What's the most frequently used 300zx tool ?

Well if we're parting out... how about a sawz-all

 

The cheap Bunnings variant does the job

 

New favorite tool, bequeathed to me by dear old uncle Bruce may he RIP. Imperial at the fat end and Metric at the skinny end.

 

What's that blue thing lurking in the shrubbery?

 

Half way there.

 

I have a single ended Shifter and am unable to determine whether it is Metric or Imperial, can you advise me on how to identify what it is?

 

Lloyd, I can't make a valid comment about your tool until I've seen it. Perhaps you could post a pic of your tool? ( If it's unusually long you might want to use a wide angle lens or turn your smartphone sideways to get a landscape view )

 

dont forget many modern phone cameras do panoramic view as well......

 

I didn't know that, something new every day. But a panorama might be stretching things a bit.

 

I tried to take a panoramic shot but my Camera was confiscated by a particularly aggresive member of the Police Force(I will make another attempt as soon as I am released from Solitary Confinement).

 

I'll bake you a cake Lloyd and get it to you in Solitary somehow. Maybe tell them it's your Birthday? Fake a medical condition which can only be cured by a REALLY BIG cake? The cake will taste like shiz because I've never baked one before so the guards won't steal it for their own greedy maws. It will contain a rock hammer and a poster of Rita Hayworth.

 

Somewhere in there is a joke about Rock Hudson & Rita Hayworth(I just can't quite put my finger on it ATM....)LOL

 

No mate, it's a reference to the movie Shawshank Redemption.

 

A long 1/2 inch wobble bar , extended long screw driver , a long grab pickup flexy claw , some one with pack of band-ades & very small hands.

 

Lots of extensions and wobble joints in 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4".
And for transmission drops, about 2.5m of 1/2" drive extensions.
Also bought a cheap set of ring spanners and ground them thinner so that they fit onto the turbo/exhaust manifold/exhaust turbine housing bolts.
$20 supercheap Flex-head ratchet spanner set also came in handy several times, those things are so worth it.

 

pretty much any thing that allows a normal socket/spanner/ tool to bend or go in angles and spots it was not desgined to go into

 

For me the most used tool: Kincrome 255 - 375mm 3/8" Square Drive Telescopic Flex Head Ratchet from Bunnings.

Strong enough for undoing most bolts. The Head small enough for Z32 tight spaces and can flex. The telescopic arm retracts for tight spaces or extends a reasonable length for leverage. My gearbox and exhaust system came out with ease thanks to this tool.

 

AND?......(did you REALLY think I didn't 'get it')?LOL
I have been "Swimming against the Tide" in this Forum, for as long as I(and many other Hon.Members)can recall, AND...I'M STILL HERE!!

I worked it out guys. There is a simple way to determine if your shifter is metric or imperial. If we take a 6" shifter as an example it's an imperial one the closest metric is of course a 150mm shifter. So obvious in the end right. Now we know which shifter to grab for our z's and which to grab for our older muscle cars

 

Dude, I appreciate your advice but none of us can afford to own older muscle cars.
Because broke because Zed
