Hi everyone...I am a newbie to this site and to Skylines, please bear with me if I sound stupid somtimes.

On to my first question

1. Is there a step by step guide on transmission removal and clutch replacement anywhere?

In the US we don't have many skylines so nobody knows anything about them that is why I am here.

Thanks

Not afaik, but they're not really any different to any other manual RWD car.

In a nutshell:

* Remove interior trim around shifter.

* Unbolt steel bit that hold the shifter in place.

* Pop circlip out of the bottom of the shifter, then the shifter will come out.

* Go under the car, undo the tailshaft (both on the GTR), remove speedo cable/clutch slave and the plug or two (can't remember) that's on top of the box.

* Support the gearbox (we have a gearbox stand but a jack with a stable top will do)

* Remove bellhousing bolts.

* Slid gearbox directly back, and out of the clutch setup.

* Unbolt the pressure plate from the flywheel. The clutch plate is in the middle.

* Replace clutch/pressure plate and machine flywheel as required. If you get oil on the surfaces, clean them with brake cleaner.

* Put the clutch back together, trying to centre the clutch plate over the hole in the centre of the flywheel. Note that the flywheel and pressure plate (iirc) only go on one way, so don't be alarmed if the holes don't line up the first time :D Just keep rotating them until it all works.

* Reverse the rest of the process to put everything else back together.

That's from memory after doing half a dozen Skyline clutches, it should be pretty close :)

Edit: Just looked at the site in your sig. Hell yeah :)

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • 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
