should i use a load leveler on the engine

do i have to lift the front of the car to get it out and leave the gearbox in or just drop the subframe to the floor to get clearance its a twin turbo

some say you can leave the box in others say take it out im confused havnt removed box yet what should ido

thanks didn't fancy oil all over the driveway

thought so thanks ive emptied the gearbox oil so if i disconect these will oil pour out

are they for the oil cooler

hi removing my gearbox and found these pipes on the drivers side photos are off my phone sorry

cheers ill remember that when reffiting does my head in when people do work on cars and cut corners all there doing is making more work for later or killing someone

didnt think i would lol when i refit new bolts will go in

right in the process of removing my engine it says here http://diy.icydesigns.com/article/170/Nissan/300ZX/Z32_(1990-96)/Engine/Engine:_Removal/ that you need a 3ft extension to remove the gearbox is that for the bolts round the top of the gearbox as if it is there not there as some :cowboy: who changed the clutch and didnt put them back :scared: tis car does nearl 200mph with missing bolts

well when i rang him this morning he didnt seem that happy that it sold so cheep but thats the gamble you take when you are to tight to put a reserve or starting price bought a complete roof for my mx5 with heated rear screen for 99p once his postage was £30 so drove the ten miles to his house gave him a quid and said keep the change lol there are still bargainsd if you look

well won an engine complete with turbos on ebay last night £27 hopefully its a good one aparently only done 80k

it drunk all the water and still wanted more but i had none

the coolant gauge went up to hot then went back down to normal then lost power pulled over sat on the m6 for about half hour pored in about 6litres of water it was boiling out of the radiator and that was after half an hour so id guess there was no water atall and the only thing cooling the engine was the oil id say its dead

going to do a compression test and a few other things tommorow my sisters offered to buy me an engine so just need to look for one theres a couple of interesting ones on fleabay

does it have to be a turbo engine or will a none turbo do if i transfer my bits over

ill put an add on here aswell you never know only probs is im skint till after crimbo so itll have to wait till then wish id bought the rad i was offered of hollowpoint now well you live and learn or mabye not lol

well i have nothing to do on my days off either been and had a look head gasket set £170 both heads skimmed about £60 ect if its just the gasket engines from about £200-£700 think ill just get another engine and use the other for spares its only money after all what else would i spend it on oh food

ill check on ebay now

yeah i know im an idiot dont think any thing has bent though turns over easy just wont start ill get it sorted this is an engine out job? gives me a chance to give the bay a good clean lol
