Help! Pull Engine to replace VEL ACTUATOR ASSY

Stino · 08-15-2017, 03:59 PM

Can anyone tell me if I would need to pull the engine to replace the VEL Actuator Assy (part 23745+A shown below). Part and image found here. Thanks for any help!

I've seen pictures of the whole front end off. bumper/cowling/radiator
That opens up everything in front of the engine. Could not imagine you would need to do any more than that.

VVEL Actuators are on the back side of the motor, no?

LOL, shows you I haven't worked on them. I guess that front arrow should have clued me in.

My Z is fixed and running better than ever. I replaced the VEL control Module, adjusted the VEL Actuator Sensors myself with UpRev software and didn't have to part with $3200 like the Nissan dealer said I needed to.

When I took my car to Nissan and supposedly spoke to their top mechanic, he had no clue what I was talking about until I showed him in the 370Z service manual. There is absolutely no excuse for that if you are the top shop mechanic.

Do yourself a favor and read the service manual; you'll know just as much as the Nissan Dealer Mechanics.
