[riley]

does anyone have a guide on the correct procedure to remove a series 2 rb25det engine from a r33 in the correct manner. i can pull an engine no problem but i just want make sure i dont run into any snags along the way. as i only have 2 days to do it.

thanks

I don't imagine it would be too difficult mate

Remove gearbox, disconnect exhaust, plumbing, wiring loom, fuel lines, coolant hoses and radiator for more room

Remove the nuts from the engine mount studs and pull it out ...

I'm sure there's a couple of other little things but that's the most of it

Drain all the fluids first too except clutch and brake of course

Do a GTR, now that's a pain in the ar$e lol

takes to workshop?

maybe you can also help yourself though by doing some research first though...

yep its for a gtr but it should still be fairly similar

pretty straight forward, unplug everything wiring loom related, remove intake piping/intercooler/vac lines/radiator/clutchfan or thermos, unbolt and tie out of the way AC compressor and power steering pump, remove gearbox bolts (ones up the top are dream boats), attach engine crane, undo engine mounts from cross member, check you have everything free/clear/unplugged and remove it keep in mind the engine must come forward to get the input shaft from the gearbox out of the clutch.

i have been searching all day all i can find is gtr manuals. thats why i posted here,

[75coupe]

not much dif between gtst and gtr and any engine for that matter when it comes to removal...

I have just rebuilt my engine and i couldnt find a written procedurethis is what i did.

Disconnect battery Remove Exhaust dump pipe to tail pipe drop engine coolant and remove radiator

Remove plastic around shifter and remove shifter cover & remove g/stick

Disconect neutual and reverse switch connections also remove clutch slave cylinder and tape it togeather so it doesnt leak zip tie it out of the way

Undo tailshaft but dont remove Jack and support rear of engine so it doesnt hit the steering rack get it a low as you can as i had to use very long extension bars to get to the bellhousing bolts remove transmission with tailshaft connected so not to loose oil. Also keep engine supported.

Disconnect Engine wiring loom oil switch steering switch air cond wire. Undo heater hoses turbo to air filter brake booster vac hoses fuel lines disconnect pwr steering res and drain

Unbolt and remove pwr steering pump and braket. Also unbolt air cond pump and bracke zip tie out of the way.

Undo engine mount nuts and remove engine

refit engine in revese order

I hope i havnt forgotten anything

Forgot on my last post

ALSO TAKE A COUPLE OF ENGINE BAY PHOTOS BEFORE YOU START THAT WAY YOU HAVE A REFERENCE FOR INSTALLING THE ENGINE AGAIN

i find pulling the box out with the motor is much faster. unless you have a hoist with rattle gun and massive extensions to undo gearbox bolts.

mines a rb2530 with custom mounts and getting the the gearbox bolts are some what impossible.

Yep I pulled mine out with the box on.

[gotRICE?]

The ones i hae done we pulled them with the box attatched. Much faster Just dont forget the clutch line

But as suggested its the same as every other engine. Unplug plugs, un-do hoses.

If its a stock turbo, then removing the turbo and dump pipe in one piece is highly recommended SO much easier than undoing and doing up those assf**k dump pipe bolts lol. It can be done.

Easy job easier to remove power steer and ac from the block pull off anying connecting it then jack under box remove the bracket then remove nuts from engine mounts 3 hour job if you stuff around

[JonnoHR31]

as said leave the gearbox attached. leave p/s, air con and clutch slave all attached to their lines and unbolt them from motor/box so you dont have to deal with any of the fluids. make sure you pull it out somewhere with plenty of height clearance as you'll need to get a fair bit of angle to get the box out aswell.

best bet for getting it done quickly would be to find someone on here local to you and pay them with beer to give you some guidanc. once you know what your doing you can go from complete running car to motor on the ground with box off in around 2 hours working at a steady pace, rushing just leads to losing skin....

i loved my SR20 use to have the motor & box out within 1 1/2 hours. when i changed the clutch i use to rip the motor with box out together done in like 5 hours and driving LOL

the RB does take longer but once you do it a couple of times it gets faster

[toffy]

if your pulling just the engine out , get the top starter motor bolt first .... oh i hate that bolt!!

[Bsa]

they both suck equal haha gear box out so much easier
