Now the real work begins
The plan was to replace the clutch on my car...but here's what I ended up doing...
1- Replace Clutch
2- Replace Oil Pan Gasket + Repaint Oil Pan
3- Replace Rear Main Seal
4- Replace Crank Seal
5- Replace Distributor Seal
6- Repaint Intake Manifold
7- New Intake Manifold Gasket
8- New "Turbo Intercooled" Sticker
9- Replaced all Vaccum Hoses
10- Replace Clutch Line for a Braided Stainless Line
11- Replaced Stock Air Filter for a K&N Intake Kit
12- Replaced Fog Lights
So here is where it all starts!
Took the hood off to make all this easier
After a few hours of work here it is...
You can see behind the engine all the parts removed...
Took the intake manifold off
Front end was removed to prevent any bad accident to happen to the lights/bumper
It's at this point that I've decided to replace all the bottom end oil seals...
After a few hours a cleaning and removing all the oil seals...I started to put it back together...
Ready to go back on the engine...All nice and clean!
Timing Belt back on...
All Heat Shileds repainted
Now it's time to put the clutch on this good looking engine!
I've put the tranny back on and now its time to put it back in the hole...
Lost track of time...didn't take much pictures of the all the work to put it back together...but here's a final picture of all my hard work!
And now with eveything back on..Bumper, Lights, Hood and even new Fog Lights!

Beautiful Work! I'm wondering if your radiator would fit in an EGT though..? What brand spark plug wires are those? I'm running taylor thundervolt. How does the 6 puck clutch feel? Any trouble off the line hooking up without chattering? Any violent engagment'? Don't forget about your rear end fluid!Comment

Damn nice GT-R! I'd be lying if I said I'm not jealous

The Rad was made for a 323 but can probably fit an egt...you would need to buy the lower rad hose for a 323 tho...Originally posted by cis2711 View Post
The spark plug wire are Magnacor 8.5mm
The clutch feels very nice, at the take off (1st gear) its smooth...but when you floor it, it holds up all the power and doesn't slip at all...I like it a lot! Best upgrade so far... I didn't try any launch or anything too aggressive I'm still doing the brake in...
All Fluid were replaced...I'm using Red Line Products...Comment
