I can’t drive it until the new radiator is installed. The old one cracked on me and it doesn’t hold coolant. Thanks for the offer though.

Oh awesome, yeah I’ve got a pretty big driveway and a garage. I just have no practical tools, lol.

And I’d offer beer but something tells me my parents wouldn’t be thrilled about that. :lol

Well, If someone can supply some tools… my garage is a mess thanks to my brother throwing shit around when he brought his snowmobile over for storage… So untill my family decides to go thru all the shit so i can start looking for things.

I have some jackstands, I broke the rear seals on 2 jacks from my cars heavy ass… Lemme look and see what socket sizes it needs, more than likely 12,14,17, maybe the odd 13 and 10 in their… because you can rpetty much take apart any Z with 10 sockets and a ratchet and a single size phillips head

Kramer you should show up, id liek to meet ya, not to mention we can show you how to work on a real car :🙂 j/p

Well I’ve got some simple tools like socket wrenches and sockets. No box/open end wrenches though. Not sure if I would need them. I’m gonna have to look up a write-up to see exactly what I need for the Z.

Lol, you have a Z32 FSM? Even I don’t have one. But yeah, do you think your jacks would safely hold the weight on my Z? If you think the Z31 is a lard ass, the Z32 is a friggin boat.

Once my Z is up, we need to do a Z meet/cruise.

I’ve had simpler fixes gone terribly wrong in the past.

Since I started working on cars, I’ve never expected any job to go easy, parts get broken, wrong parts come in, bolts get stripped, rust has a tendency to fuse things together and Japanese manufacturers love to tie in everything together.
