Message	I know we have the OEM option. That aside, has anyone had any luck with using other materials? I'm considering doing an experiment using SS. Doing some research, I can't seem to find out why it won't work as long as I use a stronger grade paired with quality materials. OEM nuts goes for a decent amount ($3.00+) for a single nut. I personally know a decent amount of people using SS nuts for turbo applications. I also read a ton of posts ranging from muscle cars to boats using/recommending SS hardware. This isn't about cost as much ( I get good discounts at Nissan) as the issues we have with getting those pesky things off after a couple of years. I will document it as much as I can. I will still use the stock studs just SS nuts. Is anyone interested or have any information to share?
