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

ok im looking for help not smart arse comments, yes i could take it to the shop im not retarded. the idea is A. so i save some money! and B. i can do with the experience of learning as most of you guys complain " oh the new guys to imports dont even know a there way around a car they just take it to a mechanic and say make my car fast" well herei am trying to learn how to do it myself. right o

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,

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.

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.

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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
