Problems With Pulling Out Engine!

Having troubles getting out an engine from my R33 GTS-T. Firstly, the car is situated on a thirty degree slope, and there is no place to have it flat. I am trying to sell it to someone, but I don't want to give them the entire wreck for the price of just the engine ($2,000), as there is still a fair bit of valuable stuff in it (automatic transmission, differential, brakes, etc).

The biggest issue is that I need the car gone in eight days. The council doesn't like a wreck parked on the road...

Would pulling it out with an engine crane be too dangerous? Any other ways I could do this?

yeah that angle would not be safe to run an engine crane on.

depending on what they want in the wreck you could cut the front off. but I think easiest would be to drop the front subframe and get them to lift the shell off leaving just the subframe andmotor on ground.

to do this you need to undo gearbox cross member, 8 engine subframe bolts. top shock mounts. upper control arms, brake lines and abs sensors. that should do it.

Thanks Duncan.

After I did that, what would be the best way to get the engine onto a ute? The only thing I can think of to lift something that heavy is an engine crane.

yeah could do....hope you've got big friends tho.

you can get utes with an engine crane on the back.

but the best way would be to put it somewhere reasonably flat before you start....current location sounds pretty dangerous to me

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
