I just don’t understand how you’re not closer to a million subs by now. You definitely deserve it. One of my favorite car channels for sure. Keep it up bro...
Well. I drop in every now and then, I don’t subscribe. I don’t like the way he builds cars, all slammed with that weird drift camber and poke setup on the front. Also the only driving he does is drifting which I’m not into.

When donny starts talking about the reliability of rbs ...... bro come to New Zealand on a Friday night and see how rbs are treated her and they'll still start the next day
People in New Zealand call a non turbo Rb20e and GTE , if you motor swap it we call it a GTS plus T or just a GTST from a guy that’s owned about 15 skylines I’d call it a GTST . Only thing you need to change is that dash cluster.
Donald is hilarious. Lacking reliability is true. Briefly drove a grey R33 gts-t my parents bought from my cousin. They got scammed by the way. Ran weird. Had a RB26 block with a RB25 head. Swapped the spark plugs and it ran great. The car would kick out and slide hard when pulling second gear. A great driving experience. Wish I could afford to buy a nice one.
Great work.. Some tips from RFBNZ.. Miss fires, always run iridium racing plug's, test coil packs as they break down quick from misfiring. Overheating- bleed coolant system on the steepest angle possible, or pressurize with coolant. Air always gets caught in the heater system. I recommend binning the factory manifold. And go with a quality Plazmaman(au) or Sinco(Nz) manifold. It improves the engines volumetric efficiency. You got the perfect intake for flow. But the exhaust manifold should be stainless steel if you are ocd like me. Then... what's with the tiny turbo? Insert a custom made MSE turbo from NZ... and you will have boost much sooner. Highly recommend the largest cams you can get from Kelford cams 280+(nz) And once you tune for e 85.. You can happily bang the 9k limiter every morning. We have been spoiled here in NZ. But we don't ever treat any RBs with any mechanical sympathy whatsoever... Keep up the great work. stance is on point... Hope 2021 is a great year for you all.
I like how relatable your content is Jimmy. Just a good ol boy and his friends makin' memories. I just recently got my SR running. Having some issues with head noise / possibly bad VTC gear, but other then that really hyped to get on track again!
I started replacing the idler stud and tensioner bolt every time I do a timing service. I've seen the bend, back out, and even break from stretching after being reused. They're so cheap, it's easy insurance.
RB25s are only unreliable if you put too much boost through the standard Turbo or HG, which was very common back in the day - as standard they will run pretty much forever. Biggest issue with them really is exhaust manifold cracking and exhaust manifold bolts snapping, but those are usually people running them too hot to frequently after putting to much boost through the standard turbo...
for people saying its hydraulic lifters thats not the noise they make, its more of a ticking then a knock.. they either need to be adjusted or are warn. that knock is from the fly wheel or top end bearings.
Had a ceffy rb25det for like 2 years and had so meny random problems, put so much work n money in to it, I gave up got a 335i n56 it's been so good, much more power n reliability
Perfect timing, just sat down and packed a bowl to start my Super Bowl Sunday right. Also I aspire to have a shop like Tommy’s someday with just mad parts on hand at all times
Love the wheels. Keeps me motivated to build my 25det c33 When it makes funny sounds so you beat on it and smash limiter afew timea and it fixes it self🤣 rb life
That breaking up is because of slightly over-inflating lifters. Just takes a little time, if everything else fails just get it nice and warm and then let it sit till it's cooled down. Usually fixes it
"it's gonna snow tomorrow" It certainly did, I think it just stopped within the past hour. I'm gonna assume I drove by the shop a few times yesterday during the making of this vid, got a friend in the same complex that Moarfab's old spot was... wishing that anyone on that strip would have an opening sometime soon for shop space. Been trying since November maybe.
After I built my m52 and put it in it was making terrible terrible sounds and just letting it run fixed it up and its the best motor I have had so far.
Run an extra ground on the igniter harness straight to the head. Misfires on an RB can be a headache. Head tick can be an issue with the timing cover where the can trigger bolts on.
Surreal watching today I’ve just seen Chris Rudnik driving around in a M2 Comp running it in. Then straight into watching Jimmy “iron out faults” by performing a running in shop burn out. 🙌🏼
I love how lately Jimmy has his employees to “Drive him around?” Is that Flex? Ok ok I am guessing why he’s doing it is because it’s!!! Much!!! Safer!!!! To not!!! Drive and vlog!
Right!! Looks so clean! I gotta get my hands on one of those for a personal build. I know I'd struggle with wanting to drift it though, and respecting its pure beauty.
Jimmy, Please keep those dope orange rain guards on the doors, but buff and polish them up along with all the lights on this thing. Theyre all dope but looking a little mangy.
that shop burnout after the first start up was the most aussie things youve ever done
Wouldn’t recommend pulling one of those in your shop, too many gems to fuck up there
Slick one, yes. And well deserved.
Maybe Ty does a wheelie in yours, if you ask nicely.
Maybe he’s turning into sammit 😂
Wait is the shop skid not a requirement in the States? Sounds risky, it's the only way to guarantee your car will work when it's done
He needs that fyeah refresh for his 33
Check yesterday’s video about the washer on the crank. Please jimbo
Agreed!...when I saw the comment yesterday I was really hoping he did as well.
YES
LOL it got a toothed gear where that "washer" aka belt build used to sit so don't think that's the issue it's the new 20 year old belt for sure
I know what washer you are talking about, but why should he check his own video again? What do you mean man?
The washer is still pushing the belt forward that little bit though
JIMMY GET A CLEAR COVER TO WATCH THE BELT LOL

@@Nick210honestly though. Also that fake ass laugh that he does. Thing is annoying
He has to work hard for his content and can’t flood us with fast builds, his pockets don’t extend into his dads like adamlz
@@Spoder_Man you watching his vids just to hate???😂😂
When Brian said” I feel good in my heart right now” I felt that shit
😂 “RJ beat you up in the boxing ring dude” “Dude those gloves 🥊 weighed as much as I did!” I was laughing so hard!
I need a video on this!
@@rayseantoney5367 It's one of jimmy's old uploads a few weeks back
13:38Pull and inspect the plugs. Make sure your aftermarket crank sensor didn't loosen up.
This is when you need a clear cover to keep an eye on the belt
He’s going for an OEM look
Shop burnouts after getting a swap running are a must. Wouldn’t be a complete video without one 🤘🏼
That red first gen civic in the back round when they leave Tommy's shop
Josh’s car is the coolest slow car I’ve seen
im just waiting for Tommy to get a City Turbo at this point
That "knock" noise is real
Yeah I heard it too.
I don't understand how they either can't hear it or aren't worried about it.
@@TacticalTushie he did say he " hoped it would go away" lol
the valve cover vents are open its probably just head noise
@@oldglorydrift ya.... I don't think so
Also pvc valve and breather valves are open, should help it chill out when plumbed
It’s speed density, shouldn’t matter
@@joshhoople6090 the PCV and breather valves vent crank case pressure. I think he's saying you can hear the top end ticking from the valves, that need to be plumbed to an OCC etc
B-Hall looking like he’s ready for his Senior pictures. 👏🏾👏🏾
New Zealander here* Trick with RBs is to not touch anything that's not broken and to smash the limiter as much as possible
lmao haha well put!
When donny starts talking about the reliability of rbs ...... bro come to New Zealand on a Friday night and see how rbs are treated her and they'll still start the next day
Ty Jimmy your willingness to keep going on this build when it didn't go right helped push forward on my build.im now a master at W11 Rover engines lol
I bet jdm dad is happy to see he helps his kids so much.

Jimmy and Dj putting out content on a Sunday? True heros.
East coast gets a snow day and a new video from Jimmy?! The RB rips!

Sounds like it’s knocking
Patreon gang! Saturday night upload for the boys.
Bro if ya haven't. just watch any vid from a year ago... You have made jumps my guy!!
Sounds way better than yesterday..like butter as Jimmy always says 😄 It rips!!
Jimmy "i got a good deal" Oaks
Congrats man. Super stoked to see how clean it came out. Pumped to see more of this thing. 🤟🏼

I wish I could see grass temp -6
Midwest boys rn 👁️👄👁️ Grass?
Sounds soooooooo good !
Congrats 🎉🎉
Love r33's. Gratz Jimmy
Easily my favorite car man. Congrats, that's super exciting!
Something about this build I just love.
Jimmy, this video is honestly the best video of this year 👏 🙌 😂 you did it!
Love the way it sounds looks amazing job Jimmy once again 👏 😀 👌
This thing sound insane!!! So good dude keep up the hard work mate 👍👌
Thats awesome glad its running good
Love the wheels. Keeps me motivated to build my 25det c33
When it makes funny sounds so you beat on it and smash limiter afew timea and it fixes it self🤣 rb life
Glad its running!!
For air filter install a jdm style mushroom one to keep the amazing turbo noises!!!
Congrats!

that's sick! nice shop burnout too!
the fact that you're only at 300k subscribers still seems criminal to me
Sick!! Man im excited to see this one on the road!!
Big dub! And a super deserved one too haha. I felt so uplifted seeing that mini burnout!
Jimbo you are the man
Dam man turbo make the best sounds I've ever heard
After I built my m52 and put it in it was making terrible terrible sounds and just letting it run fixed it up and its the best motor I have had so far.
Donald's Response Had me in tears. We need more of his opinions that shit is awesome.
Hell yeah brotha congratulations
Plus t is a non turbo engine with turbo slapped on it you did it the right way
Dude that just sounds awesome!!
Can't wait to see and hear it on the dyno though!
10:50 i agree, i got 10 that the oil pump fails soon.
Do I hear it knocking or are my ears playing up?
Definitely top end.
But forsure ticking or knocking.
Hard to tell the pitch through video.
It's just the lifters. It happens when they are drained of oil and will slowly go away as the oil flows.
@@Pheatan RB's don't have lifters with oil ports, they are bucket and shim like a JZ.
@@ndh8445, not sure about oil ports, but the RB25 def runs hydraulic lifters unlike the RB26 (solid like JZ)
@@ndh8445 yeah some of them do man, your thinking of a NEO / GTR engine
Damn Jimmy you gotta take car of your hands. These chemicals will have you looking crazy in a few years
Congrats

This video highkey made me so happy
Khaki Moto sounds great
I really like those wheels on the gt+t
easily my fav JimmyO car now. Needs some fyeahspec clean up but in due time I'm sure.
That car sits super pretty
Right!! Looks so clean! I gotta get my hands on one of those for a personal build. I know I'd struggle with wanting to drift it though, and respecting its pure beauty.
SO HYPED!!
That sounds amazing 🔥
That moment you just can't contain yourself, pops a burnie right off the lift love it
The 33 is such a pretty car! Please get it paint corrected and buffed out!
Dude that car is amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy, Please keep those dope orange rain guards on the doors, but buff and polish them up along with all the lights on this thing. Theyre all dope but looking a little mangy.
BHall has a great hair cut!
Cheeee!!! Congrats on getting the rb25 running!!! Sounds wickeddd!!
I also feel good in my heart right now 👍🏻
Conga Rats!!! Slick car man, treat her well. GTT or GT2 would be fitting project codes for it.
Oakes garage or no garage lol. The progress you n ur team have made since i been watching is awesome‼️
