Hi guys, been a while, thanks to Covid and life in general but the project has been moving on albeit slowly. I hope you guys have all been well.

The engine is now mounted on custom engine brackets that utilise the RD28 rubber engine mountings, i took your guys advice, set the driveline parallel with the pinion, the prop looks great angles wise.
Its amazing how much smaller the RB looks than the RD, it is a little smaller and without the RD intercooler on top it looks diminutive!

Planning ahead now i have some other driveline questions.
As this will be 70% road 30% off road at most im looking to make the Patrol AWD with centre diff lock, as opposed to 4WD or RWD only.
With this in mind does anyone have any experience with the RD28 5spd manual trans, i'm led to believe it is the same as an R33 Skyline?
If it is im looking at fitting up the R33 Atessa AWD transfer setup along with a controller.

Once again any input greatly appreciated!
