Try maccas... Lol

Check websites of retailers you want to apply for. Most don't use seek, they accept applications through their websites. That's how I got a job at Supercheap Auto :)

thanks, whats involved in working at supercheap?

Yeah. The gearbox/driveshaft etc. are all stock still (1990 ADM) so it looks like the best thing to do is buy a late model turbo halfcut and take the gearbox/diff off that.

Other than that the mechanic said it was a very healthy car, very straight body etc.

He couldn't believe the price I got it for :blink:

or use the camry gearset I posted earlier

you want to buy a halfcut to take the gearbox out? :blink:

bahaha.

Nah, I need the diff and all that shit too. Then sell off the rest of the halfcut and get most of the money back.

It's the best way to do it IMO.

Find me a gen 3 gearbox, driveshaft and diff then :( I bet you won't be able to. A halfcut is like $2500 and I can sell the engine alone for like $2000.

no, what you will end up with is a halfcut sitting in your garage for a bit over a year while cheap fuckers vulture shit off you. Most nga's who you think want to swap an engine will also want the gearbox and drivetrain to go with it, just like you do.

But hey, if you wanna sink 2.5k and not see the 2k you intend to make back in your pocket for a while then go nuts. If I were you, I'd spend a little extra and grab just the stuff you need.

Just sayin from experience.

    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?  
    • I did say no low balling (Insert copy and paste article from Motor mag with complete history of R32 GTR development and racing history here)
