ZakS13 · 08-12-2008, 09:52 PM

I bought my car, no driveshaft and it was an automatic. Now i have a CA18 swap, but no tranny crossmember bolts and no driveshaft bolts. Can anybody help me out with what the measurements are for these?

I need the measurements for the 4 Bolts for the driveshaft to the diff.
and ALL the bolt measurements that mount the Crossmember to the car.

Ive searched and check the FSM but found nothing. Thanks Guys.

sillyvia13 · 08-12-2008, 10:23 PM

dealership?
or even junkyard?

I might havesome around, but I got a trash BARREL full of nuts and bolts...

Slammed180 · 08-13-2008, 07:52 AM

projectRDM · 08-13-2008, 09:15 AM

The transmission crossmember to chassis bolts are the same pitch as the front seat bolts, I think they're M10x1.25 but you can pull one and match it up that way.
Driveshaft to diff are M8x1.25.

You are correct, sir. Just confirmed with the bolts I had.

koukimonster139 · 08-13-2008, 09:34 PM

make sure you use automotive grade hardware, NOT from lowes/home depot etc...

ZakS13 · 08-13-2008, 10:07 PM

why? bolts are bolts. there are just different Grades

koukimonster139 · 08-14-2008, 08:02 AM

no shit,
different grades for different uses.

ZakS13 · 08-14-2008, 08:21 AM

well if i go there i'll just make sure to get the highest grade possible lol

FRoSt415 · 08-14-2008, 09:35 AM

i got the four crossmember bolts. if you would like i also have the two bolt for the tranny mount also. 6 bucks paypal if you interested

ZakS13 · 08-14-2008, 09:41 AM

ZakS13 · 08-14-2008, 08:34 PM

nope
try getting SS ones so they dont rust

also grade 8 and above above

that means iso 10.9 and 12.9 only

no 8.8's

ZakS13 · 08-14-2008, 08:50 PM

so only above 8 grade bolts? so pretty much i'd walk in there, ask the "Home Depot" people for grade 10 bolts of M10x1.25 and M8x1.25?

thejapino · 08-14-2008, 09:04 PM

For all my nuts, bolts, odds & ends needs, I go to the junkyard with old cargo pants.

ZakS13 · 08-14-2008, 09:27 PM

no 240's around where i live lol can't do that

But there's plenty of Sentras, Altimas, Maximas, and trucks. You think the 240SX uses specific bolts made just for that chassis and no other car? Any Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, and nearly any other Japanese built car will have the same type bolts.

ZakS13 · 08-15-2008, 08:04 AM

ok let me rephrase then, there is ONE junkyard where i live that has a 1987 Acura Integra LS. thats like the ONLY import around here in a junkyard lol not alot of imports around here fellas lol.

ZakS13 · 08-15-2008, 02:44 PM

i went to Advance Auto today and picked up some M8x1.25 10.9's and some teflon tape. im also doing a oil pressure gauge install and need a 1/8" BSPT adapter? im going to go to Home Depot soon and see if i can get the M10x1.25 bolts and the adapter for my oil pressure gauge.
