cheers dude, its actually really realy theraputic stripping it all, im loving doing it, im just taking notes as i go, along with keeping everything i take off. Not chucked anything out yet. I hope so dude, lol least i know it will have been built by me/hodge and input from people on the forum, so i know its been done proper, as this car will be a keeper, do it once, do it right Me too bud, as above its sooooo theraputic, Only been one bolt thats caused me problems and that was the rear cam cover bolt closest to the firewall, that snapped with hardley any force on it, pretty crap imo. the rest we're just loosened with plus gas, the carefully cracked. I do need to pick up a T55 Hex to crack the head nuts off. And also a good torque wrench bar, so that i can properly torque spec everything when rebuilding it all, so all advice on what one to get will be useful guys

Yeah i'll have a few bodies rounds to either stablise the stand, and i've got some wood here to lock it into place if needed, when we go ahead and crack the crank nut. Hodge is bringing his tool up with him. Sure that will help big time. No hulk rage yet, which is surprising You rebuilding your engine also bud? Not yet, still working on stripping the engine, then getting it all cleaned, then i'll start thinking about Spec. Water pump, and gasket set all ordered, and will order most of my stuff on pay day.Prob from Dane. few things i wana do some searching on for price, but all looks good so far.

So managed to spend a few hours on the car today, and fully strip the Intake side, fuel rails, oil housing, etc. Below is some pics of what we did to day. Had a go at removing the pretruding stud from the cam cover, plus gas on it, we managed to get it turningthen bam, broke again, so looks as though it will need drilled and maybe tapped again. think i'll try welding a little nut on top, and see if it will pop out? Other than that, the intake side is far easier to remove that the turbo side, access to all bolts is pretty easy. Just need to find a allan key that suits the nuts on top to loosen the head from block, and also a crank tool to crack the nut. Getting there now. Ordered a gasket set, these are usually expensive as hell, but got one from my dealer for £289 in vat, thats with a 7% discount Plenum Intake off Harness hanging loose Inside the runners what looks to be oil in some of the connector holder Harness, this is one heavy beeatch! Fuel Rail Part of thr fuel rail system and off oil housing off Stripped All in all, im happy with how its been stripped just one bolt to get out which is causing a problem, engine looks in really good condition, just need to now, crack crank nut, crack head bolts, pull head, then totaly disasemble the entire block, and rebuild

dam you for staying in france, want a room mate??

big twins eh, Mmmmmm wonder what i'll build to match it race to see who finishes first, lol

rounded nuts or bolts are a nightmare and a pain in my ass, lol old school no impact gun here, just brute force with my guns No idea mate, will come down to funds i reckon, prob could have it built in under 3 months, funds available though, just gona take my time with it, and do what i can, still saving for wedding mind.

Bought it from Lee bud, so struck a deal with him. i got it picked up from work, Plan is to fully strip it, then rebuild from ground up, be like a new engine once we're done. Means i know its going to be able to handle what we through at it Intake side to be stripped soon

So got some more stuff done today, finally got the turbos off, those bottom nuts on the manifold are a pain in the ass to reach, but we're easier to get to than the ones that hold the turbo's to the manifold. Also pulled off the alternator and belt. Engine is now on the stand being held on by the M12X1.25 Grade8 bolts, with some washers and spacers. Up next is the Intake side which can't be as hard as the turbo side surely? Question regarding the crack, do i need a locking too? Turbo's off Twin Turbo's Loved taking it apart and finding more about the Engine,

cheers bud, will get another look at it tomorrow or sat, cam cover onepossibly could have a protruding spline, so im thinking to nuts on top of each other, locking them in, then using the bottom nut to turn and draw out the spline. The one on the turbo could be a little trickier

Swear tin has started, So as i was waiting for the wd40 to start working, i thought id loosen the bolts around the cam cover, does this loads of times, and even fitted the gasket to my white ca when i had it, so i knew what i was doing, all was going good then 1 nut was tight it was turning, then SNAP, bleep, bleep, bleep, this went on for about 60secs straight, the result, im going to have to try and drill it out, and retap the hole. So the other thing i was wrestling with was the last nut that holds the heat shield in, this was being a pain in my ass, again WD40 left it to soak in, but the nuts are so fragile now and soft i can forsee me losing the plot with them, lol BANG THIS HAPPENED Another nut dead that sits into the turbo So i left the turbos as i was getting annoyed, and soaked them in WD40 once again to help see if they will come loose, if not then i might need to apply some heat on them. I turned my attention to the water neck, this was swiftly taken out, and put to one side. also took the fan off, as it was getting in my way, So i left it for now, i still have the 3 bolts that are a pain to reach where the turbos meet the manifol to get off, im working through the blitz turbo thread for idea's on getting them out. Ps the nuts that have broken, is it possible to drill, then tap then?

Finally on a Stand, managed to shorten the rope, its still attached to the crane for saftey, just don't have the confidence to let the stand hold it, its a far old weight the bitch. Whoops Coolant Spillage, was a twat to clean up Started to pull out the Harness to give me access to the Turbo side, i'll leave as is, until i have the turbo side off. Then pull the entire harness out Started pulling off the turbo side now, with the small metal pipes. and the small rubber hoses that go along with it, blimey there is loads no wonder boost leaks can happen easy Now starting to get into the turbos, and finding some rusty bolts, soaked them in WD40 and came in for some food, oh and to calm down, little swearing was involved. This is where i am at present, i might spend a little more time on it, later, and get the turbo's off(They will be fore sale soon) will check em over anyway to make sure there is no play, and all ok?

cheers bud FUD! Have no idea yet bud, just looking at creating the engine first. Saved for later, to calm me down, rusted NUT is making pull my hair out

stock bud, be tastefully done, coilovers, wheels, job done

lets see what i can build?? Prob a 2bhp paper weight, thats after i lob it off a cliff, if it pee's me off, No parts a yet, i wana get it all Stripped out, then rebuilt so it can take a pasting She will be fast though No idea if i can do it bud, but im gona try see what happens?

i had a chain on it after that sling, was as small as we could get it, still wasnt high enough, i'll have another look tomorrow at it

well since its never been done, im sure i can do it here's hoping

Yeah think thats the boy, its the pin in the arm on 1ton? or half ton? Its something i can do at home, project, nuts, bolts, build myself, as much as id love a GTR its a new car, parts are expensive, wouldn't be able to do at home, plus i think im just drawn to the supra, i loved my old car, had so much fun in it. That i dunno, something i might look into now you have mentioned it. Be interesting to see results for sure

beat me to it, i was opening up photobucket to use

Well here goes im aiming to build this bad boy up to take a good 800bhp street car. With the Help of Hodge and Close friends im aming for an Epic build, best way to learn is to do it, yourself. The stripping part is the easy bit, the building of it, will take time. Its a full on project, build the engine, then get the car The engine is on a Pallet in the Garage now, some reason i cant get it high enough, to locate onto the stand, so i'll start stripping it on the pallet, to reduce weight, then get on the stand.
