supposedly you can loosen the clamping nuts without removing the heat shield. I guess after doing it a time or two you would be good at guiding the socket into place without seeing them. The reason is trying to get the heat shield back on the manifold after you reinstall takes some real finesse on a couple of the forward bolts.
Hey! Not sure if you’ll see this, but I can’t figure out where that grounding wire attaches to right underneath the AFM. Do you have any ideas? It’s black like mine and seems to want to route beneath the AFM but can’t figure out where.
So I live in CA so I tried to save the EGR tube. Bought big wrenches, drenched it in penetrant, hit it with a heat gun and just when it finally breaks loose and im feeling good I notice it broke the tube in the process anyway xD feelsbad
Just bought an 82 280zx NA, your videos are really helpful cause I have no clue what I’m doing except I want my dream car running 🤷♂️

Restoration For Beginners I’m doing a carburetor conversion.. and I’m a beginner on this lol
Best way to learn is by doing man, best of luck. I'm considering it myself, at least for the spare engine that I'm building.
All the bolts on my heat shield rounded off👌

I’ve been stuck on the heat shield for 2 weeks...
Does anyone know where we can find a 1981 280zx Exhaust Manifold part#14004F5400 and park neutral safety switch part#31918X0185?
Awesome video. Great detail!
Nice video series ... thanks for sharing!
Happy to hear that you like them. I hope you found them helpful! Let me know if you have any feedback to make them even better.
Damm u know every single part . And I need to do this ewww😮
I have an l28 heat shield that is only underneath. Top of the manifold is one solid piece. Fml
Wait, do you mean you have one of those intake manifolds that have "webs" between the intake runners?
Restoration For Beginners thanks for the reply. Finally got it with an extension and patience. Just went strait for manifold.
