I got a rb30 turbo motor in my lh torana. Im trying to remove the t3 turbo and manifold.
Is it just me or are the middle bolts under the exhaust manifold a ****ing bitch to reach. Graised knucking and cursing galore
Cheers Matt

Yep, the opposite way they went on.

So there no trick way to unbolt the dump or to undo the oil-water lines. Just a pain then?
undo the engine mounts on the hot side of the motor
then jack the motor up abit to have it facing you more if you know what i mean unless u have allready done so
gzm is a workshop maybe you had them built/fit an auto. i only remember it had personalized plates which was the only thing that caught my eye otherwise looked like a pensioners car

Guess i gotta suck it up then. Built many cars but this one is the hardest motor iv worked on. V8's and holden sixes are simple. Even with turbos on them.

Man i had a 300zx, it is impossible to fit any hands in a VG30dett small or big lol, need to pull out half the engine to anything worthwhile lol.
With the stock water and oil lines, bin them and get some braided lines..
the price you will pay is nothing to the time and energy trying to get the stock ones back on.
Matt , argee with you!!! : ) your not the only one
My tip is don't use a straight spanner, if you know what i mean! (oil line)
1000 small turns on the exhaust manifold : (
just remove waterline from turbo can leave it connected to block. Oil line is a prick through but just takes time. I ended up getting braided lines to put back on though because it was a massive pain. Waterline is very simple though just put it onto block first then when put manifold on connect to turbo. but yeah oil line is a bitch.
