Today on The Skid Factory, Al takes a 1971 Nissan Skyline, aka, "HakoSuka" for a spirited drive through the Hinterland saying farewell to the original L20A engine.
It's then back to the workshop to talk about the car and some plans that we have for it!
Thanks to Gavin for his patience with us while we planned this build!
If you're after a hint for what engine we're using, have a watch of out NZ series, Theres a few clues there!

I wanna say rb but im thinking vg
Vk56?
4 rotor?
13bt the Toyota one...

“Whether you like it or not, is irrelevant” 😆 love it Al, can’t wait to see what’s in store
“Whether you like it or not, is irrelevant” This needs to be made into a shirt..
Is it your car? no, irrelevant.
love it! I hate purists telling people what to do,
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the sound this car used to make, the editing and dramatic music. Lot of love for this channel and you guys! 🤘
I agree it does sound pretty sweet 👌
As a Canadian, lemme tell you how much I appreciate someone actually saying "zed" when referring to a Nissan Z car. Even a lot of Canadian youtubers say "zee" to cater to the US audience. Also "Datsun" instead of "Dotson" (that one baffles me.)
Obviously for purity reasons Nissans greatest engine ever will be used. The mighty ZD30!
Or TB42 carby
A DI too. Rated for 50psi! ... once.
early DI without proper maintenance gives the best bangs
Nah the 2.7 Terrano turbo diesel 🤪
Barra m8
Nice dramatic shots on the intro. I see Woody got his drone out of the tree finally.
It’s been in more than one!
@@theskidfactory lmfao
Your my new camera man Woody, nice filming!
Who else spotted the Murder Bird take a swipe at the drone ?
@@someyoungguy6990 was trying to work out if it was a falcon or a pigeon, it looks more like a pigeon though. Unless it was a black falcon but a black would of kept coming.
If Al has had 5 years to think about this build, you know whatever engine is fitted, the build will be epic.
Might depend on what the owner wants, and owners can be weird haha
@@jameswood1935 It’s Al’s car
@@HJZ75driver At several points he address the fact that a guy named Gavin owns it... lol
Great work on the driving sequence. It came together beautifully, but I can imagine the amount of work it took to film and edit. Looking forward to this blasphemous project ;)
Al, Woody and and you should collaborate on a car. Something affordable but crazy. It’ll be an awesome build for sure. Will be like BOM down under 🦾
About 2.5 hours filming and 40 hours editing for a few minutes.
Noice!
@@theskidfactory well worth it and a fitting farewell to the running gear ....sr
Great intro, music and camera work were on point! Turbo Yoda’s driving was the perfect driver. To think how far you guys have come in production work 👍
Not bad for a bloke with a couple of gopros, a cheap drone and a canon 80D. 😂
@@theskidfactory for a tight crew, you guys have done great!
@@theskidfactory It's not the cost of the tool that makes it work. It's the skill of the person using it !!
That is the most beautiful car I have ever seen
I bet you’re going to put in Al’s secret favorite engine. The one he publicly shames but covertly adores because he’s been binge-watching Swedish RUclips-videos about it. A turbocharged Volvo Redblock it is going to be. Tasteful choice 👌🏻
I think the engine that's going in is exactly what Gav wants because it's his car and the rest of us can bugger off with our thoughts! I just can't wait to see what ya'll do with it. I'm sure it'll be excellent.
Brilliant opening scene. The camera work, the editing, the music, all top notch. Gave me goosebumps. Love your work fellas.
Lovely work on the opening montage Woody, I’ve been a Tv Director since last century and a bit, all good choices, great opening narrative, nicely colour balanced. Good music choice . Professional standard work all round.
Agree 100%
This blew my mind also.. the Production quality was through the roof… the soundstage was Epic!
That opening sequence! One thing about the old L series 6, they sound great!
I had drifted away from the channel for a while and not watched many of the recent builds. This though has my full attention.
My choice would be a high compression, high revving, NA RB26 on ITBs.
High revving, reliable, powerful, natural aspirated. Is a pipe dream unless you own a racing team. Not remotely practical for your typical automobile enthusiast. You could say it's unobtainable for 99% of us. Nice idea though.
That’s what i was thinking. If its an LS or a Barra, i think I’ll cry
Well he said it's a "special engine" that they have on the way. So that rules out any Barra or LS, fortunately.
Just wanna say this is a brilliant episode and no matter what you do I'll be keenly watching! TSF is one of the best shows on RUclips.
Keep up the awesome content guys!
what a sick car.
cant wait for this build
RB26......... legends cant wait to see this build in future episodes.....SEND IT
Brilliant production work lads!! Lots of time spent there and it's noticed and appreciated. Love your channel since the beginning and never miss a video. I can't understand why there isn't 1M subscriber's? Keep it up
Genuinely intrigued to see what engine might end up in it.
While it wouldn't require the overseas trip, a N/A high compression RB30/26 could have been a sweet upgrade and would easily double the horsepower.
Nah, too close to type ;)
RB's being essentially the successor to the L engine wouldn't hack off the PuRiStS enough
If they are going away from purity but also something nuts and cool, it might actually be a 1GZ-FE if they're THAT crazy, would be awesome but no way
Well that gave me chills. What a beauty!
Gavin is so passionate about that car. He’s one to take it slow and very particular, for good reason too 💪🏽
Yeah booooy! What a lovely looking peach of a car for a resto mod!
Everything about the Hako is gorgeous. It will look good forever, I think. Timeless.
Opening scene was like watching the original Italian job opener, half expected Matt Monro and a JCB to turn up. Great production work guys-gets better & better!
Well said mate
You must be my age :-)
@@alexbrown1995 Just old at heart mate, 27
"Whether you like it or not, its irrelevant" love it!. Im a purist but i really love seeing what people do in terms of mods, like Rocky auto
Cool. I can't even begin to remember the last time I had to pull the choke knob to start a car.
Legends for taking on the restomod,
I'd love to see some OS Giken work,
But that would take the 'Purity' to the next level up...10000rpm...
TC24-B1 or TC24-B1Z 🥰
Cheers Yoda and Woody.
That's my guess but probably stroked to 3.2L ish?
Very well said. The owner owns the car. This comes with the special right, s/he does what s/he wants with the vehicle. And we're keen to watch it!
No need for excuses, however I see your reasons...;)
Can't wait for the build to start!
That's the first car I've seen you do that I think is beautiful. Purity comes from the look and the noise it makes, doesn't matter what makes the noise.
That thing sounds mint as is. New engine hopefully sounds betterer!
@ :O
This brings back memories of my grandpas skyline. Skylines where apart of growing up for me in our family. This car deserves a vr30 or vr38, but given its about total disrespected purity its probably getting a VK
full dis v8 would be uz or ur, or dare i say it L......
I like to see people people modinise older cars like this to make them more comfortable to drive, more reliable and more practical in this day and age. Super looking forward to this build. (I don't care if you put an LS, barra, rotory or Cummins. As long as old mate is happy with his choice)
Here are some of my guesses! Looking forward to the build
- The classic RB26DETT
- RB26DE from the rare R32s
- L28ET from a 280zx
- VH41DE or VH45DE
Still to pure lad.
He wouldn't need travel for any of those
@@darianistead2239 More plentiful in NZ, plus Hartley engines make some mint VHs
@@ollie786 I'm from Auckland bro😉..
The only thing I think they'd get in NZ is a Hartley V8, can get the rest here in Aus easy enough.
@Jane 24 y.o - check my vidéó TCan't tell if this is a smart spam bot that copies previous comments or not, but the series is out now. They used a Hartley VK56
That pause and the ding of the fluro firing was such a nostalgic feel!
Nissan VRT35 💪🏾 I loved the heads up about the car. Screw the haters. Nothing wrong with being different.
Holy cow. Brilliant. Really looking forward to this.
And I reckon a OS Giken TC24 B1Z
Obviously it's going to be a mighty A12 with all of the TOMIE parts.
Oh that sound is glorious!!!
It’s the Skid Factory, whatever engine they picked, it’s going to be an awesome series!!!
Just to throw it out there since I've been obsessing about them being the next Japanese hot rod engine, I'm gonna say a VK56. Loads of modern NA power.
God I hope it is, a heated up one with dort trumpets would be amazing
I instantly hoped VK56, probably with a TR6060 or something. Could you imagine seeing one of these, making that noise? Haha
@@fellowship_of_the_goat Oooh an ITB VK56 would be crazy!!!
@@TorqHub Would be insane. They make adapter kits for the CD009/CD00A so I'd imagine that would be a good trans choice. 350Z/370Z rear end. Keep everything Nissan and strong!
Only if they're going full tube chassis because there's no way that will fit between the shock towers
Rb30de would be rad. Whatever it is I’m chuffed 👌🏼 This car is a unicorn in Australia
Triple rotary out of a cosmo. Would explain the overseas and the time taken as they arent cheap or that easy to find I believe?
Triple rotary alot easier than 4rotor. Multiple shops in australasia offer 3rotor packages while only limited have stock/source of 4rotor cranks. I sure hope Al does a rotary series.
I would assume it's a v8, probably not of Japanese origin. Probably built stateside..
Shit, his last comment makes me think rotary. And probably 3rotor considering 2rotor is fairly easy to source
VQ35 perfect 👌
@@gigglepin won't fit in
@@syygnis "that's what she said"
I'd love to see a 2J just so I could call it the Hakosupra
Niceeee
Rocky Auto has already done that
Use your time machine Marty and go ahead in time have a look and come back and tell us. I'd put a blacktop 3sge into it
More likes already than your 4X4 video. Wonder why🤷 thankyou for getting back the the Skid Factory videos we are all here for!
Love the intro guys. Well done. In keeping with the Japanese theme a 1gz-fe would fill that engine bay very nicely👍🏻
As much as that bird swooping the drone was slightly terrifying, it was timed pretty well and made for a cool shot!
Yeah i saw that as well!
As there was mention of 4-6-8-12 cylinders... I think Rotory. 13B or 20B
Yeah can't be done again if you tried !!!
Coming over the bridge at around 1:00 if you didn't see it
Your videos just get better and better awesome work skid factory !!! Great content
"could fit four, six, eight, twelve cylinders into this thing..."
red herring, ain't gonna be no cylinders involved.
Tesla setup
20B ?
@@jameswood1935 The 'overseas' tip suggests that... a lot of 2/3/4 rotor engines coming out of NZ
@@dylanbrooks546 Dang, I forgot the NZ trip! It all makes sense! Brap brap!
@Shane888 Davies All engines suck. Don't you watch Gale Banks?
Nz trip when you visited the guy with the awd micra. He had 2 other vehicles of great interest. A slammed Navara with a VK45 and I think a Gloria with a VK56. Seeing as Al has done a VK45 he may choose that because he is familiar with fittment etc or he may want the challenge of the 56. Im going VK45 with itbs. To keep with that traditional NA intake growl.
I was thinking VH45 as well
spoiler
vk56 for the win..
Love it. Do what ever the hell you want Gav! Can't wait to see the result!
That cinematic intro was well put together 👌
Thanks for the tips homie!
I reckon it could be an autech NA RB26. Or maybe an RB20?
Rb20 would suit it better
those double headlights get me
such a beautiful car
Braaap braaap braaap braaap
Looking forward to seeing this with an OM606 and a huge turbo!
Best build on this channel probably ❤️
The first thing on everyone's mind is probably RB... and you're going overseas to get\build an engine. Don't need to go overseas for an rb26. LS seems too dull for such a car. Also... how far overseas? I'd assume japan, but maybe you're coming state side to build something fun.
My guess, there is no engine but a motor... an electric motor. Al and Woody are going electric boys! Nothing purer than magic pixie power.
i think he means new zealand and possibly a vk56, he said to look at the nz series at that engine was in it and not as common in ausi, or even a rotory
Absolutely love that you hammered the "purists" exactly right, not their car or not their money!!
can't wait to see what happens with it!!
Im guessing you're back to NZ and going a 20B Rotor for it
if you don't have one, you have no say in it. love that. so true.....I also don't have one just a valid point
Surely it’s gotta be a Toyota engine. 3GR-FSE supercharged out of a Mark X would be mint and sound amazing.
As a guess rb24s as you mentioned a special engine. I assume it'll stay Nissan family and rb25/26 etc will be relatively easy to obtain in aus.
Obviously dressed with a haltech ecu and a modern turbo.
You guys rock and it'll make my year to have a react or comment off you legends. Sending my skids from the UK 😁
He said a modern engine :D
@@zacharykarr well its relatively modern compared to the car itself, I doubt I'm right but a oddball engine none the less
What a cool car, the sound and the look. Then the bonnet opened forward, even cooler. I get the purity thing, but bring it on, stick whatever Gav needs it to be, I cant wait and see.
Amazing intro Woody/guys! Well done, can't wait to watch this new series.
All I can hear is the entire interballs screaming out “not an LS” in unison.
Lads ain't going the the Land of the Rising Sun for no LS swap!!
My dream car nicest body lines I've ever seen on a 2 door...imo.
Really hope it’s a rotary
No matter what goes in, I’m keen to see how this build turns out.
Restomod with a focus on mod. A VR30DDTT would be great for this car’s next decade.
Agree this would be the perfect compact modern engine for this car and keeps it in the family
0-2.30 absolutely awesomeness!!
K series? Seems about the right level of impurity to upset many
F20 to upset the Nissan purists and the K series fanboys
Prius driveline would upset more
@@truey90s Tesla swap
@@austindoud273 gee-whiz swap
@@austindoud273 It would be cool but the only people who have the know how is EV West and their kits "Are Not Cheap!"
In a long enough timeline, everything gets an LS - Mr. Regular
Obviously we are all over bigger and wilder powerplant, but the OG Hako lump certainly sounded the boy! Great opener lads!
How's the production quality. Woody's going for a Webby.
Ever notice that every person checks the gear stick for neutral twice? Always a slap , slap, .......... Clutch and Key
We did a few takes of that shot, Alan actually checks once but I Made him do two
@@theskidfactory mainly us oldies who do that. 57 plus
I check more if someone is standing around... I've not had them, but I've witnessed bad accidents.
Tis better to check twice, than look like a chooch in front of a whole bunch of guys who’ll never let you forget it.
Usually check even if i was the last to drive you never know.
I must say, I have been waiting and waiting for someone to do one of these. Super stoked its Skid Factory!! This is gonna be incredible!!!
im gonna say an RB tho hahahaha just hoping its not an ls.... its gonna be an LS hahahaha
i know this is blasphemy, but i hope it stays n/a because the l20 sounds amazing. Hartley v12 or maybe the destroked v8
Yea the Hartley v12!!!
A Honda K series would be the ultimate middle finger to purity.
I was thinking that too, its better than an sr20 tons of rwd transmission options, lightweight, lots of power, big aftermarket support. ITBs if you want that old school carbi look.
Love it the more Al feeds it the further the jaw sticks out awsome.
I'd say you will be using a straight 6 engine, and THE best one is a Barra.
A barra will give it a 90:10 weight distribution 😂
nah, the sohc is the lawds engine
Would love to see the Rising Sun flag be integrated in the new engine like on the old one
Ah yes, why not put a Nazi-Flag on it while you're at it.
I'll never understand how insensitive people all over the world are about the plight caused by the fascist japanese empire.
@@hobbitilius the flag has a much longer history that originates before WWII (all the way back to feudal Japan) and is typically used to symbolize the traditional Japanese culture. I'm more than aware what some Japanese soldiers have done under fascist rule but I could point out atrocities committed by people under almost any flag of the world.
Maybe they can just integrate the modern day flag instead.
Finally some non-diesel content again :D love it. Can't wait to see what engine you've chosen for this beauty.
Im hoping for something cool like a 3 rotor, love some spinning doritos
I’m thinking a RB25det with some mild performance mods would go well.
Hell yeah, sad but happy at the same time!
Hopefully he keeps all the old parts just in case.
If you're upgrading the brakes it's gotta be a Judd V10 right? That way you keep the purity of not being able to stop.
Edit: dumbarse spelling
Purity be damned. EV conversion 👌
What an absolute beaut.
VR36 DETT , straight to point educating the masses on stuff that shouldn't need explaining, it's his car its his choice 👍really enjoy the content you're both putting out keep it up
Such a beautiful car ❤️
Awesome work Al, a little sad the little classic won't be original anymore
Best car ever on skid very cool
Some mad as balls Rotary creation that sounds like a 2 stroke on a cold morning
Big ol Barra would slip in beautifully !
Finallllly someone not scared to do something to one of these! So keen for this
A BMW m50 would be sick and really unpure. Heres hoping. No matter what, this build has awesomesauce written all over it.
I'm with Gav. Its his vision. Get your own. I'm also with turbo yoda being that he's ok with a 26b. Excited to see what Gav chose and how the boys wiggle it all in to fruition. Epic project
I’m kinda hoping they’ll throw everyone’s pre conceived notions out the window, and install something no one would ever expect to see in there. I’d love to see something like an AMC 4.0 litre Straight 6. Great engine, great exhaust note, and so much torque, you’ll rip the road up behind you.
I don’t think it will, because they seem to be hinting a japanese motor, but that could be to throw us off the scent.
makes my heart all warm and fuzzy to see that this car has been in good care and held on the road
The greatest engine ever made.... 1uzfe 🥰🥰
