yike! so will i need to take off exhausts(or losen it) and other stuff that mounts the motor to a fixed position? eg,intercooler lines,hoses and radiator hoses too? and rolling sounds like a good challenge for a one person job it got lol

thanks for the fast reply mate but only 60K when got it and series 2 but i do see sparks at nite with cover off,i epoxied them up best i could,elec taped up the rails that hold them and put in some small rubber hose between the coil pak and metal on side of coil pak holder. Id like to get spitfires but could be a waste of money better spent in a computer. can someone please send a picture of the crack they have found as i didnt see any but gave areas a cote of epoxy regards brett

dont u need to adjust the idle with wires disconected from the throttle to 650-850 then turn the cars off plug wires back in and its all calibrated to that? i know if my idle isnt set to the computer it hunts?? usually on TPS cars u need to do this so cold start and warm start work properly

Never done it before on a skyline96 gtst but is the hardest bit the pulley or something else? just worried the cams may move when i take the belt off( so do i need to hold them in place?) due to spring preasure? ive also been quoted under 50$ for a water pump from auto pro but thought water pumps were dear for my car?

you can take the gearbox out of a r33 gtst 96 without having to undo engine mounts or jack up motor to silly angles as with some cars as there is not enuf room near the firewall to rectract gearbox from engine? i have many problem with other cars and almost easier to take motor out for clutch replacement help would be greatly appreciated

hi guys Ive been a avid reader for ages and your forums have helped me countless times but like so many who have that problem when the add a little more boost and it all goes wrong....i am the same story goes got my grandma sky did a intercooler(blitz) and full exhaust with big dump pipe(blitz) can couldnt handle more that half throttle or blah blah blah, no power,cough and sputter like i see post and post again epoxied up coils like ive read and put gap from 1mm to .8 and now .66 but my car still has the problem most times after being frustarated i did the worst thing i could imagine (to a old school hot rodder) and advance the timing( i thought more cylinder preasure would need less timing) but im worried the spark is blowing out too and presto the car ran ****smooth **** my car boosts 9.6 or so and i cannot get it any lower since the exhaust and intake but im worried it says about 30 degrees advanced at idle(850 revs) I dont hear ping but with the turbo its hard because of the loudness of the turbo(std turbo) and road factors are the posts about in-accurate timing correct eg x2 reading? and is going down to say .5 on plugs wize or will i lose power to much? i never planned to go to wild with this car as i have a rally car and othe crazies(so no computer if i can help it)just exhaust,intercooler and 10 psi so questions are .5 plug gap and 30 timing is right?(i know its ment to be 15) any advice would be greatly appreciated
