it was those 4 star shaped bolts with the hex star key with the hole in it that timW sold back in the days...

Does anyone have a spare one laying around or a way to get a hold of tim...
hes not here or the g35 boards anymore...

any help is appreciated.
thanks

 

Is it a torx style?

 

I believe they are also sold at Sears.

 

what do u mean by torx...

this one has the dot in the middle to prevent a normal one from being used...
would sears have those?

 

nope...those are the "security" torx bits...Sears doesn't have them, I tried. (it's the same type that was on the actual sensor part of the MAF) You can find a set online somewhere...I think I saw overstock was selling them a while back, but the "security" deal means the stealership doesn't want you messing with it because they want to charge you...

 

Then they are torx because that's what is used on the MaF sensor part as stated, , I have a set, they come in handy, usually on American cars, (GM), but I guess I'm glad I have them now with the 03.

 

I think it's also to deter thieves.

 

i found the torx L wrenches online.. But i need to know what size they are... im in israel right now and my car is back home.... does anyone know the size of the wrench?

 

Advance Auto Parts had a set of security torx bits for $10... that's where I got mine.

 

I bought one of the last sets Tim was selling, but never installed them. I'll look around to see if I can maybe find them.

 

awesome... good news from both of you... ill check when i get back to the states... and hopefully you have the wrench

thanks

 

Regular 8 sided socket from sears of the right size works just fine.

 

I needed one of those security torx bits for my previous car - picked up the one I needed at AutoZone for a few bucks. Call around to your local auto parts stores before going through the hassle of ordering a whole set online.

 

You guys suck at e-Sleuthing. I'm all over FreshAlloy and G35 driver. I'm hiding as one of the G35 mods as Timware. or as Timw on other boards

Some of you PM'd me here (or found me). I think I answered all the questions.

Its called a Tamperproof Torx Security T-27. its metric and rarely stocked locally. If anyone needs help with those bolts, just let me know..

 

is this for cars w/datadots?...i'm going to be doing dde's soon.

 

No, this was before Nissan released its kit.

 

Who the FOCK are you?!? And where did you bury Kev/Jane?

Good to see ya~!

 

Same here.

 

ebay has them

 

Word. I got a whole set of security/regular torx bits at my local hardware store for around $10. You can find them all over if you just look around a little.

 

Yup, sometimes you need to get offline and go to actual stores.
