Compress the piston in using the old brake pad next time.
Ryan said his boss does it with the pad too.. i'll try that way next time for sure. thanks for the great input :)
i cringed when i saw the c clamp being used on the edge of the piston. ive seen people cock them doing it that way.
Thats a great hint thanks dude!
@@milsgaragewhat mm socket for caliper bolt 19?
My channel locks weren't big enough so I placed them on the inside and opened them up. It worked fine.
Damn I love your videos , you act so humble and thorough with your explanations. You don’t act like you know more and don’t have that “ why am I even explaining this you should already know” attitude
hey Juan! your comments always make me feel awesome. :D thank you so much for your support!
Great video
Really professional
Like you guys better when joking around
But it was a really good step by step video
Keep the good work and stay safe
thanks buddy! it takes so much more time to make this style of instructional video.. it's hard for me to tell which videos will be received the best, so your feedback is incredibly appreciated. thank you so much! stay awesome 😎
Just ordered my centric brake kit from Rockauto. Found a discount code so it was 255. Thanks for the advice man! They get here by next Thursday and me and my bud will put them on that Sunday! You’re the man!
Awesome! Any time Eduardo! Thank you for your support! 💯 🤟😎👍
Could you have used your brake pad ones you took off instead of using to c clamps😳
The best and most informative video on RUclips for a G35 rotor/brake installation!
we're glad to help! thank you for your support! 🤟😎👍
Joe Dirt really impressed with those pythons 💪🏻
😂👍
yoooo that’s who i was thinking about 😂
If you have some free time can show us how to replace the headlight bulb, and park light on a infiniti g35
I don’t even know if you will see this, but I have watched this video so many times just to keep the knowledge fresh in my head. Question though, what size bolts are on the back of the rotor? (The ones holding the caliper to the rotor) should I have that size in my socket set? Any ways, thanks for posting videos about G35’s there aren’t many 👍🏻keep up the good work!
hey Travis, the Caliper Bolts are 21mm. i have the sizes and torque specs in our Wheel Hub Replacement video for reference [ ruclips.net/video/KAKKICX2wVU/видео.html ]. i think you should have a 21mm, but i just recently found that my traveling socket set only goes up to 19mm, so you might want to check. i currently have 3 more G35 videos on the editing block, so lots more G coming up :) thank you for your support!
Changing brakes now. THANKS SO MUCH FOR VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GBYAY!!!
Any time Ken! Keep up the great work 🤘🤘🤘
Have little to no experience with cars but you’ve honestly helped me out so much thank you for your videos I appreciate it 🤙🏽
Awesome! That was the goal 🤘🤘🤘 i really appreciate your support!
Cross drilled rotors DO NOT CAUSE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. They are fine on daily driven vehicles because daily driven vehicles WILL NEVER see brake temperatures associated with track cars. When using cross drilled rotors on a vehicle that sees regular track events. The heat can build up in the rotors and cause stress cracks. Thus, it is better to use slotted rotors for track use. Manufacturers like Ferrari, Lamborghini and many others have been using cross drilled rotors on DAILY DRIVEN CARS for years as have I. With proper use, you WON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OUT OF CROSS DRILLED ROTORS EVER. Also, cross drilled rotors cool down faster during normal operation and they weigh a little less do to the cross drilled holes in the rotor.
So you’re saying i’m right under certain conditions? Then i’m glad i said it exactly like i did. :)
Nicely done, very informative.
I usually use the old brake pad with the clamp to compress the pistons back.
Great, me too at this point 🤘
I watched this whole video knowing my ass isn't going to attempt this, but I just wanted to see still. I noticed from the video the front brake pads are bigger than the rear brake pads?......interesting. I was never aware of this since I usually just buy the parts and hand it over to my brother to finish the job. I was freaking out wondering if I got the right brake pads bc I don't remember the boxes being different sizes for front and rear brake pads which made me opened the brake pads box, then I noticed the front pads were bigger than the rear.
Knowledge is power. 👍 Yes, the rear calipers and pads are smaller than the front, because it helps keep the car facing forward when slamming on the brakes at high speed 🤓
I know this is an old video.....I thought the spring tab on the upper went INTO the pad hoop.....it looks like you just pressed it over...not one video on YT shows this little detail :(
i might do an updated video on brakes, as i’ve become much more knowledgeable in the last 6 years 👍
Can u provide a link for where you got rotors I’ll subscribe lol
RockAuto.com 👍
dump the goofy music. especially when speaking.
This episode was made years ago, so i recommend watching the newer stuff, because this is my job and i’ve already adjusted my editing.. Tbh, there isn’t much reward for making these videos, but i continue because it’s who i am
You might have forgotten to mention to pump the brakes before initial take-off LOL
Definitely pump them up *O_O*
A trick I do when I compress the caliper, is I use the old pads to compress the pistons so it'll do it evenly
@Rickk R. Absolutely great advice sir 💯
“Rotors and brakes”
you forgot to remove the upper caliper slide pin, clean it grease it, replace it!
i mean, i did, but definitely grease both pins. 👍
Quick question, I’m looking around for vented rotors Amazon keeps bringing up slotted and drilled also other websites only have drilled and slotted
Most rotors in 2022 are vented, and OEM spec replacements can be found at RockAuto.com
@@milsgarage thanks for the help! Highly appreciative of your content brother
My hole rotor is painted black should I wipe down with brake cleaner or naw
They’re putting interesting coatings on these days.. i’d spray them, but i’d believe it if they had new rust-resistant finishes that don’t require the preservative stuff. The brake clean shouldn’t hurt the finish, but you could always test a small spot to see how it reacts 👍
Best video I’ve seen but damn all these years and I just noticed the balencis
Thank you! 🤘🤘🤘 i really appreciate your support 👍
I got my rear brake calibers on my 2005 350z mixed up and not sure which side goes to which (dont have the box it came with because I turned my old ones in) now after I repainted them idk which ones goes to which side (never done this before) what should I look for the know which sides it goes to?
the bleeder valves go on top. so do the wear detectors.
I torqued my bolt to 110 ft lbs and it snapped thanks alot
Your bolt sucks. You're welcome.
What size dice do I need to remove caliper assembly bolts
i definitely cover this 👍
Hi, I was researching how to change my brakes and rotors since I got a quote and the mechanic told me it was going to cost around $700 to replace both my rear rotors and brake pads... my question is where is your garage located and how much do you charge for this repair? I’m pretty sure that with all the things needed that it’s out of my range of capabilities this early on... I’m gonna need to pay someone lol, but as a girl I’m skeptical that I’m going to get over charged for lack of knowledge.
$700 for 2x brakes and rotors? Are you buying some name brand drilled and slotted rotors? i've heard of $300 for 2x brakes and rotors for labor, but that's on the high end. The nicer rear rotors and brake pad kits on RockAuto.com run about $95 shipped. All together you'd be looking at ~$400 at a nice high end shop.. Are you at Mercedes? Are you driving a Mercedes or $70,000+ car? We're currently running a price of $420 for the labor of all 4 brakes and rotors + cost of parts. Wanna road trip to Delaware? Keep in mind all of these prices are today's rates. Maybe the other mechanic is working in 2025 prices, where candy bars cost $6.50 already
You don't need to fear being overcharged if you take the time to educate yourself on the cost of parts and estimate labor.... I mean you're on the video that shows you how to do it or make those estimations....
Don't choose helplessness :)
Lol, ur point exactly.. I’m on this video. It’s for a reason. But hey, thanks for the “advice”
question i need to change my rear brake caliper , do i need to bleed the brake lines too?
You should at least bleed the brake line that you worked on. Don’t want air pockets in the lines 👍
these are the type of mechanic I would trust and want to work with my 04 infiniti g35 coupe...
wow, thanks so much for your support! if you're in the Wilmington area and ever need anything done, definitely hit us up :D
Mils Garage you're very welcome bro... awesome and very informative videos.. Im subscribing!!!
I live in Los Angeles Ca near downtown.. (I dont know which Wilmintong area you are.. is it the one near Long Beach?) or is it in another state?
sweet! awesome! LA? we have lots of friends in entertainment out there :D i'll definitely have to get out that way some time.. hahahaha oops, i never said "delaware".. it's the little state south of NYC 😂 i wish i was near long beach lol one day though.. do u post shots of ur G?
does sedan's rotors fit for coupe?
Sorry for the delay! i've been really sick all week with the flu. i've never tried to swap the rotors like that, but the way RockAuto lists some specifically for the Sedan and others for the Coupe leads me to believe they have different specs
Just found your channel. Your acts are cute af. Lost my interest on my g35 from you lol
LOL Thank you for finding the channel!
Do you have a link to these rotors?
👉 Rockauto.com 👍
Yoo they fucking quoted me $600 to replace my rotors. Fuck that, this looks like a cakewalk. Gonna do it my self. It seems easier than replacing a phone screen lol .
Thanks for this insightful video!
@mr.T T Yeah? $600 doesn't sound terrible, depending on what they're installing and how much time it takes them to do stuff, but that's exactly what this video is for. Keep up the good work Mr. T T 👍
@@milsgarage Got all the parts today from the parts store for 250 today. Including tools n grease etc!
@mr.T T Awesome. Feels good to own the tools after the job. Makes the future easier.
I'm replacing all my rotors, calibers and pads they where all warped
What about bleeding the system?
Pop the brake fluid reservoir when compressing the pistons, and watch a video on bleeding techniques if you need to know how
Do you have the link to the rotors you got ?
Rockauto.com is constantly changing their inventory, but they should still have Centric parts 👍
I'm looking for a exhaust but I'm on a budget... And recommendations?
absolutely! we have an entire series on budget exhaust solutions for the G35 [ ruclips.net/p/PLb1yla77QSRhHetRyP1EvIFUXLnK1uE6p ]. we even have video with another budget exhaust option being released this upcoming Tuesday. for my recommendation, it all depends on how loud you'd like to go.. my favorite combination so far has been expensive resonated test pipes, paired with the cheapest 2.5" ebay exhaust [ we went with BERK + Godspeed ], but it's definitely a little loud for many people's taste
High quality drilled rotors are reliable, safe, and run cooler and brake better than their counterparts. You must be thinking of cheap Chinese knockoffs. And the rotors have a light coating of oil to keep them from oxidizing due to exposure and moisture. It actually is not cosmoline, although Wikipedia inaccurately says so. I worked on U. S. Navy warships for many years and dealt with these chemicals. Heres a tip, use one of the old brake disks under your clamp to push in both caliper pistons together.
hey Tom! thank you for your service! i know where you're coming from, but i've had this conversation about drilled rotors with even dudes who live their life at the drag strip. drilled are not better in any way than simply slotted rotors. what type of oil do they put on if not cosmoline? and you're absolutely right about using the old brake disks to clamp the pistons. i learned of that method shortly after the video release 😎👍
any thread locker on any bolts?
No
Do you have to replace the caliper to?
Not usually, but you would if the caliper piston is seized 👍
Is this same with rear ?
Yes, but make sure the parking brake isn’t engaged 👍
Broooo where did you get those pins
Which ones?
What size rotor for front 320 or 330
i use RockAuto.com to pick out rotors.. They’ll at least list the compatible options, and the options will have the specs you’re looking for 👍
Great job showing removal of slider pin and cleaning greasing them. Many ignore this step then end up with one or more seized pins that create uneven brake pad wear.
definitely! properly maintaining the pins is like half the battle. it's cool that you know 😎👍 Thank you for your support!
Great video, but jesus the music just so annoying and unnecessary
Thank you for your input and support Sean. This video is a number of years old now, and i hope you'll notice i've adjusted how i approach editing and music in our newer episodes
@@milsgarage cheers
U have the link to the rotor
Nah, but it's from RockAuto.com
Don’t get me wrong it was a great video very informative and I use that technique to change my son breaks👌
yes you can, and that's really great advice. 😎👍 i was always taught to use a clamp for each piston, but there's always room for improvement, especially when it comes to efficiency. i really appreciate you tuning in and streamlining my processes further. thank you so much for your input and support!
Don't use paper towels or any other material to apply brake cleaner to the rotors. rotors have a cross-hatch like surface on it to keep it both directional to contact pads and those will scrape off tiny pieces of the paper towel and imbed it in the grooves. just spray the cleaner on the rotor; it's not eating the damn paint. brake cleaner is not brake fluid.
oh wow. u'r absolutely correct.
www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/paint-body/impp-1108-these-will-strip-paint-off-cars-fact-fiction/
i just added this info into the description. thank you so much for your support!
Should you wipe off the excess though with a microfibre towel or something? Im gonna be doing this for the first time this week!
Mils: (Never get drilled ever ...) 😂😂
It's true 👍👍👍
@@milsgarage unless it's a girl lol
That intro music sounds like the same angry mgtow uses on his videos. Great there, great here.
awesome! nice to hear we're getting something right lol. thanks for ur support :D
My bad he is replacing the rotors then yes I apologize but if u only changing the brake pad u don't need to remove the 22 bolts
Whaat kind of pads and rotors are those exactly ?price I see 2 type of centric rotors
i created this video years ago, and they change their product listings all the time. i always stick around the higher end listings, but i don't buy into the drilled idea. The way i see it, i'm saving $400+ by doing the work myself. No need to worry about parts cost at this point
There’s a plain 120 series and plain 120 series Cryo treated rotors ? Will I be ok with the first ones ??
i'm not sure. i even pulled up RockAuto to try and track these down, but realistically, i would go for anything coated in a rust preventative way. Looks like they have new ways of doing it which seem promising. They're all going to stop though 👍
Awesome content. Can you guys do a vid on replacing door lock actuators considering they go out fairly often in early G coupes?
What brand for the brake pads did you use
i use PosiQuiet and Centric brake parts when i can. StopTech is pretty good too 👍
@@milsgarage thanks dude 👊🏾
This was the most detailed video I have ever seen for brakes and rotors! 👍🏼 solid video!!
awesome! thank you for your support! 🤟😎👍
Thanks!
Ayeee, you’re Awesome Ken 🤘🤘🤘
You can put the old brakes on the piston get and use the c clap to do both
yessir, that’s a great way to compress the pistons. i believe that’s one of the top comments on the video 🤟😎👍 thank you for your support!
Not hate or anything but u could do the 14 instead the 22 bolts why because is easier and fast otherwise he is right
i have a rubbing noise sounds like it’s coming from the right front tire. it gets louder with more speed. would you be able to tell me what it could be?
Bearing, warped rotor, heat shield.. i’d diagnose those first
Good video, helped me alot.
p.s. coat hanger worked instead of bungee by the way.
Awesome! i appreciate your support Caleb 🤘. i’m gonna have to try the coat hanger at the shop 👍
This really helps. I don't know much about cars but I'm learning bc I want to be able to identify problems when they arise. That way I don't get taken advantage of. I would love to even learn how to do simple repairs eventually. But this was really helpful bc my Infiniti definitely needs some repairs.
you're exactly the type of person who i'm making these videos for.. knowledge is power, and you totally get that. thank you so much for your support! definitely let me know if you ever have any issues, questions, or would like to see anything specific in a video. we'll do our best to provide a solution. :)
Mils Garage No, thank you. Your content is informative, honest, resourceful, fun & easy to understand. Exactly what I need. You gained a subscriber. Keep up the great work!
sweet! we certainly try! Okay Chweee, you're really awesome. 😎👍👍
What should I do if my wheel studs are stripped
Replace them. 👍
@@milsgarage should I do the same process up until chamging the rotors and the remove one by one or change the whole wheel bearing.. and Thanks For replying!!
You have to remove the rotor to get to the lugs, so you'll want to get the lugs first unless your brakes must be done now. Any time Alberto 👍👍👍
where to buy painted rotors for a G37? thx
u can pick those up at rockauto.com. Centric daily driver lvl rotors r the ones i installed
Question, why would you change the brake pad if its like brand new? 8:08
Cause one side was worn more than the other. You want them to wear evenly. Also, because i had them, and i’d rather set it all perfect, than save $7
I have a 2007 G35 coupe Sport will regular base 07 brake rotors and pads work ?? ... or will they have to say sport
the regular rotors and pads should work for you, but i do see they offer some which say "sport" in the descriptions on www.rockauto.com for like $1 more per pad type of thing.. the ones that say sport may have slightly better specs [though i'm pretty sure the base ones are the same as the sport]
Sorry but slotted rotors not only look badass on cars and such and make a massive difference in look and style and performance but are badass I have them on all my vehicles never ever had a problem and they look sic
You put your money into pretty rotors; i put my money into a titanium exhaust.
Both building cars, but i’ll take the titanium
Very helpful video bro very well explained now ima end up doing rotors I’m more confident thank you🙏
Awesome! Keep up the great work Adrian 💪💪💪
hate to bother you on the g 35 cooling issue
The hose running from the overflow tank to the radiator is missing one of the clamps. Would that be enough to keep it from going back into the radiator?
well yes. that could do it lol 😂
My rear left rotor is doing the same thing. You can hear it while driving every time the wheel rotates. It's like a clicking sound that changes speed with how fast you are driving
@Sammyeggnog Yeah? It sounds like your axle joint might be failing and about to go. i would replace the axle on that side asap. You really don't want that to fail when you're driving
@@milsgarage thanks man. That's good to know. I thought it was just my brakes being wonky but that sounds possible as well
@Sammyeggnog Any time buddy 💯. For sure, it'll definitely be good to check both out. Stay safe
it would be great if you can do a video on the rear of the G35. Thanks for the excellent video.
i'll be sure to cover it when i work on the rear :) thanks for your support!
How does the technique where u use the old brake pad to compress the piston work?
Great question! You can use the pads and c-clamp to compress equal pressure on both of the pistons at once
So after I replaced rotors and brake pads, my my braked pedals goes all the way to the floor it doesn't have pressure idk what I did wrong, idk if when i used the C clamp to open the caliper messed up somesomething, I just notice the brake fluid bottle had more fluid than before. Anybody has a suggestion? My warning lights came on Slip, Brake, VDC.
hey Cristian! did you pump the brakes? and this seems crazy, but you're absolutely certain there are brake pads in there? sounds like maybe you need to bleed your brakes if pumping doesn't work
Yes I pumped my brakes like 10 times
I worked on the car yesterday I'm going to do the fluid bleed today if I get a chance. I hope that all my warnings light goes off after the bleed.
helps a lot... very informative. and the video is very clear, no shakiness and there's actually somebody holding a camera instead of the person doing the repair and doing the filming.
Please do more videos like changing out fluids and proper bleeding of fluids etc.
wow, thanks for ur support and feedback! it means a lot :D stay tuned, we'll definitely be covering more on fluids as we go
Had to replace both my calipers and brake pads and rotors
@Juice 423 Yeah? Sounds about right this time of the year. Awesome work 🤟
I know I'm late but I feel you guys really have stepped up the quality and video angles recently. Love all the vids as usual they certainly teach me the shit I don't know how to. Have fun creating this awesome content
thanks Derek! i appreciate ur support :D we've been non-stop filming, editing and setting up the behind the scenes stuff for the last .. .. forever.. hopefully i can have the sticker sales set up soon, and i'm gonna send u urs tomorrow (likewise on the feeling of lateness)
You helped me so much! I just did my brakes and rotors on my 350z but for some reason one of my pins wouldn't push in, so my rotors weren't spinning right so now I know. It needs to be greased! Thank you again! 🙏🏻 You earned a sub!!
Yeah? Awesome! i'm happy to know we were able to help! Great work getting it all set up right in the end! 👍👍👍 Thank you for your support! 🤟
Haven't done brakes in a minute. Afte your dome imstalling everything dont you have to pump the brakes?
Yes, there's a good possibility that you'll need to give it 1-4 pumps to pump up the pressure in the lines and set the new pads. You're going to definitely want to bleed the brakes or inspect them further if the brakes don't pump back up quickly after the service.
buddy the rotors are glazed and can be sanded off. Its brake buildup acts like washboard. Really just sand them down if thats what they are doing
i understand, and this is not a 'how to resurface rotors' video. the rotor was warped, and i personally maintain the car to the highest degree, so it's worth it to me to simply replace the parts. maybe we'll make a resurfacing video in the future. it's definitely not outside of our means to do so.. i imagine this video helps a lot of people who would like to know how to replace brakes and rotors though :)
whats up with the porn music tho?
Gotta get people in the mood first 👍
Is there a difference in rotor size between the 03 and 07?
i believe there may be a difference if you have Brembo vs standard Nissan brakes, but i'm not certain. Otherwise, if it's Nissan OEM brakes, it should have the same size rotor for all years
Which rotors can i put in my car g35 2004 regular rotors or sport package please I need help
You'll see at RockAuto.com that they either list that the rotors are Brembo compatible, or don't say Brembo. From that info, i gather that the dimensions are different between the two. Looks like Brembo uses 12.76" Vs OEM 11.654". You're going to have to look at your brakes to know whether you have Brembo brake calipers or not, and then you can make your selection from there
I'm going to check the page because I already need to change the brakes and rotors 👌👌
After doing brakes and turning the rotors my pads are rubbing light with slight drag. It’s not bad just making sure it normal after doing a brake job
It is normal for them to touch slightly, yes. If you just did them, you might want to remove the little caliper brackets and clean them off so they're bare metal again where the pad touches; Apply the grease to the caliper itself, where the bracket contacts the caliper (this will let them seat smoothly)
i've learned a lot about brakes since making this video.. Please ask for clarification if needed. i'll be making an updated brake video soon
@@milsgarage very much appreciate. Keep up the good work
Brake pads should come with those insert clips correct? Or would I have to order those separate? Only asking because I've only ever had my brakes serviced by professionals before, but I'm considering tackling my own brake pads next time they need replacing. Very nice video, thanks.
yeah, new clips come with the pads. i even just installed a caliper yesterday which came with it's own set of clips and new pins. and jic, when you get to the rear, you have to release the E-brake in order to remove the rotor
You don’t absolutely need new clips. Just clean the old ones with brake cleaner and a wire brush and reinstall. You’ll be fine.
Ngl this is probably one of the best how to's iv'e seen on YT. Clean, informative, and descriptive. Since you usually work on a G35 you should throw in the torque specs for that car for other G owners too. Great Video!
You’re awesome @Street’s Disciple ! Thank you so much for your support! 🤟
One thing I didn’t see mentioned was that before you compress your pistons to leave the brake fluid top open because when you compress your pistons your pushing the fluid back up which leaves air compressed in your system
That's a very good point, and yessir! Nice catch Danny 👍👍👍
@@milsgarage Do you have to open the bleed valve to let old fluid out of caliper before compressing piston back in so you don't push old fluid back up to the m/c?.
No dust shield in the front?
@Reeso Doe Silly me**. There are dust shields on both of the cars. They are installed between the hub unit and the knuckle as seen in this video 👉 [ ruclips.net/video/KAKKICX2wVU/видео.html ]
what size has these rotors ?

Do I have to bleed the brake when changing the pads?
u'll be ok w/o bleeding them. no air should make it into ur brake lines if u'r just pushing the pins back in and swapping pads.. u'll definitely want to bleed them if u remove the caliper or open the bleeder valve
hey guys quick question for the caliper pin what torque spec would you recommend?
Hand torque normally comes to around 21ft lb, but don’t use a torque bar or impact gun. The pins are not meant to rotate during use, and they should fit snug w/o much torque
@@milsgarage thank you
Is it the same process for newer ones? As in 2008+?
this is the same process for all cars 😎👍
Watching 2 years later but I’m about to pick up my 3rd G, as a pleasure car this time, and I’ll need to do the brakes. Thanks for the in depth video!
Nice! Thank you for your support! i'm the same. i'm only on my 2nd G, but if anything happens to it, i'm just gonna buy another lol
Thank you very much !!!!!!! Very helpful
you're very welcome! thank you for your support!
What is the screw like thing for that patrudes frim frint calibers? Can i get rid of it or is it needed?
Weight reduction 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing
Sweet. Thank you for your support Brian!
Do you have any videos on replacing the window motor driver side? Mine just crapped out. You’re videos are super detailed so I always check with you before I start looking for other videos lol
@Eduardo Nunez Sorry, i've done the job before, but haven't filmed it yet.. It's a great idea for a video, but that won't help us much atm. i've been putting off reseting my driver-side motor for a while now.. Maybe it's time i film it. Thank you for your support Eduardo! 🤟😁 You're awesome.
Mils Garage yeah I read it’s a common issue. I still rock my Mils Garage shirt all the time!
@Eduardo Nunez Yessir, that's what i hear too. Do you!?🤘😎👍👍👍 You sir, are a Rock Star** 💯 Thank you Thank you Thank you Eduardo!!
Props to you man as I don't even know why you have low followers on IG or Twitter. People are stupid as you'd think hearing and learning from a confident DIY guy they'd subscribe to learn more.....like me. Just followed you on Twitter dude. Thanks for putting out good stuff. #Cheers
Cheers buddy! Wow, thank you for the compliments! We really appreciate your support. We only have a $10 per month marketing budget atm, so I create all of the marketing, videos and also do all the promotions myself.. I'm really hoping the T-shirt and MG Decal sales pick up so we can grow quicker.. I'm at a point rn where RUclips doesn't pay enough, and we're giving out all of the information we would use to create real revenue working on cars.. We could really use a share or two if you have the chance. Thanks again for being awesome :)
Wow! Talk about efficiency as most won't even be able to operate with that budget. Like seriously, kudos to you for being like us Marines and making do with what you have - as that's really impressive. My comments are simply that, comments to pay homage when homage is due. And yeah, maximizing social media can be difficult in terms of generating cash-flow, however, what you could do is talk about a current project you're doing to your car - as that's all TJ Hunt, Adam LZ, & Emelia Hartford did. Like don't get me wrong DIY videos are good, however, it really depends on "whom you want your audience to be."
P.S. I don't do social media marketing, but I do know human behavior as a consultant. For instance, I market you guys all the time to my colleagues. However, the area that I live in, they don't care to DIY as they're spoiled (i.e., the Washington, DC area is filled with spoiled yuppies). Whereas, had I be operating in California? You'd grow as we kind of invented the car culture with F&F lol. Anyway cheers again as when the time comes (next year) I'll tag you to my twitter handle (once I swap out this VQ for a 2JZ VVTI setup). Other than that, you gained my follow when I saw you solved a Rubics Cube under 2 minutes lol. #Cheers
Yeah buddy! Thank you for your service sir. We're located in Delaware.. and would love to check out your car some time! Sounds like an awesome build you have going on O_O.. Oh yeah, I forgot about that video lol
Bro, I got a 2005 g 5 coop and I got. The overflow reservoir filled and it won't drain back into the radiator. Not overheating but not blowing heat, either, which is no big deal im in south Texas.
Why doesn't the coolant return back to the radiator? Its only God 72000 miles on it don't tell me it's a headgasket
so it only works when there's a vacuum in the line leading to the radiator. if there r no visible leaks, i believe this means there must be an air leak in the cap's seal, preventing the vacuum from forming. u probably need a new cap

Thanks I did did buy the cheapest one available at auto zone. Wouldn't the water pump start whistling or making some bearing noises? I cant believe it if these things. A head gasket.
But no white smoke out the tail pipe and no millions of bubbles in the reservoir, they still may be air in the lines. I'll keep messing with it.
sure, those sounds would happen if the coolant got too low, but hopefully ur engine was still circulating some coolant.. when the engine heats up, the coolant expands and is pushed into the reservoir.. then the coolant cools and should contract with the vacuum, back into the radiator.. or at least that's the plan lol
I hate it when they call out bolts to remove and not say the sizing ...
Did we miss any? :)
