Dot you t's cross your eyes. Easy to do,easy to fuck up.
Great video. Actually show how to use the timing light. Most of these don’t describe the use of the light but only say how to ask the timing. Thanks.
None of the bolts from puller kit fit the bolt holes on my hb pully.
There is a skiing resort in Missouri and illinose call "hidden valley'. If your in Missouri can you stop by my house 1300 presidents landing drive O'Fallon. Mo. 63366. My1986 300ZX has been sick since 2018 and I couldn't figure what wrong with my Z (Zoey) Thx
Volvo 240 with microsquirt on it. Struggling
link to the bell housing adapter???? thanks! 😁
great video i am going to copy your afr table
Super helpful, I watched it multiple times when transferring my 87 interior to my 84
The driver side { I disconnected my loom from the inside of the car and pulled the wires out re routed them to the outside fender then back into the cabin . I had to cut holes of coarse but It freed up a lot of room for turbo pipes and just made it look really clean.
nice work
I stopped the video at 19:43. I wanted to comment and say they make insertion tools (opposite of the extraction tools) for the pins so you can press them in and secure each pin
does anyone know a good website or might have for sale? I need The rearview mirrors for a 1985zx and the covers for the T top. any help will be amazing thank you!
Did you change 99% oil in trans ???
Hi. 90 mustang - 5.0. Stock. Setting timing under the timing setting. I am not sure about trigger angle? Can't I just set the fixed timing on the MS2 to 10 degrees and go outside the car and using a timing light, adjust the distributor to 10 degrees?
my stubby matco impact made quick work of removing that crank bolt.
Thanks about to install two of these
Congratulation Josh, she sounds great! You may or may not remember me but we spoke a few times one or two years ago when I was trying to get my 85 street worthy again. I finally was able to solve the numerous issues and am now driving the car again. It's been loads of fun, however because of new water leaks around the driver's window/door, etc.. I am only able to drive it when the weather is good. So I thought I would ask you (or some of your fans) for recommendations for a weather stripping kit (or singles) that would fit my car? I have tried sealants, adjusting the window, adding strips of rubber and nothing works. Any help would greatly be appreciated
Thanks Great tutorial. My car is doing the exact same thing motor spins, but the window doesn’t go up and down. I appreciate you doing this!
I’m restoring my 1988 z31 and I can’t find a place to order weatherstrips for the door, t-top, or hatch. Do you know where I can find it?
Unfortunately, there aren't any aftermarket weather stripping kits for the z31. There is a company who is reportedly working on one but they have not announced a price point or time line for when they will be available. Used is the only option currently
FWIW - Autozone has this as Duralast part #SU4098. It’s clearly not up to OEM quality, but I tried it and it does work. $70 as of this posting, in case it helps anyone out…
Own an 87 300 z .Moved to sarasota and found every numbskull so called expert on z engines . If I was a violent person I think a Ray Donovan baseball bat might at least a temporary solution. Problem is at 78 my chassis is failing worse every day and a louisville slugger is not a real option. a half hour listening to you is like a cool breeze blowing in from the gulf which doesn't happen until december in florida. I will subscribe at with my next pay check. thanks for the light at the end of this florida tunnel.
Do you still have the Shinsen? I’m looking at one. It’s between that and a 1999 with leather interior. Not sure which would be more collectible. Both same mileage and condition. Good video.
Your car is so clean brother, I can’t wait to see it
Exposed timing belt at 7:35 is certainly a choice. 🤨😬
Last time my car was in Branson it was running rough as like two stepping back fires turned out my maf was wired wrong . Still made it back 6 hour drive there and back.
I live in Missouri about 3 hours from Branson. I will hopefully have my 50AE drivable by then. It’s in all the pieces right now though.
I know all those Z31 guys. Great guys to kick it with. I hope to be out there for pumpkin spice and next year moving forward.
what did you do with the bar that goes across the top of the radiator to make it fit now that the hose is higher?
Im going with this exact setup. Im redoing my entire exhaust manifold and turbo setup and while im at it im replacing my Intercooler and upgrading the radiator to a champion 3 row. The old fans that the previous owner installed are just sitting on top of the radiator with nothing holding them but hopes & dreams. The way he wired it up requires my to toggle a switch to turn them on. With your wiring do your fans use a thermostat to turn on? Id really like to ditch the switch and utilize an automatic fan situation.
Hey I seem to be having the exact same issue regarding my coil packs. Where coil A fires at the correct rate and B fires at half and so on. Can you recall the issue and or solution you had here. I know it’s a 3 year old video but anything would be appreciated.
I don't remember the exact cause but just make sure your wiring is correct. Depending on your coil, ensure you have sensor ground, signal, power, and possibly chassis ground hooked up to the correct pins. I swapped my wiring around on the latest build and it was causing weird spark behavior, but now that it's correct everything seems fine.
@@TheZGarage perfect will give it a look over thank you!
Hi, what bencin you use re85alcohol or 98
Changed the CAS as per video.But had to force rotor off was seize there for some reason didn't look like any loctite or anything there now. Car runs worse than ever. I don't know if I knocked it out of time or not or is it a bad cas?
Aren’t those sensors different thread pitch?
when i pulled out the bolt , the thread size was a lot thicker than the tx18? wtf?
i love zx z31 , i have one too : )
Thanks bossman needed to change my dizzy on my 305 camaro
Hey you should consider looking into z con Tampa
By the way she’s looking really good
You were locked in two gears because you removed the check ball(s), and played around too much, or purposely put it in gear. The correct solution would have been to pound out the fork retaining pins and then you're free to mess around with the rod(s).
I've been having some misfiring issues on my z31, at first it refused to rev properly, changed fuel pump and worked but still misfired and sounded like 1:38, after changing the fuel filter (it was almost completly clogged) it ran much better but still has a misfire, I'm thinking next it to take apart the injectors and get them cleaned. (new plugs installed before I changed the fuel pump)
I made the same mistake! I put regular power steering fluid in mine and I ended up rebuilding my own rack with new seals. I have the seals for the pump but I'm going to watch this vid first. My pump still seems ok so far though.
I have a 1986 300 ZX in really good shape garage kept run's great no major issues but i would like to find some one to replaced my timing belt in it along with water pump and cam seals if you know anybody local in Greensboro North Carolina please let me know you have a nice 300ZX keep up the amazing work
love how its coming together! ive got a pretty high mile but stock 2+2 that ive been cruising around. it didnt need much except some wiring issues, and i fixed the old gals wiring with your fused link kit! Love seeing that support for z31s, i have an s30 also and its a shame how much more aftermarket those get!
Worked at KME Nesquehoning, Pa. wired many emergency vehicles using Deutsch connectors excellent to work with!
Hey man I have a question do you know what the order of the spacers and washers on the fuel rail I saw the video of you rebuilding the rail I was just wondering how you installed it
nice work mate. shame you couldn't get it fully done but it looks really nice. look forward to seeing it done
LETS GOOOO
Sweet
Nice !
first drive! need the first drive!!! :D
There's going to be a bit at the end of the next video! Hopefully it's out on Tues or Wed!
