DIY projects and custom fabrication. From woodworking to race cars and everything in between.
Big ol nasty storm came through Indiana while we were on Vacation in Georgia...
Shortly after arriving in Savannah for our vacation we found out a big ol storm came through and the tree next tour house decided we needed a new skylight. After some late night phone calls to make sure everything was as good as it could be and our dogs and dog/house sitter were safe and back at a home with no fresh skylights and power we were able to get a couple hours of sleep. Then after finally getting ahold of insurance and scheduling an assessment we were able to enjoy the last couple days of our trip. This is my first reaction to seeing some of the damage in our area and our home.

Is the quick release necessary, or can you just get the NRG Hub and an NRG steering wheel?
No you don't have to have the quick release but if you're going to put racing seats in I highly recommend the quick release
Where did you get can you drop a link
Very much appreciated. Wasn't obvious to me, looking at the engine from above.
Great video! Looking forward to your next update! 🤟🐝
How do you get the horn to work?
Would a nrg 250 Gm work as the 250 cf?
Did the turn signals still work?
Yea, the turn signals still work just fine as well as the brights
What did you do about the horn
Can u give me the part numbers to everything u used I’m looking to do mine
It's in the description
@@avrgjoe and any nrg wheel will bolt up ?
If you're using an NRG wheel I would assume it would bolt to the NRG hub
You selling your original wheel?
I can, I thought I tossed it in the trash but it's still on my shelf airbag and all... how much and what's your zip so I can figure out shipping? You can email me at avrgjoesgarage@gmail.com as well
Liked this video just because all the freedom in that steering wheel.
Can i add any quick release to the hub or does it have to be the 250CF
Any 6 bolt quick release should work with the hub but the hubs are vehicle specific. The 250cf I think was just the low profile with Carbon Fiber ring. And it doesn't have to be an NRG quick release either as long as it's a 6 bolt... there are some 5 bolt hub/ quick release/ wheel combos out there too but I don't have any info on those
@@avrgjoeso the gen 2 NRG quick release works with the nrg hub made for Firebirds
@PS1 Hagrid yea the part that bolts to the hub should have the same 6 bolt pattern
@@avrgjoedope. I’m doing my first quick release in a 95 trans am
Hey man did u ever find a solution to the airbag light
I'm still working on that, I've got a horn button I want to swap on to the wheel and I will take care of that then but the short of it is you take a 3.9k resistor and wire it to the two wires that come out of the clock spring and it should fix it... but I haven't personally tested that yet
@@avrgjoe sounds good I ordered the resistor online 👍🏻
did you not hook up your horn?
The cleetus wheel didn't come with a horn button just a center emblem... so no I don't currently have a horn on the car
Awesome steering wheel x,x
$70???????? for a switch bracket wtf
auriez vous un lien pour le volant svp, je ne le vois pas dans la description , merci
Si t'es prêt à mettre 300 dollars dans un volant fonce ahah
@@arthurchauvin1145 je veut deja un pont mdrrr
When I’m taking off the original steering wheel what’s the nut size behind the airbag?? I’m trying to replace it but I don’t know the size so I can’t get my steering wheel to stay on
It's at the very beginning of the video, but the bolts for the airbag are T25 torx
The socket size for the steering wheel is also in the video, I thinks a 21mm.
Bro where’d you get the add a circuit I added one and my fuse panel cover doesn’t fit over the add a circuit
It's just a generic one from O'Reillys... is it seated down all the way? My cover still stays on fine, look me up in Instagram @average_joes_garage if you send me some pics I might be able to help
@@avrgjoe that’s exactly where I got mine, and you’re using the gauges fuse spot right? Cuz I tapped into the same one. I’m pretty sure I have it all the way down as well
@@catfissh which direction do you have the fuses facing? Yes, its in the gauges 10a position... Fuse #9 on the chart. And I have the fuses facing down... but now that I'm looking at it the fuse block isn't attached to my dash at the top, its bolted at the bottom and has some flex which might allow my cover to stay on
@@avrgjoe yea that’s exactly what I’m going to do, I hate seeing all the fuses exposed.
@@avrgjoe and they’re facing down just like yours are
What's the part# for the quick release? Thanks
It's in the description, don't know it off hand... I think I put a link for it in there too
Ok thanks 👍
Mannnnnn that sucks. Sorry to see that
oo 4th gen and 3rd gen hell yeah
All around it's a good truck. I have a 2002 wit 160K. Will take u anywhere. Have to change a few parts here and there but runs like a cheetah
Did you ever install the resistor? Swapping mine soon but can’t find a definite answer on resistor size
Not yet, I've kinda been slacking on that
@@avrgjoe I picked up some 2.2- 3.3 1/2 watt, I’ll see how it goes
Your horn should yell " Merica F@#k Yeah"
Hammer it from the back always works
I’ve got a 99 z28 heavily modified at about 500 hp all motor. We’ve got the same shift knob lol
I hit 470hp on the dyno last fall, haven't dialed in the tune yet, it was running pretty lean... 416 with 12:1 compression and some massive valves lol
Can you put any type of steering wheel on that steering hub? Im going for the “Grant Race GT wheel”
I believe Grant uses a 5 bolt pattern, NRG uses a 6 bolt... but im not 100% on that
@@avrgjoe okay cool thanks. I’ll look into it
Nice! Where do you get the tool to take the original steering wheel off?
Thats just a steering wheel puller, you should be able to get that from autozone, O'Reillys, advanced, napa, or even amazon
@@avrgjoe cool, what about the star/ alley key for the 4 bolts on the back side of the original wheel?
@@C-DOT that's a torx wrench, I think I got that set at Harbour Freight, but should be able to find at any autoparts store or Amazon as well!
What part number is the NRG quick release hub? If you still have that info please and thank you
I put them in the description, can't remember off hand
Will a 5 bolt steering wheel fit on the nrg quick release?
No its a 6bolt hub
Part # for the hub?
SRK-170H for the 4th gen NRG hub.
Love this truck, buying mine tomorrow
Are you able to explain what happens if I take off my clock spring
Your airbag light comes on... I've heard if you put in a resistor it will go away but have not yet tried it
@@avrgjoe if I take it out will it also make it harder to turn
@@RenoTM_ no, it doesn't affect turning at all
@@avrgjoe i got a 2005 so i dont know if its different at all or what
@@RenoTM_ a 2005 what? There's no camaro or firebird for that year
what about your horn? did you delete that too?
Yea the cleetus center cap doesn't have a horn option but the NRG hub allows for a horn
@@avrgjoe awesome! Thanks for that info.
Dont give up in this man
Thanks for the video! Really helpful. Besides the wheel itself and the NRG quick release hub, was there other items you needed to buy for the itself? Or just the little bit of fabrication to get the hub to fit in place? Wanting to order the stuff soon myself to swap my wheels out.
You will have to remove the clock spring to fit pretty much any aftermarket hub there's no way around that. If you don't want to have an air bag light you'll need to put in a resistor on the clock spring wires afterwards. I've seen other people use a 3.9k resistor but I haven't tested it for myself yet. I did find a pack of 100 for $6 on Amazon though. But yea all I purchased was the Hub, quick release, and wheel. You can rent a steering wheel puller from O'Reillys if you don't have one.
Heck yea I got a 99 trans am I’m about to swap the steering wheel in did you get the steering wheel lined up straight first try? Does the nrg splined adapter have a notch in the splines like the stock steering wheel?
No it doesn't have the notch but it does have alignment dots, as long as you have the wheel straight when you start you can eyeball it pretty good first try
xr-underground.com/threads/faq-complete-x-runner-specs.12357/ If you're needing some information, this is the best place to look. Xrunner is reliable, apart from the Aisin AY6 gearbox. Some people get lucky and have no issues, others (like me) have trouble with the synchronizers. 21 gallon tank, not 15. I get 21-22mpg highway, 17.5mpg average over the last 2 years of mixed driving.
Any driving videos of the 4th gen camaro ?
Not recently... I need to get some gopro mounts and hit up some more events... I've really just been enjoying it lately
How much mpg do you get on this ?
Around 18mpg on the highway if I remember correctly
@@avrgjoe another question sorry 😂 how much gas can the x runner hold ?
@@avrgjoe sorry one last question how much does it cost to fill up the tank fully? And is the x runner reliable ?
I think it has about a 15gal tank and it was super reliable for us... we put 70k miles on ours and I pretty much just did basic maintenance and regular oil changes... had 135k miles on it when we traded it in
You know I been waiting on a new video ! Good shit man your a beast 🔥🔥🔥

May I suggest an electric cutout with wireless remote,that's what I have, got it from a company called Spelab couple months bk,seems to b working fine
I do plan on an electric cutout... been eyeballing the QTP cutouts... I also have a side project I'm working to see if I can make a "OEM" cutout switch using the SGS button location on the dash... keep an eye out for that one I'm hoping it turns out pretty sweet
@@avrgjoe I was tryn to go with QTP but they didn't have wireless key fob option,makes wiring install so much easier
Nooooooo !!!! You just hot-started that poor sensor :( That is probably how its older brother died. Those are CERAMIC sensor elements. They heat up to 1450°F, once the gauge is powered up. Hitting it with a blast of relatively cold/wet startup exhaust WILL fracture the sensor element. And, the result is, usually, what happened with your 1st gauge/sensor.
This is how AEM instructed me to check my sensor. I sent them pieces of this video as confirmation of a bad sensor and was sent a replacement... the new sensor I received has been working just fine for the past couple weeks
@@avrgjoe Yes. That "rag test" is their test procedure. I HOPE that they did not tell you to hot-start the new sensor. Or, they can be expecting another replacement call, soon .:)
I guess I'm not sure what you mean by hot starting it
@@avrgjoe As soon as you apply power to the gauge, it starts heating the sensor's ceramic element up to 1450°F ( glowing orange hot ). When you let that happen, then start the engine, it is like throwing ice-water on a hot windshield, in the sun, in July, at noon, in Arizona, etc. Cracks form and spread, just like in a windshield. The cracks cause air leaks that ruin the calibration. Then, they start hitting the electrical traces. And, the sensor starts to flake out. Eventually, they hit something vital. And, the sensor is completely done. The engine needs to be started within about 5 seconds of powering up the gauge. So that the rush of cold/wet exhaust hits before the sensor is up to temperature. This is the cause of over 90% of premature WB sensor deaths. OEM ECUs know when the engine is already running. So, they don't start heating the sensor until idle is established. Aftermarket controllers don't know when the engine is running. AND customers complain if they take too long to start reading. So, their manufacturers use minimum specified delays, at start-up.
@@lordandprotector Gotchya, yea that could have been the death of the first one, i had the car keyed on messing with HPtuners and then fired it up after it had been on for a couple minutes. This one was never on for more than the time it took to hook it to the battery and go to start it. This was AEMs suggestion to test for bad wiring. I will definitely keep that in mind for in the future though... Thank you for the heads up!!!
Awesome,great job on getting that Fbody bk on the road n ripping like she should
