I don't think that compression rod bolt will come out easily. Afaik they are welded in to the box section on the chassis rail. So that will need to have all the spot welds drill out to remove that section to get the bolt out. Similar to the rear cradle mount bolts. If I'm correct it's a big bloody job! A

I was afraid of that aha, it certainly looks very difficult to get out. Ah well i guess i will find out soon, hopefully i can find someone to do it.

Yeah unfortunately I think Im correct. Just reading up on the same problems on the rear of an S13 as this is the same style bolt and fitted into the chassis the same. They had to drill a hole from the inside of the car through the floor to access the top of the broken stud. Then try and drill it out to remove it and bogy up an a/market bolt and washer to fit back in. I wouldn't tackle this yourself unless your very confident with the tools.

Good luck and hope Im wrong.

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
