R32 Gtr Engine Install

[SiR_RB]

I may be dropping a fresh rb26 into an r32 gtr shell, engines out of the car At the moment, new engine that will go in will be ready to drop In

How hard is it to put in and connect things like front drive shafts, gearbox, mounts etc etc?

Thinking of doing it here at home but not sure I can manage this task

Anyone know where and how much someone would charge to drop it in?

Thanks

Gear box can be a bit of a mission for one person being very rear heavy, gearbox jack would help alot if ur by yourself

The nuts that bolt the engine mounts the the engine frame can be quite tediouse as there isn't much finger room to thread them in

Front shafts aren't too hard, most difficult part would be getting the splined part of the shaft through the hub as you'll need to pull the hub out to make room to slide it in... then there's 6 bolts on the passenger side which are pretty easy to do if the vehicle is jacked up

If you can remove the front radiator support and attach your gearbox to your engine, you might be able to drop it in as one piece and that would make your life a hell of alot easier if you are working off the ground.

U will be ok. If u can change GTR turbo's u can fit an engine. Same same but heavier

gearbox is already in the car, and engine bay has everything ready to go

decided to give it to a mate whos done it many times before to put it in for me, plus using his hoist will help alot.
