Hey mate yes it is possible to run in 2wd using a 2wd sump BUT it might requires a modification to the 2wd sump around the oil pickup area im not 100% sure (just check if the pickup is in same position on 2wd and 4wd blocks and if so then your good to use it).

Next u need to take the cv joints out of the front axles (closest to the hubs) and rebolt the stub axles back into the hubs as these hold the wheel bearings in and then just leave the front driveshaft out and bolt the gearbox back on the motor as per normal.

I also think u need 2 lower brackets for the bottom bellhousing bolts but not really a necessity.

thats about all, but it will work i run a 2wd rb30 bottom end in my 4wd stagea and its fine :D

yeah mate the other motor ive got has the brackets it still complet basically just gonna swap the manifolds over and do a timing belt change and service so as far as the oil pick up goes just use the 1 in the r33 s1 rb25det>???

that, have you got msn

??? just wandering if i could give you a call before i go charging out the back and start puttin it all together

just get a sump adaptor and bolt it in.

    • My first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913
    • Here it is nice and clean and for shits n giggles he's the clearly structural piece of trim it was holding down. 😬    
    • A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.
    • Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.
    • Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
