Hi

I need the help of someone who has removed a GTR box before. I have gotten to the stage of removing the box, however when I got to rotate the box, to lower the starter motor bump I can only rotate 20-30 degrees. Then the box starts to bind up in the tunnel with the box starting to hit on the left side and the metal where the gear selector hole is on the right.

The guides indicate to rotate from anywhere from 45 to upside down. Do I need to lower the box/engine more? If so how far, do you just let it drop until it stops wanting to drop? Also do you undo engine mounts or is only undoing the intercooler pipes required?

Thank you for anyone that can assist.

Peter

AFAIK the floorpan is the same on the 32, and no need to undo engine mounts or intercooler pipes. They're an utter bastard to get out....IIRC i lowered the rear of the engine as far as it would go, and had to be more brutal than I was comfortable with.

Yeah no need to undo engine mounts.

You need to support the box to the point where there not to much weight on the input shaft so as you rotate and lower at the same time it will slide off the shaft. Can sometimes need a little help to get started with a big screw driver, but be ready cause when it does let go,

Thanx I will give it a try. I was unsure how far you drop it. Sounds like you let it swing till it stops. Wasn't sure if it would crush something going that far. I can rotate and move it around easy enough, but couldn't get the clearance to rotate it enough. Not sure if I had to remove anything else besides the gear shifter as it is the collar where the gear shifter sits that is binding up in the tunnel.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
