- My girlfriend's Nissan 240sx S13 project car has not been running right for some time. Her SR20det swap has some long over due basic maintenance that we needed to knock out. Upon completing the job, we find an interesting failure...

Came here to say the same
16:20 - "You know I can't afford this..."
Says a man who owned a car with a Lambo Diablo OEM headlamp... LOL!
😅
As a cancer survivor i appreciate you giving people that motivational speech in the middle of the vid. Good stuff man. Sometimes people need to pause and make changes to move in a better direction in life.
Dude fr makes me stop and think about what I’m really doing
Finding the actual problem upon final assembly after a full days work is the most “thats why i hate cars”shid ever for me, you are built different. Nice Job
Def but it does come with a win sometimes. now at least all that other stuff is nice and new or cleaned up
For future reference, you can spray brake cleaner around the manifold and gasket surfaces and hoses/couplers to check for vacuum leaks. If you spray near a leak with the engine running it will change how it idles.
The shout out to Drift Games was the best, what they are going through is an absolute nightmare… I’ve been following them for almost 2 years now and have seen them progress. ALL of their builds were in the shop when it caught fire, literally lost everything, including their brand new merch that they just launched. It sucks, definitely heartbreaking. I really hope they can recover from this, I know they will - in time of course. A major blow to the car community
Bro I bought a car, got screwed over on it, it was clapped, this man put the motivation in me from his 240 rebuild to actually fix the car and replace all the rusted out panels with panels from other cars, I was bouta give up but this man single handily gave me the motivation to actually get the car done and keep it out of the scrapyard
as a young member of the car community i love your content and it helps me understand how cars work😁
Prizza has such an older brother feeling whenever he gives advice and inspiration. He doesn’t try to be super deep or anything he just tells the truth and what you need to hear. This is why we love you man
Thank you for shouting out our boys in Drift Games. It can’t be understated how much they have done to save the the nearly dead Japanese car scene here in Ireland and this is a disaster for them and for us.
I vote y'all keep the wooden valve cover, maybe even dip the coil cover in a different kinda wood👀
The motivator at 6:50 was exactly what I needed, but I didn’t know it! Smashing it as always - thanks bud
Casually watching mike work on a car, suddenly gets a therapy session 😂 great video keep it up
My ZS 120 is having big power loss issues that ive benn struggling with for a while. Watching you fix this over the last few weeks has given me majot motivation to get it fixed. thank you
Dude I can't explain I'm really enjoying your uploads at the moment in the UK it's 08:23 am and its always good to wake up to one of your videos
I like these late night videos, they fit with my insomnia issues LOL
The cut hose for the opening is a great idea. Im going to use that for the snorkel on my lifted 99 crv.
1/4 year update, I've completely rid myself of the projects that were stagnating in my barn. By a miracle I traded one for a corolla SR5, and that car's been nothing but a joy to consistently work on. I feel that I'm on a good pace to have the car ready to park up at gridlife midwest this year, but I wont be disappointed if it doesn't get to that point either. Your videos have taught me to lose my fear of working on vehicles and to just send it, every mistake is an opportunity to learn and there's nothing wrong with that. Thanks for the constant inspo mike :)
Today I finally rebuild my engine, I have all the parts, and tools needed. After 3 years, today, my car will have its heart again. Your motivation was right on point
On old maf cars like franzies that hole in the charge pipe would 1000% cause the engine to suck in unmetered air, which would cause a lean condition any time but especially at closed throttle. Plus thats a MASSIVE boost leak! Congrats on the repair. love the nissan chime too
I don't know why I keep watching him when I don't even own a car 😅. Perhaps he's just explaining things in the simplest way possible.
youtube hasnt been feeding me your videos lately, but im glad i got this one, your lil speech at 7 minutes was very needed rn
9:44 most sr are notorious for crank case blow by. Definitely run an oil catch can
been managing my time to be able to watch mike's videos on time or atleast get notified, with that dedication ive somehow learned from it and am now managing my time on something important aswell like doing house chores or finishing my assignments. Thx Mike!
the joy that comes to me when i see prizza mike uploaded is unmatchable
Killing it Mike!!! Love the uploads
Don't block off the PCV Valve, The engine needs to breath, blocking off the PCV Valve the engine can't release the pressure built up in the crankcase, you will end up pushing out seals like the rear main or front main seal and end up with a huge oil leak.
Love the long night and opening YT and seeing you posted (W for the membership)
Just about to go to sleep and seen you uploaded, gotta watch the vid first ahaha
Loving the vids man been watching for a fair while now from Australia
Really satisfying and informative Mike. Love this stuff.
ayyy another upload!. yesterday I was just waiting cuz I wanted to watch ur vids but I watch them all
i havent enjoyed a car content creator like this in a while. idk what it is with u mike, it might be the motivational speeches, or the teaching moments. i've learned a lot from you. thank you bro.
MIKE thanks so much for the motivation speech, man it actually helped me alot
Mike coming through with the quality content as always
Awesome work keep going cars need lots of love
Brilliant video Mike and great chat one of your best !
ur literally my favorite bro
bro just hit me with some wisdom cleaning that throttle body
6:50. Really dig the motivatinal monolog. Much needed🤙🏽
Love your content my guy, keep up the awesome vids🎉❤
Good on you Mike for throwing it out there a lot of people find it hard to talk about stuff like that legend 🤘🏻
Good video always my dude keep up the good work 😎
You are amazing! Im still here since antroof! Youve motivated me to start savin up for my dream car! ❤❤❤❤
Mike your videos are so good, an honestly Ive watched everysingle once since you popped up on my recommended page. Keep up the good work, hard work.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS, saw this on your insta story and Ive been waiting to see what it was
lovin the motivational speeches dude
another incredible video with unmatched vibes 🤙🏻🤙🏻
and this is why your my fav car youtuber your the only person to mention drift games and yeh it was rlly bad and sad for all the boys at drift games and the other companys there too
if only you got to visit there one time you wouldve seen how cool there place was i was lucky enough to do so and the cameras didnt do a justace for how cool it really was
Bro i was gonna like the video regardless because its a prizzamike video but that motivational speech at 7min hit different man so many people needed to hear that..
Never Give Up💪🏼
Watching this after i did some break work on my civic. Rusty cast iron break calipers so i had to use some elbow grease to remove rust clumps from hardware mounts so the pads move much smoother. I watched the break swap video of yours and it taught me new spec on how my breaks should be. Before i had to pry the pads with a flat head screw driver so it made me think that should cause a lot of squeak or decrease breaking power. Anyways! Your videos are always a joy to watch. I keep learning and never stop progressing. PS. Congratz on fixing Gf 240 :3
Fuck yea! so stoked you got her running right. Love the work man, keep on givin er.
Sometimes yah gotta be a responsible adult. Didn't get any project progress this week but yard work galore. Need a new roof myself LOL soon as i clean the place up a bit more.
caught your upload within an hour so wanted to take the opportunity to say that your mentality with working on cars; learning what you need as you go and making things work with what you can have, has helped me so much. had my car die out and refuse to start, it ended up blowing 0psi on cylinder 4 LMAO. its the JDM version of the 98 accord SiR-T so there is absolutely no resources on it or it's specific engine. i decided to jump in and i'm in the middle of my first engine swap, in my driveway, and the videos you put out has help my motivation to have faith in myself so much. i really really appreciate the work you do and am even going to try put out a video of it to fill the gap in resources available for the car. thanks so much bro, u got love from new zealand 💪
Absolute favourite fabricator and full sender you’re smashing every build
PrizzaMike, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
speedo problem could be leaking capacitors on the speedo board. I had the same issue, speedo would randomly jump around then stop working but odometer has always worked
PizzaMike you are the master at fixing Nissan 240sx you know those car's a lot of better than most people do . I'm the same way when it comes to the Ford Probe
nice weather for some wrenching! and fixing the issue! best feeling ever
Gracias bro por los subtitulos 👍👍👍 de los pocos canales de youtube en ingles que lo hacen y se agradece estoy seguro que tienes bastante audiencia que habla españos saludos y bendiciones.... Saludos desde Maxico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Hey nice job man. Glad to see it was a simple fix
Thanks for the motivation, I have seen those style of Intercooler clamps cause boost leaks in theory they look cool but they over tighten and mushroom the hoses and cause more leaks :)
Yay new upload 🎉
It’s been a shitty week considering I wrecked my truck yesterday, this atleast brings me a little joy, thank you Mike and keep doing what you do!
Hell yeah dude I'm glad you were able to figure out what's wrong with franzies 240! And I really appreciate all of the motivation you give in each video
5am and Mike uploads? For sure I’m watching it right then and there
Thanks for the motivation brother.
Nice Video Mike, i started building a drift car and its very cool to make this Dream come true step by step.
Its a mercedes w202 Limo. Very reliable and there are a lot of affordable parts here in germany. Keep going on ❤
Damn waking up to a new vid is dope
10 mins ago, nice, i like seeing the videos, even tho i dont comment that often anymore, but it makes my knowledge about cars increase a lot
finally finished paint my car so yeah im ahead for this year. keep the motivation up
Wise Words from Young Jedi! Great advice! Cool Video
Police : Sir do you know how fast you were going ?
Mike: No, You ?
Nice fix, Mike! Yep, it's so sad Driftgames lost everything in the fire. Best way to help them is for us all to buy merch from their store, or a donation. Lead times are long, but we've just got to be patient. I know we all want them to come back stronger than before. Cheers. Leigh.
SR turbo is certainly a bucket list engine. I WILL have it at some point.
Starting at 6:47... I didn't know I needed to this, but this is exactly I needed. Thanks!
Another prizzamike classic
6:50 Yes. Garage getting ready!!!!
Might want to hook up the pcv to the Closer to vacuum. Good job !
These motivational speeches got me rethinking my life man 😢
Easy 200k Subs for this year. 🔥🔥🔥
Make sure the PCV system has somewhere to vent to. If you cap off all of the PCV ports the crankcase will pressurize and blow your cam/crank/valve cover seals out
Ive picked up to replace my 1987 y30 cedric's timing belt, not the easiest job but you have to start somewhere. The snow started melting here and i wanna be able to drive the cedric when the snow is completely melted.
Normally when the speed o does that and randomly jumps around it a bad speed o. Mine did the same thing, I took the cluster apart and replaced just the speed o motor and it works now.
What new upload yeh yeh
good food and prizza just uploaded something, perfect lunch
Nice, another mystery solved!
Mike doesn't miss with those smooth transitions, impresses me every time lol
Gonna be a good Saturday!
Much appreciation for mikes speech and mentioning drift games I know we will get the shop built again
So happy to see Franzy's 240 up and running again. She was smiling from ear to ear :-)
so nice of mike such a huge creator to shout out a small upcoming one such as drift games
Mike's motivation speech is actually amazing
Damn Mike, those were good words at 7:01 to 7:38 very inspiring thanks keep up the good videos 😊
13:44 my r31 did similar things, if you pull the cluster the circuit board that all the gauges plug into possibly has cracked solder joints on the pins, or there is a cracked trace somewhere on that pcb. the other failure mode for this is the motor for the needle has an intermittent connection to the circuit board on the speedometer, the one that plugs into the main circuit board for the cluster, which is also something i had to fix on my car (they forgot to solder the positive lead to the pcb in the factory so it was just floating there intermittently for 30 years)
yeah probably this plus leaking capacitors, electrolytes from leaking caps can damage the board like that. this happened on my mx83, with almost identical symptoms to prizza
Was about to sleep but got this notification sleep can wait I guess 😂😂
6:54 always with the wise words, you’re huge inspiration of mine !
What did you do to the valve cover? Can't tell if wrap or paint but I like it!
I'm having really similar problems on my 1990 mustang GT the guy I got it from did a hack job on the vacuum system and I have like 6 or 7 leaks! I might use it as an excuse to pull the motor and build it a little though lol
Anytime you're putting on a new paper gasket soak it it oil or give both sides some grease. It will help in the future if you ever have to take it off again. It prevents it from getting stuck on both mating surfaces. Old mechanic trick.
