Is ot possible to get the box out without taking the turbo dumps off?

I was going to remove them but the nuts at the bottom are all rusted and ceased,

I only have one more bolt on the top of the bellhousing to go, has anyone got the left Hand bolt from the right hanx side or am I attempting the impossible?

If you remove the cover/plate on the steering rack directly underneath where the exhaust crosses it you can tilt the engine down a bit further if you have aftermarket dumps/front pipes. Easier to get to said bolt. For top of box bolts use a couple of long extensions and run them up from near the gear stick- I use a universal joint adaptor straight off the socket to create a little more space to undo the bolts. Don't forget if you have a pull clutch to release the bearing before sliding it off. And don't forget it's bloody heavy.

Thanks guys. Yep big ass stainless dumps. Got the 1st one with the long extention and uni joint at the socket end.

Wil give the last one another go tomorrow after work as I wanna the wornout twin plate off for a rebuild.

Heavy!! That's an understatement.

Well we got the gearbox out with the dumps still on so thats a bonus, and another bonus (I Hope) was the twin plate I found in there.

Yeah its buggered and slipping but I'm hoping its rebuildable, Anyone heard of a ATS Carbon Twinplate?

Has two fully carbon plates that sit over a toothed hub on a Custom looking flywheel.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
