300ZX Z32 TT Intake Manifold Removal... HELP ME??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

LuvNissanZXSX · 05-25-2009, 08:03 PM

I have a 1990 300zx twin turbo and i having trouble removing the intake manifold!

I got all the bolts out of the middle and lots of other things removed as well... There is still something holding it up on the drivers side... Is there a common mistake that us retards seem to make? What am i missing?

If you can help me then please do so as i really miss my car and it is just sitting, collecting dust, and losing air in the tires! ='(

The left side (passenger side) is free and lifts up but somewhere on the drivers side it is tight and does not want to budge!

PLEASE HELP!!!

Check that both egr connectors on the front underside of the plenum have been removed. If this is your first plenum pull there are A LOT of hoses that have to be disconnected.
Print out this doc and go through out on the car, it may help find your problem.

Dude shold have hit me up Ive done countless amounts of plenum pulls what are you doing that requires the plenum pull? the only things that hold the Driverside down, is the EGR Tube, Water Lines for the Turbos and Throttle Bodies, The support braket that has the Boost Solenoids on it, and vacuum lines,

agree. Wish I would have seen this sooner.

The big Biatch with the z32 mani is the egr tubes. you need a good offset ratcheting wrench, or a patient hand to remove the 2 10mm nuts from each tube.

There are also many vac lines, and the brake booster hose.

Not to mention the cracking prone coil pack harness and injector harness that needs to be moved out of the way.

Just about everyone does the EGR and coolant lines delete when doing the plenum pull for the first time.. From there on out it's only about 30 minutes to remove

While you in there might aswell delet the egr aiv's and bypass coolant lines it will make working on it later that much easier
