S13 Subframe replacment? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I did a search and still cant find any concrete answers wether or not you can just unbolt and bolt in your rear subframe? I see them for sale on ebay sometimes from JDM imported cars with LSD's and different control arms for a decent price but i'm still unsure is you can just replace it. My subframe has a crack in it about 5 inches long and near the center of the crack there is a hole there. Can you just replace the subframe or is that another reason to just give up on my S13 and get another shell.

It takes about 4 bolts, the strut bolts and the brake lines and the thing comes right off, I removed mine when I installed the kaaz two way and all my toe, ruca's rods, pines and alum bushings, I also cleaned it too, 200k of a rear pinion seal leak left things pretty crusty.
