Not a bad effort overall, For me first time headlight restoration, I chose the 3m restoration kit for dry sanding, After many hours of reseach 3m takes the guess work out of which grit sizes to use!! Just look at the comments here?? The instructions are fool proof, All you need is a variable speed drill 1+2 gear settings and a certified clearcoat manufactured for heads only, No orange peel or cracking, I recommend Meguiars one coat drys in 5min's easy!! 🤔🇬🇧👍

Great work, could you possibly tell me the reg of the car the engine went into? I’m away to buy that engine but he didn’t have any paper work with it

Hi dude I’m buying this car later any chance we could have a chat about it

My corsa opc has the same MAP sensor (Bosch 0 261 230 048) from the factory. I know it because I bought the car new from the dealer. I works well and it is a 0.2 to 2.5 bar and -40 to +130 C . Its specs are: Voltage output is 0.4 to 4.65 V linear to the input pressure 0.2 to 2.5 bar and NTC thermistor of 2.5 Kohm at +20 C. Your new Bosch 0 281 006 076 is a MAP sensor of 0.2 to 3.0 bar and -40 to +130 C. They are different. Their Vout related to the temperature is the same, but the 2nd one outputs 4.65V when P=3.0 bar (not 2.5 bar). The pressure does not get that high, but the problem is that at a given pressure (let's say 1 bar atm + 1.2 bar boost = 2.2 bar absolute pressure), the 2nd sensor (the new one) will output a smaller voltage than the original 1st sensor would output, the ECU will think that the pressure is lower (because of the smaller voltage), and the end result will be the ECU controlling the wastegate in such a way that the actual pressure will be higher than 2.2 bar. Hopefully, the engine will not run a leaner fuel mixture in boost conditions, because the ECU calculates the fuel based on the MAF sensor readings (in open loop mode, no O2 sensor readings at high accelerating) which will be correct. So there will be a mismatch in air pressure and air flow, with unknown results. Theoretically, your ECU will read 1.843 bar (around 0.843 boost) when actual P=2.2bar (1.2 bar boost), and it will produce (if exhaust flow is capable) around 2.635 bar=> around 1.635 bar overboost instead of 1.2bar overboost. Also, it will produce (if exhaust flow is capable) around 2.391 bar => around 1.391 bar normal boost instead of 1.0 bar normal boost. Finally, Bosch 0 261 230 302 and Bosch 0 261 230 283 are drop-in replacements for Bosch 0 261 230 048 . Also, the bad sensor output was low (around 0 V , out of the valid range 0.4 to .65V) and the fault disappeared by replaing it, beacause the bad sensor got out of the system.

Whats the bores oval and taper. Whats your wall clearance Whats your trust clearance Whats your mains and rod bearing clearances. What about valve shimming.. So much not done or checked.. all these details are ignored, which makes the difference in power and reliability and life span.

Hi mate any links for parts used thanks

Hi mate, great vid keep it up. Could you get in contact with me. I just neeed some invoices for yhe vxr mate, the forge paperwork if you can. Thanks

Another great video i had my fingers crossed for your 1st drive to the mot station,great it passed .sad to see the 350z go sounded amazing.good luck with the move u lucky bugger 😂😂😂

Great work on both cars. Both successes!

Sad to see the 350z go but I'm sure it's for the greater 👍

Great video bro 😎 and well done on the rebuild and getting it through a mot. Keep up the amazing content bro 😎

It's been a while since we've seen the 350Z here on the channel! Now that we have a buyer lined up, I need to get these last few tasks complete. Let me know what you think of the new Tesla Style Head Unit in the comments down below, Would you do this to your 350Z?

I looked like it's the first rebuild you have done becauewhen you were torquing the head bolts they didn't look like 90° turns, don't be surprised you end up with head gasket issues

Great video, but the final test is whether it lasts under boost and for any length of time!

Great video, Adam. Look forward to catching up with you next month. 😊

Why would you not get the upgraded stem seals that have a built on washer to keep them seated

Its been a long time coming guys but I've finally got my latest video out for you all. Let me know down below what you'd like to see next on the channel! Can anyone guess where I am at the end of the video yet?🏎

Fair play to you man. Ambitious little project but all came good. (I'd say you were fairlu relevied !)

:)

Well done Ad what a excellent job to build an engine for the fist time mega scary stuff done to perfection. Well done fella.

Well done you made that look easy i had my fingers crossed when u got it started👍

Awesome job lads! I'm still curious what the issue was exactly with the very first startup, always eager to learn -) cheers !

Good efforts bud.

Were have you been hiding 😂😂😂

Lol you need to stop leaving me bro 😢, Iv been checking up to see if you have uploaded but you hadn’t. Good to have you back bro.

Looking good big man

What happened to the videos bro

You beautiful British wanker you just saved my ass 😅 you have no idea how long I have been fighting the upper oil pan. Until I watched your video I didn’t realize there were bolts inside that I had to undo. Thanks from your relatives across the pond.

This car is now up for sale by another owner I’m looking to buy it was there a reason for why you sold it ?

Hi Adam great video just saw the exact same car for sale and was wondering if you could get in contact with me about proof of engine thank you

Great video how much did you get that for needs alot of work but will be fun 👍👍👍

They aren’t deep scratches. It’s where the clear coat cracked because it’s too cold outside

Wow great job, currently looking to do the same thing with the headliner. I'm not too sure about the paint on the visors. I was looking to get black visor, but can only find leather one for the convertible modele (in use and good price). Do you know / think the convertible one will fit the coupe 350z?? Can't really find an answer online for that.Otherwise imma have to paint them like yours! Thanks!!

"Promo SM" 😋

How are you brother, not seeing any uploads lately 😢hope your doing well ❤

I have a black z with the light coffee or "orange" seats. The seats pop and it looks awesome from outside the car. Looking forward to what you will be doing next for the console as I'd like to do it too! There's a sub from SA! Great vid

Wow great job!

You are about to put a tablet in that spot on the waterfall.

That's tedious 😅 great Patience.

Shouldn't you polish it before applying the clear coat? That is how I restore my headlights and it looks crystal clear.

Where are you from? in the UK of course

Adam another good choice gona be diffrent beast this one. A fully built engine and turbo wow this is a lot of work. Can't wait to see your journey with this one.

As a corsa d vxr owner I must say your brave taking this engine on for your first rebuild although I’ve heard they’re easy to work on once you get to know them, defo gonna follow the channel now and learn from you 👌

Ive replaced an engine Adam but this is something else .....great camera work great content well done mate i watched all the way through, impressed

Couldnt understand why it wasnt just a replace whole engine job untill you said about remaking it to be a built engine. That makes sense. Still this level of dissaseembly makes me stressed!

Respect Adam!

Bro 🤩 well done 👏 I wasn’t expecting you to get started on the engine. Really really proud of you doing all that with no experience, Iv got a car you can help me with, we can do a Collab and il pay you as well if you interested. When you all done of course ❤ keep up the amazing content.

Awesome content Brother, great to see already much work on it in its introduction, love that ! Love these cars as well, they get a bit of a bad rap, yet gotta love the performance in these little under the radar things. Your upgrade of the engine sounds fantastic, sounds so much fun and it certainly is to watch, cheers mate !

Brave man😮
