So my mechanic and i was wondering if its possible to put back the rb25 engine in my R34 Skyline with the transmission still in the car... Asking because to drop the transmission is alot of extra work and we wanna know if they can be mated together when they are both in the car. I cant find any example or video on any forum or on youtube... only seeing guys who mate them out the car and THEN put it back in all at once. If anyone has done this before please let us know! Thanks

....Install is reverse of removal.

lol just like the workshop manual says.

the only things worth mentioning are dropping the rear of the gearbox by lowering (but not removing) the gearbox cross member bolts, will make getting to the top bolts much easier (either from above, or by using a set of long extensions while standing at the rear of the gearbox), and of course the engine has to be on the exact sample angle as the gearbox/input shaft when you get to the last couple of cm.

BTW I hope the mechanic is mates rates if they needed to get you to ask this...

Thanks for the advice guys, and yes the gear box is still in the car and the engine is ready to go back in.... we were wondering how hard it was (if possible) to mate the gear box and engine in this pariticular case rb25 in an r34 . But from what i am understanding from you guys is that yes it is possible @Duncan @Ben C34

Okay guys... thank you all very much we were just concerned as SOMTIMES it can  be impossible depending on the car and its space available in the engine bay. Still learning everyday its also my first time and my first build ??

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
