Gotta take the engine out of the silver Z, I have found this how 2

Is this the best one?? Would you do anything different?? Does all the bits have to come off like it says??

I use this guide when i first tried my engine out and it helped loads.

One thing i did differnt, was to remove the complete prop in one hit, not split it. Mark where the bolts are, so they go back same.

I also labelled every connection with maksing tape and a number to each side.

ie. 1-coilpack 1, 1-colipack conn 1,

 

Get three 30cm extentison bars and a decent 14mm socket on 1/2" drive.

This will make getting the top bellhousing bolts of easier.

 

When raising the engine, go nice and slow, keep checking that nothing is still attached, as some of the pipes on the sides of the engine can only be done when block is half out.

 

Ive done 3 now and its a good knowledge curve.

We had the same idea, drop the subframe with the engine and lift the car:)

Try this link below. I followed andyduff's post, its about the 10th one down I think.

 

Hope it helps.

Lifting the car off the engine is the easiest way to do it if you can, had mine out a few times now and lifting the car up leaving the engine and box was by far the one needing the least amount of effort
