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.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
