I suggest your premise is not correct. I believe there would still be a need for this forum even if you googled every question. TATFAW.

Better yet... Let's try that to find out.

Not really excited about using the aluminum threads in the head to lift the engine.

2 ! M8 bolts? (front hook.. look carefully at it in the pic.) not enough? it does not weigh a ton! I bet i could lift the whole front of the car on those hooks.. (in fact i did this to reposition a car on my (4post) lift..)

and eh.. if i see the questions you ask these last days i think your a guy age 18? and it's your first car?

You are probably on a forum with the most gracious, kind and helpful people you will ever encounter on a car forum. The regulars on here are highly experienced but also very forthcoming with advice tips and a myriad of other virtues. In life you get what you give. When you have concerns about advice given or published in the Nissan manual its fine to ask why but it’s really not a good idea to try and respond with a underhanded or sarcastic comment.
I think is is a good idea to search the forum, read the details of your area of concern. If the answers don’t satisfy you or you have questions it’s absolutely fine to reach out and get clarification. Honestly Siteunseen sent you the link to everything you needed, he did the search for you. Being on a forum is no different than walking into a conference large room where you get to raise your hand and ask a question. I’d ask you how you would approach that in real life? Maybe something like “Hi, my name is Dam I own a xxxx Z that I’m restoring and have a lot of questions and was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction on a engine removal technique “. We’ve allowed social media to change the manner in which we deal with people and we need to take a step back and treat social media interactions the same as you would real ones. Its a problem of this new social media world where are all in and where it’s okay to say something you’d never say to someone’s face....Something to think about !

Yeah, I'm not sure I did a good job of putting my thoughts into words. Av8ferg did a much better job than I did. So let me try again...

So you think this forum exists for the purpose so you can ask us every question and you don't have to do any research yourself? is that why we're here?

Does the head have to be removed to pull the engine?

Are you going to ask the same questions on every Z-car forum that exists? Slow down, do your homework and read the references provided.

And if you use the lift points provided by the manufacturer (as shown in the photo earlier in the thread) it's reasonable to presume they will work correctly.

If you don’t like reading and are more visual there are atleast 20 YouTube videos that show this process.

I made this even easier

That’s awesome, never seen that.  Amazing we have so much knowledge available at any time from anywhere.  Oops…not everyone, we can’t include the likes of Captain Obvious here.  He’s still using a fax machine and western union.

I will say it’s easier to ask “The forum Librarian”, Siteunseen than to do your own search he’s got all the forum topics categorized like the Dewey Decimal System?

And don’t forget I believe the Captain still has his flip phone!!

[Captain Obvious]

Hahaha!!! It's true!!  In fact, I just got a new one!

And...  I hated it so bad* that after a short usage time (one month maybe), I just got ANOTHER new flip phone of a different brand.

The new-new one is more advanced than my previous flips. I handed it to my son yesterday and in a matter of minutes he was laughing at funny videos on youtube. So it's got that. I might never use it for that, but it's clearly capable. So ppppbbbbhttttt for all you guys who think I'm stuck in the 1990's. Hahaha!!

 

* IMHO, it should have never left the factory. If I wrote the software on that POS, I would have been fired on the spot.

Haha!! Exactly who I was thinking of when I wrote that! Thanks for picking that up!   

Ack!!
