In a recent rego inspection i was told of a couple of problems i have to fix. Most of them i have covered but there's a couple that have me stumped.

Firstly, engine mounts have to be changed. Car is an R32 GTS-T. Is this a hard job? Am i right in thinking the whole engine doesn't have to be copmletely removed?

Secondly, leaky sump gasket. Can this be done with engine and crossmember in place?

Also, as far as i'm aware there is no actual gasket, its a chemical sealant. Would Permatex Ultra Grey be the right stuff for the job?

Cheers guys

Simon did they give you a reason why the engine mounts had to be changed eg: they were cracked???

To change them you will have to lift the motor up (shouldn't have to come right out) along with the box using a crane and change them over whilst its up.

You can get to the sup easy enough with the car on a hoist and x-member still in place or with it up on jack stands :D

They gave no reason why they need to be changed. I haven't had a look yet but if i can't see anything obviously wrong with them then i'll try and avoid changing them.

As for the sump... that's good news! :D Any tips for doing the gasket? I never had to do one with a sealant before... only ever used gaskets.

If the sump has been leaking, it's possible the engine mounts have been affected by the leaking oil.

I suspect you are going to have to lift the engine a bit so you can manoeuvre the sump around the oil pickup. If you've lifted it up (and disconnected the mounts), may as well replace them.

Probably the most important point is that the surfaces must be CLEAN. So lots of clean rags and gallons of metho. And a tonne of patience.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
