Unless you have a hoist, take it out the top after you remove the gearbox. With one jack and a couple of stands, you would never get the car body high enough to get the engine out from under it

when taking the engine out the top can i take it out with the box attatched ? what would the problem be doing it with the box on ?

Can be done with the box attached, just have to stuff around a bit to get the angles right to clear the tunnel and radiator support.

I'd highly recommend doing a google search to find the R32 service repair manual. It shows you step by step how to remove and re-install the motor aswell as other general service procedures.

Cheers,

i have a hoist in my garage... would it be best for me to drop it all out the bottom when the time comes for me to pull my motor? i was planing on taking it out the top, but if its easyer which im guessing it would be as there would be less to deal with when it comes to the Gearbox. dose all the suspension in the front end come out with it?

I once lifted the whole front of a GTR I had with the engine crane and slid the motor/subframe/gearbox assembly under it on the jack and bolted it up lol.

Its do-able either way but you prob wanna take it out the top way if you dont need to remove the box.

I pulled mine out through the top. Manifolds and turbos can stay on. Took me about half/to and hour to take it out, but i already had the box out. I had trouble with the RHF drive shaft and couldnt get it to pop out of the diff. Ended up cutting the inner CV boot clamps on that side, popping out the circlip and removing the shaft from the CV housing.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
