260Rs front suspension removal - help!

Hi all,

I need your help, just removing my standard 260rs suspension to MCAS and have bumped into a dead-end, the rears are done but I am having issues with the front, all bolts are removed however on the bottom I have what looks like a cover, I can't remove it. I've removed the nut on the bottom but can not see the other side. Please see picture attached. any help please?

 

Thanks

David

I think Duncan is saying that the picture doesn't necessarily show too much as it's too close.. if you give a picture of the whole area so we can identify what is what, people can help..
alternative to that, where are you located ? A kind person may be nearby that can drop in point a few things out and be on their way.. their is definitely a lot of helpful peeps here from my short and limited experiences :)

Hi all, so I was suppose to getting Di e by my mechanic but his booked out... so I thought I'll try again... same issue I can't find the other end of the bolt.

I've taken the nut off on the other end but struggling to find the bolt. it looks like a cover and I've tried to lightly tap it out but there is no movement.

OK, got it now. You've got the nut off, but the shock is still in place, and you are trying to remove the "bolt" that the bottom of the shock is on.

So it's actually a stud, not a bolt, and it's not meant to come off.  Just pry lightly between the shock and the upright to push the shock off the stud. A big screwdriver or small pry bar will do it, dead easy.

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
