Because if they are coming out with the cams to get the head off, I may as well have SOME reference. :-\

Aircon pump, bracket, bolts all in good condition, the pump works fine. $50 come get it if you want it. Give ya the condenser for 25 bux too if anyone wants it.

OK condition clutch fan.
Free to good home. LOL.


Got to here:

Before I decided I was gonna pull it all out.
LOL.

>_< D'OH!

OK guys, seeing as I've gotta rip the intake and exhaust off to do the headgasket.

Should I just convert it to a single?

Or seeing as I have the stock head gasket, etc - just chuck the twins back in?

Stay twins, and it's not hard to do in the car, but I highly suggest pulling the sump off too and checking the oil pickup isn't blocked, which means pull the engine ;)

haha, yes.. keep the engine...

Maybe the fond memories of pulling the engine out. :P

Nah gonna yank it anyway, may as well save for an engine stand, and if anyone has an engine crane, feel free to let me know.
Gonna yank the gear box and engine in one hit.
May as well do the clutch and gears at the same time.

The car has been stripped right down to the rad support to get the engine out.
I may as well just unbolt what I can of the rad support.

Gonna have fun re-aligning the front chassis if I bang the donk into it.
LOL

I wanna pull the box and engine out together, It's gonna be hell to get the bell housing bolts undone for me - so I'll drop the crossmember and lift her out.

I realised something thisarvo.
I've pulled almost everything out of the engine bay just to do a headgasket.

DERP.

So, yeah, engine will come out, and box, gonna build 'em and slot them back in.
May have to reassemble the front end a bit while the engine is out - may have to change her storage location in the next year.

Okey doke - all the Alarm systems are completely cut out of the GTR.
All the aircon system is out bar the main cables and heater bar setup.

Pulled everything away from the front of the car so the engine and 'box can be slid forwards to split them.
Just have to disconnect all hoses, plugs etc to be able to yank the donk out.

Gonna need help to put it all back together eventually though.


Anyway.
2 AM, and I need sleepz.

Everything is coming out of the engine bay for a clean and replacement if necessary.

If I wanted to JUST do the head gasket, I would have paid to have it done.

Everything is being stripped back to the metal, I wanna make it all clean, reroute a few things, etc.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
