DIY: Engine Bay Dress-Up Bolt/Washer Kits, NFSP Style

Alright guys, here's the list I've compiled working from what NFSP G35, midna, and NoSurf2Day had provided. I also cross referenced with the GalleryFresh kit list, Courtesy Parts' diagrams and datsun1200.com's part number decoding thread (interesting read on how to decipher nissan's part numbers).
*Disclaimer: I have not yet tried each of these out yet, but comparing between all sources has been pretty definitive.
This is for the HR motor, but much of it is the same for DE cars as well (just use half of the throttle body bolts, ignore the engine cover nuts/bolts, and add the plenum bolts that midna and NFSP have listed).
Headlights
(2) M6x1.00x20mm flat head allen bolts
(2) M6 countersunk washers
Strut Bar
(6) M10x1.25x25mm flanged hex bolts (use 30mm if you have a DE with a plenum spacer)
(2) M10x1.25 flanged nuts (normal hex nuts work too but require washers)
(8) M10 flat washers (these are only needed if you don't use flanged bolts/nuts above)
Shock Towers
(6) M8 flanged nuts (normal hex nuts work too but require washers)
(6) M8 flat washers (these are only needed if you don't use flanged nuts above)
Power Steering Bolts
(3) M6x1.00x25mm flat head allen bolts
(3) M6 countersunk washers
Radiator Support
(4) M8x1.25x16mm flat head allen bolts
(4) M8 countersunk washers
Engine Cover (HR specific two piece cover)
(3) M6x1.00x20mm flat head allen bolts
(3) M6 countersunk washers
(4) M6x1.00 dome(acorn) nuts
(4) M6 flat washers
Hood
(4) M8 flanged nuts (normal hex nuts work too but require washers)
(4) M8 flat washers (these are only needed if you don't use flanged nuts above)
Throttle Body (for DE motors, just get 4 of each)
(8) m6x1.00x60mm metric allen bolts
(8) m6 flat washers (the smaller the outside diameter the better)
Fender
(6) M6x1.00x20mm flat head allen bolts
(6) M6 countersunk washers
(4) M8x1.25x16mm flat head allen bolts
(4) M8 countersunk washers
You can get away with using 86 total pieces which include the 6 nuts for the shock tower (under the strut tower bar) of which only some are exposed. Reduced from the 104 I had originally noted since using flanged bolts/nuts in some places eliminates the need for washers.

The only thing I found is that the throttle bolts should be
m6x1.00x55mm instead of m6x1.00x60mm (for HR).
Here are a few shots of my setup.

^thanks, guys. I bought bolts from allens fasteners, and i got washers and strut bar bolts/nuts from pro-bolt.com
Tpete, the outer two throttle bolts will extend and bite through the plenum plastic cover a bit. I kept the 60mm ones though, but 55mm is a perfect length.

^Nicely done dude.
Friend of mine just bought a 06 350Z, and he's already wanting to do this mod. I actually forgot this thread was over here with all the Z guys working out exact bolt lists!

I know its been almost a year since this was posted but I just wanted to say thanks to the OP for the legwork and everyone who contributed to the list!
I think I'll do this this weekend.
SUBD!

I also ordered through probolt. I did everything with their aluminum bolts, nuts and washers with the exception of the strut bar and shock tower nuts/bolts, which I did in stainless steel.
The torque levels on all of the other places are well within aluminum's limits.

Dunno..just the feel of the ti from dressupbolts.com made it worth the extra cheese. The install was actually fun.
Plus the pure is more of a blurple Lol..it has a semi burned multi colored effect. The shadows are blue and the purple is bright under direct light. Very cool.
