Hondatsun Fan
Добавлен 7 июн 2020
Just a fan of 80s and early 90s Japanese imports. I like to tinker with my del Sol and my 280ZX. I'll be posting small how-to videos on simple repairs, restoration, and mods. Nothing major (i.e. No engine or transmission swaps, no welding)
I'm also fooling around with a Porsche 924S and a 3rd Gen Subaru Outback, so maybe I should rename myself 'Porschondatsubi Fan,'
Occasional driving videos, too!

Coolant bleeding for Porsche 944/924S
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.Год назад
This is the quickest way I've found to get air out of the coolant system. 1. Fill from the coolant hose, not just the expansion tank 2. Crack bleeder screw (12 mm) 3. Cover expansion tank fill hole with your palm 4. Blow into the expansion tank drain tube until you see coolant coming out the bleeder screw. 5. Close off bleeder screw, top off coolant in tank, and run engine for a few minutes (wi...
Setting and Checking Top Dead Center (TDC) - Porsche 944 or 924S

The timing mark on the front of the engine is very easy to find. However, I found it very difficult to find the mark on the flywheel. Most guides I found online only show a very close-up view of the alignment window. This video starts wide and then follows a path all the way to the window. I'm not sure how you could possible see this without some kind of scope, unless you removed a bunch of stu...

3rd Generation Subaru Outback (2005-2009) Airbag Light Error Fix

Your airbag light on the dash may be on, even though there is nothing actually wrong with your airbags! If one of the SRS LED status lights in your overhead console is out, your airbag error light will turn on. I do not know if that actually prevents your airbags from deploying, but it certainly is annoying and disconcerting. Note that your overhead console might look a little different, based ...

This is definitely my issue thank you for making a legit video!
Any Z updates?
Can’t thank you enough. I banged hard on the console with my fist and it started working. I’ll try and remove it and do the soldering later.
Are you Serious? That's crazy! I have thiss issue, I'll tackle it tomorrow! Cheers!
Thanks! I'm restoring my dad's gold '83. Very low miles, but it's been in his garage for 35 years, so everything rubber is being replaced. All 4 struts are dead. But it drives and purrs like a kitten (after replacing everything that touches fuel).
Hey friend! We met at the RK Motor show a few months ago. I have a 87 944s that's currently overheating... it's leaking coolant under the car on the passenger side. Ever dealt with this before ? Heater core? Thanks man.
That's probably the water pump if it's towards the front of the car, then. Try using K-seal. It should hold until you do a water pump replacement. Do the timing belt at the same time.
What paint did you use for your heat shield? It's exa and what I want.
VHT Engine metallic burnt copper
Thanks !
You can't reuse the cotter pin? The guy I did this with said it was fine. Now the entire right side was replaced about 10 years ago, swing arm, axle, strut etc... I'm assuming also the cotter pin. Maybe thats' why. He was adamant that it was fine.
You CAN, but it's not designed to be. It's a piece of wire that got bent. It costs under a dollar to replace it...
Just replaced my right axle and axle seal yesterday on my 95 Del Sol....
I couldn't find a break, but after wiggling some of the joints and putting it back together. It works correctly. I know whete the problem is.
Thanks!
on my 7th gen (different motor different plug), the egr is kinda in the way. I the last one I put on I had put no rtv and it leaked. ... slow but was making a mess and was like popped out at the top. cant risk catastrophic failure. on the one i installed this morning (after cleaning and drying the surface and o'ring area ) gobbled black oil resistant permatex all on that new plug lol even the o-ring not giving a damn. even after i wiggled and smahed it into place (without damaging its clips) with the egr in the way, al also smeared some more rtv all around the out side of the cap lol. i let it dry for like 30minutes-1hr and drove to work. 30 minutes parked checked, no leaks and its more dry. i was in a hurry and i have a couple of more of these things so... if i messed up i dgaf bucause i still need to change my VC gasket anyway. Im really just tired of working on this thing. Feel free to ask me for the rest of my life how long did it hold. ill check it again tomorrow.
Your a life saver, I spent six hours struggling with 02 sensors, watched your video went to grab CRC it took less then 20 minutes after using the spray. Thank you for sharing. I’ll definitely spread the word about this product. It’s truly amazing..
What do you do with the pipe that goes from the top of the tank to the radiator? When I try your method, I seem to just be blowing air into the radiator.
You are supposed to reconnect that after you top off the coolant there!
@@hondatsunfan1011 Not sure we’re talking about the same pipe. I’m talking about the small diameter pipe that goes from the top of the coolant tank, near the overflow pipe, to the top of the radiator, just above the big diameter pipe.
All pipes need to stay connected. Only the bleeder screw is cracked. When you cover the reservoir opening with your hand and blow into the overflow tube, the system is closed and the only place for air to go is out the screw. If that's not happening, you have a leak or didn't put enough coolant in to even start this process.
@hondatsunfan1011 Thanks. I'll add coolant to see if that makes a difference.
@francisdescoteaux3938 you need to add coolant to that top hose that I show in the video until it starts spilling out
Next time try removing the castle nut ( or just loosening it ) and bolting the assembly back to the strut. Then you can use a pickle fork to pop the old ball joint out. Force and shock at the same time make life easier.
The bad solder joints are at those 3 black square resistors. I've fixed dozens of these permanently
This is SPOT ON! There were a number of times that the Airbag light came back on after a few months, and I would redo the solder, but only recently noticed that there were small cracks in the solder at those three black elements (diodes? not sure...)
big thanks
Did you teleport your z straight from the 80s? It’s in such good condition!
Works great, im about ready to wire a toggle switch to mine... Seems like i have to reset it about once a month
Do you reccomend putting Honda bond on the top cap too or not necessary?
I just did the same thing vaccum advance can was bad also, so advance was never working, and magnet was broken in pieces also and yes that guy still carries all parts you need for inside repairs
Instructions unclear. Removed middle bolt as well and nearly died. 0/10
💀same thing almost happened to me
@@mariopena3958 I made a short on my channel about it. I’ll try watching video all the way next time
What exactly was unclear? Did you watch the whole video before you started? I never said/suggested removing the center bolt until the springs were compressed properly.
@@hondatsunfan1011 if you read my reply to mario, i say "ill try watching the video all the way through next time" lol. not your fault at all!
Why did u do this my car will lose power after I hit 2nd gear and shut off before mine died the engine pops a lot and spuders I leave it alone for a bit then it starts again but won’t stay on longer than 5m
Try that with a turbo.
The transmission oil is 75-90? I thought it would be similar viscosity to ATF.
Correct. 75W-90. Check page MA-5 of the Factory Service Manual.
@@hondatsunfan1011 correct me if I’m wrong, I just got my Datsun but I was just reading in a Datsun forum 280ZX are 80-90 not that it’s a HUGE difference. But would a slightly heavier heavier weight be better for an older trans? Edit: I know I’m asking a lot lmao but I just want my new purchase to last a few joyrides haha.
It depends on your climate, honestly, just like engine oil viscosity. Also, most importantly you need GL-4, so you don't dissolve the brass synchros. That's way more important than the slight difference in weight.
@@hondatsunfan1011 You’re the man, I was about to just go grab any oil. Thank you so much.
I did everything in the video with the blank tape inside but I can no longer play anything
Could you play tapes before? Are you sure you reconnected everything properly in the back?
Yes, it worked perfectly and there were no glitches, but after connecting the new 5pins cable to the right hand at the back, it worked properly, but it encountered a problem that melted the iPhone cable. @@hondatsunfan1011
Rewatched your video today. Had to get to my driver seat belt for repair. Helped me take everything apart. Thanks
Brake hoses, not lines.
Great video! Thanks so much for the clear tips and attention to detail👍
Nice video! This does look like the 8V 944 head and not the 16V 944S, however
Your bearing nut you said 25 ft pounds. I think finger tight is what it calls for. The manual says inch pounds would could be the mix up.
I bought a Delmas that’s been sitting for 12 years. The pedal has zero pressure. How do I know if I need the master cylinder or the slave cylinder? Or should I just replace both?
Any of you boys come accross when jumping: ign> abs light goes on> then off and nothing after that?
Great video! Thanks for including the screw type as well, saved me a trip to the shop :)
Hey mate, im looking to do this hack until i get abs pump fixed. Dumb question.. i take it you leave the jumper wire in permanently while driving around?
Yes, you have to leave it in.
So after replacing 02 sensor did the ecu light flash properly??
Yes, it did.
🙏🏾
How do I know if this is the issue? My airbag light is on and the passenger seat light is on. I replaced the seat and no changes
This is a super duper common issue that's easy to try.
It's a common issue. If you don't see the center "Passenger Airbag" LED on in the overhead display, this is the issue.
That color is AWESOME. I have an 83 in Cadet Blue (subtle/grayer blue) and "Fox Silver" which is like a warm grey. Kinda thinking of changing the colorway when I get it repainted!
I used a child’s fishing pole to push through the drain .. worked perfectly and now my ECU unit is talking to my MAP sensor, and on every single try hours and low temps in between.. the mighty Honda Scarab Civic Del Sol starts without hesitation.. thanks for this video it saved me hundreds of dollars in diagnostics
i replaced the bands and it plays now.. but wont rewind 81 280zx
