- Since Covid-19 has given us some down time, I decided to start doing maintenance on my daily driver/ show car. The car is a completely stock 1992 Nissan 300zx NA 2+0. With it almost being a 30 year old car, there are tons of things I want to do to it. So this is the first episode of many on the overhaul of this fairladyz.
In this episode I go over the do's and don'ts on how to remove the engine and tranmission all at once. This is a step by step guide and what needs to be done prior to removing a nissan 300zx engine. We have a ton of footage coming up of this build so make sure you leave a like and subscribe to see more of our content! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thank God you still have all this still posted. I skimmed through your videos before in the past but now that I have my own 300zx I'm paying attention now
Great comprehensive tutorial on the process. Most detailed video as well as useful info as you’re going through step by step. Kudos
probably the most detailed and well paced video out there
Perfectly detailed step by step video! Thanks. I have two Z32's with the engine coming out on both so this is perfect! Thanks bro and keep up the great content!
Thank you and I hope it helps!!
Just started this project yesterday. Thank you so much for the in depth process. Best one on CZcams!
Thank you for the support!!
Hey, zbruz love your work. I'm so grateful you post these vids, it's literally saved me so much grief. Thanks for letting me know about the right procedure for hauling trans and engine together. Engine mount with chains...thankyou because I was going to lift via plenum so....👍👍
Love it!, Good luck with the build!
I really appreciate this content. I am removing the VG to my NA to swap for an LS3. Keep up the awesome work!
Love it! Thanks for the support and good luck with the build!
You deserve more attention!
Love the content! Greetings from Austria ✌🏽
Thank you for the support!!!!
Thank you so much for this guide!
perfect timing, picking up a 1990 tomorrow and i know ill be doing this eventually lol
Ayyyye!
I just picked one up 1990, Na as well. Viewer from California
@@ogm19881 same from cali I'm currently in process of taking out my engine all I need now is disconnect motor mounts and it comes off I just don't have the engine hoist to take out the engine
@@carlososorio7645 Well if you have been a get the one from Harbor freight get the Bigger One it extends further And I feel like it's more stable
@@ZBruhzchannel u
That's crazy 3500 subscribers! I'm trying to get to 1000 and been doing it 3 times as long. Keep up the good work your doing something right.
Thanks brotha!
Another great vid man! Look forward to seeing how you get that daily all freshened up!
Thanks brother!
Currently following this vid for my first car/motor pull in my Z easygoing so far thx to this vid
Love it!
Im new to the channel and cars in general lol, been looking for a 300zx. Definitely going to stick around a learn a couple things 👍
Love the video, hate that you vented the ac lines though. Should have got it evacuated
Just picked up 2 to make one this will help thanks!
Great video! Hopefully this will be my next project car!
Good luck!
What a great video! Love the car! Fortunately where i live, they are not that expensive, with 6-7000 euros you can get a very good example. Unfortunately it is very expensive on parts, on maintenance, and there is no support for it whatsoever. There aren't many people who know them. And those who do, are very very very expensive. Love the content! All the best all the way from Romania.
Love it! Thank you for the support and welcome to the channel!!
This really helps me because I have to pull the motor on my 300ZX
Same here, are you tt swapping?
This helped me get mine out no prob. Thanks
Awesome!!!
Man! Thank you 🙏🏼
I just got a 96 and need to rebuild the motor thanks for all of your help
Love it! Good luck with the build!!
@@ZBruhzchannel I appreciate it I'm gonna need it lol
I am no stranger to auto repair, but i am dreading working on my 90 TT 300Zx. My driver side turbo is leaking oil :( Thanks for the video.
Got a upcoming project and looking for a little help. I'm taking a 1992 NA 2+2 and adding a set of stock turbos (for now), a big FMIC, Greddy profec b BC, set of 550 injectors, popcharger, and do my deletes. Haven't found any videos showing how to add stock turbos so I thought I'd ask. May be different than what I had in mind.
Dude your modded z32 is too clean wow
Thank you!
OR .... Just get a hoist, put some pallets on wheels under and loosen the crossmember, and hoist the car up. Will spare you so many hours of work and headaiche!
PRO tip after that; Everything you do before you put it back in. DO IT WELL, and DO IT RIGHT! It will make you love the 300 instead of hating it.
changing my n/a to twin turbo 🙌
Ayyyye!
You should undercoat your car, that would be an amazing video🙏🏼 this is a great video and very helpful.
Thats apart of the plan!
its the only way i've ever done it..easy as hell that way
Would you guys be able to do a step by step video on removing and replacing the engine wiring harness?
I can see what we can get done for you. I do have a video a few years back in this channel where we do intact change out the engine wiring harness from one shell to another in a 5 speed NA car
@@ZBruhzchannel Okay sweet ill look for it. Yeah the wiring in these cars are just a little tight to work around lol
I give up. Got the TT's and intercoolers. Along with walbro hi pres, fuel press reg, and intend on getting a manual transmission. Can I just send my car to you guys so you can work your magic on it and shoot a vid? Lol!
Haha, it's okay you can do it! Corona gives us time, stay dedicated!
I have a z32 that’s been sitting for about 10 years. The last thing I remember was that it had some sort of electrical problem, and the horn would stay on. It happened after my battery touched the roof of my hood. And I never messed with it again. If I want to get my car running again, should I do what you are doing in this video? Or before pulling the engine out should I figure out why it’s not turning on first?
This is a great video btw it really makes me want to start working on my car, I just don’t have much knowledge on how to work on cars, but I want to follow step by step with what you are doing here.
Check oil and coolant. If those are good put a battery in it and see if it starts. You can disconnect the horn or remove the horn fuse if it stays on but it's probably your steering wheel triggering the signal.
@@VNCTHE1 thanks for the info. My oil seems to be good. But my coolant on the radiator looks rusted, where the coolant supposed to go it looks oxidized, got any advice?
@@LuGu1 Sitting around for 10yrs technically all fluids should be replaced, but you can try and see if it starts first and if it runs you can go from there...like doing a coolant flush and an oil change...then if it runs well you can do transmission and diff fluids later. Brake fluid at some point too.
@@LuGu1 You would also need to do a timing belt and component replacement most likely.
@@VNCTHE1 thanks for the info, I’m definitely going to do that
Is that a 1 tons hoist?
Speaking from experience if the weather is cold outside you do not want to be bending the wire harness too much the car is over 30 years old and the harnesses tend to be brittle it's much better to handle them when the weather is warm.
Yea I heard a few pops here and there but no worries because a wire tuck will be taking place
Doesn’t matter if it’s warm or cold the harness needs to be replaced if it’s that bad. Yes a warm day will help with not cracking the harness as much but if that’s your concern you should look into getting a new one there not that expensive.
@@johnl2028 so true it is better to replace the wire harness because once it starts breaking it becomes a continuous headache that you can't get rid of
mike taitt yup 1 and done get it over with lol
Is there a reason for taking out the engine with the transmission? Could you not d/c the trans and remove separately?
I have now done both, and trying to get those top bolts is a pain, by doing this it is so much easier hands down
Thanks I hope this helps me tomorrow I hope I can remove it in one day
What LED headlights (hi & LO) do you recommend?
Check out my auxito review video!!
What’s the location of that ground wire for the starter? Or is that just a ground you added from the negative battery cable to starter?
Ground wire comes off the harness where the "+" plug that plugs into the starter. I have seen that these wires are small and people tend to rip them out or destroy them when trying to remove the starter
@@ZBruhzchannel hmm interesting.. I wish I was able to post a pic of how mine is looking like. The harness “+” is traveling down to the starter. However I’m not seeing any other wire such as the ground coming off it. Carquest starter seems like it may have its own ground that’s coming from inside it going to besides my positive cable for the starter.
@@MrDoozie21 check my starter video I may have gone in depth and been able to show exactly where the cable is running from
Do I have to remove the starter and wires if I'm only pulling the motor out?
Yes, starter is connected to transmission, and will help with extra space wheen pulling
How did u take of the 4 bolts for the driveshaft theres no room for a socket and that shit is siezed on
Wrench keeps sliping
All you need to do is take the nuts off, the bolt heads will not spin due to a stopper on The flange itself. Best way to do it is the double wrench method. Please look at my diff reseal video we talk about it on there
@@ZBruhzchannel np thanks i used a wrench and a dead blow workd great
My 1990 tt just blew a head gasket. :( Prolly gunna pull the motor and do all the deletes while I'm at it.
Noooo, well good luck and that would definitely be the time to do it!
Hey do i have to drain the ac system first before removing the cables at 32:20?
Those lines will practically bleed the system out. It's not environmentally safe to do it that way but it is the way I did it. If you release those lines fluid will come out that is pressurized. So wear gloves and eye protection and don't breath it in! Slowly unfortunately them until they start hissing and let it do its thing
@@ZBruhzchannel Tyvm
The nuts for the radiator fan was a bitch to get out because of the shroud. However, I found out my Z would’ve just let me pull out the shroud with the radiator because the shroud had a breakaway piece on the lower half..😂
where did you learn all the parts in your 300zx. I wanna work on mine but i dont know much about it
Just research twinturbo. net is the best place ever
@@ZBruhzchannel Thank you man, you got yourself a new subscriber
@@trentnuckolls2697 ayye thanks for the support!
How do you remove the ac compresser
Very simple, disconnect ac lines and unfortunately it from the bracket which is attached to the block of the motor.
How did u connect the chain?
We wrapped a long enough chain around the both motor mount brackets and then clipped to the engine hoist.
@@ZBruhzchannel cool
22:31
Do you still drive a 300 zx
I do
I Have a 91 that im putting together 2+2
But I just bought a 2+0 that was in a wreck for parts. Mine is a automatic the other one is manual, but I wanted you to know that your videos have been really helpful. So thank you for taking the time and filming.
Getting all that clout from donut 😂🤟🤙
Overhaul usually means rebuild.
looking like im unfortunately gonna have to take the engine and harness out of mine, car was extremely molested and it would be better to start fresh with a new engine, harness and ecu
Think of it as a blessing, you'll k ow the car like the back of your hand then
We just need to start a zx club nothing but zxs
Yea man, there are a ton all over the place I would definitely check out your area!
I like your glove
Lmaoooo 😂 I was waiting for the comments haha
@@ZBruhzchannel Yeah mate ... I want them gloves!!! Where did you get em? Love your videos - working on my 91 TT and using your videos. Thanks,
@@taipane-biensur7607 love it! Thank you for the support! And I don't know Andrew picked them up haha
3:15 🤔
Z32 started in 1989, just sayin', because there's one in my garage
