This sounds interesting and I demand more information/story!

Not sure on the full story how the crash happend, but for the damage the car has come off very good

thats how it turned up this morning, doesnt show how bad the damage is, both rails are bent towards the passenger side, the gearbox end is 36mm pushed back then its ment to be, the suspension K - frame has flexed enough to crack the welds on the passenger side, the whole front gaurds/bumper/reo/headlights/radiator/condensor/thermofan's are toast, and it needs a new engine loom harness ($2250)

took me 8 hours of work to get it from that stage to engine on a mounting frame and the quote sheets done up.

Today = epic fail. Checked pickup in the sump this morning all fine. Put a new sump gasket on anyway. Took the clutch off of the old motor and its pretty much down to the fasteners which sucks. Also the new motor is from an auto 31 so need the spigot bearing so the box will go on. Tried to get a clutch today but the only place that had one was Bursons in Slacks Creek and they shut at 12. So I missed out.

Sold my old school volks though so that pays for the motor and clutch.

Plan of attack now is get the clutch and everything for Thursday then chuck the motor in Thursday and then finish bolting everything up on Saturday after work. I am disappoint.

thats a shame dude

I tried to get on to you to come help but you ignored me :thumbsup:

you'll need to get the auto spigot out, that will be heaps fun. Check it out: http://wiki.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?t...bearing_removal

I recommend the dynabolt (with weight) method. M20 dynabolt for an auto i think.

No cruise for you on saturday then? Unless you and dan take dans car...

You probably should buy a button clutch or somethign since its going to be a drifter. Hit up kudos during the week, he can prolly get you a spigot bush as well

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
