It sucks, but i can fix it. I am looking for pictures of the inside of the frame rail after i cut out the trunk. Plan is to pop the old one out and just make/get a bolt to replace it. I just dont want to start cutting until i know exactly what i need to cut. So yeah pictures or past experiences is needed!

There are only nuts and these thick plates that hold the subframe in. not sure what bolt you're telling about. Also s13?? S14?

i believe hes talking about the 4 studs that hang down from the chassis.

Well im back once again with some updates. I caught hell with a broken/stripped subframe stud and had to operate.
1st- i had to remove back seat and use a 2" hole saw to gain access to stud.
2nd- soaked in pb blaster for a week until i could get some help.
3rd- i used a torch and heated the bolt head while my friend Danny from Sumospeed beat the s*** out of it with a sledge hammer from below... After 10 min it popped out.
4th- I scored a fresh stud and beat it back in place until it was seated.
