Here's the Latest GTR video with the new Exhaust! ruclips.net/video/pEq-hqE7iec/видео.html
I really like this channel, dude is smart, likable, and makes a nice video with a lot of detail and no stupid cliff hangers or drama. I also like that he doesn't talk bad about everyone and everything to try and make himself seem so smart, his work shows that.
He used to make alot of comments about work he found, but he's really calmed down alot on it, it's nice just seeing the content and not getting opinions on what he thinks about what was done.
Alex is one of the best in the space!
The lack of drama is so refreshing. Can’t believe the TV car shows think guys want to watch all that ridiculous artificial BS. They clearly don’t know their audience.
@@morstyrannis1951....for some reason watching Alex feels like hanging with my friends on a weekend, having a few beers, while wrenching on our cars. It's strange, and I like that!
He is fun to watch, and you can count on a good video every Saturday.
27:10 "i saw a cool carbon fiber one that i might get one day" is car guy code for its ordered and will be here in a few days 🤣 🤣 🤣 love it Alex!!!!
what impresses me the most is your ability to dive into a new to you platform like you have been working on that platform for years, ability to connect the dots as well! great video bud!!
I love your content so much. A TRUE car enthusiast. Not just a chevy or a Ford guy. Just a guy who loves all cool cars. Mercedes, turbo trans am, DeLorean and even DSM and GTRs... I always get excited when I get a notification for a legitstreetcars video. Makes my day.
I''ll say it again...The guy who stopped his bid at $46,400 is punching the air right now after watching this video! 🤣🤣
100%
at the same time wouldn't even be mad getting outbid by LegitStreetCars
You "that" guy??
@@ThatMan6969
absolutely demolishing some air about now! 🤣🤣🤣
Easily once in a lifetime deal
Alex, I've gotta say. You're probably my favorite hands on automotive RUclipsr. Your filming style, explanations, and willingness to be transparent with your audience is just great. Plus you sharing your knowledge is fantastic. Can't say thank you enough. Look forward to every Sat. morning.
Wow, thanks Justin! Appreciate that
@@LegitStreetCars All very true, you do great work Alex.
My thanks comes all the way from Australia
Yes I totally agree ! Not many RUclips channels personally comment or like commenting
But Alex keeps it real !
You know he reads them and that’s awesome
Thanks Alex 👍🏻 for keeping it real
He truly is one of the best. Super knowledgeable and also relaxed and awesome behind the camera. Check out Mat Armstrong too if you haven’t.
@@LegitStreetCars you change the cabin filter above the open engine 👍
I can speak for everyone when I say there are LITERALLY NO FLAWS the channel. Combination of content NEVER boring moment. The learning curve of the crucial info as minimal or big it's all so helpful. You are blessed, my brother . Wish the very best to you and your family and crew to the channel. Take care and keep being you. God bless.
Bro I gotta disagree with you on the DeLorean I had 2 of them when I had my bodyshop. Mater fact it took me 6 mons. To find a left fender cause John done dumped so much parts into the ocean, crazy. 6 cylinder Volvo engine. No real windows. It's not my cup of tea
Your GTR is sweet
My friend worked on exotics. But he said Japanese cars are the only car engineered for mechanics. Big difference to German engineers
Yes, and actually my Nissan Frontier NISMO uses marine grade type electrical connections like that everywhere. Very well built and engineered
Keep this GTR on the channel... the upgrades are nearly endless. My 17 year old and I bought a 2014 with 1,800 miles on it and having a blast with the car.
Now that's dope
agreed. Hopefully Alex doesn't listen to all of the OEM purists in the chat who whine about any aftermarket mods.
17 year old playing with a GTR....r.i.p.
@@Nathan93Baker Yeah, I mean... how awful is it that a Dad and Son are having fun together with a nice car?
@@Molitoth I'm not an OEM purist but some of the exterior mods people do these days make me cringe
I appreciate Alex showing the process of overcoming challenging issues. He doesn't just go from broken to fixed, making it look like he knows it all. He shows his thought process, each of his fails to fix and finally arriving at the solution. It encourages backyard mechanics to keep trying and how to go about problem solving. Not everything works out on the first try. Many thanks, Alex, for your honesty and integrity.
Thanks brother!
and you're a brokie going to your shitey day job, haha
And this is the reason I'm subing right now. His videos a real world love it. My first video was part 1 of the GTR and got jealous 😆
I love your unforced delight at how this car A) runs and B) is built! The Japanese definitely know how to put something together correctly!
Keep this on the channel, don't care if you do mega horsepower or just a little bit, I kinda like the stockness GTR!
Love the channel and the depth of detail you go into stripping the cars down! That'd what keeps me entertained! You're the slightly older Matt Armstrong, positive and enthusiastic!
Well they did the Honda pilot dirty as hell. Not easy to do most of the fluids.
You do actually have to do some cycling of gears and a specific temperature to properly fill the transmission.
But in all honesty. You can overfill the GR6 by 2 qts and it's just fine and actually helps to prevent cavitation on launches and hard acceleration.
For Ecutek press and hold cancel then use the toggle up and down for cruise control to cycle between Maps.
The nismo cap is offered by nissan. It's oem with a nismo stamp. They have Radiator caps, oil caps, oil pan bolt/nut (magnetic), nismo lug nuts, air valve stem caps. Basically, the person before was a nissan guy and loved nismo and got nismo Oem parts
And those parts are $$$$$$$$$$$
A nismo guy who gave up on his GTR bc his solenoids were dirty. Poor fella.
@j_rainsgoat3929 I mean, imagine spending 8 grand on your trans just for it to start skipping 2nd gear. And why did they upgrade in the first place? Probably was done with any problems that popped up and got a new gtr or imported one. Is it true? It's probably not, just my take tho
@@j_rainsgoat3929sometimes life financial situations change or people pass and the living spouse fire sells stuff to get cash. It could be any number of understandable reasons why it was offloaded.
@@j_rainsgoat3929Think it's owned by different owners at one point. One built the car, enjoyed it, got bored and sold it for something else, the other bought the car knowing absolutely nothing about the car and just assumed the gearbox is toast when the lights came on.
It's very common here in my region, especially with BMWs, they don't understand their cars and not realise that "lifetime gearoil" was never a thing and sell them right after the warranty ends as the trans start to act up, all the car needed was just new gearoil.
Out of all the lemons of people who treated their GTR's poorly... This one is an absolute beast, what a gift.
Please restore it and enjoy it!
18:42 I agree, if you hoyste your car up and start doing fluid maintenance you should just do everything if you have the time. It usually save a lot of headaches and is preventive maintenance.
I can't add too much more to the compliments already written below. This has become my favorite channel and I always look forward to the next episode. You have the talent and personality to have your own TV show. Your easy going approach to problem solving issues is a model for all to follow. ...Kudos
shep transmission is KING! i ordered full built transmission back in the day to Dubai! i installed it and drove the car for 800km and the transmission died on me after that. i contacted shep transmission they shipped my busted transmission to USA rebuilt it fully to spec i ordered at the start. fully covered by shep transmission shipping and parts what can i say more!! A man of his word shep transmission is KING !!!!
Why did it fail at 800km?
@@berkankaya9370lol, yeah cause trannies are weakest link in any racecar. I wonder if GTR's can truly be daily driven w/ power?
@@berkankaya9370exactly.. Curious as well.
@@berkankaya9370because it was shep
@@berkankaya9370the dunes will do that 😂
The expression on people face when a GTR launch never changed for the past 15 years. Everything about the GTR is *chef kiss*.
It's nice yes. But far far away from for example a Tesla Model S Plaid launch. Which literally pushed the blood to the back of your head.
@@HermanWillems Seems like Tesla launches are getting boring quickly, as he sold his Model X plaid after a few month.
Here's the latest GTR video! ruclips.net/video/0KpOZSbdgko/видео.html
Contact your nearest Nissan dealership’s service department and ask them to pull the service history on the car. They’ll be able to pull up every record of it being serviced at any Nissan dealer in the USA (and maybe Canada).
Great acumen getting the trans problem knowing it could only be the bracket, you ended up with a stage 1 and 20k miles less, a great bargain altogether, congrats!
Who else watched this whole damn 1 hrs vid!🤣 love it Alex
The elbow-click 😂, I feel your pain. Love these videos, Alex. You’re a great teacher.
Thanks for watching Jim!
Remember: click in the wrist is 5Nm, in the elbow 25Nm in shoulder 50Nm and in the knee 100Nm
Needs more milk
This was the Car Gods giving you a win after the issues that have had you questioning your commitment to working on old cars! Keep doing what you do Alex!
Your enthusiasm is refreshing, knowledge you share is like good food. I watched you after midnight, tried to sleep and reopened to peek twice more after two a.m. first after coffee, back to the G.T.R. Exciting to absorb your videos. I am an old motor head, my challenges were a bit less complicated as they are now. The G.T.R. is a very attractive machine, love the technology. Keep on keeping on, great stuff!
Dangggg you walked right out the door with this deal!!!
Don’t forget to call Carfax to ask them to change the Miles to Kilometers. They are pretty easy to work with as long as you show them the evidence of your claim. Otherwise you essentially end up with a TMU unit with the Carfax mileage discrepancy.
@@elipsorangeI mean change it from 89xxx miles to 89xxx kilometers on the Carfax record.
@@wzbhnn89k kilometres is not 89 miles
@@elipsorange no he said it right
Really only matters to fools that both believe a carfax has any value and can't easily see the deacpency themselves.
Time to make some breakfast and sit back and enjoy the show!!
Enjoy!
That is a brilliant idea! Time for some Legit Street Pancakes. Lol
This literally my breakfast making RUclips channel 😂
Thanks Alex -- Glad we could help! Let us know if you, or anyone else, is in need of some transmission parts / services!
so glad to see how far u have come brother!! Your knowledge on cars blows me away. Ive worked on cars my whole life and learn something new from u every video. keep the content coming man!!
That GT-R sounds so good. Curious what the issue is
My money is on a garbage tune
Seems like the fuel is just a bit subpar compared to what the tune needs. They’ve probably pushed timing closer to MBT and the ECU is slowly advancing, then running into knock. That’s why it only happens every few runs, and perhaps why the good fuel fixed the problem. Hard to say without any info though! Looking forward to seeing more.
it's a skill issue
@@coreyw427so you´re saying the tune is Garbage? ;)
@@axelhorneff5077 Ha not exactly, certainly not as universal as the original Nissan tune though!
Take a guess at my new daily driver that comes out next week. It also has AWD, a twin-turbo V6, six-speed transmission but costs 10 times less than the GTR. Can't wait to show you!
3000GT VR4?
You should buy a old JDM car and do a series about it. It would be right up your alley with all the repairs they usually need. Would be great to showcase to people the reality of buying and owning an old JDM vehicle.
Cts?
Infinity something?
2015 ford taurus sho?
Maybe a Hurricane? I mean Typhoon!!!!😂🎉
Just wanted to say i don’t know how I’m just now seeing this channel but man the quickness in which I subscribed.. I watched the last video you uploaded first and love the in depth dive you take us on. Very informational and never got bored. 10/10
Alex, I absolutely love your videos! Nothing (almost) daunts you, and you are into it to the end. I can see why you get such raves about your style and content. Your positive attitude is clearly the winner! Thanks for the BEST RUclips channel for automotive stuff, hands down!! 👍🤯😜😁
Glad that Alex is happy as can be, given the struggles of recent videos. Hope the GTR hangs around.
Install a flex fuel setup/E85/tune. Did it to mine and makes the GTR a beast
Really cool to see quick updates at the end of what is coming up!! Thanks alex!
Love the new addition to your collection! I got to drive a GTR back in 2011 and it was an experience I will never forget!!
22:40 - One does not simply build the trans on a "stock GTR"
playin dumb
100%
I would build the trans on stock GTR if it would be 2009 one. They were notoriously fragile to the point where Nissan voided warranty just for putting R mode and launching a car.
It was an Australian journalist that came up with the Godzilla name for the GTR. Back when the R32 came to Australia, to race in our group A touring car championship. The car was unbeatable, like Godzilla.
Love the gtr content! Good work Alex!
Love the little update after the bloopers. Now I am even more keen for the next episode.
Love your work.
JUST finished the pick up and diagnostic video that was recommended to me, refresh and see a new upload, lets go!
Bro fr, the same thing happened to me right now 😂 just finished watching the first one
The Happy Gilmore insert 👌🤣🤣
Alex - enjoyable and charming presentation - thanks for this part of the journey!
Been watching a while, only commented a couple times, but man, Alex, I love how detailed you are with stuff on the vehicles, as well as your character shows through every video. Thanks for the great content every video!
That's beyond quality purchase Alex!! Congrats on such a great find! bro!!
Where my Nissan guys at? Whatcha got!
I have a 08 Nissan Titan it's great!
Had a Terrano 2 4x4 and an X-Trail... Both had strange problems I never had on cars I've owned before... Was fantastic while the relationship lasted though... Like dating a stripper ..😂
2020 z34. Base. Just installed a new catback.
2013 GTR 🖐️
1991 300zx and a 2013 frontier
Great video! I love that you put overlay of the dashboard as you were doing the dyno runs. Also really interesting to see you use the borescope to see the valves and the pistons!
Yes! Yes! Yes! This is the long format video I've been waiting for since I subscribed. Thank you so very very much! You made my day!
Hands down favorite RUclips channel and the relationships you have are so genuine all love freakin awesome to watch
Thanks!!
Saturday morning Street Cars! ❤
Love this channel, very informative and gives backyard mechanics hope to find real gems.
HYPE for the bonus bonus footage!
Best car channel on RUclips hands down man. Such a variety of cars, Alex is cool as hell, and the videos are just top tier .
Thanks Steve!!
Alex gives me the energy I need to start my Saturday morning with his positive attitude.
The cars you have on your channel is what we love about your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing man. We love the content and the cars.
Thanks for the sneak peek on the fleet, great vid!
I Legit live vicariously through you Alex. I'm older now and drive a Camry. My wrenching on muscle car days are over.
This guy hit the GTR gold mine! You’ve made me want to keep my car. I thought about selling it but not anymore. From the looks of it. That car is tuned and and an E 85 sensor
GTR was such a sensation when it came out (we've all watched that Top Gear episode). Then it was bashed by the media repeatedly over the past decade that I was subconsciously hating it. But now that I'm 15 years older and watching your video, I am in love again. Thanks for bringing back my youth! This is the first of your videos that I'm watching more than once because your joy is so genuine and contagious.
P.S. I just noticed the video is 1 hour long! I've watched it at least 3 to 4 times now.
"Fiscally responsible" straight piper. Love itt 🤣🤣🤣
Man, what a good pickup. This is what you find when you're diligent about searching every day.
The sticker on the side looks way better. I would love for you to keep this GTR around, the crazy built and modifications you can do to it is unless. Keep up the great work!
Thats why we love this channel, having the difference cars that other people don't film
Love your work Alex. You're one of my favorite car channels so keep it coming because we love your content.
Side window sticker for this LSC fan
you really work miracles with this Nissan. great series thus far. love the channel!
Love it Alex! Have fun with the new ride!
Loving how much fun you're having with this - the look of joy on your face with every little magical find and realising just how lucky you've been with this purchase :)
Magnetic transmission plate just might play havoc with those magnetic valve body sensors ;)
I definitely have garage envy! 🤣🤣
John Shepard is an amazing person. Met him a few times when I worked at Englishtown raceway park. Man lives and breathes awd track cars
So pumped for this build. Love to see you happy man.
Oh !!that clean up job was so satisfying .. timing area was looking brand new.. cheers 🍻
That was great! Congrats on your bin win Alex! You deserve it!
So glad everything worked out in the end. Very sweet car Alex.👍
My favorite RUclipsr has been dropping some bangers with the GTR content! No cursing and I can watch with my family in the next room. Thanks bro!
No curses ever!
Really hope you keep doing updates at the end.. it helps a bit with the blanks and jumping around. Thanks for the content.. always top notch sir.
Been watching about 4yrs and i can say this is a new platform and good content. You seem to have an interest in it as well. Bless brother! 🙌
understatement of the year contender for 2024 🤭
casually doing full engine rebuilds in his garage, and they work. Dedication to the max!
This is my favorite time of the week. I look forward to Saturday morning all week long. Thank you for the videos they are awesome!
Saw you leaving my dealer as I was showing up for work. Would have been awesome to meet you in person. Looking forward to the gtr content. Love the channel man!
If you've dropped the valve body out and removed the shift pitons, you may as well split the VB open and replace the micro filters for some uprated Dodson filters as they fill up over time with metal swarf and will also be responsible for shifting issues.
Great video and thanks for sharing !
For next car, I’m thinking:
1. Ford Taurus Sho
2. Mitsubishi/Stealth VR4 or RT
3. Audi S4
4. Infiniti Q50? But that might be to expensive.
He mentioned daily driver so I’m thinking probably the Sho.
What a joy to watch. And Max's face!! 😂😂😂😂
I love watching your videos , it’s crazy all of the knowledge you have on almost any kind of car . Thank you so much 💪🏼
Great video bud! You are always so good at tearing down things and explaining what your doing and making it interesting!
this is why we keep coming back! love what you do, Alex
Your facial expressions @ 55:39 during the launch reminded me of the first time I did a proper launch in my old lightly modded '92 3000GT VR4 (with at least 200 less awhp than you've got here). AWD launches are the best. Love the content by the way.
@legitstreetcars Glad you fixed your R35. Amazing how knowledge and perseverance pays off.
You're welcome Alex! Thanks for the great content!!
The throwback to Roman Atwood when he was picking Noah up was perfect!
Wow he totally disowned the CL65.
Alex when are we gonna see that SVT Lightning get put back together?
I'd love to see as much of this build as possible please. Really enjoy watching your builds.
I'm guessing the HARDTUNED sticker you removed wasn't a hint......
Loving this car and all the troubleshooting you have done! Great work :D
I think your car collection is pretty cool. I owned a 86 Grand National when I was 17 and raced the shit out of it. The Merc Wagon is something I would have loved to drive. This GTR you have now is sweet. I live in Toronto and want a GTR. I own a 91 300zx twin turbo with 600 wheel hp. Doesn’t matter what you own it is the feeling you get when you work on it and drive it. Thanks for your video, if you want to sell that GTR let me know. Bring it back to Canada.
Liked. Subscribed. This content is GREAT! I love the episodes, man. Thanks for taking us along on your GTR adventure.
Can't wait for the detail!!
I always respected GTR Godzilla performance, I just never actually wanted one because it never changed body style and never offered a convertible/ roadster version. Congrats Alex 🙌
What a steal on this car Alex. Congrats🎉
Loving the GTR videos! This car is so badass and yall look like you are having so much fun with it.
