I've spent hours attacking the bolt on the top right of the gearbox. Far out.. Looks like i'll wind a bolt back in on the bottom and take it out with the gearbox.

All i want to do is change the sump. I cant remember but do i have to take the clutch/flywheel off to get the sump off? Its the first time im taking the motor out by myself.

Thanks.

First of all get the car as high as you can, To get that bolt get a jack to take the weight of the gearbox, undo your 4 14mm gearbox mounts and lower the gear box just far enough that it doesn't pinch the rubber drive shaft seal.. This will give you enough room to either get a ratchet spanner in there OR with the help of a mate come from the back of the gearbox with a heap of extensions and an elbow or two.. You guide the socket onto the bolt while your mate uses a ratchet to undo it from the back of the box... Know what I mean?

My 32 Gtr took about 8 hours! Was a massive pita no way engine would come out with box attached I'm told the Japanese do it in an 1.5 hour period but dropping it out from underneath, my last one was quicker but had to take it easy with this one but I would never call a Gtr an easy job though

Thanks. Thats exactly what ive been trying. I've taken the engine mount nuts off aswell, but still cant get the socket anywhere near the bolt. Might need to use some 3/8 extensions instead of 1/2".

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
