Lol at the up up up after 14 mins

What do you want to know? Just unbolt the box and clutch and then put it all back together again!

Check spigot bearing in the back of the crankshaft.
Use auto-fluid to fill gearbox.

Why would someone with a supposed 600bhp Escort Cossie be putting a secondhand clutch in a saff?

You keep putting that link up when people ask to see your car and there are no pics of it there thats all!
Is the engine back in your car yet?

Nooooo

That pic is from sunny New Zeland And my engine bay is black, rather than silver (TBH most Skylines bays are black, wierd that ones silver )

Robbie uses that shell and engine to trial fit everything as its all custom to make sure it all fits!

Notice (if you give a damn, prob not ) how far forward the turbo is (in line with cyl 2+3) as if i used a normal manifold for a big single turbo on a GTR itd be much further back and my turbo wouldnt fit as itd hit the passenger side susp strut tower as usually the compressor housing is in line with that, rather than about 3inches futher forward on mine.
