Going to have the engine out while a new bottom end is bolted onto it, Im going to replace the cambelt and the engine mounts while its out, but is there anything else worth doing at all?  ________________________________________ Lots of Nissans, two 306 GTI-6's. They are catching up! |

Check the top engine mount fixing in the cup on the chassis as its very prone to cracking, it's a much easier fix if the engine is out of the way.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I think Ill swerve the relooming and mocal but the rest of it sounds like good advice. Where can I get a solid pulley from then?  ________________________________________ Lots of Nissans, two 306 GTI-6's. They are catching up! |

Finally ..........! Got the car back last week - I made the classic mistake of telling my mate I didnt need it in a hurry - he has a scaffold firm and was letting one his mechanics do it when he had time, unfortunately ever vehicle they own seems to have broken over the past few months He had problems getting the engine out (reckoned it had to come out of the bottom but didnt have a big enough gap between his ramps), then had to destroy the alternator to get it off, also found the subframe mounts were knackered but other than that it wasnt too bad - he said he had a lot of trouble getting the clutch release fork back on but did it eventually - he also managed to keep the cam timing pretty much intact, which Im chuffed about Got it back and the engine mounts have made a lot of difference, the front of the car feels like one solid piece and the grip is astonishing, it really is pick a speed and go for it now. Clutch needed replacing after all which is disappointed only 18 months after it last got done, did cambelt as well (more $$$) but Im very pleased to get it back (just before the tax runs out) Also found a man who makes compliant uprated engine mounts and got some fitted to my 350Z - they are excellent so we are going to be talking about doing some for the 6 soon as well, its worth doing ________________________________________ Lots of Nissans, two 306 GTI-6's.
