I'm trying to find the right size to this bolt that goes through the top portion of the clutch pedal bracket. Right now I have some misc. bolt that over time, just comes loose because its not the perfect fit (nothing is stripped). I will be honest when I say I have no clue what the numbers mean in the FSM. :/

The bolt highlighted is the one in question.....

Finding a 240sx 5psd in a junkyard and being able to pick the parts off yourself is rare around here. So my only alternative is to buy the right bolt and washers or wait for someone to part out a car (locally).

Does anyone know what size this bolt is? or anyone have one to send to me? :bite:

Wow, just stop right now. There is no 13mm bolt anywhere on a 240SX chassis.

The bolt in question is an M8x1.25, same exact bolt as the top one in the brake pedal. Any Nissan will have several of them throughout the car securing larger items like dash brackets, etc.

lol Remember guys! The socket size you use to remove a bolt does not equal the size of the actual bolt! That's just the head

The numbers in this case refer to the torque specs

It's definitely a common bolt, I used a spare one that was sitting around.
