I have discovered the absolute pinnacle of PITA.
A Z32 VG30DETT.
What weirdo came up with how they would fit everything in that engine bay? Why is everything so difficult on them? why? why? why? To get to one part you need to move another, but to do that you need to move something else, and to do that the front bumper (or similar) has to come off. GRRRRRRRRRR
:evil:

If you'd asked, there's quite a few of us who could've warned you to run far far away from a TT 300ZX

by **touge rolla** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 4:43 pm

I have, trust me nowhere near as bad. Not even close.

nissan are good at that!
even a simple thing like the oil filter on a TD27 is an effort

by **rollaholic** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 5:27 pm

with the exception of very new, large displacement audis and similar i dont think i've seen an engine bay as packed as a 300ZX TT. even then its a close thing - i feel your pain.

i recall having to take intercooler piping or some such off to change headlight bulbs!

by **flygt4** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 5:47 pm

yep all the wiring gets heat damaged on those due to how close everything is.

i hope it isnt your personally? a little research goes a long way when buying a car :wink:

No no no there easy, even pull the turbos off easily.

300ZX TT are a nightmare

Does look pretty cramped in there

by **touge rolla** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 7:30 pm

Toyotas are easy, and GT4s aren't really that bad to work on all things considered. Try Audis with W8s and things like that, they make ZXs look like a picnic.

And Revhead, harden up :lol:

Just pull the rubber panel off inside by the wheel and its easy as

I recall a thoroughly miserable few days spent stripping down a mates non turbo 300zx trying to get at a burst water pipe - it was a pig too. I can only imagine the TT ones being a whole lot worse...

On the subject of difficult to work on nissan's, has anyone ever tried to get an oil filter off a gtir pulsar?

by **Truenotch** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 7:27 pm

Just wait untill you go to re-start it after working it and the intake manifolds fill up with water for no reason!!!!
