    Good job! Nice to see an actual quality build on YT for a change, although from you, it's a standard! Good job!

    dude, you are an artist, a scientist, and an engineer!...probably the best mechanic in north america. i hope the owner paid you a king's ransom, and the former "mechanic" hangs his head in shame and realizes he needs to get out of the business for the good of all.

    Must be a bit frustrating when customers dont listen to you. He would have saved paying for a dynosession if the valvetrain had been fixed beforehand. It is interesting to see the projects you work on but cant wait until you get back to your own project!

      This is the classic case of a costumer that thinks to make a good car all you have to do is throw expensive parts at it that say "high performance" and the previous "mechanic" is the kind of guy that thinks that to be a mechanic all you need to do is turn some wrenches.

    Your customer was very lucky he brought the car to you, would have been a difficult fix for a gtr specialist let alone a regular shop, so many problems with it!

    So happy with this Canadian content. You go guys! Love your videos. Being in Toronto I love that I know someone who can work on these cars local. I have a z32 built (what the other owner said with a bill of 5 grand) . Well the motor burnt 2 pistons and had to redo everything. Thanks to all the JDM mechanics in the Toronto area. Car makes 600 whp with some old 2560 Garrett bb turbos at 21 psi. On the street I run 17 psi making 550. It would be nice if you had a cars and coffee this summer after this covid lockdown.

    The car is definitely not spinning the four wheels at the same time.
    Also why didn't you degree the camshaft properly with the engine on the stand ? Valve clearance is a critical part of timing ....
    Glad you got it all together in the end : )

    My gtr is also in the process of getting fixed. Thing is, i was planning only a bottom end refresh. But you said 145 psi compression is quite low which I have. At the same time, my gtr eats almost no oil at all, so Im pretty sure ring seal is spot on (or that's what I think lol). What would be your advice? I don't want to go to crazy if it's not needed...

    It seems like everyone who previously worked on the GTR was the worst DIYer in Canada. Also I think if you plan to be including test drives in your videos in future you should invest in some camera mounts for inside the car because that was some pretty shaky footage.

    Its interesting how some people just can't leave good enough alone. Thankfully, I'm not one of them. Car engineering costs millions of dollars to get a high performance engine such as in what we used to call The Godzilla.
    Having said that, I love the work you do and I'm looking forward to seeing the manual conversion on the Mercedes-Benz being completed.

  • @magnetic0314
    @magnetic0314 3 года назад +3

    The constant slagging off of the individual who built the engine originally, is not doing you any favours. You need to remember that you too are an amateur mechanic and have made numerous mistakes and oversights throughout the life of this channel, and even this particular build. I'm not saying this to bring you down, but as encouragement to stay humble.

    • @33blue
      @33blue 3 года назад +4

      Dude, the previous mechanic deserve harsher words. He fucked up someone's car and got paid for it. The guy who you call an "amateur" fixed all of that, and I wouldn't call someone who has the skills to design and build a custom race car an amateur. He's already humble.

    • @magnetic0314
      @magnetic0314 3 года назад +1

      I'm not saying the original "mechanic" that built the engine isn't a dickhead, I'm saying this guy's work is not free from mistakes either, so he needs to show a bit more humility. He fixed this car, yes, but not without fault.
