RB30 300ZX FIRST START DOESN'T GO TO PLAN (Bad Noises) EP7

- čas přidán 9. 09. 2024
- With a dyno deadline looming we set about doing the finishing touches on the Z32 RB300ZX build.
First starts are always a bit stressful, especially when a completely rebuilt engine and fresh wiring and plumbing are involved. This is when you get to find out what you forgot to tighten up and the RB25/30 sure let us know shortly after it fired.

Dag nab it, no more flags. Why did I wait so long for the greatest bit of merch? I’m glad I’ve got a ton of shirts & stickers to keep me going
Gashdarnit, I wanted to buy me some more Use Ya Brain T-shirts, sizes are sold out 😢 And that Nicht Gefinger Poken sticker needs to be on the store too!
@@deeze67 We demand (errm... politely request) a second batch of man-sized Brain T-Shirts! 🙏
I got my flag a few years ago... Alan is constantly scorning my bad decisions in the workshop 😅 Cheers. Leigh. 🏴 PS: Looking forward to the final episode in Alan's workshop... not gonna lie, but I will shed a few tears. Love you guys to bits & thank you Alan for the entertainment over the years! Look after yourself, mate & also the fam. Go & enjoy yourself!! And to you, Woody... looking forward to The Skid Factory 2.0... I'm sure is going to be cool & we'll hopefully see Alan popping in from time to time & give you a right winding up!! ❤
wheres the use ya brain flags
"Show cars look great because they don't work." Love the candor! 😆
Good on you Alan for being forthcoming and honest about making a mistake. This goes to show that even experts aren't immune to it.
Jobs that size rarely go 100% to plan all the time, long as there no loose bolts when it leaves the garage/factory you have done well that's what I say 👍
@@johncoldwell340 Heck even smaller jobs can be overlooked. I forgot to check my exhaust manifold bolts after i offered it up (turbo attached, wasn't light, minimal space) as i was exhausted (ha...) And then completely forgot to do it before building everything else back up as i had slept since. Its so easily done
Look forward to you taking the skid factory to another place Woody and thanks to Al for his contribution in the past…thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment you two have produced…but I can feel Als patience for mucking around with cars on video is almost up…carry on Woody, chill time Al!
I get it. Was going to do a my own channel of me doing work I used to do. The first day when I realized the job itself was going to take twice as long due to having to move lights, cameras etc, not even counting the editing, I was like yea, naa. It would've hurt my wallet, and killed my flow. Plan on doing a doco, can take my time with that, but props to these guys, and people like MCM to be constantly putting out content. That's a lot of work, and dedication.
If Allan does the Kramer pic then woody has to do the George one hahahaha
I am going to miss the wisdom from Turbo Yoda. Good luck to your apprentice in his new venture.
padawan*
What's the fresh start? I missed it? No mire skid factory?
@@FatterTony na Allen wants to do his own thing at home not filming it woody taking over
Never make the thing you love doing into a job
Silver lining; whenever Al appears for a guest spot or just to hang around in the background of a video, his dry humour and wisdom will be that much sweeter. 👌🏻
Great vid as always gentleman.
Hope everything is going ok with Al, never really seen him with what seems like minimal patience on camera before.
Come on Al this channel is nothing without you DONT GO
"don't forget these bolts"
That's what Boeing said.
😂
Those blanking panels lasted a surprisingly long time before leaving the flight frame
Airframe@@jonathanwright5550
I feel for Allan, just give him sometime out of the glare of the spotlight and he'll have it sorted
I hope Al is alright. Seems like his patience is getting pretty short.
Best of luck for the future.
He'll be fine when he's not forced to pump out a video every week
I feel like the Wood Shed would be an appropriate name.
Yea, the wood factory sounds like you'd get onlyfans links before finding the channel
“The WoodShed” is actually a gym owned by woodys cousin in vic. Sam wood from the bachelor tv show years ago.
New shed looks sweet woody! Congratulations 🎉
Coming along mate! Still plenty to do but I’m getting there
Its good to see the reality of the final stages of a build like this. It is rare that everything goes right on a project of this magnitude.
Looking forward to seeing the new shed mate. And great to see the og's ride coming along. Cheers fellas 👌
Damn it, its just after 11pm and Im supposed to be heading to bed. Oh well sleep can wait
This car is going to be so much fun to drive. Hats off turbo yoda mint build 👏
Respect 🙏 for making this video.
Past my bedtime; will have to watch this in the morning 😂
Thank you guys for entertaining the world! 👌
Cheers for the alternator resistor tip!
"Turbo Yoda"you brought me every spanner except for the one I need😂😂😂
Great work guys. I rebuilt an old chevy 350 years ago and worked on it in the evenings after work .... forgot to torque the cam-gear bolts, in that motor the cam gear holds the cam forwards in the engine - so after running for about 20min doing the run-in procedure for the cam the engine stops.. The cam moved back in the engine and the lobe caught the lifter next to it and the cam snapped into 3 pieces. That's why marking the bolts you've torques/tightened is a useful thing especially if you working intermittently.
Al's knowledge and the depths he goes into when explaining things is amazing. So helpful.
Al, Woody, thank you for many years of amazing content, starting with you taking over the MCMTV2 channel for a bit.
Looking forward to the next chapter of the channel, and thankful for what you have shared with us to date!
Cough...30yrs Woody !!!
Hats off to the effort gone into this beautiful build.
Lots if thinking outside the box to get it together.
Got a soft spot for Z32, very under rated, enjoy.
Have a good break Al and remember the enjoyment of the work, turning spanners with your mate and seeing things come to fruition. Life is too short to be under the pump all of the time.
Good luck Woody with the new venture enjoy 👌
I’m going to miss Al’s genius and wit. Thanks for all so far and good luck to woody.
Salute to you too Woody! - Great ears hearing those loose timing gear bolts too BTW.
Watched the whole series yet it still threw me for a loop looking at the rear end of a Z32 and hearing silky RB sounds when Al revs it for the first time.. I'll stick to my VG, but can't fault this build for anything, really nicely put together Z!
Would have been happy with a VG also but could not find one when I needed it.
@@theskidfactory would have loved to see your take on a VG build, but this was a treat to follow nonetheless
I'm fizzin to check out the new premises Woody! Looks like a ripper space there for shenanigans 💪🏻
Sorry, but I can see the tension that is there from a young calf, razzing the bull and it's coming through the vids. You guys are both gr8, one needs a quick chill & the other needs an ego check. Fingers crossed 🤞 for some future collabs with you two 😉
Yeah it was very palpable, never really see too much emotion from Al.
Guess change can do weird things to people, I could imagine that this would be like losing a loved one, having to pass on the baton for something that you have put blood, sweat and tears into.
Al if you read this, just try to enjoy this last project for the Skid Factory, nothing worse than living with regret and ending on a low note.
You have been an inspiration to more people than you could ever imagine.
Hang in there brother 👌
@@JT-4real absolutely m8. Still love seeing the vids but it's getting tough for them and can understand when people differ and it's a very respectful transition. I guess I'm a fanboy that will miss TSF 😞
Nahhh...I can see why that might be a perception, but these two are like brothers, go watch early episodes before the selective editing and production values went up, they are often bickering, arguing over who's turn it is to buy lunch and 'Lemon Squash' and winding each other up. I reckon Al just wants to put his feet up and enjoy doing projects at his own pace Vs a grinding production schedule for Skid Factory. Good on ya lad.
What a lovely build-can’t wait to see it on the dyno!
Here’s hoping that Al gets some rest n relaxation after all this frantic video production and car building. Either endeavor is taxing by itself; put the two together and it’s a recipe for madness.
I purchased a cabinet business from a guy who was a perfectionist. He got to the point where he could no longer make it out of the office to work on projects since he knew they would never meet his expectations. I was relatively new and did not see the mistakes which were driving him crazy. After five years or so I started to feel the same anxiety and saw EVERY flaw. Not saying this is what is happening to Al but for me I had to step away from the day-to-day and let my guys deal with production. I came around but being a perfectionist sucks.
Excellent tip about the alternator resistor! Definitely going to use that.
al you are the best, hope to still see you around in mighty car mods and skid factory videos, its not going to be the same with out you! legeeeend
Great work Al and Woodie live the videos
Same thing just happened on Gingium's Miata last month too, he said they backed out again though months after he tightened them
Al, I absolutely love the amount of effort you put into your wiring harnesses. What I wouldn’t give for you to redo mine.
Yeah yeah, the bane of every car build: lose bolts, unplugged oil lines, THAT ticking noise and for good measure some metal screeching... 🤪
And we'll surely gonna miss this unique mixture of old grumpy mechanic wisdom and young tech-savy hotshot. Al's stoic one-liners are always just so damn entertaining... 😁
Great video. Bet you’re buzzing Alan. Mistakes happen. Glad you both show them. We all make them.
Best project you have done of all time. It's definitely my favorite.
Looking forward to it Woody!
Gonna miss you Al, enjoy your time away you beautiful bastard.
1994 is 30 years ago Woody.
Quick math
Don't remind me. Hitting the big 30 in May.
Woody trying to make himself sound younger
I don't want to admit it either I was in High School then.
Love this build but again all the build come out the skids are sick but the exites for the z32 are over the top cant wait to see it in action Al is 100% a legend great stuff guys
The Wood factory!! I love it!
Awesome work guys
I'm about to turn the key on my own build in the next couple of days. Now I'm shitting myself!!
It's ALIVE AAAALLLIIIVE
A Use Ya Brain Al picture would be very fitting for the new shop, missus got me that shirt and another for Christmas, Love ya work boys 👍
Hopefuly Woody could do some build bios in a year or so when Al has completed a non stress project and truly love working on cars again!👍
Great episode
Well done guys! Really excited to see the new shop Woody!
Will miss ya Al. You seamed so nervous at the start. But you got your groove on. Will miss ya. But i wish you and your family all the best.
I recall starting my shovel up after having it out & pulled the top end apart to find out why the valve train had made some noise (oil got too hot & thin & hydraulic lifters stopped working right for a bit no harm) . . did't notice the throttle cable was't seated properly at the grip & was hung up & it started up at full revs although had given it some turns to get some oil up . . probably took some years off of its life
Rob Schneider was his name.
I have never been able to confirm this but a Rob Schneider owns a great Buick GNX . It put out big power and i believe the guy bought it before the prices went mental.
If it’s Deuce Bigalow himself then that is legendary.
thank god that noise was only the tension bolts on adjustable cam gear. sheesh. thank the heavens! nice find! youll get that sorta thing on these big custom jobs
congrats boys, sure beats the three head gaskets my first build blew because i didn't use me brain
Good job guys, I’m glad Allen had a little luck on his side
Nice piece. Woody prepared to take the load off.
You're both great at what you do, and I'll be cheering from the sidelines in all your future endeavours whether they are televised or not.
Wood Factory sneak peek looks sick, excited for the grand tour!
Thanks for showing the things forgotten. We are all human boys 👌
Hey great show nice build.
Hey Alan are you OK just asking and letting you know all will ok and you are not alone just sing out,People care.👍
You're amazing Allan and of course Woody. These vids are priceless guys
THANK YOU FOR GREAT VIDEO
Damn that sounds so much better than any vg or vq… this could be my favourite skid factory build I reckon.
Looking forward to skid factory 2.0 too, al clearly needs a break so hopefully after some time away we seem the odd cameo from the one and only turbo yoda.
21:43 Rob Schneider! =) Legend
I had no idea what SAE stood for LOL.. learn something new every day.
Also didnt know about the LED resistors, when I had the R5 and IC7 installed on the Soarer, they put an alternator light next to the keypad where the head unit used to be. It does look kind of "racecar" to have a warning light there, that area could be better used for a rotary switch or something though.
It's actually Standard of Automotive Engineers in the context of oil grading but don't let that get in the way of banter.
@theskidfactory hey, I tried looking for the 1uz intake plenum adapter plate you guys made but can't find them online. They going to be available again?
They'll be available from Allied Performance.
Unequal length downpipes for the twins is probably why it sounds more like a typical v6. Equal length produces a smoother and higher pitch tone. Turbo manifold will have an effect as well, but all the runners looked close to equal length.
Lol, it does have a tinge of twin-3cyl~V6 ish sound, but my hats off to Al for a gorgeous God's Chariot motor in this FairLady, for his old lady.
I'm certainly going to miss my weekly dose of Alan Butler zen. I look forward to any appearances Turbo Yoda makes in future! Take care, Al, you absolute legend!
Best channel on here.
Al looking frustrated, made worse I assume by the horrendous temperature in SEQ of late
All these fools in the comment section saying they see tension are dreaming. These guys just get along and know each other well
I mostly agree with you, but I think Al was a bit tense about something being not right etc.
Totally normal human stuff, particularly with a first start of his own car. People just want to make out like it's something more than that.
The new factory unit looks great. Looks like it’s gonna be even better than Bennys setup.
The car looks and sounds mint awesome job lads.
Liking the project is coming together. Good luck.
see ya dudes, love you guys, cracking work Al
Something I have come across only a few times is a overcharging alternator that also illuminates the battery light on older cars pre2008
Another cracking vid guys! Will there be any special merch? Just wondering before I pull the trigger on a order to the UK!
Boys, this things is fucking cool, and it sounds sick. As a fellow RB owner, I actually really dig this weird sound.
Glad no damage. Take your time, do it right.
Sounds freaking mint I reckon! Huge amount of work 🙌
Gonna miss you Allan!
31:30 We only know it because we live in the States... Where the SAE standard was created, and has been used for decades here.
Can we visit the wood factory???? That would be super cool 😎👍
This is a possibility! It’s a hard one though as I’d like to give everyone the time they deserve and if there’s work to be done having unexpected visitors is a big distraction!
@@theskidfactory yeah for sure just like invite only open day etc 😎👍
@@theskidfactory can your first build be a morris minor woody? With a mad engine swap???
Hope you guys loctite those cam gear bolts 😮
It's not going to be the same without Al😢
Sounds good to me mean work Al! 👍
Allan will be missed for sure. Curious to see where the channel goes from there.
Thanks .
Rob Schneider is the name you're looking for fellas
new digs look sweet! take us on a tour bro
GG fellas and especially Al. Got my merch T this week and they are damn good quality! :)
I only know what SAE means because we had an hour long training sesh with the Penrite rep last week 😂
I had one with Castrol reps a couple months ago, mainly about 0-20, 0-16 oils
Well done Al
@21:38 haha. Rob Schneider
Al we love you ❤
