It isn't many bolts, but you would need a crane. The engine is too heavy to just lift out. :P

Personally I would unbolt the gearbox first, just to make it easier. If you are doing it on stands you will need to pull both engine and box together. ;)

How hard?

Not hard. But depending on what you consider hard?

Have you ever worked on a car before? I assume no because you are asking a simple question. So in this case for you an engine swap will be hard.

Best to pull out box & gearbox in one go - loads easier, and if you're tight remove the A/C compressor and cable tie it aside but leaving all the hoses attached (so you don't need to regas the system), do the same for the power steering pump as well.

Unclip all the sensor plugs, etc..

motor out done.

leave the heater hoses until the engine is on the crane, easier to get to.

Just make sure you take time and don't tell yourself you can just remember where every bolt goes because that will be a headache and a half when the new motor is going in

its taken scotty a month to do mine

;)

It can be done, but... just... gah. Enough little differences in my GT shell that scotty has shown me over the GTT one to make me jump on the 'don't do it' bandwagon.

It is legal to do so, at least in VIC, as I have done it.

You will need to at least have R33 GTST/R32 GTR brakes up front.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
