Iv managed to lose 2 of the bolts that bolt the prop to the diff

are the baller bolts ones intended for this purpose? the oem ones have a high 'shoulder' on them which i assume is to stop any slack but the baller bolts ones are threaded the whole length :s

Yeah I don't care if they're Grade 12.9 or not, but they're mechanically not the correct bolt. Order some new ones from Nissan or find yourself some used ones that are intended for the prop shaft/driveshaft. I can just see those slacking and breaking under high stress. Idk.. Not digging that full threaded bolt at all..
