I've not been on here much for a long time so I have nfi who you are and Frankston is a long way away but I was thinking recently I miss the old tech days so if a few people are heading down one day I'll try to come and help too. Maybe nominate one of the days you'll be doing the stuff that really needs extra hands to try to get a few people there, obviously ideally on a weekend, Sundays are generally better for me but Saturdays could be managed too.
I would love to h3lp rob but i gotta work this weekend and then i gotta service my own z next weekend. Good luck with the engine pulls dude.
saturday next week would be most important. would love to get the two motors out and the n/a sitting in the shell.
Are you droppping the trans on both or hoping to lift both out w/ trans attached? Big job either way. You can borrow my crane for all the days. I'll be along to help on Friday only for the next 2 weeks. Just make sure to have everything disconnected so they are ready to lift out. Taking it all apart is the easy part. As long as the transmissions are dropped from the cars we could literally lift NA out, place it on a tyre or pallet, pick up TT, drop it in. Lift the NA and drop it into the TT donor car. If you need to change turbos though, now is the time to do it. One big thing you might want to consider is whether or not to keep aircon. If you do, you need to swap over all the TT lines and related aircon crap. Also the PS pumps needs to be changed if you want to keep the TT donor running with the NA engine.
yeah unsure of what way to do it. the tt motor is nearly ready to come out. will need to get started on the n/a soon. im not to worried about keeping aircon in my car would be nice though to have it in the tt donor.
