Astroboy Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Afternoon all, I was wondering if you could point me in the direction as to where the engine lift points are on a VQ35 and what was the best way to lift an engine via a hoist please. Thanks in advance, Astroboy Quote
ZMANALEX Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Front panel completely off and remove engine/gearbox and complete engine wiring loom as one unit. I have special brackets that I fabricated but a decent sling around the exhaust manifolds will work. Alex. Quote
Sly@Kaizer Motor Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 As Alex said there is no factory lifting points and you need special brackets to do by the SM, but old school trick will work with a few sling. Quote

Is it advisable to separate the engine from the gearbox or would you not lift it together all as one? Edited February 18, 2013 by Astroboy Quote

Sly@Kaizer Motor Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Sorry, SM mean Service Manual by Nissan otherwise I would separate the gearbox and the engine to make your life easier Quote

Is it advisable to separate the engine from the gearbox or would you not lift it together all as one? IMHO lift it all as one unit as advised in my previous post: That is engine complete with loom and gearbox. I have tried all ways and this works best for me. Removing front bumper and complete front panel makes the job so much easier. Alex. Quote
