Need help with a OEM bolt.

Im looking for the M6 x 1.0 x ? HXHD GR8.8PLT i think it's 70mm

This bolt connects your lower plenum in the center to the engine. There is 6 of these screws I think they are the M6 x 1.0 x 70 HXHD GR8.8PLT but not 100%. But anyone know where I can find this bolt? This is very urgent. I found a replacement at ACE hardware, but I want the OEM bolts back in ASAP.

Look for an industrial hardware supplier in your area.
They should be able to match it up.

I got a Match at ACE hardware, but its a silver one. The OEM ones are copper, so I want to match the exact same one. I'm going to try a nissan dealer on my lunch, think they would have em?

They might. I've heard from others that they have gotten this particular bolt from the dealer. Heard its not cheap though. I've heard ~ $4.00 (as compared to ace hardware's $0.55).

4 dollars a bolt? Thats highway robbery those jerks.

The thing is the ones at ace are stainless the guy installing my parts said eventually the ones from ace will rust.

The rust is the challenge. Once stailess rusts it flakes. That debris will get sucked into the engine causing cylinder wall damage. Loss of compression and a whole bunch of long term issues.

So thats why I want the Oem ones.

You want OEM, go to the dealer then. Hey saving $3.45 vs the many problems you'll be facing if you bought a stainless steel bolt. Which would you want?
