Default OEM flywheel bolts $4.88 x 8. Fastenal $0.3403.

$40 + shipping for OEM bolts that sometimes break when they are reused is ridiculous. The flywheel bolt size is M10x1.0 with a 25mm length. Socket cap bolts from Fastenal are class 12.9 which can probably be reused multiple times and are less than $1.00. Just need to be weight balanced.

I hate those damn torx bolts for the flywheel... A hex head like everyone else uses would be so much nicer... Why would you need to balance it for the bolts, they are all the same distance from the center hole and should weight the same

I'm picky, but yes, they should be good to go.

Also only buy the plain ones. The coating on the others can come off.

Better check and see if Nissan calls for torque to yield on the flywheel, because if they are, you may be sorry for saving 35 bucks on cheap bolts.
