Need help with screws...

[KornFlakeZ]

So basically im working on a 1990 300zx n/a doing routine maintenance ( timing belt, water line delete etc etc.. ).
The Z being the amazing car that it is got my father all excited to work on it... so excited that he had the brilliant idea to put ALL the screws, bolts and nuts mixed on the same container needless to say i was pretty upset about it!
Now he doesnt have a clue where they go and neither do i since i wasnt there to remove said bolts ( and if i did, BELIEVE ME, they would be all sorted out! ). So basically, im asking if anyone knows about any manual or guide that shows which bolts go where??? ( Plenum, All the screws that go in front of the engine, radiator etc etc ) That would be really appreciated!

Don't know if the diagrams like this one and part number photos here will help. Most of the bolts have numbers on their heads too. Visit a local wrecking yard with a note pad and digital camera? Go slow and easy on your dad, and use a torque wrench when putting everything back together again.

i brought my engine block to the machine shop with many bolts screwed into the side to remember where they went little did i know at the machine shop they wont accept that when cleaning the engine block before machining so they took all them out and put them in a box lol haha i was like u gotta be kidding me but anyways i had to figure it out and i did, but yes take your time narrow your bolts down by seeing what ones can even go in certain places and what ones wont even fit at all and look for wear marks on the bolt and engine itself (size of the washer or head of the bolt) also see what ones might look alike they may all go in the same area just somethings to think about hope this helps good luck
