Keeper

Head off today, and timing belt. The collets in the pistons I placed there after head off, as you can see a lot of shit on the pistons

Seams I work best at night, once you start there isn't much point in stopping... Bed time now tho

james can make them up $50 each + shipping

Got into it a bit more today, moving to Melbourne next Sunday so want to check out state of the pistons before I go away, that way I know how much I need to save up

some of the boys have had them out in 4 hrs total time. thats good, i read a lot before and knew what to do and when

i wonder if we could get a couple people and get a shop to buy it in legally and make copies pending our purchase after

this is cool, but its in canada, anyone know any shops here that make them for the front? http://www.rocketz.net/catalog/r32-skyline...ser-p-3563.html a three piece that bolts up... its about $200 AUD before shipping

i have the cable and nissan fast software, good fun, also use http://www.techdiag.co.uk/obdscantech/web/pg002.html this one it has a balance test and couple other nicks and tricks this nistune looks good, looks a way for me to keep the usage of consult with $300 cost for hardware before the tune as opposed to $1000+ for most what have you done to avoid corrosion etc while awaiting for the engine to go back in and run?

this way seamed really easy coming out and i have been told lining box and engine up in can be a bitch so i will try back in one go too

the blue thing to bolt the engine onto? borrowed it from a 180 owner, without it the job would have been near impossible, or are you refeering to the rear wheels jacked up on wood and forklift tyne extenders??? trolley is cool tho would instructions and details be useful you thing guys?

hadnt done this on a gtr before, about 6-8 hrs work getting ready, 1 hr bolting up engine and 30 mins pulling it out

please do

what about the day to day charging cycle of the battery?

is it? know anyone who can get me a a side frame support rail? i sort of had a couple people jump on me when sitting on the side and it bent it

i split the tailshaft in two pulling the motor out but forgot to mark on the shaft with paint so i can bolt it back in line the same as before with out any rotation, will this be a problem???

oh we actually had to lower the engine part way and go off the front hook on the bar otherwise it wasnt coming out!!!

i imagine the sump would so! notice we 'jacked' the rear and front to get clearance for the gearbox to travel under the car, we had to jack the front regardless because the suspension hit the crane for searches im gonna keyword this; GTR ENGINE REMOVAL RB26 RB26DETT hehe gonna work on a guide using pics from the workshop manual as well to put something easy together soon, probably as it goes back in and i'll take photos of the assembly going back together on a side note I was missing the nut at the bottom of the left coilover, f**king disgusted the last 2-3 tyres stores that have fitted tyres and looked at my continuous misalignment problem have not noticed this

sometimes nissan pumps dont like being run after picking up crap from the tank, try reverse the wiring to the pump motor so it blows fuel back into the tank, then put in fresh fuel, wait 10mins for it to settle and drive, seen this on skylines, pulsars, sentras and 180s before, and each time this works

No story yet, but here are photos of the box and engine coming out the top enjoy

why run it under the car and not through the cabin ???

out of curisosity dont dry cell batteries need different charger types?

would running the vent pipe out the grommets in the boot floor be fine?

circled in red is the bolts i have been trying so far

if i undo the allen key types willit just pull out like the front drive shaft when the caliper is pulled out?

I'm having a prick of a time undoing the 4 bolts holding the prop shaft onto the output of the gearbox, and ideas? they are the 17mm bolts, already tried air gun while Sloane was pushing the other way on the nut with a spanner... driving me mad!!!!
