hey,

just curious if any other members have and stratagies as to seperating the output shaft from the engine.. engine is supported by crane atm with all bellhousing bolts undone, with a jack supporting the gearbox. The studs at the end of the block that stick into the gearbox are also protruding and there is about a 10mm gap between the box and the block, but she just won't seem to budge anymore ;) any idea's would be helpful :(

cheers guys,

have you disengaged the clutch retainer ?

Normally thats the easy part...its putting the motor back in and aligning the shaft through the clutch and into the spigot bearing thats the hard part.

Stick a big arse screw driver between block and bellhousing and start prying...nothing should break. You'll find that after a small amount of movement, a big amount will follow and she should pop right out...unless there is something still attached somewhere.

You know maybe youve got too much pressure from the jack supporting the gearbox and its not level...making it hard for it to slide out as it should.

Lucky it wasent a issue like mr dirt garage suggested, they can be a pain. Havent had to do it on a skyline, but did come accross a pull type on a late model Pajero at work, was a real pain!

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
