well took us 2.5hrs a new record last weekend, hand tools and no hoist. but we have done it waaaaaay too many times.

there are actually at least 2 threads with tips try a search, I think one might be in the FAQ section. Just make sure when you search you do all post dates not just last 30 days.

Yes you can take the motor out with or without the gearbox, and through the bonnet or out the bottom by dropping the whole subframe.

When i removed mine i was under the impression that you had to remove the transmission first. Thats what the manual said anyhow.

There are a few things that can catch you out like the right side front cv shaft and how you have to push it out from inside the front diff...

Good luck

Mine took about 6 hours

There was a BBQ and beers though, and a lot of gathering elusive tools i forgot we would need

Should be around 3hrs, we didnt have a hoist either, just a crane and 5 strong guys

We dropped a gearbox out of a 2004 nissan patrol ute on friday.

not the most fun expirience I've ever had. We pulled the 4wd box off first to lighten the load. just make sure you drain all the oils, makes it a little bit lighter. And watch where you put your fingers - I got one crushed between the bellhousing and the flywheel - On the bright side, ill never do it again :P

Cheers

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
