no way, I want parts off your car Apollo!

dropping the tranny would take a lot more than 5 minutes. Apollo did it the right way.

That sounds so far yet its so close. 3 months away. **** i gotta get this thing going if i plan on taking it to MSA. Kinda worried though, if i dont have enough time to break the swap in and figure out all the bugs and that **** ****s up on me on the way down or back that would be all bad, no bueno, non buono, pas bon, nicht gut, niet goed, não bom, не хороший, ikke god. . . .

the swap won't take much time. Get it done by mid Feb and you'll have 2 months to figure out where your boost leak is!

I think I must daydream alot... it takes me 10 minutes just to get my car up on stands high enough to get the tranny out from under it. I have to go in steps at first because its so low in front.
Then you have to dissasemble the center console and take out the shifter... no way you can do all that in 5 minutes.

I can remove an entire 280ZX dash in five minutes but heck... I'm Bleach! Legandry!

It's just Snowie exagerating. It takes me no less than 72 minutes to remove a tranny.

no centerconsole was on... all the tranny bolts easily accessable which is 4 and the 2 starter bolts. the car was already on stands for undercoating. lol... so i skipped steps. and im not counting puting on stands nor droping the driveshaft cause you have to do that any ways weather you rop the tranny or pull it whole... lol. but im doing a ful motor swap tommorow and trying to get teh 260z running. my dad has an engine hist for the day... THE DAY! so swap time uber fast i guess. lol. that will be fun.

Ports for the air reg hoses on the turbo manifold... also the turbo doesn't have a cold start valve.
