Not recommended!!! Don't use a cutting disk, or grinding disk on aluminum.

You will have to use something with a metal blade/saw etc.

Hmm ok but after the cut all should be ok????

You are kidding right?

As long as you cut enough out (and weld up right) the first time.

People tend to be cautious and not take enough off the first go, a fair amount does need to be removed

ive posted pics before of mine

Mine was done professionally (i bought the engine with the sump conversion done), but i still had to trim a bit off the drivers side of the sump as it was very close to the cross member. There seems to be a fair bit of meat there.

The guy who did mine obviously used a toothed blade, as you can see the cutting marks. Id be cautious about using a 1mm disk as you have to cut accurately.

I just finished making one fit into a 180sx and hooked in with a 9 inch grinder with a cutting disk to take the bulk off. Then the 5 inch to clean it up and then a flapper wheel to make it look legit. weld up the holes or use 32 (from memory) welsh plugs. Make sure you remove the bearing shells and axel sleave first to make it easier to cut through.. The 180 i also had to recess the front of it for the sway bar but i think on a skyline it fits ok.
