Axle bolts

[mjhockey155]

I got my R32 VLSD and j30 axles ready to go for the swap, but I still need the 5 axle bolts to connect the axles to the diff. Besides going to a junkyard to get them, would I be fine using grade 8 bolts (fine thread) from a hardware store? If not, I suppose I could make a trip to Nissan and prolly spend a shit ton.

I have used grade 8 bolts on my 6 bolt axles for years and no problem.

Go to Nissan. Make sure you get the bolts specific to the 5 bolt axles or you will be sorry. Ask me how I know....


Or you could just get a weld loc since VLSD's suck like a vac.
