In two weeks i will be dropping out my engine to do a few things!

I have trust dump's/front to go on

Timing belt

radiator hoses

going to try remove hicas shit beside the engine

few oil leaks to fix

front cv boots

general oil changes also

few gauge sensors to go in also

what else would be ideal to do while its all out??

now i only have the actual dumps and no bolts etc. what else would be an idea to get while i am doing them?

i'm going to drop the whole motor and gearbox out, as i see thats an easy way to do it. any other ideas? as i have access to a hoist and i'm going to be doing all this with my mate. over a 3 day long weekend!

i have a 32 gtr with a 34gtr getrag box in it.

Cheers

Andrew

ull find a few vacum lines being all hard.. change whats distorted...

u wont need to change ur tuirbo dump bolts.. not mandatory.. but should if u want.. change ur turbos to something steel wheel if u have $$$

and get a Tbelt kit and not just a tbe;lt. as the pulleys get noisey too..

also exhast gaskets...

i did mine a while ago. taking the engine out seems like more effort but uve got a few other things to do too.

good luck with it.

while you got the sump off clean all the sludge out of it. Years and years of old oil turns into a gluggy goo...can block pick up and cause all sorts of problems you dont want to deal with. while sump is off pull pressure relief valve (one bolt) out of bottom of oil pump and clean. if that gets stuck, no oil pressure.

its a pretty fresh motor, built before i bought the car over from japan. but i will be checking out whats been done in the sump.

around 500hp i'm aiming for with the dumps installed :( so there is a good set of puffers on there already!

i thought lastnite about it also.

fuel filter is on the list now!

but thanks guys you've added a few more :D

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
