    I was working on an s14 but I'm sure the threads are the same. I struggled to get anything with the right threads as most were too course. I ended up buying a basic set and then having to buy individual taps and dies to suit. Got most of then off Amazon and were up to what I needed. Ended up being cheaper than buying an expensive set that I wouldn't use most of.

    I got one set from Laser that looks 100% identical to this one of eBay but it was like £150 instead of £50. Has pretty much any metric that you will need on a car. Defo worth the investment

    I bought a cheap set 10 years ago and I hardly use it as it does not seem to have the most common thread sizes. All I can say is make sure the set you buy comes with m8 x 1.
