ok guys, just finished dummy fitting the engine in the engine bay, what a farking task, as its been out for about 8 months now.
Ok its in and sitting on the engine mounts, however, the front is sticking up in the air far too much, and the bonnet is no wear near closing. I'm using the std RB26 engine mounts, and i've tried to fit them and the rb30 ones in all sort of combo's but the only ones that fit r the std rb26 ones. I had a quick look underneath, and it seems to me that part of the sump, is resting on the cross member, has anyone dealt with an rb26/30 in a gtr before? Oh and in regards to if the dumps clear the firewall, yes they did, only just however, as i've removed the aircon, the drain pipe that comes out of the firewall was removed, and the dumps JUST fitted down there, i had to force it a bit to get the pass. engine mount in the hole, but it fits.
heres the pics i took:
