This is how the Nissan 300ZX manual should read on a rebuild..... :dance: :smash: :mac1:

 

 

lol, yea I had fun taking all mine apart!

lol, i'll just take mine up to zworx :D

tell me about it, looks easy on paper, dosent explain the hidden bolts and connections at the rear of the heads, the injector connectors that when you try and pry the little metal sping off, pings to outer space and is lost forever, then you shatter the connector as its brittle or the damaged knuckles you will get, or the breather pipes that are hidden under the electrical wires, thats even before attemping to get the bast**d intake plenium off, when you get to that point, you then realise that you have fooked up, and should have started underneath first, but because you have disconneted the battery in order to assist you in the removal of the plenium, you cant turn the bloody prop as mine is an auto and now stuck in park, so after lots of swearing, cigarettes, coffee, and taking it out on the driveway with a big hammer, reconnect the battery, turn the prop and undo the rest of the bolts,

its mate the exhausts are welded solid and you snap the odd bolt, then his cousin the heatsheild has some really strange bolts holding it on, these are not normal bolts as the fooking heads have been rounded by the last owner, yer right lets try and put a spanner on a ball bearing and see if it will turn.

eventually after all this agro, you think why didnt i pay someone else to do this.

 

As you can tell ive got more knowledge now than before, but still the engine is nearly out only the engine mounts to do, then the fun really starts, fixing it and then putting it back together.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
