s14 frame Stud Broken!! need help, - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

When lowering the subframe one of the studs on the rails broke in half. I need to know how to fix this problem and where to buy that particular stud. !!

You need to cut the stud out of the frame and find someone parting a car to cut one out of. Then you'll need to reweld the donor stud in. There is no "replacement" part available from Nissan for this.

Is there any way to cut from the top and take off ? And find another stud to replace it with.
Others have been telling me to do that but want to see other inputs about if thats possible?

what jr_ss said, i dont think there is really any other way to do it without compromising the structure of the stud itself because it's actually part of the chassis.

1. Remove interior, figure out where subframe stud is
2. use hole saw to gain access to top of stud, Either knock it out from the bottom, or drill it out.
3. replace with a new stud/bolt of the same size, just go on mcmaster-carr and find one. Make sure it is a high grade bolt.
4. tack weld the top for security
5. use a torque wrench when tightening, and a new nut

All of this information is from the internet and I have no idea if it is actually the correct procedure.

take the stud, or corresponding nut to a hardware store and test...
