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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
