Nissan 300zx z32 120k Timing Belt replacement (1990-1996)

I apologize in advance for the slight fan in the background. It was a very hot couple of days!

[@captainslow4716]

Such a huge help with my new 93z....TY!

[@NedacSnosrap]

Glad I could be of service!🔥

[@luiscolon-pg5kc]

Great content, so much easier doing the timing belt job with engine out of the chassis. Every time I’ve done it is with engine in car.

[@NedacSnosrap]

I did it in car one time and I absolutely do not want to again😅 the z is so low I stretch my knees/back out.

[@DwightRollins]

Good stuff. You were very detailed, which is exactly what I need. Thanks.

[@NedacSnosrap]

Due to my ability to overthink every little single thing I do... Someone has to cover the bases😂 Glad to be of help🙏

[@SB-tp3yw]

About to do this on my UK car, some super useful tips and info, will be watching this while im doing the job! Oh and the engine is staying in 😅

[@NedacSnosrap]

Prepare your lower back for some pain😂 that's about the worst part.

[@SB-tp3yw]

@@NedacSnosrap yeah it’s not great 😂

[@c4a05monkey]

Awesome, looking forward to the second part since I'm planning to do the 120k soon

[@NedacSnosrap]

Waiting on a couple parts I prefer to change and it'll be posted asap🙃

[@microevolved7073]

Dude I was literally gonna ask you to do this in a past vid lol

[@NedacSnosrap]

Glad to finally deliver! 😎

[@erickrivera2056]

Excellent video, a lot of detail. Thank you

[@NedacSnosrap]

You're welcome! 🙏

[@fjaime316]

Very informative video, definitely learned some new stuff thank you

[@alanconnaughton3296]

Ahh man thank you just going to do the 120k on my z very easy follow what you did thanks 💪👍

[@NedacSnosrap]

Just take your time and all will be well!

[@mynameisdot9370]

Hey quick question besides from my other comment when u take the belt off and them crank gears move how do I know if it’s still in time or not

[@NedacSnosrap]

If cam gears flop to one side, just correct it by using the dot/mark on the cam gear and the dot on the rear timing cover to get it back in its general area. Those markings are not meant to be exact tdc reference, but to help align your cams to a sitting/resting position to time it.

Perfect job man

[@trivial1582]

Glad I found this, Definitely one of the better guides i’ve found. I’m doing my NA Auto in about a week. Any tips since mine isn’t a manual?

[@NedacSnosrap]

Pulling engine or leaving in car? Only difference i can recall is the protol for removing the crank bolt. I always chalk 2 of my tires front and back when removing the crank pulley vs putting it in 5th and chalking 1. You also have oil cooler lines for the trans going to the lower part of the radiator. Other than that about everything is straight forward.

[@trivial1582]

@@NedacSnosrap Me and my dad ended up figuring it out. We used a breaker bar on the crank bolt like normal but just wedged a bar to stop the pulley’s from turning.

[@andrewscott4405]

Great video i could have used this on my last 300Z I redid everything on the front end of the motor lol

[@andrewscott4405]

I will most likely have to do this to my new 300Z 😬 if the motor is not clapped-out LOL

[@NedacSnosrap]

If you own a z you will likely do it a few times🙂

[@PrinceKashez9]

Needed this

[@NedacSnosrap]

Glad to help🙏

[@jameszachacz4464]

Nice job!!!

[@NedacSnosrap]

Thank ya🙏

[@BlueRB240]

Great information.

[@mynameisdot9370]

Wat would happen if you spin ur crank without the belt on? Could I just go back to top dead center ?

[@NedacSnosrap]

As long as the cams are in a resting position and the valves are not open, yes. You'll just realign when going to time. Passenger side cams are the ones with valves open at tdc so just flop them over. Also put a long extension in cyl 1 plug hole to verify you're at TDC when you set it back up via the crank sprocket timing mark.

[@sloshyelf]

Oh yessir 🤟

[@mynameisdot9370]

HOW YOU TAKE THAT FAN PULLEY OUT LIKE DAH?? NANI??

[@mynameisdot9370]

I skipped that part my apologies my friend

[@NedacSnosrap]

No worries😎 Sometimes those fan clutches are seized on badly. Penetrant fluid and some hammer/mallet taps mixed with some prying will get it off everytime!

[@mynameisdot9370]

@@NedacSnosraphey also what balancer puller was that I tried getting one but it was too big or sum and also if there’s any other way to pull it out
