So this is when your jacks failed😂 dope video bro, tires look fire! I still think you should put that skyline grille on and have the S wrapped pink to match the livery🔥
So rewarding. 😊 it’s the little struggles 😂 those foil caps that a finger can’t poke but the trusty car key can.. the second thought of upside down under your car and thinking. Righty- tighty lefty- loosey. The oil filter being in a perfect spot to drip oil all over everything you don’t want oil on, 😂. Ahh but the reward ❤
4:53 if he blamed it on the PCV valve, or the crank ventilation case Val you need to get the thing compression tested, and that guy should never give you or anyone any advice ever again, because if there is enough pressure, coming out between your cylinders and block to create pressure inside the crank case to make turbo noises, your engine should’ve already grenade itself
Just get a bigger blowout valve and save your very expensive engine. Turbo flutter is compressor surge even if it’s happening while you have a blow off valve it means you are not flowing enough air to negate the surge of the compressor. Sorry if I comment bombed your post because the car is beautiful. I just don’t like people lying to you.
@@oler777dude no worries! It’s honestly super refreshing to see someone engaging and commenting like that! So right after I purchased it, I compression tested it (yeah I should have done it before buying). And it came back with some issues in compression. The footage of that is on a highlight on my Instagram page. Either way, I bought the car with the intent of a FULL rebuild. So I wasn’t too worried.
3:54 I DO NOT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS PLEASE ADJUST THE BLOW OFF VALVE THAT TU TU TU TU Some people, call it turbo flutter. It’s not it’s a phenomenon known as compressor surge. Every time you hear the tu tu tu air is not flowing through the blow off valve enough or properly because somebody has set it up to be extremely hard. You need to hear a clean.pushhhhhhh when the blow off valve goes off if not, you’re having air go backwards through the turbo, slowing down the range of the turbo which can damage the compressor especially the stock compressor on any Rb or SR motor I’m not being a troll other people in the comments will tell me I am wrong. I have been touring engines for over 15 years and I absolutely hate that sound unless you have a specific billet wheel turbo and are running like three psi, you should never hear the sound. If you can’t adjust the blow off valve by a bigger, one it will extend the lifetime of the turbo seals and compressors
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FwzUffAuQyc.htmlsi=CLnbkWqSz_7VAUVg this is for the people that are going to argue that it doesn’t damage the turbo if the turbo hast to slow down in speed up and slow down in speed up and slow down in speed up and slow down and speed up incredibly fast it’s eventually going to cause damage to the turbo. Please watch the two minute video. It will explain that all you need to do is adjust the screw on top of your blow off valve or buy a larger one for the necessary purpose of keeping your extremely expensive Japanese engine.
4:55 no I swear to you me and you were right I swear to God this is been the case on every turbo car I have ever worked on that dis that the problem was not recirculating or moving enough air. This is it just like go swap the block on your LS if something breaks
Man, I really hope it goes well for you because I was looking to get a GTR. I went and drove a R33 gtst… it felt the same as my 89 240sx i drove couple r32 GTRs and finally got to drive a r33 gtr well those cars were faster did way more and I had better road presence. It still felt like my 1989 240SX which could not make me justify paying the types of prices for any of these cars and that’s why I bought a base C6 Corvette very very similar to yours. To put it in comparison, the stock Corvette felt like a rear wheel drive GTR or 240 SX that somebody had added an extra $20,000 worth of work into. I hate doing this but if you bring up lap times on the Nurburgring even the base Corvette is better than the GTR R33. Good luck man. I hope it makes you happy and I hope the RB runs great careful with the transmission because it’s not a T 56.
Thanks so much for the comment dude! And big congrats on the C6! I just really was itching for the JDM again when I made the purchase. And yes the trans could use a little work as well. Something I noticed when driving the car.
DUDE!! the photos of the car on old Naples Road are still in rotation on my screensaver for my MacBook. That was so much fun with you. Thank you! 🔥🔥 keep making the videos, I love watching.
If you think the “clutch fork” is whatever you said broken or whatever, then you don’t know shit about cars. The much thicker clutch fork on a sti breaking is pretty rare. There are FAR more logical and obvious reasons for a clutch pedal that stopped returning. Like the throw out bearing lock ring? That doesn’t seem more logical to you? Being the year that it is it probably has the flimsy oem type 2 piece ring. Monolock, will prevent this failure in the future. 🤔Think about it build master flex. For the dude whose car it is, might wanna oversee the work being done if this dude is anywhere near as involved as he is portraying himself to be.
Not sure why you’re so angry. I’ve seen the rare case of the broken fork, it can happen. Never made any conclusions tho. Said “we’ll open it up and see.” Anyways, it did end up being a broken arm on the throw out, not the lock. Have a good day.
Bought a remanned head for a pontiac solstice off ebay once. They couldnt even put the cam caps back in the right spots and they had numbers from gm on them. Ebay is always a gamble.
1st time viewer, feeler gauge looks familiar, thought you might be in Fl. Then saw the license plate on the lift. Yep! Mine look like that! :-( I was surprised at the end gap requirement. Have to keep that in mind! Thanks!
This one is catted so technically it shouldn’t throw a code since the cat is before the downstream. A catless downpipe WILL always throw the code because of Cobb’s green speed update. On occasion though, even with a catted pipe, I’ve noticed it still doesn’t recognize the cat. But it’s a little more rare.
Just get a good downpipe, they all throw a code some do it in 60 miles some throw it in hundreds to thousands of miles it’s not a big deal. If I reset my ecu learning I can put 3-400 miles on it without a code, or if I’m doing a lot of rev match downshifting I can trigger the code in 40-80 miles.
