    I'm convinced Aaron is a genius . My momma & dad always said , "if you never make a mistake . That means you ain't doin anything ."
    Y'all are on the top of my Playlist of RUclips channels .

    I don't know why anybody would ever send you negative comments. You two are the best. A person could not ask for more out of your videos, not to mention the fact that you are genuine great people. Much love and keep up the great work. You are really appreciated.

    I live in California where there are smog tests for cars built after 1975. When the smog test is done your car could be so rusty that it's about to break in half but if it passes the smog check you can register it to drive.

    Thanks for your show, I really enjoy watching you guys work on your projects together. My wife and I did that together on our rock crawler jeeps. She passed away in 2021. So working on the jeep isn’t as fun as it used to be. We were together for 43 years. I am planning on coming to Texas to do some wheeling and will be picking up a friend in Mount Pleasant. Don’t know where that is in relation to your town, but it would be nice to stop by and meet you guys in person 😊. Just from watching your shows makes me feel like I know you already.

    I like that parts washers and the solvent is environmentally friendly and safe, I know there's some that don't clean that well, but this crc seems to work well. Back in my day in the late 80s you knew the parts solvent worked because not only did it strip the crap off the parts, but it'd strip your skin off to the bone, that's how you knew it worked!

    “Why do you call everything a nipple?” 😅 I grew up on a farm in Montana…cows had “tits,” brand new tires had little “tits” on them. Pipe fittings were “nipples.” We thought nothing of it. We were not being lewd. We were being practical. We had utmost respect for girls/women. They had both breasts and nipples. No disrespect. Thank you so much for your content!

      @irav4u 10 месяцев назад

      where I used to work, we were not allowed to torque a fastener within 10% of the top or 20% of the lowest torque setting on the torque wrench. Our genius engineers said they lost accuracy on the extreme ends of the wrench. In this case, I would have used an inch-pound wrench

    Being that its a Japanese car are those screws JIS? Working on old bikes all the "phillips" head screws were stripping out. I didn't actually know that it was not standard and the JIS screwdrivers have a different angle on them. That and a hammer manual impact is a life saver.

  • @stubby4317
    @stubby4317 10 месяцев назад +1

    Listening to Aaron about the torque values reminded me of a recent experience on a continental aircraft engine. It was all inch pounds! That was a change up from what I'm used to! Glad you have it running.

    Man! The struggle is real!
    You guys have a million times more patience than I would have with that car. It seems like everything on it is a knock down drag out fight to the death. Part of it is the over complicated design, and part of it is how crispy everything gets over time. All of those hoses, wires, and corroded connections. WOW! What a nightmare.
    So sorry about your camera. That really sucks. Stuff happens.
    Great video! Great job of sticking with it. Well done!

    @stevenkopec5266 10 месяцев назад +2

    Congrats you two. I did the same darn thing to my 1990TT last summer. I kept all of the PCV and throttle body coolant lines original. What a pain to reinstall everything by oneself but it went back together. All electrical connections were corroded like yours were. I upgraded to the new style injectors so I could use any formulation of high octane fuel. Don’t forget the clean out the PTU harness connections. You haven’t seen green corrosion until you pull that harness apart. A litttle sand paper and dielectric grease does wonders.

  • @gardeningpreacher
    @gardeningpreacher 10 месяцев назад

    Old mechanics trick for installing plugs: use a piece of hose that will slide over the electrode or ceramic part of the plug that is snug - it will make installing those hard-to-reach plugs easier, less likely to cross thread and will keep the plug from accidentally falling out of the socket. When the plug is "finger" tight, the hose will simply spin on the plug, then pull it off and tighten with your socket. The old man who trained me taught me that little trick is it has proven to be invaluable to me. Enjoy watching all the projects!

    Anti-Seiiz on plugs a little dab, like a stripe top to bottom, DO NOT get any on the end, you get it on the porsalin because you will never get it all off, at high voltage like ignition 50,000 volts min.
    once it tracks down the porcalin, it there forever. Most anti has copper, nickel, so you just killed the plug. Ole Lecktrican/mec. The stuff is like roofing tar, get it on you hand, when your done it's every where! Keep on, you guys are Killin it!

    I had a Buick V6 that only liked a thin stripe from porcelain to seat. If I put Antiseaze the whole length of the threads they worked loose.
    I have an '83 Ram D100 225 ci that wants the full thread with Antiseaze. They tightened nicely, yet released with just a snug turn of the ratchet to loosen.
    Buick was Aluminum
    Ram is Cast Iron

    My anti-seize tip: get a small, 1/4" wide Testor's paintbrush from the world of model making, and keep that with your Permatex big bottle of goop. Makes for a less messy situation when you only are using a little bit and can "paint" it onto the threads. It usually doesn't take much.

    The Z32 is Japanese equivalent to a German over engineering vehicle. It was one of the first street production cars to use CAD back in 1986/1987. First production run for 1990 cars rolled off the production line in February of 1989. My Z32 was one of the first imported to California. You two did a great job tearing down into it. It’s a vehicle known to turn owners into mechanics because of current shop rates. Keep up the quality content!
    Only vehicle I think the flying sparks garage is missing is a C6 Z06.

    Cut off a long piece of fuel hose that will fit over the spark plug insulater , firmly ! Works good on hot engines and deep areas to remove spark plugs ! Yes let it cool down first before you start , preferably when it is cold , but sometimes you just have to remove and go because of time issues !

    Look like the same injector setup as my old 2.4 '93 Altima. Those screw heads seemed like they were made from warm butter and could easily strip when seized and made it tough to get them loosened, but it was so satisfying to hear that 'crack' sound once they broke loose.

    Love the videos!
    Those EGR tubes could have been cut off further back towards the firewall and capped off. You can then use those gaskets and covers to directly attach on the plenum. All of that would make future removals of the plenum even easier and make some more room on the sides of the engine. If the engine is ever pulled, then you could go the last mile and remove those tubes altogether along with the EGR itself.

    Once while trying to remove phillips heads off a Honda motor cycle......it got so bad i had to use a cut off wheel to make flat sides for the vice grips to grab........and as vice grip says.....every tool has a hammer side

    Going through the injector wiring. I think the rubber grommets are supposed to be crimped with the large end of the electrical connector. Then they seal it tight as they are crimped to the wire.
