im going crazy, the engine and gearbox are apart far enough that the engine can be turned over but it still wont come out. its stuck on something, i know this sounds stupid but it looks like the the plate between the engine and gearbox is somehow attached to the gearbox so the flywheel/clutch wont let go.

Just keep wiggling it. Had similar trouble getting the gearbox off an SR20 once, seemed like no matter what we did it just wouldn't come out. Eventually we got it though. It's a hell of a lot easier with a transmission stand and a hoist glare.gif

With a crane you can take the engine and box out together. This is the way its generally done if they both need to come out. MUCH easier to work with the stuff on the ground than under the car. Mind you it is a bitch even getting the gtst box out. You need to support the box and not slide it with the box weight hanging on the car or you won't ever get it out.

Forged pistons all the way. Stock rods will be fine.

New main & rod bearings, probably best to go new water/oil pumps too.

If you are planning to see higher revs then have a crank collar fitted, as well as a sump baffle kit.

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
