for automatics?

From what I've read, no. But, you can modify to fit.

Were I to add another set of Thorley to one of my Pathys, with or without broken studs, I would upgrade, unless of course I already had.... and yes they do fit Auto's Linky in the sig for the ones I have on my 91 Auto....

[95shakinPF]

what kind of modifications did you have to do to get 'em to fit? If any? Also, why do they not list 'em for 2WD? I would think there would be less room on a 4X4

P.S.-Are pacesetters really that inferior to thorleys?

1. None, usually. They fit fine.

 

2. No idea, but they *should still fit.

 

3. Yes, yes they are. If Thorleys are the Cadillac of headers, Pacesetters are a Mazda 626...
