According to Matt Powers article in superstreet. They stated that he is using z32 head bolts. Ive search about this but didnt come up with anything. Does this work or needs to be custom fitted??

Well it is superstreet...then again it might work OR you might just want to use what was intended to be used, unless your certain.

put one in your left hand, and one in your right hand, then move your eyes from side to side. Let me know I'm interested in why that is so special. Aren't they studs anyway?

if they're the same diameter then it will work... the only benefit is if the 32's are made stronger; forged or what have you

i donno i just thought it was interesting since he didnt just use head studs from arp. i could get the bolts pretty cheap since i work at nissan.

i heard under x amount of hp an tq the studs can strip out so maybe thats the case and he went with a bigger diameter and strong set up.... idk i havent compared the 2 side to side.

head needs to be drilled out. the z32 bolts are 12mm where as ka is 10mm. they also torque higher.
