Having some problems removing my 1990 300zx TT engine. I have done all the basics and am planing on bringing the transmission out with the motor. When I jack up the motor it is getting stuck on the back middle/driver side fire wall. I have tried pushing the motor and transmission while jacking it up. Any suggestions?

Using a load leveler to tilt the engine and transmission should help. Alternatively jacking up the rear might help if your engine's wanting to stay horizontal.
