I am looking for people to help me with my engine transplant. Although i am quite handy with the spanners, this is unfamiliar ground for me! I could really use anybody that has experience removing the engine from the 300zx. Even if you havnt done this before the more people i have helping the better!

 

I have use of a 2 post lift plus any tools i require for two days, Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th November. I can be there from 9am till as late as i need. This is a link to where i will be going, Ramp and Wrench

 

Please Please Please, if anybody can come down and help on either or both days, even for just a couple of hours, it would be very much appreciated! I really need to save my Zed and i cant do it alone. I would even be willing to pick people up and take them home to save there own petrol!!

just a pic or 2

Nice work dude it's alot of effort by yourself if you don't know what you're doing isn't it! Lmao, i've never seen anyone pull the whole prop out still attached before.

 

Is there some pictures of you car anywhere on the site, I like the look of it alot:thumbup1:

looking at the pics..you took a chance holding all that weight from the plenum without the boost solenoid brackets on.It must be stronger casting than it looks

By the way Rob,

How is the replacement engine performing?

Is everthing back to normal now?

Hey, sorry guys havnt checked the thread for a while

 

Well done Draxan, you've done more than i could have on my own :)

 

My new engines running well, covered 300 miles so far, then ran out of money for petrol :p Good to have her back on the road though. Keeping her at mine now since keeping it on my sisters drive (where i thought it would be safe) resulted in a series of little red dings down the side from her car doors :glare: :glare: :glare:
