Youtube comments of (@CMAutohaus).

  1. Thank you for the kind words. I must not be that smart to still be in this dreadful trade!

  2. Throw out bearings are durable on these cars, more than likely, clutch out "whirring" noise is the transmission input shaft bearing. Would love for you guys to stop by: the premier AE86 facility on the West Coast. CM Autohaus / Battle Garage RS Fremont, CA.

  3. One time 2 people from corporate and an engineer from Japan came to talk to me about a car I worked on that got bought back. Everyone including the service manager sat in a chair in his office while I had to do a half asian squat in the corner of his office - muti-hour long meeting by the way (also dont get paid under flat rate). It was only years later did I ponder why no one in that room suggested to get me a chair - hierarchy and putting me in my place is the only thing I can think of.

  4. Its what make a Subaru...a Subaru
    76
  5. "Baffling" lol...punny
    71
  6. Thank you for the watch. Just hoping to give the public some insight into what goes on behind the scenes at the dealership
    49
  7. "fuck em let them fix their own shit!" Hellz yeah brother!
    47
  8. Unfortunaty in the Bay Area, step one is hiring a lawyer in an engine failure case with Toyota.
    35
  9. Dude I take any food anytime. I am literally stressing and burning off more calories that I am consuming for sure. I get at least 3 concerned comments a week about how skinny Ive become
    35
  10. Here is another way to put it: I have NEVER heard an advisor complaint that they had to write up a warrenty RO. (They obviously are not the ones getting screwed by manufacture warrenty)
    26
  11. Its what makes a Subaru...A Subaru!
    23
  12. You know what is terrible is that mechanic actually get rewarded for his "efficiency" in that he flags more hours than he clocks in for. Hooray automotive industry!
    23
  13. Its what makes a Subaru - a Subaru
    22
  14. Wow, surprised to see someone like you leave a comment! This video is blessed now! I keep interviewing current dealer techs (to hire for my shop) and it is my same story but worse!
    21
  15. You mean he supported Verus by being an early adopter. Supported the community by doing real track tests of this pan (and will publish the objective results). And supported a niche small business by giving us this opportunity to install and film this product.
    20
  16. Thank you for the well written and heartfelt comment. The best advice I can give you is do NOT give your life to the dealership. YOU and your family come first, your skill set and integrity as a person can get you a paycheck anywhere you desire.
    20
  17. Certain criminal offenses put you in a caste system in the US. Its a shame
    20
  18. My assitant had the same sentiments while we were filming
    17
  19. Thank you for the sincere, kind words. "automotive techs are the most disrespected people at the dealership"- this one spoke the loudest to me.
    17
  20. It was the service advisor that cussed me out in the lobby in front of customers, parts dept, the other advisors, and the receptionists. I was so in shock and humiliated that I couldnt say anything.
    16
  21. Comradery and using the lift to work on your own car were the only two perks. Even at the free company lunches I remember still being sht on by everyone else in the dealer besides the car washers.
    15
  22. Fk cars I want to be Doctor Dre.
    14
  23. You have worked 2 years. Talk to me again in 10.
    14
  24. I typically vacuum bleed, then bleed the slave last. No need to press the clutch pedal if bleeding the slave or vacuum bleeding. Yes you need to top off fluid as needed. Our shop specializes in the AE86 chassis, so I know by experience if I fill the clutch master to MAX and bleed the slave alone, it will not run dry.
    13
  25. Retaliation in the work place is real. And I have a family and an education I was paying for @fmtien 
    13
  26. Yes picked up by the OCV filters inside the cam carriers and create an oiling issue, just like we saw in the EJ25 and FB series engines
    12
  27. I think the short answer is to pull the oil pan and check yourself. I actually already have Gen2 customers asking to remove the oil pan, clean the oil strainer, and remove excess silicone as a service. Dont risk it, not that much labor time to remove and reseal the lower oil pan.
    12
  28. The best advisor at the last dealer I worked at used to be a Comcast sales man, knew nothing about cars, and came into the shop just to fart on you - hand chosen by our GM - I cant make this up
    11
  29. It's my opinion that these should have came with a Toyota engine from the start BUT the Verus pan is going to the be solution for the FA24
    11
  30. This guy messaged me this on my personal facebook first Imagine being constantly bombarded with peoples "2 cents," hateful comments, and asking for free help everyday - in my personal inboxes no less! Our shop is in the heart of the Bay Area - meaning one of the highest cost of living areas in the country. While I am running a service based business in a historically extremely competitive and low profit field (ps I do it for the culture and my community) So here I am on a Saturday (shop is supposed to be closed), after finishing a customer car because I cannot keep up with expenses and payroll, writing out this YouTube comment hoping I'll feel better after writing this out. TLDR: Its comments like these in my personal inbox that make me want to close up shop and get a regular paycheck job
    11
  31. Thank you for the kind words. I'll be 34 this year. Started my automotive education at 15 and apprenticeship at 18.
    11
  32. Boosie badazz? I take that as a compliment. Now wipe me down
    11
  33. WHP is different than crank horsepower. You can have up to a 40hp drivetrain loss depending on the vehicle
    11
  34. Lol. Yes my thoughts exactly. I guess even the robots at the factory are also "flat rate" techs now.
    11
  35. Its costs the manufacture more to make a gasket
    10
  36. Yeah I was surprise to see them be this "reliable" as a first model year...until now.
    10
  37. Owning a independant shop now, I purposely reduce the scope of cars we work on as the tool commitment would be way to expensive. I already have $1000 tools that I only need to use once every couple yaers
    10
  38. I think the bigger problem is how Toyota USA is poorly handling the issue. I have personal conversations with GR86 owners who now want to sell their car and have open cases with Toyota USA, and they have been told by reps that yeah "you should sell your car if you feel that way"
    10
  39. Bingo. And thank you for the watch!
    10
  40. No
    10
  41. 100%
    10
  42. We are in Japan supporting a customer. We built an AE86 that a customer shipped to Japan and is currently displaying at Tokyo Auto Salon
    10
  43. Check the coolant over flow when cold. Should be at FULL level
    9
  44. Put yourself first. If you give away all your bricks, in the end, how are you able to build up yourself? Find another way to give back without killing yourself. These are cars and we are not the fken Dahli Lama
    9
  45. Maybe here is the disconnect. The DEALERSHIP is making $250/hr, the actual technican may only be making $17/hr on a vehicle under warrenty (half his wage or less). At that wage, it is a smarter idea to work at In-n-out burger. This is an issue of how techicans get paid. I didnt spend 20 years in the field, 100k on tools, and 10,000 hours of education to get paid the same as a fast food employee.  @steve8803 
    9
  46. New cars are built with cost cutting in mind and a predetermined obsolescence - so people can go buy a new car sooner. Its a shame because unless you buy something really rare/expensive, you get cost cutting and QC issues with something high volume like the FA24
    9
  47. Thank you for the kind words. I'll put in a note for myself to make a track day prep video.
    9
  48. Yes they have a TRD baffled pan, similar to the SYMS baffle. The TRD baffle doesnt work and GR86 Cup cars have had mutiple engine blows already
    9
  49. Thank you for the kind words. Im sure 900BRZ will agree, we are just trying to find solutions for our community
    9
  50. Thank you for the kind words and the watch
    8
  51. Thank you for the kind words. In my experience, it seems like the Kouki 1st gens dont have this issue and the RTV issue with the Zenki cars was caused by technicians - not the factory
    8
  52. Many techs locally have gone into completely different trades (but with complimentary skill sets) or work in tech
    8
  53. My personal ideal solution is a bigger, baffled oil pan. Accusump seems like a ridiculously HUGE investment for a casual track toy (hardware wise)
    8
  54. Thanks for the watch and support
    8
  55. I saw this TikTok with the subtitle "When you find the timing belts behind the junior tech's tool box" and I thought "Wow things have gotten exponentially bad since Ive left the dealer"
    8
  56. We are there already. Dealerships literally cannot fix their own cars and cannot keep trained techicians aboard.
    8
  57. "OSHA does not screw around" belongs on a hat and a T-Shirt
    8
  58. Look forward to meeting you! I bring my dog everyday
    8
  59. Sales department, Service manager, service advisors all have treated technicians like trash in my experience DESPITE most techs Ive worked with being the highest educated and most professional in the dealership.
    8
  60. Have you seen the new Tundra 3.5L recall. Ridiculous!
    8
  61. Thank you for the kind words. Many other trades are willing to hire and train people from scratch due to how bad the skilled labor shortage is. My best advice to you is to get into another trade - stay away from automotive.
    8
  62.  @07wrxtr1  GR86 is a Toyota product lol. Toyota also owns a large stake in Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru).
    8
  63. Not sure if this is true. During my time at the dealer, FA20s and the H6's historically did not have this is issue from the factory. This includes the older EZ3.0 H6 Something in the manufacturing of the FA24 may the be issue...
    7
  64. Great advice!
    7
  65. German cars don't have these problems with RTV. Its growing pains for Subaru.
    7
  66. The weld bead visually makes clearnance look tighter than it actually is - production version should be a 1 pc pan Laser etching adds an addtional cost and an additional manufacturing process - I get why they didnt do it.
    7
  67. I worked at a Benz dealer during the great 08 recession and even as an apprectice getting paid hourly, I saw have recall/warranty time really hurt technicians under the flat rate system
    7
  68. Good thing you bought a Subaru. We've had multiple people had to hire laywers for GR86 engine failures locally - the "diagnosis" from Toyota is always "abuse" or "low oil level"
    7
  69. Its sad that even customers have to play the right "game" in order to get their vehicle serviced properly at the dealership
    7
  70. Bingo!
    7
  71. Thank you for the watch. I look forward to meeting!
    7
  72. We are offering Bay Area customers a FREE borescope and oil filter inspection with purchase of an oil change for a limited time.
    7
  73. RTV getting past the strainer can still clog internal oil passages and the OCV filters inside the cam carriers which can create an oiling issue, just like we saw in the EJ25 and FB series engines.
    7
  74. Yes you can just use a bottle. I went on a deep dive and found DSM have a TON of info on clutches/the hydraulic system
    7
  75. @Arun kumar  I used to have a Gen1 I ran in time attack (86Drive Challenge). Very first things I did: Reseal oil pan/check oil pick up, Bluemoon oil pan baffle, Jackson oil cooler kit, ARP wheel studs
    7
  76. Yes Ive had a few Honda Dealer techs tell me Honda Master Cert no longer requires ASEs so Honda dealers dont require them. Imagine that. Honda USA no longer requires a nationally recognized certification for automotive technicians.
    7
  77. Wire wheel will spray old RTV all up inside the crankcase. Most FSMs actually state to use a plastic razor blade
    7
  78. And get rewarded lavishly from management for being the highest producer of course.
    7
  79. Check your oil and coolant levels between oil changes - full at all times. You can never change oil too early or too often. Oil filter inspections and black stone oil analysis seem to be most effective. Despite being a modern car I tell customers you need to treat Subaru's like an "old school" car as they have their own quirks and required maintance
    7
  80. Glad you find this useful! I am also a lonely mechanic and seldom have help!
    7
  81. Like when spongebob left and the jellyfish were having a rave in his house. I know - one can only dream...
    6
  82. "You’ll find better compensation stocking shelves" I know contract workers working in tech that basically make photocopies all day - make an eye watering amount of money...why am I a tech again?....lol
    6
  83. Only lubricated when new. You could tell there was no lube used from the previous shop's clutch job and the customer litterally got shafted with no lube.
    6
  84. Absolutly not. There should be next to ZERO metal in the oil filter for these engine on the first oil change
    6
  85. Check both sides of the dipstick, lowest reading is the correct one. If you just ran the car, wait 30mins to check the reading - first start after an oil change, the reading is always incorrect - approx 1/2 qt low
    6
  86. Appreciate the kind words! But this is definitely not a hobby for me: the automotive world is my life and my lifes work has been constant improvement as an automotive technician. To give you my background in a nut shell, I gave up my government job with a guaranteed 30 yr retirement in order to pursue my dreams.
    6
  87. You will still have excess RTV blocking at least some of the oil pick up - the longer term effects are still unknown. Although removing the oil pan to clean the strainer should be a one time job and will at least give you piece of mind.
    6
  88. Thanks for the watch. Great suggestion!
    6
  89.  @lard1892  To compensate for many factors including flywheel step height, you may need to adjust the clutch master rod length or shim the pivot ball https://youtu.be/vYJxQyjIhUw
    6
  90.  @aygwm  Common practice to change oil every 2 -3 track days. In the owners guide for the STi it even recommend changing oil before and after ever driving event.
    6
  91. I saw that same article. Toyota is probably sick of this rubbish Subaru engine already.
    6
  92. I've still made the hardheaded mistake of staying the industry (running an auto shop). Haha hope I learn before its too late!
    6
  93. For the lower oil pan yes. Everywhere else is a machined surfaced designed to be sealed with RTV
    6
  94. We hope so!
    6
  95. Best advice is to get a BRZ. At least locally, Toyota appears to not be honoring the engine warranty. Subaru on the other hand has historically been very gracious in warranty work.
    6
  96. Carrier bearings? Sure, next customer diff I get I can make a video. But in a nut shell, I do the FSM recommended preload set up then calculate CBPL by subtracting pinon preload from total preload. I then turn the adjuster opposite the ring gear to add in more CBPL. If you are confused by now, thats why I charge so much to build diffs haha
    6
  97. Hahahaha. Thank you for the kind words. Glad this helped!
    6
  98. Ease of manufacturing. Same with the driver airbag - used to be screwed in with bolts, now there are spring clips - one step assebmly for the robot, but PITA to service/remove
    6
  99. "the factory is assembling these engines in such a sloppy manner" I get so many nasty comments directed towards me about my findings on the RTV issue. I feel like your comment sums up the situation very well. Thank for the support and taking the time to leave that well thought out comment.
    6
  100. In my experience it is too big of an ask for a regular employee to go above your manager and to the GM; if your direct manager tells you to piss off and get back to work, why would the GM listen to me?
    6
  101. Absolutely worth it. Jackson racing Gen2 oil cooler kit is also out now
    6
  102. The dealer wont do anything unless there is a "problem" like CEL, engine noise, or low oil pressure - so not a warrenty issue. Thats why we've been proactively dropping pans and cleaning pick ups here.
    6
  103. LOL I bought and installed a longblock into 900BRZ's car. You should have gotten everything in writing and on an RO otherwise their words are worthless @diiaa366 
    6
  104. Its never too late. Change it asap
    5
  105. .2 qt over or under really shouldnt hurt anything
    5
  106.  @isaacmagana7078  Its actually Toyota, historcally, Subaru has been more than leinant towards customers. 2013 Valve spring recall was the same story with Toyota
    5
  107.  @Mr_jz_12  Agreed. You had to manually sift through the TSBs or tech tip news letters to find them.
    5
  108. Lol glad you got a chuckle out of it!
    5
  109. They are indeed a new design synchro and will replace to of the old ones. The gear cones are only a certain size so see what gears they fit. Just ball park memory, they should be for 2nd and 3rd
    5
  110. Thanks for the kind words. We do our best!
    5
  111.  @Natethegreat.96  I think the short answer is get a BRZ, because Toyota USA is NOT going to help you with a warranty claim.
    5
  112.  @johnybigarms  One arguement I've heard is that its a tough call when all the Toyota adverts for the GR86 show it drifting and driving on track.
    5
  113. I had to google Lord Quas
    5
  114. Thanks for the support!
    5
  115. Someone else argued the strainer should be placed at the bottom of the pick up where debris can still fall down rather than at the top where it currently is and debris gets stuck.
    5
  116. Some people work, others are on YouTube/Phone. Look at who is standing around chatting or goofing off on the computer/phone at the dealer - probably not the technicians.
    5
  117. Only the exhaust
    5
  118. Just for some context, I PAID to have the audio remastered by a pro as I personally felt both the community and Taka deserved better.
    5
  119. Haha life was much easier when I was running "Autohaus" out of my home garage.
    5
  120. Why work so hard lining another persons pockets, making their dreams come true at the expense of your own. Agreed.
    5
  121.  @Ccortanaa  Factory has made improvements to the engine assembly process since late 2023. Hopefully things get better for MFD 2024 cars
    5
  122. Just like the dealership, the faster you can get the car out, the more money you make. Who cares if the job is done right or not!
    5
  123. That family owns like 10 enthusiast Toyota. And this is like his 5th 1st gen Celica. I trust its in good hands
    5
  124. Could* void the warrenty. Subaru of America will warrenty, buy back, and good will ANYTHING if you fight hard enough. Saw it for myself MANY times as a dealer tech
    5
  125. Disappointing to say the least
    5
  126. Haha maybe... Toyota of Japan's official stance is that the excess RTV/oil strainer debacle is a "non issue"
    5
  127. In his personal Diary. Im not joking. He says he wants to do more YouTube for BG, so he may or may not release specs there.
    5
  128. I recommend customers drive at least 1,000 miles first (I've had customers request the service right off the dealer lot). Ideally we'd do the oil strainer cleaning on the second oil change. I've done two oil strainer cleanings on the same car with about 8 track days between cleanings and we only found 1 black string of RTV Its still too early for these cars, but I'd like to recheck another car after 1 year.
    5
  129. Check the application list in the description, this kit should fit many Impreza/WRX. STi use a pull style TOB that historically has not has issues. Ive done a few S-chassis clutches at the shop. The "open face" TOBs still have a rubber seal at the open part. The factory FRS TOB is completely open to the worlds filth
    5
  130. Car in the video is a customer car. I recall he used to grind/ have notchy shifting and some cold weather shifting issues which redline solved.
    5
  131.  @svang1991  A lot of customers bring up how hard Toyota pushed BMW to improve the quality of the A90, yet for the FA24 it was more or less "Send it bro"
    5
  132. Yes. First oil change at 7500 miles is horrifying.
    5
  133. Looks like they just got this running and tuned recently. You can see updates on their IG
    5
  134. Star apprentice during my time at the dealership for sure. "C" student during auto college
    5
  135. Oil pressure is only part of the story -You can run 1-2qts TOTAL of oil in many Subaru engines and it will build adequate pressure (oil pressure light will never illuminate) -RTV can still make it past the strainer and block internal oil passages and the interval cam carrier filters -No one has tested loss of oil volume from a blocked strainer -Many have suggested the strong possibility of oil cavitation due to RTV blocking the pick up. -Engines should NOT be sealed with an excess amount of RTV greater than specified, this is a factory assembly issue
    5
  136. Its even tougher in the US auto industry where dealer technicians are literally getting paid half of their normal wage on warranty jobs Like why even try to do a good job when you are getting half your normal wage. Why not just pretend you cant duplicate the customer concern and more on to the next repair ticket.
    5
  137. Make a weekend trip out of it! Visit Laguna Seca!
    5
  138. "pretty limited car and all these people are seeing this problem" Bingo. You should link our RTV Clean up playlist to the dealer https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWD_nkVFKkaPRHm0rUOf26ZGqDmHHKnwX
    5
  139. Ive worked PLENTY of 8 hours days only to LEGALLY make less than $20 for the day. You are preaching to the choir.
    5
  140. For favoritism Id go in this order: 1. Kiss A$$, 2. Bribes, 3. Race
    5
  141. Who knows? But I'm not optimistic. Subaru/Toyota historically have liked to keep these issues "hush hush"
    5
  142. Thank you for the well written comment. Glad you got out of the industry and are thriving.
    5
  143. Thanks! You as well!
    5
  144. The upcomming Verus oil pan may be the answer. Oil strainer cleanig at the same time when installing the oil pan.

  145. Bingo

  147.  @shazwanizhar8628  Yes. One man job to bleed the slave
    4
  148.  @shazwanizhar8628  Still need to. You bleed the slave as the last step
    4
  149.  @NightKidBrandon  I'd keep the engine oil and coolant at the full level at all times.
    4
  150.  @NightKidBrandon  I recommend it for all enthusiast vehicles. We've done the 1,000 break in fluid services to the new WRX and GR Corolla and the fluids/filters always have lots of break in material.
    4
  151. Its up to the Toyota dealer's discression: We've had engine failures locally from canyon drivers - engine failures locally have all been blanketed deemed as "abuse"
    4
  152. Because dealership technicians are paid on the "flat rate" system this unfortunately means instructions are ignored and you are rewarded for cutting corners.
    4
  153.  @olympiabmx  Thanks for the kind words. Defnitly many LONG hours of work, help from many friends, and buckets of money to get up to this point
    4
  154. The pole jack under the pumpkin is to simulate ride height. Normal ride height and full droop panhard positions will depend on how much drop your current suspension has. This is on a customer car. T3 Panhard, Annex Coilovers, Breeze Fab 4 links

  157. Most indy shops pay hourly. Some have a bonus incentive based on production. Despite being a small shop, I pay my own techs well and hourly - I pay for their track/autocross/drift days, PPE, uniforms, some tools, regularly buying lunches for the team. I respect my techs (because I still am one and I know how hard it is), also good techs are increasingly impossible to find (they have options and dont NEED to work on cars for a living) Hourly plus flat rate bonus has been discussed as a more fair alternative for dealerships - not confident that this is the "end all" solution
    4
  158. Very well put. I plan to make a future video on it, but my friend who works for Toyota Corporate Japan "allegedly" states Toyota thinks this is a non-issue and will do nothing about it...
    4
  159. Newest one Ive done is I believe 10/23 MFD
    4
  160. They are great cars. If you really want one, get a Subaru because they will actually honor an engine warranty OR wait a few years and see if Toyota will actual put in their 3cyl turbo.
    4
  161. https://youtu.be/43BQEbKQhBI We recommend a repair (or not) based on our findings during this test. If you are still pulling RTV out of your old oil on the 2nd or 3rd oil change, you probably have an issue.
    4
  162. Thanks for the kind words!
    4
  163. Annex is doing their best! The popularity of the AE86 kit along with the evils of Covid has really put a strangle of production.
    4
  164. 11am-12am is my usually work day.
    4
  165. Yes. I repeatedly get asked to do a tear down/assembly of a T50 so I will find time to make a video. I appreciate the support! Doing my best!
    4
  166. I'd go for a BRZ. It seems Toyota will not honor warranty on these engines at all.
    4
  167. Subaru doesnt really car about their technicians in my experience. My contacts who were so nice to me as tech, dont answer my emails now.
    4
  168. Finding RTV in the oil that is drained out has been the biggest predictor for us if there is excess RTV stuck in the oil strainer
    4
  169. Good point. Thanks!
    4
  170. Stock ECU and daily driven. No need to change anything else/

  171. My hero deserved better audio that. I always felt terrible about this video. Thanks for the support!

  172. Across most trades in fact: I have customers in landscaping, water heating, ect... all cant find anyone half decent people to hire.
    4
  173. Noted and will do! Apologies for the sound!

  174. Excellent question! The answer is NO. In the video below this customer had an aftermarket oil pressure gauge and logged the data. No pressure issues despite an 80% clogged top oil pick up screen. The key is oil pressure and oil volume are independent - you can have low volume, but good pressure. https://youtu.be/5wcbBC2ED_U
    4
  175. Its what makes a Subaru... a Subaru!
    4
  176. Thanks for the support and working with us Brian!
    4
  177. You should contact SYMS and find out
    4
  178. Only after how many years lol
    4
  179. Their EJ products are fantastic. I am no so sure about their fa20/24 offerings
    4
  180. YEAH MY MAN FOR SURE. TRUCK BROS, BRO! CURT 13323 Class 3 Trailer Hitch CURT 55513 Vehicle-Side Custom 4-Pin Trailer Wiring Harness
    4
  181. Thank you! Yes, clean examples getting rarer by the day.
    4
  182. Customer probably paid 3x the original cost of the oil cooler install by having us redo and fix the previous shop's shoddy workmanship.
    4
  183. A complacent robot lol
    4
  184. Agreed. RTV could definitely get trapped in other parts of the engine
    4
  185. Not yet, but guarenteed soon. We are starting to see 1/24 manufacter date cars in the shop
    4
  186. I based this video off what The Car Wizard is making. It is almost impossible with the pace of our shop to film during actual working hours
    4
  187. Make sure to set the tool gauge back to zero when doing the test!! My Mistake!
    4
  188. There have been lawsuits for oil consumption also for Subaru chain engines in the past.
    4
  189. 40k come get it.
    4
  190. Fighting!
    4
  191. Religiously follow the service intervals, dont buy a turbo model, check your oil and coolant levels monthly.
    4
  192. Hey man thank you for the kind words and gldad you are finding the content useful!
    4
  193.  @Bones12x2  100% Im sure the "right to repair" law also has something to do with this
    4
  194. Correct. Unless there is a class action lawsuit (like with the FB engines), dont expect anything to happen from Subaru/Toyota  @P3RV-3 
    4
  195. Thanks for bring this up. I had previously given up on this project, but our sister company has a design intern now so I'll dig up my notes and see if he want to take this on. Two keys on FRS clutch installs are cleanliness and using the proper grease: old clutch dust and crap will shorten the life of a t-out bearing fast. I've had to use an uprated Amsoil grease as I've found regular greases dont survive in that environment.
    4
  196. Definitely not a niteparts as you have to sent your bellhousing to them to shave down some on the face. This adapter also looks very homebrew by how its cut. I've done a handful of Silvia 6th swaps so far and none have really been that tight, although on each one, Ive heated up the gear before pressing.
    4
  197. But paying for it now.
    4
  198. Thanks for the watch! The more data we can collect, the better off we are as a whole
    4
  199. For that guy yes. But how many other will have to fight for their warrenty claims
    4
  200. Correct. I was a Subaru dealer tech for many years. Subaru has historically been very forgiving on warranty issues.
    4
  201. Possibly soon! I have a customer 71c being shipped to the shop as we speak.
    4
  202. 1. There is NOT a way to fix this issue without having to keep dropping the oil pan to check. We need to see long term if RTV will continue to accumulate in the oil pick up after an initial cleaning. 2. This issue would NOT stop me from buying the car. I think the car drives and feels greats. It just had the excessive RTV quirk, so if I personally owned one, I drop the oil pan every 10k miles.
    4
  203. I can pull 5 items out of my tool box and be more than $6000. If you have been a tech for a long time, you have $100k + in tools, not including your tool box or scan tools.
    4
  204. Definity not my experience with the 3 dealers I worked at unfortunatly
    4
  205. MIG welded. The Breeze mount overlaps right on top of the chassis so there is no gap between the two where the coilover is bolted if that answers your question.
    4
  206. Tough call. I am struggling like to hell to scale up my shop. Finding skilled/reliable labor is a major pain point for all trades at this point.
    4
  207. Nothing automotive. I'd recommend HVAC, plumbing, or electrical. Look around locally for a trade school or community college. Just food for thought, 2 of the weathiest people I know are just "plumbers" including my friend and customer @rikosway who just shipped his cars to Japan for this past Tokyo Auto Salon @albetherechillin 
    4
  208. The latest update I have is that for NEW 2023's on the break in oil change, we are seeing large amounts of RTV being drained out with the engine oil, but much less stuck in the oil strainer.
    4
  209. Thanks for the watch and thoughtful comment. Agreed!
    4
  210. LOL
    4
  211. Agreed! But I l LOVE that YouTube ad rev. No cap.
    4
  212. You can ask Verus. I believe their video says early next year for the production verision
    4
  213. Its all about getting a volunteer first. Im still struggling with costs of business so unfortunately I cannot do any discounts even for a video
    4
  214. Lol. Many things like this "Make a Subaru...a Subaru"
    4
  215. Lol rotary more reliable than the FA24? Who knows at this point!
    4
  216. Wow I hope you have pictures and documentation. Did they install a short block or long block?
    4
  217. My Video on how to deal with warranty claims https://youtu.be/L295NqXhPvs @diiaa366 
    4
  218. I'd still buy one of these. New owners just need to know the "quirks" of a Subaru product
    4
  219. That noise is typically worn input bearing/input shaft gears unfortunately.
    4
  220. This is going to be a Subaru issue as the engines are manufactued by them. Toyota of Japan unfortunatly claims this is a "non issue"
    4
  221. Thank you for the kind words and the watch!
    4
  222. Yes we have had at least 2 locals have engine failure on the mountain roads.
    4
  223.  @RylisPro  I recommend droping the after after 1000 miles
    4
  224. Agreed its the long term implications that concern me - track guys locally are still running with up to 60psi oil pressure drops on corners - what does that mean for the engine in the long run? How many oil pressure drop cycles before damage happens?
    4
  225. Much appreciated! I have trouble with women IRL, so anime girls have been my fall back.
    4
  226. https://www.z1enterprises.com/engine-parts/shims/25mm-shims.html 25mm shims. I measured, then ordered what I needed. More cost effective than buying a shim kit (may have a bunch of shims you dont need)
    4
  227. SYMS kit still does not solve the "right turn" oil pressure drop, but it has proven to be the best baffle kit so far. I would be curious about combining the Killer B and SYMS oiling mods.
    4
  228.  @NightKidBrandon  Leave it. That is correct. One side will ready super high, and the other side is the correct reading. A tad over the dot will NOT hurt anything
    4
  229. For some reason its tough for dealers to market that they have the best service dept in the region and usually online reviews are for the sales dept.
    4
  230. It is a good idea to pre fill the oil cooler before connecting the hoses (especially on bigger cores), although the Jackson kit in this video does not state it in the instructions. Air bubbles in oil lines usually do not present problems as long as the oil cooler core is mounted correctly - many manufactures do not want the core mounted "upside down" as air could potentially get trapped at the top. Also I've seen instructions where the feed line is placed to the bottom to push any trapped air up and out of the core. Thanks for the watch!
    4
  231. That was an excellent anaology.
    4
  232. Glad you found this useful! I decided to film this at the last minute since I was personally so shocked at the fluid condition despite the "low miles"
    3
  233. We've done a few. If the car is just a daily driver, one oil strainer cleaning should be good for the life of the engine.
    3
  234. Thank you for the sincere comment. I have a customer who works in a similar government field, similar story from him.
    3
  235. Ideally heater should be "on" or "open" when vacuuming. Not sure about the thermostat, but with 90% of vehicles I have not had issues. BUT some vehicles I have confirmed this does not work on are: Some midships including AW11 and SW20 MR2 and Honda S2000
    3
  236.  @FD-dh2fu  Thermostat should have a jiggle valve to allow coolant past. You need to open the heater valve when doing this.
    3
  237. Catch cans are a good idea. Im not sure if the Fujimoto quick drain valve will allow any/all solid material to exit the oil pan - not a concern on a "normal" car, but a factor in an engine full of excess rtv
    3
  238. I'd actually argue that Im a dumbass for staying in this trade for so long despite knowing its pit falls. Thanks for the watch! Enjoy the Superb Owl today!
    3
  239. Much appreciated! Doing me best to push for content!
    3
  240. Writing was on the wall at my last dealership job circa 2014, I watched a brand new service advisor (the former Comcast sales man, with no auto background) buy a brand new STR8 charger his first year. Same era I was taking night class to finish my bachelors and doing on-going dealer training. The same guy who knew nothing about cars, would come into the shop just to play practicals jokes - even once coming in to fart on me while I was working on a "heat" customer warranty RO. When I saw his new charger I said "F*ck this."
    3
  241. Much appreciated! Big risk, but also BIG reward. My dog loves the car as well.
    3
  242. It does seem like Subaru of America is far more willing to help than Toyota is.
    3
  243. I think every "cool" car is expensive now. Toyota trucks have also historically never lost their value.
    3
  244. Likewise man! Glad to be able to meet in person and hang out!
    3
  245. First time
    3
  246. Our local Skyline group agrees R33 GTST is the best bang for your buck for Skylines. ECR33 FTW! Look forward to more content!
    3
  247. Best bet is replace the short block or long block. You have to disassemble the engine to change the big end bearings
    3
  248. I mean track car should be running 5w30 weight oil. 0w40 is an alternative
    3
  249. Service manual is straight forward. I do not have a readily available PN sorry.
    3
  250. The more GRC's we service at the shop, the more I fall in love. The G16 feels and sounds fantastic!
    3
  251. If you look on Reddit, the answer is YES
    3
  252.  @matthewbussy  Hey honest dollar for dollar horsepower stroker is a poor choice. IMO stroker is for those trying to extract the last bit of power like the MRP 1.9L car. By far, engine swap and forced induction are better dollar for dollar power gain options
    3
  253. Join a local group based on your vehicle (ie "San Fransisco F150 owners group" In person is better). Usually easier for enthusiast cars. Your local community will weed out bad shops fast.
    3
  254. More to come!
    3
  255. Subaru has been over apply RTV since they started switching to chain engines circa 2011 - the problem has just gotten worse. There is no "fix" to the excess RTV issue. My suggestion to customers is to keep up on regular scheduled maintenance (even more aggressive for severe use cars). We've found one oil strainer cleaning should be good for the life of the engine on a regular daily driver.
    3
  256. Calling Mahle, FelPro, ect...
    3
  257. Very good tip! I will start doing the same!
    3
  258. Glad you found this useful! Yes 0% is ideal, but even with 0% on the gauge you will still hear air come out the oil filler as "true" 0% is impossible.
    3
  259. Im not sure at this point honestly. I am just a foolish person and want to enjoy the sound of sidedrafts. I also enjoy learning the process and the journey.
    3
  260. Buy a used trans off ebay of LKQ. These are cheap and plentiful.
    3
  261. Glad things worked out for you! Most customers dont understand that they need to play "the game."
    3
  262. No Regerts! JK. I 1000% agree and I say it all the time. "Simple is reliable"
    3
  263. I'd take a few extra oil changes over engine damage any day! Unfortunately not everyone thinks like this
    3
  264.  @mxney8867  Thank you for the kind words. Best words of advice I can give you is that chasing your dreams means sacrifice, frustration, and exhaustion everyday. But by that same token, I also live my life on my terms EVERY DAMN DAY!
    3
  265. 5w30
    3
  266. There was a class action lawsuit for oil consumption in the FA20. I dont think anything came of it.
    3
  267. Who can even keep up on the trends anymore. I've never thought underglow would ever been cool again, yet here we are.
    3
  268. Just added. Thank you! https://baer.com/Push-Rod-Length-guage-6801279.html
    3
  269. On a stock, healthy 4AGE we run Amsoil signature series 10w30 (factory recommended weight). On a "built" engine I would consult the engine builder
    3
  270. Since the car was released in 2022
    3
  271. 1000% agree
    3
  272. Thanks so much for the support! More thanks to Riko for agreeing to do this and setting this up. And thanks to my videographer for convincing me to bring all my media gear.
    3
  273. Yes oem is too small. You can completely remove them or get the Pp units
    3
  274. Ti exhausts always have a unique tone, pops, and crackles!
    3
  275. Between 4-5qts with oil and filter change.
    3
  276. To each his own. I despise these strange times, but love the strange cars!
    3
  277. Alex has been a supporter and friend for a while now, we live pretty far apart so its tough to collab, but I knew I had to nab him for a video when I saw him at 86day
    3
  278.  @_melancho1y  No less prone. 2022 and 2023 models it has all been hit and miss as far as the amount of excess rtv in the oil strainer
    3
  279.  @sw20kosh  I personally know of two other cases locally - advised both unfortunatly that they'd have to lawyer up. Both are cars are not used for the track.
    3
  280. Many other external problems including that there are only TWO people in the US actively building these transmissions, 90% of AE86 are not willing to pay the labor for a rebuild, finding a decent builder core is getting tougher as these cars age, and much more. Both completely understandable and why I highly advocate for transmission swaps.
    3
  281. MRP definitely does amazing things and makes amazing product!
    3
  282. If you want a gen2 get the Subaru variant as they actually honor the engine warrenty
    3
  283. You can go to a Subaru specialty independent shop and have them do a borescope inspection to see how well the job was done
    3
  284. Thanks for the watch and well written comment Laurence. I see this phenomenon with USDM cars as well: the IS300 has become very popular with the youth locally, but all of them have had maintenance severely deferred in the past and now owners are paying BIG time to undo 10 years of deferred maintenance and shady tree/inexperienced mechanics. The Toyota MRS and Nissan S-Chassis are also great examples of this. S-Chassis cars are darn near a status symbol for kiddos these days.
    3
  285. 1st year models from any car company will always have issues.
    3
  286. Hasselgren anything cant be cheap!
    3
  287. Someone with a fluid dynamics background can chime in, but our local time attack series 86DC are concerned about oil cavatation from having to pass through and around the RTV blocking the top screen, Also with how bad oil starvation is on these engines on cornering, you really need all the pick up surface area you can get.
    3
  288. Yes
    3
  289. So many chances for commentary that would get me in trouble with HR.
    3
  290. Unfortunately, most in the Bay Area have had to hire a lawyer in engine failure warranty cases.
    3
  291. Conditioner is for the older green coolant only. I remember the TSBs on this
    3
  292. Thank you for the kind words!
    3
  293. Yes. Felpro has a gasket for the FA20 (same pattern as FA24), but it is discontinued.
    3
  294. DIY?
    3
  295. Thank you for the kind words and the watch!
    3
  296. Thanks for the kind words!
    3
  297. I'd look at the Nissan EPC. For sure a spring goes in there, but not sure if a check ball as well. Parts should be available from the dealer.
    3
  298. Car will rev faster and more freely
    3
  299. NLGI #2. Product Code: GPOR2CR-EA
    3
  300.  @juangraniello7626  Im pretty sure its an OBX header. Last I heard Grant said the runners are too big on it and a Martelius XL would suit the engine better. Although he also says the Martelius HO catback on the car is too small for the engine.
    3
  301. I say this so often these days. Cars like the old Toyota Landcruiser, literally were designed with components made to last a minimum of 10 years. Cars today are literally Amazon Primed into existence.
    3
  302. The exact LSD in the video (Cusco) would be perfect. Made virtually no noise even on break in. I have a customer Kaaz at the shop RN that groans haha
    3
  303. At least "They Lived"
    3
  304. I can remember last time I had that much fun! Lots of BIG Bay Area names and OGs came out as well.
    3
  305. After doing a handful of canyon runs and a track day, I actually think they are undersized. I'm sure on a street car they are fine, but for serious use, I'd step up to a bigger front BBK
    3
  306. Thank you for the kind words! The RTV issue is more more track/canyon people, but the overarching issue is how Toyota has been dealing with GR86 warrenty cases.
    3
  307. Thanks Casey! Yes multiple people have already suggested I do "build bio" type videos and have the car on the lift and do a review from my perspective.
    3
  308. Dont be. They are wonderful cars, I want one myself. But the key is regular preventative maintenance and measures like borescope and oil filter inspections
    3
  309. I cant make this up lol
    3
  310. This project is moving at a snails pace, but I am still determined not only to get this on my own car, but to bring this as a kit to market
    3
  311. Much appreciated! Doing my best for you guys!
    3
  312. 3 of my competitors closed shop last year. I dont think the public realizes that in 3 - 5 years there will be no where decent to get your car serviced.
    3
  313. These vids plus our "exposing the automotive industry vids" Send help lol
    3
  314. TL70 6th is same ratio as s15 AZ6 6th. Taller than T50 5th, J160 6th, but not as tall as MFactory 5th. Ratios are much closer.
    3
  315. The tech at Meineke is probably making minimum wage or a hair more. Id guess $18/hr
    3
  316. 1. Ends this thing had an aftermarket drain plug adapter. There should be a torque spec in the FSM. 2. You can match up the ID of any copper or alum crush washer. Doesnt have to be Nissan specific. 3. I like to pre fill my oil filters, but you cant on these car without making a mess as the oil filter slightly faces down. Oil filter tightness will vary depending on the oil filter manufacture, some boxes even have instructions.
    3
  317. Every 1st friday of the month
    3
  318. Make an esty for those gauge mounts!
    3
  319. Ah yes Ive heard the oil temp issue is exacerbated when going FI. And yes I've heard some FI owners saying the stock cooling system needed to be uprated. Lots of guys run hood vents partially for this issue.
    3
  320. Thank you for the support! I just did another oil pan drop yesterday and found another "surprise" in the strainer. Look forwards to it!
    3
  321. You are a better man than I. How many times have I wanted to exclaim "Did you google it?"
    3
  322. It was entirly cost related unfortunatly. During my time at Subaru we saw plenty of cost cutting throughout the chassis
    3
  323.  @saulespino2510  Ive never owned a "Subaru." I used to own a Series 1.0 FRS which I used to compete in time attack. Right now my fleet consistes of: 2015 Tacoma Xrunner, 1994 R33 Skyline, 1985 AE86
    3
  324. Thanks for the watch!
    3
  325. Of course as you and Pete know, "the internets" are always right.
    3
  326. Its all about the profit. Employees are expendable and customers are dollar signs
    3
  327. yes
    3
  328. Much appreciated! This kit would most benefit someone without an A/C system, BUT for someone with an A/C system, parts are cheaper and more reliable, will outperform an oem system in heating and cooler, and will be less parasitic drag on the engine when the a/c is on.
    3
  329. Yup currenttly in Japan. Even on vacation, I get up early everyday to get work done.
    3
  330. Are you the same one who suggested we send Dirt Fish racing school dog poop? I have a feeling no matter what evidence we provide, you are going to fight us every step of the way.  @peterparker3668 
    3
  331. When I got my first start in 2008 the bar was still high - probably put in 40 dealership apps - had to start out as the "jack of all trades" for my first dealership (car wash, janitor, tire tech, loaner cars, I did it all) before I could be in the shop full time. But apparently in 2024 if you can wash cars, you are a Certified Automotive Technician
    3
  332. At least locally, Subaru dealers see so few of these for service and Toyota dealers are all feigning ignorance.
    3
  333. Cost savings. No need for extra tooling or part numbers for gaskets
    3
  334. Ive probably done equally as many transmission on my back as on a lift. I know the struggle!
    3
  335. As with many an old ass JDM car lol. But, knock on wood, the car has been great after many many many hours of maintance.
    3
  336. I have no idea how he got it covered 3 times. I even filed a case to our Tech Line about his car being so modified. Yes usually we try to decline warranty/good will as hard as we can
    3
  337. Agreed. Poor judgement call in the heat of the moment on my part. Thank you for the well written rebuttal.
    3
  338. At least you can see the complexity that goes into these ahaha
    3
  339. You have to remember at one point, Skylines were throw away cars in Japan, so it was cheap to bandaid or "mickey mouse" a car than to fix it right (since fixing it right was more expensive than the car itself). Fast forward to today and that why we see all these mickey mouse'd era cars at auction.
    3
  340. RTV in the pick up has already caused problems. We've seen up to ~40psi intermittent loss of pressure on track, which the warning light will not pick up. The Subaru oil pressure warning light is next to useless by the way: it wont activate even if there is only 1qt of oil in the engine. And to my knowledge, it will not shut the engine off during low pressure like other manufacturers.
    3
  341. I dont have plate frames for sale sorry. And Im not sure is full recirc is best for performance. Im sure it depends on tune and mods as well.
    3
  342. Rev 2 will be a thinner gasket. When installed (compressed) we found the pan sits approx 2mm lower with the current gasket
    3
  343.  @dreednlb  Wow nice! Perhaps Z32 trans guts into an RB25 trans case or bellhousing is the secret move
    3
  344. Drain plug directly under the pick up tube is not a bad idea!
    3
  345. In my experience, girls dont like classic (old) cars. Hence my record run of being single. Hooray!
    3
  346. Thank you again for the opportunity. Always a privileged to do a full build. At least 2 customers were starstruck by the trans like "DAMN! Thats a baller ass transmission!"
    3
  347. My thoughts exactly. They make a drop in swap kit!
    3
  348. All 6 speed cars with the pull style clutch
    3
  349. "I agree a lot of this information isn’t neatly consolidated in one place" Thanks for the feedback. Wish you could have chimed in earlier so I could have spent less time on research time (which I dont bill the customer for, I just eat the labor hours by the way) Please let me know if I am wrong, but there is a HUGE difference from a hobbyist doing this swap at home to a shop having to meet customer budget and deadlines. TLDR: Swaps are NOT a money maker for the shop. Making it literally not affordable to could comb through every forum and thread for every single issue we came across.
    3
  350. Much appreciated! But I am actually in my 30's haha!
    3
  351. Different issue. This car runs LED bulbs all around.
    3
  352. These are definitely the next chassis to go BIG that the public slept on until now.
    3
  353. Haha thanks for the kind words. I watched PLENTY of his videos before I even knew who he was, much less that he was local.
    3
  354. It's what makes a Subaru...A Subaru!
    3
  355. Glad to help!
    3
  356. Completely agreed! My jaw just about dropped when I realized it was a 4 door.

  357. "So much bigger" Thats what she said! JK. Glad you found this content useful!

  358. Thanks for the thorough response. Taka Aono also halfway joked the 6 speed in these trucks bolts up to the ISF v8 so I could have a manual ISF or a ISF powered X Runner lol.
    3
  359. 30k for auto trans and rear diff. Find a good independent shop to really do the auto trans service and not just a 2 qt drain and fill
    3
  360.  @NJ_Galactic  Dealership will probably just do a drain and fill. Also with you being on the east coast, your Toyo/Subaru dealers probably rarely work on these cars,
    3
  361.  @christophernelson547  S2 bulbs you can get from any parts store. I bought the entire S2 conversion second hand locally, BUT you can use Amayama.com to find the oem trunk lock.
    3
  362. Stay away from ACT and Southbend clutches. Otherwise this TOB should solve your issues. If you are Forced induction, use the ORC clutch (comes with their own uprated fork and TOB)
    3
  363. The oil pressure switch is useless in a Subaru: you can have oil pressure with 1 qt of oil in the engine. I use to see this all the time on schedule maintenance. Subaru's oil consumption spec is 1 qt in 1,300 miles. So if you followed the 6 month 7500 mile oil change spec and never topped off your oil, I'd normal to only have 1 qt of oil left in your engine come oil change time - no warning lights. Saw it all the time.
    3
  364. Although I legit almost died: Heading on northbound 580, I had a blow out on my left rear tire out of nowhere it and spun my car 180 in the fast lane facing on comming traffic. It shut the car off and it would not restart the first time. At least 3 cars had to swerve around me. Finally I had to play "frogger" and cross 5 lanes to get to the shoulder.
    3
  365. WOW! Great tip on the foam. Although it baffles me that the engine gasket kit comes with all the foam, but none of the turbo gaskets! Agreed on Subaru's being particular cars - I've said it countless times, they are NOT just like a regular Japanese car.
    3
  366. Sometime in MFD 5/23 or 6/23 I believe there was a manufacturing change: light grey (instead of dark grey) RTV, and less of it applied at the lower oil pan. I'm not convinced as the sample size of late 23's we've dropped oil pans on, I think only one was relatively clean
    3
  367. Im not done beating the dead horse LOL jk
    3
  368. In my experience, Subaru has be far kinder to its customers. I've seen miracles happen during my time as a dealer tech ie. a car with 60k miles get bought back.
    3
  369. Oil caviation. RTV stuck in internal oil passages.
    3
  370. Thank you for the watch and your kind words!
    3
  371. True and unfortunate
    3
  372. Great point. I'll get a touge video going for this truck. Thanks for bringing it up.
    3
  373.  @pothead503  You should have the most updated valving. Mine are around 3 yrs old.
    3
  374. Fill out our contact us form for all business inquiries
    3
  375. 0w20 any premium sythentic brand is fine
    3
  376. Any incident like this both parties share a percentage of responsibility. I could have driven less aggressively and waited for a straight section to pass, but Miata should have been checking his mirrors. It really threw me off that he hit the brakes mid corner (you should never do this). I couldn't go wide, so in the heat of the moment I thought the best option was to cut it.
    3
  377. Your understanding is correct. You can use a pressure bleeder to apply pressue to the master as well, pedal would not need to be depressed in this car. I would NOT use stop leak in a hydraulic system as I can almost guarantee failure wuth the amount of pressure the system generates
    3
  378.  @boost331  BTW we are in California. So I imagine in our region, the FSM specifies "Hella" rtv to be applied not "heaps"
    3
  379. Surprise!
    3
  380.  @hachigarage6331  Tell Matt PANIC CM Autohaus sent you!
    3
  381. That seems to be what we are all hoping for
    3
  382. Thanks for the kind words! I still have more tweaks (supporting mods) left to do! The supporting stuff on this project is harder than the actually trans install for sure!
    3
  383. Thanks for the insight!
    3
  384. Many still dont understand this
    3
  385. Brake bias issues and lack of sleep haha
    3
  386. The reverse lock out shift has an option for a bent rearward shifter lever and it feels great in both a BEAMS swap and 4AGE to J160 swap
    3
  387. I appreciate the listens and support! Thank You! I don't think I can do a full how to rebuild video, but I have a series of key tips and tricks videos coming soon!
    3
  388. There should be a white 2023 where he could have gotton away with not doing the oil strainer cleaning. Cant remeber which vid sorry.
    3
  389. Thanks for the tip. We've used many Exedy clutches in S2000's before without issue.
    3
  390. This engine has a lot more power potential: the build is very old tired (needs a refresh), need a proper tune as well. But yes 150whp is proper FAST in a Corolla
    3
  391. Despite how rough it looks, him and his brother drove the entire rally in it with no problems!
    3
  392. For a T50 Amsoil Severe Gear 75w90 on a street car. For track use, Motul Gear 300.
    3
  393. Yes! Hasselgren is still very active building 4age
    3
  394. If the car is just a daily driver, one oil strainer cleaning and you should be fine for the life of the car. Track cars need other supporting mods.
    3
  395. Yes. https://youtu.be/3_uHTWKT4yA @leejo9721 
    3
  396. Thanks Scott! The supercharger makes acceleration "effortless" throughout the powerband without being overpowering. A big draw back is part availability and GZE specific items such as alternator, voltage regulator, ignitor, ect..
    3
  397. When I first started. I legit thought I was going to get the swap done in 3 days.... and here we are (Spongebob announcer voice) "8 updates later." Thanks for the continued support Alex!
    3
  398. Glad to help!
    3
  399. Toyota bought a large stake in Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru). Subaru asked Toyota to partner on the new 86 chassis to strengthen the relationship - this is what we were told in dealer training.
    3
  400. Glad you found this video useful. Yes I am super curious about the FA24DIT and surprised no one has chimed in about if it has the same RTV issues or not.
    3
  401. Likewise. I absolutely love the color on this truck. Its funny because the same color on other Toyota models is just...meh
    3
  402. Id have an indepent shop do a visual and borescope to see if Toyota actually did anything
    3
  403. Get out of the trade. Not too late to be a plumber/electrician/contractor. I've got my 4 year degree as a "just in case"
    3
  404. Thanks for the well written response. Yes, Ive seen plenty of stuff literally explode on the press and I have to remind new people in the shop "stuff on the press doesnt bend it SHATTERS." On high pressure operations I will even use a full face shield (big rusty wheel bearing)
    3
  405. Thank YOU for the kind words and support!
    3
  406. Wait until its half tank and keep adding 91. Drive the car easy for now
    3
  407. Good move. Keep of thriving Brother!
    3
  408. I shot with him that day so except him in a video soon!
    3
  409. I saw problems with overfilling engine oil on the early FB engines - circa 2010. But we have not seen problems with overfilling on the FA24
    3
  410. Shocking to say the least when I saw it for the first time
    3
  411. Two part video https://youtu.be/zTNEwJUfdmQ https://youtu.be/BlXHgDnaNmU
    3
  412. The impact of one video my goodness! Toyota/Subaru should really be paying attention. Here is my opinion based on almost two decades in the industry: there should be NOTHING blocking the oil pick up screen. If the "face-on" side is clogged, we are still reducing the total oil volume allowed into the engine.
    3
  413. I think accusump would be a excellent alternative to going full dry sump on these cars
    3
  414. Quiet rumble at idle. Sounds great with revs! No highway drone either.
    3
  415. Fo Sho
    3
  416. Ok wow if people knew this might fit the FRS Trans I would say this is a better option than the IMPLUSE Adapter. You are a legend sir!
    3
  417. Exactly correct.
    3
  418. Thank you for the kind words! More RTV videos to come!
    3
  419. You should* be fine. I'd still follow the advice in this video https://youtu.be/L295NqXhPvs
    3
  420. Thanks again Riko!
    3
  421. https://youtu.be/YbBQYqiSosE I use a combination of FRS, S15 Silvia, and Mazda RX8 parts to rebuild J160s Amayama is where I look at the EPC and source majority of the parts
    3
  422. Spoiler alert: results showed no improvement.
    3
  423.  @CarsOverPeople  No improvement. It seems the Kazama Auto Baffle is the next one to try.
    3
  424. "a guy is losing pay by really trying to fix the problem" Bingo
    3
  425. Chris is an awesome guy for staying and filming this!
    3
  426. As a technical we are taught that repair orders are legal documents. I still wouldnt take the chance on something handwritten.
    3
  427. Techno Toy Tuning. The product link in the description
    3
  428. Im sorry, but that sounds terrible and I would NOT recommend anyone do that.
    3
  429. FA24s appear to be assembled in 2 plants, so it should* have the same issues. No one has confirmed yet!
    3
  430. No. I bled each section seperatly. While bleeding the master, all other bleeders were closed
    3
  431. Completely agree. And part of the reason why our industry and trade on are a hard decline
    3
  432. I definitely think the OEM TOB was a cost cutting measure
    3
  433. 1,000 miles (first oil change) is a good time to clean the oil pick up and install an oil baffle (for track or touge use)
    3
  434. No
    3
  435. Alldata book time shows 2.0hrs labor for R&R wheel bearings only. I'd add 0.3hrs for wheel seals. 3.0hrs total labor time is what I charged this customer.
    3
  436. Wow I wish Subaru saw your comment that you just canceled. Should be a BIG red flag for the company.
    3
  437. Thanks for sharing your experience. We need a real source to verify if the engines are made in different plants instead of what people are "hearing"
    3
  438. Subaru has historically been a lot more lenient on warranty concerns than Toyota has in regards to the twins.
    3
  439. The quick release was discontinued, so the new heads will not have an open hole. I had an older version ratchet.
    3
  440. Late 2023 car. The trend I've been seeing is that some late 2023's we will see big strings of excess RTV in the oil we drained out (as seen in the cell phone video) but the oil filter will be clean.
    3
  441. Toy Auto Clinic in Burlingame
    2
  442. Yes
    2
  443. He told me exactly that they have sold hundreds without an issue.
    2
  444. Did not. Gen1 RTV issues were dealer technician caused due to improper clean up after major engine work
    2
  445. It would be best to ask CTP Cyrogrenics or WPC themselves as they are the experts. Ive seen they also do off road and baja parts such as CV joints and gearsets.
    2
  446.  @brudevold62  Yes it can be used as an alternative
    2
  447.  @brudevold62  No matter what metal, WPC and Cryo treatments ar every beneficial. People even cyro treat musical instruments and heavy machinery.
    2
  448. Here are two example of a second oil pan drop https://youtu.be/AYvEZqmp7tc https://youtu.be/hAxfTeCM254
    2
  449. When I get a "bad" test I'll make sure to film it. Thank you for the feedback!
    2
  450. Yes, you would use the bleeder on the slave only
    2
  451. Its definitly been hit and miss with the amount of rtv we find in the strainers
    2
  452. Also look super unique!
    2
  453. Glad to help. The vice is from Harbor Freight, not sure if they still sell it as it is older.
    2
  454.  @vision1707  I'd go to another mechanic. There is at least 1/2 liter of capacity above the FULL line in the coolant overflow. Coolant is NEVER supposed to b expelled onto the ground - that 50s/60's car tech
    2
  455. BLITZ
    2
  456.  @danielfrost8147  Greddy also makes a few FMIC kits for the ERC33. I chose the Blitz as it routes the IC pipes in the OEM spots and make the engine bay look less cluttered IMO
    2
  457. Slide to the left if your head is in the trunk.
    2
  458. Thanks for the watch and support!
    2
  459. HO being 2.5" would be perfect behind a BEAMS
    2
  460.  @adamlong1622  I kept my BRAVE because I think it sounds nicer. HKS Hi power is the cost effective choice. Martelius has typically been the best balance of price/fitment/performance for me. I actually bought another Group A header (with my own money) recently to replace the prototype one
    2
  461. I kept the oem master without issue. I competed in at least 6 time attack events and 3 HPDE. I bought the PP brakes as entire assemblies on knuckles. So trimming dust shields is an option, but I like my stuff to look "oem." Pedal feel and braking power FAR surpassed stock. Highly recommended!
    2
  462.  @edgarherrera6056  My top 3 optons https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-autohaus-podcast/episode/004-top-3-ae86-transmission-options-58255400 I think episode 2 I go over all the transmission swap options
    2
  463. Thanks for the feedback and the watch!
    2
  464. Installed. Helped with brake pedal feel A LOT in tandem with a BMC brace (Skyline firewalls apparently flex A LOT) but did not completely solve my issue. I did not do a full system bleed that night also, which you should do afterwards. I know there are other issues with the system to look into as well.
    2
  465. That sounds like a terrible idea
    2
  466. Yes I made a mistake, needle needs to be calibrated everytime this is done.
    2
  467. 2
    2
  468.  @CarsOverPeople  Biggest safety/key items on a PDI: body plugs, fluid levels, lug nut torque, tire pressure For some reason, we keep seeing low side A/C caps missing from the factory as well.
    2
  469. Can't wait for next year! No more boba meets for me!
    2
  470. By a pinion depth tool or by reading gear pattern. Setting up gearsets is a lost art and a headache,
    2
  471. Haha J160 is the new T50. And unfortunately I see this trans facing the same fate where we run our of spares and no one knows how to rebuild these
    2
  472. Glad you enjoyed it. Make sure you listen to the entire origin stories series! I'm overdue to make a final episode.
    2
  473. Just dont love working on it LOL!
    2
  474. Yes WPC improves strength as well!
    2
  475. Thank you for the watch!
    2
  476. Your going to need a new transmission very soon. Its one of 3 detent balls for the shift sleeve/hub.
    2
  477.  @TStig39  Yes but you have to completely tear down and rebuild the transmission. Less expensive to just good a good used unit.
    2
  478. Yokohama AVS MODEL T5
    2
  479. Its tough thats the way things are
    2
  480. Group 24F battery
    2
  481. It makes it far easier. Stay tuned for the next video on Wed, but it would be near impossible to get the pinion angle correct on my car with a 1pc.
    2
  482.  @boost331  Up to the dealers discression - recently the warrenty language was changed to be "case by case basis"
    2
  483. Much appreciated. Toyota Altezza 6 speed
    2
  484. Just a few speed bumps. But not a big deal, making plenty of progress!
    2
  485. Good to know!
    2
  486. "The dealerships will try to suck you dry" If you are the "kiss A$$" of the dealer it is the other way around ; )
    2
  487. But not my Dog!?!?!
    2
  488. Bishonen desu
    2
  489. Me too!
    2
  490. You need a crank AND cam trigger to run sequential fuel and ignition. There arent anyb "great" ways to run a cam trigger on 4age, but someone in the comments mentioned CBY making a valve cover mount cam trigger.
    2
  491. I would skip all the frustation and get a BBK properly desgined for the car like the BG kit instead of piece mealing a "kit" and hoping for the best like I did.
    2
  492. Yes I currently daily drive the X. Sold my Skyline for a 1986 911.
    2
  493. Much appreciated. Thank you for the kind words
    2
  494. You know you are in for life when you have the JDM/USDM of the same car.
    2
  495. Agreed. A company needs to step up and make some sort of gasket for easy service.
    2
  496. Agreed! Thanks for the watch!
    2
  497. Auto transmission requires a different fluid. We prefer Motul 300 for the manual trans and Amsoil Severe gear for the rear diff
    2
  498. yes, will work.
    2
  499. Ah Matt said you didn't have a YouTube. You are up to bat next Mark!
    2
  500. Thanks for the support Thomas! Will do!
    2
  501. You typically replace the entire system if one part fails (slave, master, softline) otherwise everything else gets contaminated. There may be a problem with another part or you could try different bleeding procedures (some cars need to be 2 man bleed because of a one way check valve)
    2
  502. J160 and TL70 gearsets only 6th gear is interchangeable. Even with RX8 and S15 variants there are differences with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear IIRC
    2
  503. I have the resonated sound clip video release soon (I much prefer the resonated)
    2
  504. He changed his mind to BEAMS swap as he picked this up. lol
    2
  505. 5 bolts. Not too bad lol.
    2
  506. Thank you for the kind words! Attention to detail is one of our trademarks!
    2
  507. GZE is a bit more complicated, but it could happen!
    2
  508. Agreed! Super unique sounding for an RB engine as well.
    2
  509. Glad it helped!
    2
  510. Martelius XL header and Brave Catback
    2
  511. Im more of a Hall and Oates guy.
    2
  512. Driver door sill. Should have a sticker that says "MFG date"
    2
  513. Speed SF is typically who we go with.
    2
  514. Thank you for the kind words. I've been dying for ITB's, unfortunately I am not an electronics guy, thus the lack of standalone management for all these years.
    2
  515. If you are regularly driving the truck, I'd get the softest ones. These are great for towing or when I have the bed loaded, but not the most comfortable over big bumps when unloaded lol
    2
  516. Hard for Lexus to Flexus when Koenigsegg next door was revving hypercar engines all day lol
    2
  517. Budget. Treating individual parts add up so we focus on the key stressed parts. If this trans was known to have a 1st gear weakness (ie a drag or auto X car) we'd treat 1st gear and the bearing
    2
  518. Im not sure sorry, but I think on the JSP website they have dimensions to see if your battery will fit.
    2
  519. Glad this could help you! We are a Verus Engineering dealer and stock the upgraded Synchrotech CF Synchros. A must for a rebuild!
    2
  520.  @amirweissbrot  I guarentee 4th gear dog teeth are worn. You will need a new 4th gear and shift sleeve at the least. I buy a new 3rd gear while you're there because I bet the dog teeth are worn as well.
    2
  521. I miss my friends white hair, yellow speck, and scotch brite : (
    2
  522. Id stick with a traditional clutch/flywheel. Battle Garage has some really good TODA options That Uniclutch is heavy AF, more suited to forced induction cars that need the clamping force.
    2
  523. Runs the world whether we like it or not.
    2
  524. Welcome To The YAY!
    2
  525. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Although this particular owner got lucky as his engine came with a Toda flywheel and a fancy TRD clutch
    2
  526. Thanks for the support as always!!!!
    2
  527. Bearing PN are in the description. I found them on eBay. Any reputable rebuild kit should fine, you will just toss 3 of the bearings.
    2
  528. Thanks!
    2
  529. I am the owner of CM Autohaus in Fremont, CA. Yes, we specialize in the AE86 chassis Corolla. I also have a Corolla tattoo.
    2
  530.  @xiricbenson3181  Thank you for the kind words. We also have a podcast if your Corolla content appetite is not yet satiated. "The Autohaus Podcast"
    2
  531. I can check when the car returns for its check up inspection. IIRC it was a 10" push fan. It was wired to turn on when the A/C was on.
    2
  532. Rebuild cost will depend on shop labor. Very few shops are willing to even rebuild these. Most owners choose to buy a used trans once theirs fails
    2
  533. This kit went to an overseas seller. Someone in NZ or in the MRP camp would be better to ask.
    2
  534. I think it is just another one of those maintenance items to address. All rubber parts should be at least inspected after 30 years. But yes, leaking injector O ring can also be a vacuum leak.
    2
  535. You got it! Any other how tos you would like to see please give us a shout!
    2
  536. You cannot safely.
    2
  537. Yes even more weight with wiring and engine bay items.
    2
  538. Standard 3 rib compression yes so there is definitly power left on the table with a high comp set up
    2
  539. Right on Thanks!
    2
  540. Off the shelf mount it. We've done a customer BEAMS swap before. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWD_nkVFKkaP2VJezRk9DTF-bffaK98sI
    2
  541. God speed and good luck my man!
    2
  542. Because if you are a dishonest kiss a$$, the boss needs you to produce more hours, not be held back by fixing your own come back (2nd tech in the story)
    2
  543. Possibly. The two donor transmissions I had were both S14 units. This video shows a bench test and some of the differences between the two transmissions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OWI7kz5hCo&t=384s
    2
  544. "Cut into the strut tower w/o instructions " And I just about said F this S right then and there lol.
    2
  545. On a GTST there should be a Zinc colored bracket. The fuel pump slides straight down on 2 legs (farthest left)
    2
  546. Already done https://youtu.be/zTNEwJUfdmQ https://youtu.be/BlXHgDnaNmU
    2
  547. I would ask your local lock smith before buying anything. I bought from RockAuto and ended up not using any of them
    2
  548. The culture and community is so strong out here in NorCal. Although ownership of classic JTIN is always a heartbreak and a money suck.
    2
  549. Thanks for the watch and support! Comments also help with the algorithm!
    2
  550. Yes also for R33 gts25t. R32 and R34 take a different caliper
    2
  551. Hey yes it sounds like something is when out of place during install. The check balls for the shift rods are especially difficult to reinstall
    2
  552. I have not, and I think something is different in the way they are building the FA24 for the WRX as we see blue "specks" in the filters as opposed to green/red/yellow that we see in the GR86
    2
  553. We do not get paid if the customer does not show up
    2
  554. Stay tuned. Almost running! I got it to fire last week.
    2
  555. Thanks man. I have more videos in store for this engine. Doing a full build, plus getting the car running again.
    2
  556. CM Autohaus
    2
  557. 22,500 miles is still a good rule. Just like engine oil, cant change it "too often"
    2
  558. We can do it. Results are most accurate on the first 2 oil changes.
    2
  559. A crate T50 would be the dream.
    2
  560. Its a gorgeous looking kit that still holds up in looks today!
    2
  561. I wish! But thank you!
    2
  562. If no one wants to be a tech, how do we get automotive instructors? My old auto instructor has regularly ping'd me to come instruct with him as there is a severe shortage of auto teachers
    2
  563. https://youtu.be/32VUAbMEJPU and https://youtu.be/mqoK_a0EnmQ
    2
  564. Whether or not an engine has an excess RTV issue is going to be based on how well it was assembled from the factory and NOT how the car is used. Even if it is just a daily driver, I would still recommend an RTV cleaning if you plan to keep the car for the long term. Out of the more than 50 cleanings we've done, only 1 or 2 probably would have been "ok" without it which means there is a very high chance for an engine to have an excess RTV issue.
    2
  565. Our source at Toyota of Japan told me 2 years ago that their stance was that excess RTV was a "non - issue." Yet depending on the manufacture date, we keep seeing production improvements to RTV application and types. Hmmmm......
    2
  566.  @EnigmaticCipher13  There are a few aftermarket options you can do to get the factory speedo working again such as flying magnet or GPS. I think I covered the comparison in a podcast episode. LMK if it is not adequate. https://youtu.be/gJ0wca-S6aA
    2
  567.  @EnigmaticCipher13  In terms of shifting and performance I choose the TL70 swap, also disregarding cost. The new shifter location is not closer tot he driver and actually feels great! Even for Grant with his long arms. Shortening the handbrake was annoying to do, but you dont notice it after.
    2
  568. You can be the first Hachi with the livery. Also minimal effort compared to a full on wrap.
    2
  569. $3000 USD base price. They have a ton of opinions for this kit which will change the price (Gearsets, speedo, carbon trim, ect) These are made to order so expect at least 4 month wait time.
    2
  570. Yes, it is on the BGRS racecar. We are not sure if it passes sound as Grant's ITBs are the loudest thing on the car and he lifts at the booth.
    2
  571. Short answer is no difference besides the speedo gear sets. There are generational and year to year differences.
    2
  572. Thank you for the kind words! Doing my best!
    2
  573. Noted! Must have misspoke during the vid
    2
  574. Much appreciated! Yes Damien (the owner) is such a cool and humble guy. He just drove his car back from UP Garage back to the bay.
    2
  575. Driver is still shaking off the "ring rust," but yes indeed should be a VERY fast road course car
    2
  576. More parts support, newer parts. 20v itbs are antiquated at this point - I've seen plenty of worn/sloppy OEM linkages with no parts support. I've been told the 42mm itbs VS blacktop/silver top will actually work better for a 16v
    2
  577. Forgot to take a photo of the rtv inside the oil strainer
    2
  578. The owner was also a very nice guy! He gave most of the BG team ride alongs!
    2
  579. Check the harness that plugs into the rev switch. Those barrels sometimes just need to be tweaked to fit tighter.
    2
  580. Yes 2025's still have the RTV issue
    2
  581. Sourced from multiple places overseas. Check out Part 3 of this series. Ep Importers can get your majority of the parts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B9m4Pm3S1A&list=PLWD_nkVFKkaNP0l4wmQoj6jI5dX44-DV1&index=3&t=0s
    2
  582. Most likely not sorry. Besides Covid, I am still struggling to pay for the renovation work as well as upkeep for the new shop.
    2
  583. Thank you for the watch and leaving the well written comment!
    2
  584. Thanks 👍
    2
  585. As in many aspects in life, you should try your best not to "shove it in" and pray lol
    2
  586. Glad to help
    2
  587. Does not.
    2
  588. Mo is a master of his craft!
    2
  589. Oh man. Original P/S and A/C is so rare to see these days, completely agree.
    2
  590. Engraver tool. Scribing the detent plugs so they go back in the same spot
    2
  591. Hey Aaron. So glad my videos were useful! Thank you for the kind words and support.
    2
  592. Good point. Once these engines get close to the 60k service, what will we see?
    2
  593. Its odd as every FA24 SHOULD* come from the same 2 factories?
    2
  594. Hope you fix it!
    2
  595. Will do! Much appreciated! Pt2 is getting edited right now!
    2
  596. Wrong. https://youtu.be/3_uHTWKT4yA?si=kI9JM9YzitUbSwCs
    2
  597. We honestly weren't optimastic as the SYMS baffle already prevents oil from surging up into the front timing cover. Im personally not a fan of then extra pick up tube strainer either.
    2
  598.  @murbin.86  Yes, I do not recommend the extra strainer
    2
  599. Some one may have a trick. But I dont know how to do this without a tool. Different auto manufacturers have different looking specials tools to do the same thing as the baer tool.
    2
  600. Motul Gear 300
    2
  601. Not for everything. I got a lot from AMP gears. Here is my bearing video https://youtu.be/tFOR2_kZFeQ
    2
  602. I do not personally. But they seem to be VERY popular for these transmissions.
    2
  603. And proper rev/2 step battles lol. I was nervous at the time if the track would be upset about that or not haha
    2
  604. Our shop is in Fremont, CA. If you just have a street car, not a track or drift toy, I can work with that budget if it is an AE86 T50 transmission
    2
  605. Yes thank you for bringing this us and I am shocked this has not dawned on me. But I am 90% sure the TL70 6th gearset will work. I actually recently had an issue with fitment on a Silvia 6th gear on an Altezza shaft, so I may switch to TL70 6th gearsets from now on if I find they work Shoot me an email ezekiel@cmautohaus.com In appreciation, Id like to gift you an Autohaus hat.
    2
  606.  @UntappedGarage  On a J160 rebuild last week I found Silvia 6th main gear (the smaller one) there is a raised "step" in the ID making the ID smaller in that part vs the J160 6th gear. Long story short I cracked the mainshaft trying to press on 6th - I've installed at least 10 6th gearsets and this is the first time this happened. Extremely frustrating because: I have to call the customer and tell him the bad news why his trans will be delayed for race season, I have to eat the cost of the mainshaft plus WPC/Cyro treatment again, burned an entire shop day with this 6th gear fiasco. It been a tough week at the shop to say the least
    2
  607. Thank you for the kind words!
    2
  608. Thanks!
    2
  609. Thanks Alex! I personally love "nerdy" topics, but unfortunatly majority of my YouTube audience does not
    2
  610. You are ridiculous. Do you realize if you do not support specialty shops, pricing, availability, reproduction parts, everything for you chassis will go to shit. Look at the DSM and Alfa Romero market. Its because everyone said things were "a rip off" or "too expensive"
    2
  611. I am the sole owner of the shop. 2 years of running a weekly podcast improved my communication skills immensely. Our shop rate is "average" for an independent shop. I am not a business person at all, but am grateful to have customers who are successful small business owners and have acted as my mentors
    2
  612. Thanks for the input. I would still rather play it safe.
    2
  613. Lol I may have to spill my heart in the next video then
    2
  614. My friend @ casey_abbott__ made the intro!
    2
  615. Glad I could help!
    2
  616. Thanks for the kind words. VTEC solenoids also commonly can have issues
    2
  617. No. And to this day it still shocks me how many of you SoCal people ask this despite the plethora of shops in SoCal. Ive heard from my SoCal industry peers that because there so are many shops in SoCal, it is a race to the bottom based on price point which forces good shops to close.
    2
  618. Oh man! Prof Dennis and Pee Pee Touch "Sea Doo" Cedu. All the SoCal guys have to do is reach out! But they always leave us NorCal guys hanging for group track days as well!
    2
  619.  @CoreysZ32  LOL goalz bro
    2
  620. Have not. I am advising to wait 10-15k miles to check again
    2
  621. Glad you enjoyed it! And thank for the continued support!
    2
  622. Different oil type is key. Based on experience, OEM synchros want a thicker "type" of oil ie Amsoil Severe Gear vs Motul300 or Amsoil MTG ("thinner" but same 75w90 weight). Carbon synchros in these trans will prefer the "thinner" oil
    2
  623. Along with 1qt oil overfill yes
    2
  624. Ive run the FC calipers and this kit using the BGRS Wilwood prop valve. I am not the "best" driver, but I used to do a consistent 2:01 at Laguna Seca if that gives you an idea how hard I use the brakes.
    2
  625.  @alainenriquez3899  Yes. Highly recommended. Many factors such as ambient temp, tires, brake pads will all change brake bias and it is very valuable to be able to change bias on the fly https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/wilwood-proportioning-valve
    2
  626.  @alainenriquez3899  Thats honestly a question for Wilwood. Their instructions state to put it inline with the rear only. Badboy runs the Wilwood valve version that hooks up both front and rear lines.
    2
  627.  @alainenriquez3899  Much appreciated Alain! I will do my best!
    2
  628. Well think again! You the follow the shop Instagram @ Autohaus_Z for the most recent updates. YouTube will be about 1 week behind.
    2
  629. "lifetime warranty" I'd get that in writing and have a lawyer look it over. Sounds way too good to be true. Also, frequent oil changes are not a solution to the factory applying excess RTV to the engine.
    2
  630. "Yeet" nani desu ka?
    2
  631. Same architecture as the Toyotas J160 and Nissan S15 gearbox. Thrust-washer is a documented common issue. Also have seen it in person on TL70.
    2
  632. More to come!
    2
  633. Nice. You should get the recall done if it applys for you.
    2
  634. Thank you for the kind words and the watch
    2
  635. Thanks for the support!
    2
  636. Eric. Thank you so much for your support. I just about spit out my dinner and fainted when I saw how big your order was. I can promise videos will not stop: I'm dedicated to 2 uploads a week, making the best and meaningful content I can, and going as hard on YouTube as I can afford. I have my sights on that 100k subs YouTube Play button to hang in our shop lobby!
    2
  637. Thank you for the kind words and the watch!
    2
  638. Tamura-san hopping out of the millennium jade R34, then seeing the Mines CEO next to him was the flex of the century.
    2
  639. Yeah we saw Larry at R's day AND the Toprank event.
    2
  640. Thank you so much for the kind words. Through all the trials and tribulations, I genuinely try to do right by my customers everyday.
    2
  641. My sentiments exactly. I switched to open to atmo recently as I discovered build up in the intake manifold port even though the catch can was doing its job.
    2
  642. Although not a very viable swap anymore due to lack of parts support for the GZE specific parts
    2
  643.  @tanyguch_kun1330  Only JDM GZE has a mao sensor. IIRC GZE specific hard to find parts include: alternator, voltage regulator, any supercharger related parts, many gaskets are discontinued, dizzy cap, and much more! - making this swap less and less viable for the long run.
    2
  644. Good rebuild kit for that trans doesn't exist. You have to mix and match parts. https://youtu.be/tFOR2_kZFeQ
    2
  645. I'd try bleeding everything first. If that doesnt work, you may have a restriction.
    2
  646. Hey Josh. Curious you have not had issues with the T3 pulley. Only other cooling system mods I did were the SQ rear head outlet and blocking off the IACV ports on the metal coolant line under the intake. Someone also commented timing could also be an issue, as we have not touched timing on the standaone yet.
    2
  647. There is actually this convoluted brace you are supposed to bolt to the engine that I've never seen any dealership have as a pole jack does the trick just fine.
    2
  648. Glad it helped!
    2
  649. Depends on the tool. I've seen others like OTC spec a different pressure
    2
  650. Thank you for the support!
    2
  651. The twice JB weld repaired gas tank sprung a leak while I was in Japan last week - that accurately describes the maintenance history of the car lol
    2
  652. You should see the IG reel we posted using a clip from this video. We got those comments as well as a lot of nonsense. Dealer techs who worked pre 2008 (especially earlier) dont have an idea about how bad things are now.
    2
  653. S2000 owners are a die hard breed!
    2
  654.  @bluelacyseo8964  Yes the FA24 are finicky to read the oil level after an oil change. I road tested the cars then let the car sit for 10-15mins. You literally do not have time to do that as a dealertech - doesnt suprise me.
    2
  655. Thank you for the support! Keep your eyes open!
    2
  656. Much appreciated. Thank you for the support!
    2
  657. Much appreciated! I may have to ask you a few questions in the near future!
    2
  658. Thank you for the kind words!
    2
  659. We got this master from Flo's (they have a smaller booster also). Ive bought a RHD clutch master from an Aus company also.
    2
  660. Carburetor and Supercharged 4AGZE?
    2
  661. We finished the CAD file for the 4age to Sandem compressor bracket. The project is honestly at a standstill, as there doesnt seem to be market demand for it. I can still build/install this kit for local customers. The test car's system is still running flawlessly to this day, even with one 6 hour road trip.
    2
  662. Older T50s have a smaller OD input and Front counter bearing, but the rest are backwards compatible. Too many differences to list, but obvious indicator is the output spline count is different.
    2
  663.  @collinklein2230  It should if you get the correct clutch disk and driveshaft. Although I recommend the newest version ae86 T50 (T51) as it has all the improvements.
    2
  664. I have one on the way to Hawaii now. Ive had one other customer drive up from SoCal.
    2
  665. This was my first time on the dyno so I do not have a before graph. But some "butt dyno" power adder milestones I can remember are: installing cams, degreeing cams, Martelius XL header.
    2
  666. Not that I know of sorry. Not sure if you can purchase seperatly. Toyo DIY should help
    2
  667. Thank you so much for the kind words. My old shop assistant recently became our in house media guy so he deserves the credit for the videos. Credit where credit is due!
    2
  668. Try 32 years old. But I've been in the industry for 17 years. Over 10+ years ASE Master Certified.
    2
  669. Absolutely nothing, sing it with me ya'll
    2
  670. yes
    2
  671. Not as easily available on the Martelius stateside. There is a US verision of the Fujitsubo header, but the outlet is unfortunately smaller than the Tec Arts verision
    2
  672. I've seen in before either online or in a JDM mag, but completely forgot when I saw it in person.
    2
  673. Who knew Celica Supras could look so good!
    2
  674. Agreed. These are amazing. BG is having a TOUGH time right now getting man power due to Covid, but are trying their best to update the website and get orders out. To expedite things, you can email BGRS directly as these 4 links are essentially made to order and need to be specially powered coated the BG green.
    2
  675. Breeze fab website link in description below for pricing.
    2
  676.  @lifeisawesome7299  Dealership should be fine
    2
  677. Only 2nd one we've done that "wasnt bad" lol
    2
  678. Shims are still available from the dealer. The FSM clearly outlines how to choose shim thickness
    2
  679.  @bayleyfearn9676  Gear oil still gets past the seals. Ive worked on transmissions from the 1980 - 2010's. Pretty common place.
    2
  680. Bad master. Replace the whole system: master, slave, and line.
    2
  681. You can bend straight feeler gauges into an L. Using a straight gauge into an angled spot has affected the "feel" for me.
    2
  682. Thanks for the input. Although it is definitely A LOT louder. BGRS will ultimately decide whether to carry both options.
    2
  683.  @lordbigmanz6991  Much appreciated boss. Yes I barley have enough energy to be loud in my everyday life haha. I am very grateful for Mr. Pumphrey's time for essentially a nobody like myself.
    2
  684. There could be a unique way you have to bleed the system
    2
  685. Much appreciated!
    2
  686. Yes! Lots of my middle aged customers commented muscle car guys have been doing Vintage Air for ages!
    2
  687. Much appreciated!
    2
  688. Air trapped or a leak is likely
    2
  689. Auto trans do not use a throw out bearing. This does not apply
    2
  690. Definitely possible. Just how much time and money are you willing to put into Rnd? If you are asking to convert SR5 drums to GTS disks its probably been done and with a write up to boot.
    2
  691. 1000 miles is what we recommend so that the excess RTV and "junk" has the time to work its way out of the engine
    2
  692. Thanks for the feedback. I just did a group drive this past weekend and the brakes were excellent! Pedal feel was always firm and inspired confidence, stopping distance was greatly reduced. I will do doing a track day at the end of April (R's day at Willow Springs) and will be filming.
    2
  693. That has to be a secret for the ages. From what I've seen on cars other shops work on, a strategically placed tear in the boot is better than completely destroying it.
    2
  694. Bearing splitter and 20ton press. I think a few bearings/gears needed a puller. IIRC front counter bearing need a specific SST. I cut the outer race to pull it off.
    2
  695. Thank you for the kind words and support! My newer videos should be a lot better in terms of framing!
    2
  696. Thanks for the watch and support!
    2
  697. In regards to oil starvation, agreed. It's a combination of factors
    2
  698. Most likely true!
    2
  699. I am a man of few words in real life lol
    2
  700. Thanks for the kind words an support. I'll have to find a way to get all 3 of my car in one spot
    2
  701. It may have accidentally fallen into gear when you put the tailshaft on. Take it back off and check, its happened to me a few times.
    2
  702. There is a unwritten code with technicians - if you have to borrow a tool 3 times, you should buy it yourself.
    2
  703. Yes the dealer may get paid 2x. The technican sees next to none of that pay
    2
  704. Happy new year and thank you for the support!
    2
  705. Yes every 40k miles
    2
  706. I dont think the RTV issue is solved in 2023 models. This customer just "lucked out." Check out the playlist for what we found in other 2023 models https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWD_nkVFKkaPRHm0rUOf26ZGqDmHHKnwX
    2
  707. I really appreciate the support, but its a tough call - as much as I love the content I used to do, the RTV videos drive real customer work and gain the shop serious recognition.
    2
  708. Part 3 "Parts" releases next. We are still editing "assembly" video
    2
  709. I didnt train the past 2 decades to hope to make minimum wage. Again, why cant I just get paid my regular wage.
    2
  710. Daily commuter only. No track.
    2
  711.  @isaacmagana7078  More updates to come!
    2
  712. Thank you Lawrence! Likewise!
    2
  713. Likewise here stateside. My customers half joke it is more common to see an AE86 than these.
    2
  714. Depending on which organizer, but Laguna is typically the most expensive track to do an open track day at. Ive paid from $300 to $400 for a single track day.
    2
  715. Bingo. At minimum I would have a 3rd party verify the oil and coolant levels are correct after every service. Basic. I know. But dealers cant even get that right.
    2
  716.  @ViaticalTree  "How do I know they’ll do the no start crank to get the oil circulated before starting the first time?" 100% they are NOT going to do this. Flat Rate pay at the dealership means get the work out as fast as possible. Basic services like oil changes go to the entry level, least experienced.
    2
  717.  @frsr416  75w90 Amsoil Severe Gear and Motul300 gave been my go-to for Toyota boxes
    2
  718. Keen eye. I love the intro as well. My friend @ casey_abbott__ made it!
    2
  719. Battle Garage RS should have everything you need.
    2
  720. Fuel level sender is for gtst is discontinued so you can try the FB groups. Radium should have a drop in fuel pump hanger solution
    2
  721. Street driven cars should not have issues, but even for touge cars, I would recommend 5w30, oil cooler, and oil baffle. I still do oil strainer cleanings for "daily driver" GR86 customers by request as well still dont know the long term effects of RTV blocking the pick up.
    2
  722. Bingo. Exactly our findings as well
    2
  723. I hope that "thumping noise" isnt oil cavitation or starvation - something that was causing engine damage! I know air in the cooling system can cause a "thumping" or "knocking" noise
    2
  724. There should be a cost calculator on the WPC and CTP Cyrogenics website. But IMO it is very affordable for the long terms benefits you get from the treatment
    2
  725. Thanks man! The R32 from Initial D was my first introduction to the Nissan Skyline. One of my favorite scene was when he is standing by Shingo watching a race and says "we shouldnt stand so close to each other, or else people will mistake us for friends"
    2
  726. Thanks for the support! We do our best to give back!
    2
  727. Wow that sounds like a nightmare. Did someone try to force a different spline driveshaft into the trans? (different year T50s have different spline counts). Without looking at the trans, I'd say rust penetrate and slide hammer.
    2
  728. Stock internals. Yes a built 7AGE can obviously be more power, but the BEAMS swap attraction has always been the (once) low price and "drop in" nature of the swap.
    2
  729. Riko for President 2024
    2
  730. Clutch friction disc may be on backwards or you have a bad ACT clutch out of the box
    2
  731. Shame on Toyota. So much for "Toyotacare"
    2
  732.  @drjk7565  Bad customer care is the real killer IMO. Toyota USA is not standing behind owners. I've even heard personal account of reps telling to owners to just "Sell the car" if they are not happy
    2
  733. I've been dying to try and install an electric p/s setup
    2
  734. yes
    2
  735. Circa 2010 I dont thin 1UZ was as popular as it has become. Another reason for the GZE was that in CA to be legal you need to have your engine change state certified. Many AE86 have gone through the process with GZE, but 1UZ was a question since they never officially came manual trans. I also installed an ae86 x member in my RA
    2
  736. I first met Chris as the young dumb kid who bought (and crashed soon after) my college buddy's car (his current ae86). Fast forward to today and I am so proud of this guy for his perseverance, accomplishments, and staying true.
    2
  737.  @henrikolsen6534  Cusco has offical instructions on their website. Yes more aftermarket diffs you can change the amount of lock by flipping or changing the orientation of the plates
    2
  738. A trusted local independent shop who specializes in the 86 chassis
    2
  739. I do not, but that sounds pretty bad on the engine importers part. We do compression/leak down on engines outside the call regularly. Also have had customers buy engine with a compression/leak down sheet attached. I think 20v engines are so in demand these days, importers dont even need to bother with a comp/leak down because people will pay up the arse reguardless.
    2
  740. Thanks for the watch
    2
  741. Are you a Subaru fanatic? Love the Boxer engine and symmetrical AWD? Probably not. Which means you should find another crossover/SUV and not have to deal with Subaru maintenance quirks.
    2
  742. Indeed!
    2
  743. It sounds like you dont know how to lift or support a vehicle? If this is the case, it would be worth it to pay a shop to remove the oil pan and clean the oil strainer (oil pan baffle optional) - this should* be a one time service
    2
  744. Full VLOG coming soon!

  745. MFD 10/23 This is "supposed" to be the one with all the updates. I'd be more concerned about the smaller and skinny pieces than can make it past the oil strainer
    2
  746. Coolant service never gets any easier or is any less of a mess on these cars no matter how many times Ive done it.
    2
  747. Thank you for the kind words! It is definitely a dream for me, but its definitely tough, long hours, headache, and heart break behind the scenes.
    2
  748. Ignore the TA71B. The bellhousing should have a hole on top for the CPK if it is a s14 trans.
    2
  749. Manual Only.
    2
  750. Should be possible!
    2
  751. Yes normal RTV is fine. And yes sealant on the islands
    2
  752.  @FRS_Heero  I personally wouldnt run any solid crank pulley. Engine harmonics have to be transfered somewhere. Lightweight flywheels on the other hand are a great upgrade
    2
  753. Glad you found this video useful. I'd unbolt the lower engine mounts and remove the top rad hold down brackets for more wiggle room. As I tilt the trans down, I would watch the rad hoses or anything else in the front to make sure they arent getting strained. You could even remove the dogbone mount in the engine bay for even more wiggle room.
    2
  754. The technician shortage is affecting car brands across the board: I have an customer who works for a high line dealer (McLaren, Ferrari, Bently, ect). Even he said they cant find technicians - they are even head hunting out of state and offering relocation packages - still cant find any. Which means most places have had to resort to hiring the uneducated and unskilled - as what appears to be your case.
    2
  755. Part numbers are in the write up link in the video description
    2
  756. Yes Mity Vac. From experience I know its a mess when you flip the engine around with oil in the head.
    2
  757. More to come!
    2
  758. No one seems to know the solution yet, but there has got to be a way to even out that imbalance. Dealerships should be profitable, but not at the expense of treating employees and customers like garbage.
    2
  759. Its been pouring rain or sunny, no inbetween these days so I lucked out lol
    2
  760. Glad you had fun! Sorry we didnt get to meet up!
    2
  761.  @bryandyer6912  We cannot help on parts sorry, but everything can be found with a google search
    2
  762.  @boost331  RTV doesn't leak?
    2
  763. God speed sir! Slant noses are apparently "undesirable," but I think they are rad AF. Fashions also change with time: apparently the ae86 Levin was the undesirable base model when it came out, NOW apparently in Japan, the Levin is the more desirable model.
    2
  764. Glad you found this video useful. Sound like an internal engine issue if there is coolant loss and no external leak.
    2
  765. Couldn't agree more!
    2
  766. Thank for for the kinda words. CTP Cryogenics in SoCal is who I use for all my cyro and WPC treatments.
    2
  767.  @thbigshot101  This was for a customer running a BEAMS swap. After this work the diff should be near silent, the LSD will lock harder, some cars even coast/roll smoother. I currently do not have any WPC/Cyro treated parts in my own cars. As the saying goes "the cobblers children have no shoes"
    2
  768. We chose not to film all the days I cried when we ran into a snafu haha
    2
  769. Yes we have not yet dropped the pan on a BRZ or 2023 yet. But I can almost guarantee that it is still an issue on the 2023 GR86 - timeline was too soon between the RTV issue "blowing up" in the media for Subaru/Toyota to have a fix.
    2
  770. Glad you got it figured out!
    2
  771. Salud!
    2
  772. Made by Ezekiel from scratch. Aluminum from the scrap bin 3 hole swap holes and a few bends.
    2
  773. The bottom of the piston bores need to be clearance out so the longer stroke rods will clear. Ideally you would take it to a shop familiar with 4AGEs and installing stroker kits. support@battlegarage-rs.com will get you more specific answers
    2
  774. Definitely possible you could have ruined the internal seals by running the system dry. Sounds like clutch cannot completely disengage. Bad master/slave/air in the lines.
    2
  775.  @roosbinpancan2380  Its common practice to replace the master, slave, and soft line all at once to avoid cross contamination
    2
  776.  @roosbinpancan2380  Its the rubber line that connects to the slave
    2
  777. Thank YOU! For the watch and support!
    2
  778.  @TheJacobshapiro  If this will just be a "street" car, you shouldnt really have issues. But canyon use and especially track use has proven to be a "question mark" in terms of engine longevity. And go figure, they put the soccer mom engine from the Ascent into a drivers car.
    2
  779.  @ccarr313  Absolutly not. We've cut open at least 100 FA24 oil filters and there should near no metal in the oil filter at 1,000 miles
    2
  780. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  781.  @paulie428  Unfortunatly only time will tell. I'm hoping to pull an oil pan 10k miles after oil strainer cleaning to see if there will be more RTV.
    2
  782. Thanks fr the support! Where is GM land?
    2
  783. No one yet. FelPro used to, but is now discontinued. I think even a cork style oil pan gasket should be fine, as automatic transmission see similar temps
    2
  784. Mr Toyoda installed it for me lol
    2
  785. Can you rephrase your question? I dont quite understand what you are asking.
    2
  786. Much appreciated! I absolutely still love my truck!
    2
  787. This video still holds true. Although the J160 has become significantly more rare and expensive. Many other companies are now adapting the TL70 to other engines as well.
    2
  788. Much appreciated!
    2
  789. Odd. My Hitch and x-brace fit without issue. I did not know about the stiffener bracing! Thanks!
    2
  790. 0w20 for daily driving. 5w30 for track or heavy canyon use. Amsoil, Motul, liquimoly are all great options. We are Amsoil dealers, so that what our customer cars get.
    2
  791. Yes two required.
    2
  792. Glad you liked it! Anything in particular you'd like to see more of?
    2
  793.  @gafrers  This was filmed a while ago so both cars are back with the customers. But if Riko comes back with the Levin we can weight it for you
    2
  794. Preach!
    2
  795. Preach!
    2
  796. Follow Rikos Way on youtube and IG. He is regularly hosting meets there
    2
  797. Will do! And thank you for the watch and support!
    2
  798. Hey thanks for the feedback and long time support! It has been tough finding the time and money to work on my personal cars this year, but I will keep you in mind!
    2
  799. FACTS!
    2
  800. Hoping the public can get informed!
    2
  801. I love the podcast as well, but it no longer financially makes sense. Shop expenses more than doubled this year with double the shop size plus an employee. We could not get enough monetary support (merch sales, patreon, ect) to afford to continue the podcast
    2
  802. "I am unsure how to find a good mechanic" Join a local Subaru community and attend their in person meets. Ask them for shop recommendations, bad shops get weeded out via word of mouth quickly
    2
  803. Never heard of this.
    2
  804. Hey Julio thanks for the tip! I'll have to take a look. I've love to get a nice carpet kit, but not they they keep getting soaked when it rains lol.
    2
  805. Yes https://youtu.be/AYvEZqmp7tc
    2
  806. R32 GTR correct
    2
  807. Insert Fck it, its Friday meme
    2
  808. There is one that is worse: the old EZ3.0 Subaru H6. I have a double jointed spark plug socket just for that engine. Its also funny/not funny that the "EZ3.0" is actually one of the most difficult Subaru engines to deal work on.
    2
  809. Sorry Yosef! Will correct the audio on the next vid.
    2
  810. Much appreciated! Thanks for the support!
    2
  811. good info!
    2
  812. I'd keep the 5k miles or 5 months to play it safe. Engine oil can also harbor contaminants such as acids and moisture which can damage the engine if left to sit.
    2
  813. Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it.
    2
  814. You're going to have to measure your existing shims to see how much thinner you need to go to get the correct valve clearance. Valve adjustments are always tedious and usually a major headache
    2
  815. Even better in person. Something is just so much better with Corollas from the motherland.
    2
  816. "new workforce doesn’t even want to work a normal job " Bingo New vehicles are disposable - double Bingo
    2
  817. Ask your community what local Subaru independent shop they recommend. I'd only go to the dealer for recalls
    2
  818. Glad you found this useful!
    2
  819. Glad to help!
    2
  820. Thats not a bad idea!
    2
  821. I personally dont own one of these chassis, but our shop services majority of these in the greater Bay Area. The key with the big oil pressure drops on right turns is the stickier the tire and the more skilled the driver, the bigger oil pressure drops.
    2
  822. Yeah I've heard people removing it for more power?
    2
  823. Injector pigtail are just EV1 pigtails. No rewiring required for the dizzy.
    2
  824. I am. Local pick up only.
    2
  825. Both sides were different and needed to be adjusted independently
    2
  826. Thanks!
    2
  827. There are still "flat earthers" out there lambasting us saying the RTV is "harmless"
    2
  828. https://youtu.be/7pDfOWkBN4E
    2
  829. EX 0.32 - 0.42mm AT IN 0.17 - 0.27mm (same as MT) I'd have the machine shop do the valve adjustment. Then recheck after the head is bolted back onto the block.
    2
  830.  @tobyrempel8952  You got it!
    2
  831. Awesome to hear my man! Glad you found this video useful!
    2
  832. I know of one working on a lower oil pan gasket. But majority of the engine must be sealed with silicone
    2
  833. Lol. Its terrible.
    2
  834. Maybe one day!
    2
  835. You're better off with a BRZ. People here locally are having to hire lawyers to have their GR86 engine failure warreny cases resolved.
    2
  836. Fremont, CA USA
    2
  837. There was more lightness to be had, as the interior still had some junk in it as well.
    2
  838. Vacuum bleeder or two man usually does the job. My good friends at a Subaru Specialty shop told me about this issue. Subaru Specific.
    2
  839. Completely agree! Also quiet at freeway speeds!
    2
  840. Great question! The exterior case is the same, but I am not sure if they made any internal revisions. The shifting definitely feels better on the new GR.
    2
  841. No concerns. Been running the pump for a long time now with a few driving events
    2
  842. I really wanted to build thing into an overlanding/rally car style. But the business has consumed all my time these days. So far on the rear I only installed shackles to lift the vehicle Since the wagon is leaf spring only for the rears you could send the leaf pack to a shop to have them redone and install some shocks for an ae86. The original owner's plan was to lower the car on AE86 Annex Suspension Coilovers
    2
  843.  @sanpatsuu  You can buy aftermarket ae86 suspension parts. Rear shocks should bolt in. The fronts you will have to convert to ae86 brakes/hubs
    2
  844. Well too bad lol!
    2
  845.  @slohachi6433  Thanks Onii Chan.
    2
  846. I bought mine from Colins Adapters, but the Mazworks one looks a lot better.
    2
  847. Hey Mike its Ezekiel. We are both in the NorCal Skylines Owners group. I have the 4 door R33 GTST with GTR front face conversion. Factory rebuild, in house deburr/lightening, and WPC +Cryo treat key parts is what we suggest for these transmissions. We've build many of these for time attack and track day cars already ezekiel@cmautohaus.com for business inquires.
    2
  848. 1000% Agree. Hope you are doing well Casey!
    2
  849. Its what makes a Subaru...a Subaru
    2
  850. Fill out our contact us form for business inquires. https://cmautohaus.com/pages/contact-us
    2
  851. I dont quite understand, but cheers!
    2
  852.  @DisabledCapsLock  Thanks for the tip! I will make note for next time
    2
  853. I have a customer R154 ready to build right now actually. Look forward to the video. Quick it I think it is 2nd gear that is scary to pull off and you risk breaking teeth. Use heat and pull up on the synchro and not the gear itself.
    2
  854. Much appreciated. I mean it sincerely. It takes a lot out of me to film, edit, upload, and share my life story. I really appreciate the kind words!
    2
  855. Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully more Subaru content to come!
    2
  856. Likewise I could have used this myself many years ago when I had a T50 and was actively tracking my car. Its tough because old school knowledge like this is literally dying with time as it is not getting documented.
    2
  857. Agreed!
    2
  858. Thanks for the response. With a full size U haul trailer and a 2300lbs-ish AE86 Corolla, even the U haul guy was surprised the truck gets by. We are aware of the gearing and take car not to lug or strain the truck too bad.
    2
  859.  @shahrukhbakar3248  100% Agree and I hope they find a solution soon because I really do like and recommend the cars, but having to clean the oil strainer at regular intervals is ridiculous.
    2
  860. Do not need to drain the trans to change the cover
    2
  861. When the engine is out, we usually do compression tests when the engine is on the floor for saftey, also because we need to installed the starter and bellhousing at times. We just hook up the starter straight to a battery and crank 8 times
    2
  862. Thank you sincerely for the kind words. Your comment reminded me one of the reasons I originally started this channel was because I was so sick of all the "fluff" on YouTube. I call it "nothing" shot in 4k.
    2
  863. Check out our podcast "The Autohaus Podcast" would love to have you as a guest in the future!
    2
  864. Thank you as always for the constant kind words and understandings (hiccups happen with older cars!)
    2
  865. Great to hear! Thank you for the support!
    2
  866. Too much rear brake bias. And no sleep. As some background, I was working 7 days for at least a few months prepping 3 cars
    2
  867. Few greater joys than a great Toyota Truck!
    2
  868. Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed! Make sure to subscribe for more!
    2
  869. Riko is a SOLID BOSS with so many gems of knowledge! It was a privilege to do this podcast!
    2
  870. Joining your local community is your best bet. Words spreads fast about bad shops
    2
  871. Glad this video was useful for you. Thanks for the support!
    2
  872. Yes on EJ and some FA engines I used to removed the engine mount bolts and tilt the engine. I forgot what I used to do for H6's, BUT I have a double jointed spark plug socket specifically for the 3.6 in the Tribeca. One socket for one engine, in one car, what tom foolery!
    2
  873. Already on Spotify. "The Autohaus Podcast"
    2
  874. Although definitely on the louder side for me! But then again I am getting old and like my personal cars quiet haha
    2
  875. That's the plan! Thank you!
    2
  876. If your pedal still fells soft, usually you cycle the pump with car off. Then bleed after wards
    2
  877. Subaru's oil consumption spec is 1qt in 1,300miles
    2
  878.  @NightKidBrandon  Better hope Toyota Corporate isnt reading the comments section.
    2
  879.  @cappucciwo  TBD. Kit is still in development.
    2
  880.  @ragnaroksangel  Ah! Apologies. Yes, press and hold.
    2
  881. Different models will vary on parts availibity. S2000 has such a strong following, it seems parts are still readily availible from Honda.
    2
  882. For your own saftey yes! In some cases, it also acts as a chassis brace.
    2
  883. No, not safely. Ive done it before. Far too much risk of accidental damage
    2
  884. Yes
    2
  885. No gasket. Should also be sealed with RTV
    2
  886. Join your local community and ask around for a shop recommendation. Word of mouth seems to be the strongest for these type of things
    2
  887. Hack saw is the brute force way, but they make specific oil filter "cutter" or "inspection" tools.
    2
  888. "The Extra RTV Would be Cleared Out Via Oil Filter And Regular Oil Change" Not true. Take a look at our oil strainer cleaning videos. The extra RTV gets stuck in the oil pick up screen
    2
  889. Work inquires to our contact us form please. https://cmautohaus.com/pages/contact-us
    2
  890. I didnt mind the sales people as they were a completely different department. It was the "mail it in" service advisors that were my issue. All the time goofing off on the internet (facebook, youtube) only to call techs lazy, dishonest, not capable.
    2
  891. Lol. Weird Sony Camera things
    2
  892. Thanks Casey! Hope all is well with you!
    2
  893. "Making it harder to open and operate small businesses with more regulations that hit small business harder than large operations" I've owned my shop 6 years now. The public has no idea how hard it is to own a small business in CA. Perfect example - if you loot my store everyday, the law will not punish you. Even better. I file a report everyday that our shop is being looted, the authorities stop taking in new requests from me.
    2
  894. Much appreciated!
    2
  895. Find a local independant shop that does right by you and support them as much as you can. More than just money. Maybe they need mentoring, tax/business help, family help, ect. We are people too.
    2
  896. Likewise I am in love the the truck. I got a BIG offer to sell last year and I backed out at the last minute. Absolutely love the truck and could not let go. Get a trailer hitch and the blue Sumo springs. Helps a lot with the chassis stiffness and handling!
    2
  897.  @davidagcole  I dont think this is an official car. He bought the kit and had it installed seperatly in CA.
    2
  898.  @86spirit60  Yes on the BMC contact. I previously had a camry master and did not have an issue and I mistakenly told everyone there was no issue. Fast forward and I am back to an oem ae86 BMC and it contacts. I cut the level sensor off my cap and I have to unbolt the 3 strut top bolts to take the cap on and off.
    2
  899. LOL Gotta keep it JDM style dawg
    2
  900. Much appreciated!
    2
  901. Glad you found this useful!
    2
  902.  @jasoncee666  Good question. Not quite sure if the two share similarites like place of manufacturer, failure rate, ect But you bring up a great point
    2
  903. Run 5w30 and watch the oil temps before decide you need an aftermarket oil cooler or not. Id run 1/2qt overfill on the street and 1 full qt over fill at drift events.
    2
  904. Worn input shaft or bearing is very common.
    2
  905. Yessir I've build multiple W58s and multiple different generations/variations. My first 5 episodes of the podcast talk about transmission swaps/parts availability ect... https://youtu.be/krBozn_yxXU
    2
  906. Ha! Subaru introduced a 3rd one: too much rtv AND oil leaks - I've done so many front timing cover reseals with excess RTV squeeze out like bacon on both sides from factory (and leaking oil)
    2
  907. You check our website and email us for inquires for work. But up front, if you are not ready to spend $3500 on a rebuild, consider and alternative.
    2
  908. More come!
    2
  909. Its still been hit and miss with 2023 MFD dates.
    2
  910. The forums say the mounting legs are in different positions for the Z32. I have a pair of late model Z32 reman calipers comming this week to find out for sure.
    2
  911. Definitely more NVH. The close ratios are excellent. Worth it IMO if you plan for big power/track/drift. Check out the swap process https://youtu.be/BT1Z8dEOEgM
    2
  912. Nope. I kept to to myself. Afriad of retaliation and I could not afford to loose pay. If you are a tech you constantly work with injuries - litterally cannot afford to take time off
    2
  913. Ahhaha. The owner picked up his car today. We both mentioned how 4 months few by. Email BGRS support for the Snap back hat!
    2
  914. There are 2 oil return tubes in the lower oil pan. One big angled oil pick up bolted to the front of the engine
    2
  915.  @YourBestFriend822  Id always drain the oil from the drain plug on these cars as the "junk" usually settles at the bottom of the pan.
    2
  916. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  917. We were recommended by Nik Romano Racing to use Motul 300LS. For a stock LSD the recommended weight is 75w90 plus friction modifier for the LSD. We are an Amsoil dealer and Severe Gear 75w90 and Sliplock Friction Modifier is what I would recommend for LSD
    2
  918. Will do! Thanks for the feedback.
    2
  919. Look forward to Hosin's next one!
    2
  920. What is love?
    2
  921.  @Dflowen  AMG V12 like in Pangani or Shauguar Rubbish V12?

  922. Answered in pt 2 https://youtu.be/MkfcPK2CcEw
    2
  923. NO Tomei baffle. Use the SYMS baffle
    2
  924. Thank you for the kind words and encouragement Eric! Happy new years!
    2
  925. TheShedLife has a video of him replacing the input bearing just by taking off the bellhousing. Ive done it once and had an issue. I recommend the service manual way and tearing down the entire transmission
    2
  926. Fremont, CA. You can fill out the "contact us" form on our website. cmautohaus.com Beware we are very expensive for transmission rebuilds, but we also are proud of our BUILT transmissions for historic and time attack cars. Rare gearsets and discontinued parts are common for us. https://youtu.be/KejALa78KGs
    2
  927. Back in the old days! Young kids dont even know what Oldsmobile is!
    2
  928. I'd look more towards the brake light switch failed or being out of adjustment
    2
  929.  @screamingstrings76  Yup. I already have a customer did the 86 front face conversion on his BRZ. Confused the hell out of me the first time.
    2
  930. Early video. Still learning. This comment made my day haha!
    2
  931. "higher ups want to save a dime on custodial labor, at the cost of their employees’ health and welfare at the workplace" Lol how many of us can relate!
    2
  932. Thanks!
    2
  933. clutch fork has a chance of falling off
    2
  934. Using the long puller on the right side on the bench
    2
  935. Hey my buddy in college was named Tu Long! Small world
    2
  936. Find a new career. Trades are dying for people and pay very well - just steer clear from anything automotive.
    2
  937. Yes with my AE86. My 911 got stuck in reverse gear that morning so I took my alternate.
    2
  938. Thanks for the love Joel!
    2
  939. No official response, although Im sure Toyota/Subaru is aware of the issue as they made some updates on the later 2023s.
    2
  940. You could contact DW for the draw. And yes even Skyline guys upgrade to an external fuel pump relay in part due to wire gauge.
    2
  941. Thank you for the kind words, but please do not visit unannounced just to chat (I attend many community events off hours where I am more than happy to chat). We are a small, busy shop, facing financial difficulty and employee turn over.
    2
  942. Glad to be of service! Community first!
    2
  943. Visit Japan and look around. Apparently back in hey day, the RWB HQ would be a boys club full of beer and starry eyed porn stars and female fans
    2
  944. As I type this, there is AE86 in the shop with a leaking pinion seal because the previous shop did not drive it to the proper depth.
    2
  945. This video was shot a long time ago. But I believe it was the same brand as that battery. So Odyssey or Braille. One of those companies.
    2
  946. Will do in the future. Thank you!
    2
  947. Bingo. If you have to deep dig for a common swap like this, I dont consider it "documented"
    2
  948. I appreciate the feedback James and thank you I will reach out when need be.
    2
  949. I just realized BB stands for "Bad Boy." I should have that pink Vegeta shirt made for you saying "Bad Boy" instead of "Bad Man"
    2
  950. Glad they got to you safely and thank you for the support!
    2
  951. Thanks for you kind words and the watch. Will definitely post more updates.
    2
  952. LOL the techs can barley remember to put in the body plugs, Im doing half the PDI at my shop all the time!
    2
  953. One idea that RB26's (Skylines) commonly use is a catch can system that returns to the sump as RB26s are notorious for pumping too much oil into the PCV system Catch can/air oil separator may fill up too quickly and negate the 1qt overfill, but someone needs to actually test this.
    2
  954. Who is we? Because I can name at least 5 cases here in the Bay Area. 2 of them street driven, non tracked cars @sharmaLlama 
    2
  955. Thanks for the support and participating!
    2
  956. Lol like a religion! Thank you transmission Jesus!
    2
  957. Hey JP please send business inquiries to ezekiel@cmautohaus.com. We tell customers to wait at least 2000 miles (Or a few track days) before removing the oil pan to clean the oil strainer.
    2
  958. Yes. We recently did an RTV inspection on a MFD 4/24 and the oil had a significant amount of RTV in it.
    2
  959. Exactly. We spent all the time setting us Grants car lol
    2
  960. I keep seeing you everywhere Allie. Thanks for the support!
    2
  961. potential to leak
    2
  962. Glad you found this useful!
    2
  963. Glad you found this vid useful. Cheers!
    2
  964. In the Bay Area, EV or Autonomous car companies have been the most popular transition for former dealer techs. I think most skilled trades (HVAC, Electrical, ect) here know how difficult the auto trade is and welcome former techs to bring their skill set into their trade.
    2
  965. Thank you for the kind words. For valve springs there is a Blue Point tool that you hit with a hammer. Also works for 4AGE 16v
    2
  966. Thanks for the support! Yes we have a lot of these in the field already including one car with over 10,000 miles on the Ultimate TOB kit
    2
  967.  @CAFLoser777  Im not sure if Chris' car still makes that noise. We just put in a new ring and pinion (rear diff) and I think* the noise went away for him. I can double check.
    2
  968. You can fill out the form on our website. https://cmautohaus.com/pages/contact-us
    2
  969. Comming soon!
    2
  970.  @boedtsieae86  Much appreciated! Lots more to come!
    2
  971. Good question. Not quite sure if the two share similarites like place of manufacturer, failure rate, ect But you bring up a great point
    2
  972. Thanks for the tip. Been fighting set up on this car for a long long time! And you are absolutely right about the car starting to slide right off braking.
    2
  973. Same method. Clutch slave will just be in a different spot
    2
  974. Did you see the TV on the left and the Beer on the right?!?!?!
    2
  975.  @SKOPE915  ezekiel.lee@yahoo.com
    2
  976. Thanks for the support!
    2
  977. You can send them this playlist. I've dropped at least 20 oil pans by now. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWD_nkVFKkaPRHm0rUOf26ZGqDmHHKnwX
    2
  978. Shoot me an email of what car/engine And what type of driving you plan to use the car for. ezekiel.lee@yahoo.com. Thanks!
    2
  979. The owner actually wanted a more "muted/mature" exhaust tone for this car to keep it low key. Otherwise catless and HKS Hi-power would have been the Hot Boi opiton lol
    2
  980. Yes. I believe you can report ANY business to OSHA, even if you dont work there
    2
  981. Glad you found this useful!
    2
  982. Hey! Glad you found this video useful. I am thank for the the people who have taught me my trade and I am happy to share my knowledge
    2
  983. Great idea! I had a small convo with T3 this morning and they will take me suggestions and input from this video and may make some revisions.
    2
  984. JSP Mounts, Cusco mounts, and a metal undertray and you should be fine
    2
  985. Glad you liked it!
    2
  986. Precisely. Needed to dial in the prop valve correctly
    2
  987. The new WRX has not seemed to have the reported GR86 engine issues for some reason
    2
  988.  @chanceharvey3172  I think the wrong people are working on your car. Locally we have a few great Subaru speciality shops, but they hardly work on 86 chassis' - the 86 deifnitly has its own quirks apart from Subaru .
    2
  989. Definitely in the future! Many requests for 20v.
    2
  990. Thank you for the kind words. Although any AE86 owner will tell you it is equally as much of a gift as it is a curse.
    2
  991. Its unfortunately another waste of RTV LOL
    2
  992. Aluminum. I would recommend the Breeze Fab Panhard and 4 links over this unit
    2
  993. Use a pry bar against the front sway bar to pry the transmission back. I always use anti seize on the dowel pins to prevent the trans from getting stuck to the engine. Last resort is to wedge a chisel or screw driver to separate the engine and trans.
    2
  994. It will spill little. I have the install vid in editing and comming soon!
    2
  995. ezekiel.lee@yahoo.com
    2
  996. One of the best potential techs I know works as a UPS driver - the pay and the benefits are just too good.
    2
  997. I sincerely appreciate it, but some B to B constructive criticism: I have to dig through your social to even get a glimpse of what those headers look like (if I am looking at the right ones?) It also brings up a ton of questions: how do I buy, pay, lead times, ect. There is a business analogy that states when a customer goes to pay you dont tell them to go across the street to swipe their credit card. Make it as easy as possible for your customer. My advise: whether it be a webstore or YouTube playlist. Make it as easy as possible for customers to see your products and services.
    2
  998. Battle Garage RS. The T50 parts in the video that you do not see on their website, you have to email them to source for you.
    2
  999. I wouldnt try. Theres a few options floating around. Email me. I think I have a genuine TRD shifter Id like to sell. ezekiel.lee@yahoo.com
    2
  1000. Smart man. Nothing replaces experience, wisdom, and the school of hard knocks.
    2
  1001. Glad you found this video Scott! Yes I host a podcast as well and would love to sit down and talk history with your Dad. Although I've honestly been afraid to ask because I really respect his time and he is an intimidating guy!
    2
  1002. Thanks for the watch and thanks for sharing your story. That definitely sucks!
    2
  1003. search T50 rebuild kit
    2
  1004.  @Ajay-eo4cs  No. https://youtu.be/3_uHTWKT4yA?si=90z60p2mwbM37niX
    2
  1005. Good idea on filming inside the pick up. We already have a borescope camera at the shop. Your dealer labor rate must also be far less than ours. Toyota dealers around our are are $200+/hr minimum depending on where in the bay area.
    2
  1006. In 2008 I worked for a Mercedes Dealer whos hourly rate was $190/hr. My master tech friend was making $21/hr.
    2
  1007. Nice
    2
  1008. Not all of them. Just most I've worked with.
    2
  1009. Only special tool needed is a press. If you are not used to transmission work it is VERY intimidating. Verus has instructions, but I would also photo document everything you do and print the FSM instruction.
    2
  1010. Did a shop did this for you as I highly doubt there was absolutely nothing that got trapped in the pick up tube screen.  @wagjkproduction755 
    2
  1011. But you have to pronounce Japan with a lisp and a stutter.
    2
  1012. Kouki power rack. We took the top hardline off to clear the oil pan.
    2
  1013.  @Adolcysf  Not for the down pipe, but for the oil pan
    2
  1014. Thank you for the kind words. Working hard to make it happen!
    2
  1015. Thanks for the support. I put in a sponsorship app for Magnusen in hopes of getting at least a discount on their Supercharger kit. I may just have to pull the trigger myself.
    2
  1016. Yeah the SQ water adapter is really cool, it just needs to be made with options for US cars
    2
  1017. Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you enjoy them!
    2
  1018. Painted myself. Each color is a different layer masked off. I think you can hydrodip these days - much easier
    2
  1019. Proud of boxer
    2
  1020.  @19KiloM1A1  Glad you find the videos useful!
    2
  1021. https://jpnz.co.nz/
    2
  1022. I dont think anyone wants to tear open their engine on their brand new cars - hell, we dont even want the dealers to be touching our engines
    2
  1023. Leak down is the best. Although tough if you dont have a good supply of compressed air - our shop compressor used to be too small and you cant hear the leaks if the compress has to run all the time.
    2
  1024. Im reading that you also have to stretch yourself beyond your job duties - whether you like to (or get paid for it) or not
    2
  1025. Honestly "guddentite"should suffice, but I imagine the FSM torque spec would also be ok.
    2
  1026. Much appreciated! Anything in particular you would like to see more of?
    2
  1027.  @irvingc.towers4849  There is honestly nothing unique in alignment with GTS/SR5/ or AE86 in general. Only for aftermarket parts or competition use alignment specs can things get interesting.
    2
  1028. Much appreciated!
    2
  1029.  @Carlos-kk4nw  The front bumper is indeed wider so there are some gaps. The GTR fenders are wider and headlights are a different shape
    2
  1030. Thanks for the kind words man!
    2
  1031. Agreed! Plenty of fun streetable power. But I totally envy the low end of a 7AG!
    2
  1032. Glad you found this vid useful!
    2
  1033. A LONG route through the North bay planned by Breakfast Club. They plan to hold the next "Tokyo Calling" event in Sept 2022.
    2
  1034. Glad you found this useful. Please feel free to ask questions! As I am still refining this swap still. Held up great so far after many miles and 2 track days.
    2
  1035. Mazda Y611-17-242
    2
  1036. Im actually an advocate of transmission swaps
    2
  1037. Before your first track day or 30k miles
    2
  1038. Yes https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/limited-quantity-rubber-cork-version-1-battle-garage-frtv-fa20-fa24-oil-pan-gasket?_pos=2&_sid=13e7d4c29&_ss=r
    2
  1039. Correct. Just dont over do it
    2
  1040.  @880frxgerardobeltran9  Tough call. I'd look around, see what other guys are doing.
    2
  1041. Apologies for the sound!
    2
  1042. QL05 Keihin popped up with nothing anywhere. Luckily DanST responded back just in time.
    2
  1043. Or ignore it and keep washing it off like I did lol.
    2
  1044. Does not. Needs custom fabrication.
    2
  1045. Next year should get even better. Look forward to it!
    2
  1046. Normal
    2
  1047. The oil light is a "dummy" on/off lamp. It will NOT show if the car has an oil pressure issue. If there is only 1-2qts of oil total in the engine, the light still will not turn on.
    2
  1048. Much appreciated I think someone in the comments below listed an alternative O2S that wire length reaches.
    2
  1049. Shouldnt need to on a factory engine, but yes on our engine rebuilds, we typically do the first oil change after 20 - 30mins and another at 500 miles
    2
  1050. Yes I would bet your valve lash is on the loose side if the tapping noise is from your valve train.
    2
  1051. Thanks for the tip! Yes I remember when I worked on the Corner Balanced car his pan was not modified.
    2
  1052. Yes its the same story in the Bay Area. Owners locally have all had to hired lemon law lawyers.
    2
  1053. Only looking at the gear faces will tell, but typically once a whine develops, it will whine forever, even with proper set up afterwards
    2
  1054. Glad you enjoyed the video and got some nostalgia out of it! Thanks for the watch!
    2
  1055. Excellent summary. 100% agreed.
    2
  1056. This is exactly what is happening in the enthusiast market looking for "golden era" cars. 10 years ago, a $5000 enthusiast model may fetch $30,000+ today
    2
  1057.  @krayzee11  The deal breaker on the Impulse kit for me is that you have to cut a BIG hole in the tunnel. Otherwise if you had a race/track car, Impulse is the way to go due to availability of aftermarket upgrades and how cheap/readily available FRS trans are. J160 is the more "straight forward" way to go, but I forsee them doomed to be like the T50 where we run out of "good" used spares and no one knows how to rebuild them
    2
  1058. Thanks for the support and kind words! YES BG is definitely community first!
    2
  1059. Thank you!
    2
  1060. I get where you're comming from, but its a tough call - low priced FR layout in manual trans? Isnt it just the Miata?
    2
  1061. Excess RTV is comming from the entire engine, but least of all from the lower oil pan. (Entire engine is sealed with excess RTV from the factory)
    2
  1062. Thank you for the kind words and support! Definitely means a lot to me and our staff.
    2
  1063. Yes, the seals can also fail internally
    2
  1064. Taka w/ long blonde hair was GOD mode era for me.
    2
  1065. Likewise Koji gifted me this copy. I am on the look out for the next one!
    2
  1066.  @drjk7565  Wild. Yes I've heard a long time ago Toyota use to "care" with their "Toyota Care" program. That is definitely not the case now based on the local customers I get, fed up with the dealership experience.
    2
  1067. Yeah the car needs a proper tune and not just an off the shelf flash. IIRC intake and header back. Just minor mods.
    2
  1068. "without the GMs approval you unfortunately can't unclog the toilet to to company policy" At the dealer, I may have even been repremanded for unclogging the toliet instead of working on a vehicle. Good times!
    2
  1069. I have not personally, but many in my community swear by WPC for gear sets. If you need anything from Verus we are dealers! Let us know!
    2
  1070. In my experience If a cust threatens lawsuit or actually get a lawyer warranty work moves pretty quickly for you after that
    2
  1071. 15 psi isnt much. Id do a leak down and see where the compression loss is comming from.
    2
  1072. None for sale sorry
    2
  1073. Yes stock cams. Note: the bottom end is very tired at the time of this dyno riun
    2
  1074.  @Arunkumar-bg5xk  Any premium 0w20 is fine with an oil cooler. 5w30 has been recommended for forced induction guys. Never track your car w/ out can oil cooler
    2
  1075.  @louief857  1000% agree. OEM wheel studs are garbage
    2
  1076. For a T50 its both extremes: the cheapest 75w90 is great OR Amsoil 75w90/Motul 300. Skip everything in between. Absolutely skip Redline gear oils
    2
  1077.  @protofreak9518  Big ask! But I will do my best. The correct bearings I bought from eBay sellers from the UAE. AMP Gear has a good explanation of S13/S14 and year to year parts differences.
    2
  1078. Keep the lines connected. I open and close the bleeder on the slave only.
    2
  1079. For 6 speed transmission only. Bleed a 5speed as normal
    2
  1080. Sold seperatly
    2
  1081.  @DreamHachi  Stay posted. I'll keep this in mind. We are located in Fremont, CA
    2
  1082. I hope you find your calling. Running a small automotive business is wearing on me...have definitely lost a lot of passion since my 1st year of running the business.
    2
  1083. Ive been through some shit in my poor immigrant childhood, but my closest mental break down was finishing my bachelors while working full time and taking care of my father all at the same time. 7am wake up, get on the train for 9am class 9am - 3pm Class 3 - 4pm train home, drive to work 430pm - 1am work 2 - 330am homework Rinse and repeat.
    2
  1084. Yes! And in stock!
    2
  1085. Leave the trans alone. Measure at the output shaft. Match that measurement at the diff. Equal, but opposite ie. if your trans is 4 degrees down, your diff should be 4 degrees up.
    2
  1086. The Tomei baffle has proven to make the oil starvation worse. The SYMS helps with oil starvation but does not solve it. I have a customer testing the Killer B set up this weekend so we'll see how that goes.
    2
  1087. Thanks for the tip! Hoping to give this car the full GTR exterior treatment soon
    2
  1088. Yes, push it by hand in the end to bleed the slave cylinder itself
    2
  1089. Thank you again for the opportunity Riko!
    2
  1090. Glad you found this useful. This job definitely sucks!
    2
  1091. Wild, because both of those are super toxic to humans
    2
  1092. PANIC Made Axles!!! Highly recommended
    2
  1093. Very cheap insurance for your life!
    2
  1094. Thanks for your support! Yes, I'm sure we will find the answer to the oil starvation issue at some point.
    2
  1095. Ahahaha. All the headaches come to me!
    2
  1096. Yes J160 in stock form should still be fine as a road race/street transmission. 200whp seems to be common for BEAMS guys now.
    2
  1097. My last job was working for the government. I could have had a cushy lifetime retirement and retired at 54. But people in my dept were literally trying to burn as much time as possible just to see retirement. I am not built to be a mindless time waster.
    2
  1098. Another term for silicone - used to seal the engine together
    2
  1099. Best way is to press it off and feel/visual inspection. If the counter shaft has any back and forth play at all, bearings are bad.
    2
  1100. That is an EXCELLENT question with no good answer. Some repairs you are forced to go to the dealer as only they have the equipment. Other repairs, you roll the dice with an independent shop - even for my shop, there are many repairs that we are not well suited to handle. But as you've seen in this video, I've outline how we've come to this current state of affairs.
    2
  1101. Thanks man! Always try to help inform and to do my best!
    2
  1102. Sorry, but I bet you even Land Rover techs dont want to touch that differential
    2
  1103. Bingo. We are already cresting the hill for a crash. My customers already have no decent place to have their "regular" daily driver cars to be fixed and the dealerships have all failed them
    2
  1104. We should make a REMIX song on all the new friends we find in the oil strainer: white hair, yellow speck, Scotch Brite.
    2
  1105. Thanks and welcome!
    2
  1106. Haha Mr. Peter has asked before. We built the C-Clip modified J160 for him.
    2
  1107.  @NickPahls  Awesome good to know!
    2
  1108. Every one of these is a customer car, just have not received a request from a BRZ owner yet. Although by the numbers, far more GR86s were sold than BRZ's
    2
  1109.  @itaybutavia1204  Will do! Sincerely appreciate you following along!
    2
  1110. Hahha glad you enjoyed!
    2
  1111. And it sucked if you owned the Toyota version!
    2
  1112. Tool and tool boxes are so cheap second hand now because so many techs are quitting.
    2
  1113. Remove and reinstall
    2
  1114. Its both. Also complex. We are looking for a basic independent system that idles up when A/C is on.
    2
  1115. Thanks for the tip!
    2
  1116. Thank you! Will do!
    2
  1117. No. You need to remove the oil pan and physically remove the excess RTV from the oil pick up screen.
    2
  1118. Its just a daily driver you should be ok. But any sort of canyon/track driving and the engine needs a lot more supporting mods and care.
    2
  1119. Will do! We are excited to put this set up to work on track next year!
    2
  1120. Thanks for the feedback. My understanding of pinion/driveline angles are very basic and I would love to see a video on this topic (And specifically for this chassis) made by someone who has a mastery. Another thing to note on this chassis is that the rear diff flange is biased to the passenger side which adds to the working angles as noted by Assassin10000 https://www.club4ag.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21471
    2
  1121. Thank you Jon! Unbelievably affordable for the parts and quality you get in this kit.
    2
  1122. Thanks for the kind words and the watch!
    2
  1123. I think it was even worse at one point
    2
  1124. The dash pot on the throttle body to stop the throttle plate from slamming shut was not adjusted correctly on Chris' car. (The thing we talk about at the beginning of the video "what is that?") The next time we have a throttle body apart I will make a video!
    2
  1125.  @Paul4din  2 screws hold the throttle plate to the shaft. The shaft broke right where one screw goes. Screw came off and got sucked in next time car was started.
    2
  1126. Robot? Mistake? Its Skynet bro...
    2
  1127. If you are just trying to protect your oil pan, one of these should be a simpler solution https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/ae86-aero-underpanel https://www.occamotif.com/product-page/ae86-under-engine-cover
    2
  1128. Absolutly
    2
  1129. Ah bingo. 50% split.
    2
  1130. yes
    2
  1131. Yes I am jealous of Chris and yes I need a 16v harness from PANIC in my life.
    2
  1132. Its definitely possible. Thanks for the support!
    2
  1133. I didnt want to deal with the cutting headache so I bought another set of headers that I know would fit.
    2
  1134. I was working on retrofitting an ae86 bearing and custom carrier, but unfortunately free time and skill set are not on my side.
    2
  1135. Bleeder valve needs to always face up, as air wants to rise
    2
  1136. Thanks for the support! Not absolutely required, but highly recommended as these vehicles are now aging and the knuckles have to be removed anyways.
    2
  1137. Can't wait for Riko's Garage. Add us to the VIP list please!
    2
  1138. Ditto. It is a headache.
    2
  1139. Completely agree. Eric is a solid dude. G-UNIT!
    2
  1140. I'd have a trusted 3rd party drop the pan to clean the pick up for 100% peace of mind. Warranty claims are still a fight. Extended warranties can also be a joke: I've seen an "engine" warranty not cover low compression. Rip off of the century.
    2
  1141.  @LithiumV  I'd send Subaru or Toyota corperate an email and ask for sure. Explain why you want to do it. Have the shop document their findings including pictures.
    2
  1142. Thank you for the kind words and the watch
    2
  1143. Solid advice Onii Chan!
    2
  1144. S-chassis are rare to see on track in NorCal, but I'd love to do a back to back comparison!
    2
  1145. Mild 4ag: Martelius Group A header + Martelius Fast Road catback. Heavily modified 4AG/7AG/BEAMS/F2xC swap Martelius Group A XL and Martelius HO catback
    2
  1146. Glad you found this useful. Yes, I made this video as all the other fuel pump replacement videos for this chassis were of very little help
    2
  1147. Much appreciated and thank you for the shirt. We have hats in stock now, just need to list them on the webstore!
    2
  1148. Man a check list video when buying a Subaru would be KILLER! I will put it on our videos to do list. Thank you for the suggestion!
    2
  1149. Subaru USA has an in house foot long tube of Three bond that is light grey in color that dealer techs use (different from what the factory uses). Its specifically the big Three bond caulking tube, not the tooth paste tube of grey RTV (two different products)
    2
  1150. Thank you for sharing and glad to hear that you are thriving Brother!
    2
  1151. Fremont, CA
    2
  1152. When I get the project running and reliable I can get you a quote. Stay in touch!
    2
  1153. Independent shops (including myself) are already facing this problem. The answer to retain good technicians is to match the big dealership pay and benefits package - a very tough ask for a mom and pop independent, but that seems to be the answer
    2
  1154. Any other trade. Most former techs or shop owners in the Bay Area go to an EV company.
    2
  1155. Glad you found this vid useful. Yes, first time around, I was search EVERYWHERE on where those black washer went.
    2
  1156. Pokedex states "Missing No."
    2
  1157.  @maxpham  Good to know. Sneak peek, the following week's podcast guest does not even have a facebook haha.
    2
  1158. Not needed but highly recommended when doing true rears!
    2
  1159. Any translucent mutipurpose grease will be fine
    2
  1160. Thanks for confirming!
    2
  1161. Will do! Much appreciated!
    2
  1162. Dealerships if only the dealer can repair it (computer replacements, reprogramming) Otherwise an independent shop that your community stands with is your best bet
    2
  1163. How are you going to extend the warrenty?
    2
  1164. Yes, a company had already done it for the FRS/BRZ market. It is not popular I think because reliability was poor.
    2
  1165. I'd ask your local community for a shop rec. PNW should be Toyota heaven. ....should be*
    2
  1166. So your oil pan got pulled and resealed twice then? I'm hoping once a recall comes out, all my oil pan drop customers can get reimbursed by Subaru/Toyota so we are not doing double the work. I mention this as I've fixed other dealership mistakes on customer cars that they have been able to get my ROs reimbursed by the dealership
    2
  1167. No body modifications needed with Wseries swap. W or J160 would both work well for you.
    2
  1168. 2nd oil change
    2
  1169. Ditto. It took a LONG time and A LOT of research before I remotely understood what to do.
    2
  1170. 17" is HUGE for an ae86. So unless you have a full on competition car. I'd suggest 16" max
    2
  1171. I 90% think I would have just gone home, but I knew that would spoil Mark and Tan's day
    2
  1172.  @geardude8772  https://youtu.be/CWO4cj0wElA Here is a review from 2 years ago. I'll try and do a more recent review. We may actually give this car a refresh in the coming months.
    2
  1173. I dont recommend Subaru cars to anyone. I dont believe in Subaru of America's morals, how they treat their employees, or the build quality of their cars.
    2
  1174. Track and touge cars NEED an oil pan baffle and oil strainer cleaning. You can still perform an RTV inspection on a used car - Id still check every oil change was done at the manufacture specified intervals
    2
  1175. The customer says having this kit is like having a "cheat code" when drifting. Although this kit is very extreme for a street car.
    2
  1176. Who knows where the money goes! Sometimes even the build is left in disrepair!
    2
  1177. No updates. I know PANIC is super backed up. I've been using Bermuda Wire (local to us). He made the BEAMS swap harness for the customer car we did.
    2
  1178. I think the even bigger issue is that the public has completely lost trust in car dealerships. And instead of trying to find the specific issues that caused the lack of trust, dealers have customers fill out BS customer service surveys for KPI
    2
  1179. Really common is the fork moving side to side and hitting the throw out bearing. Easy way to duplicate the noise is A/C on and at low idle. Aftermarket parts like the clutch can make the noise louder. If this is the case, I dont think there is anything to worry about if everything was assembled correctly.
    2
  1180.  @Ccortanaa  Bingo. Best thing to do is ask your local community for a shop that regularly works on the new 86 chassis. Any decent shop should own a borescope. Permanent fix is to drop the oil pan and do the oil strainer cleaning - should be fine for the life of the engine.
    2
  1181. Thanks for the heads up! Mr. John corrected us as well.
    2
  1182. Here is a 10/23 MFD date https://youtu.be/ZXCLRjeKaoU With late 2023 MFD dates, it has still been hit or miss. I still recommend a cleaning and baffle install for canyon/track use customers
    2
  1183. Luckily I saw the hose from hell had previously been replaced! And yes, Im sure like most cars, the most difficult task becomes mundane once you've done it a few times.
    2
  1184. Any premium synthetic oil. 0w20 for a daily. 5w30 for a canyon or track car
    2
  1185. This was random AF lol
    2
  1186. Appreciate your constant support!
    2
  1187. If you need a stable paycheck, government seems to be the way to go. Since I was a child, my father told me I'd never make it in corporate because I refuse to kiss ass. Exactly why I couldnt cut it as a government employee lol.
    2
  1188. I dont believe so for oem. They just press out. I have an example in this video. https://youtu.be/Ch9JwaTaEYQ
    2
  1189. https://youtu.be/2ZCzLtIhMzw If you plan to track the car Id drop the pan at 1000 miles and clean te oil strainer
    2
  1190. Such a humble guy and unassuming car. I am not surprised to hear someone call him a legend.
    2
  1191. "poor product" and "awful work environment " just about sums up being an Automotive Technican
    2
  1192. Sincerely appreciate the feedback. Really unfortunate to hear as Subaru has such as loyal customer base, yet you guys are getting let down.
    2
  1193. Custom hi rise headers. I believe they are CX racing and definitely not ideal.
    2
  1194. Keep the 2 piece. Replace the center bearing.
    2
  1195. Thank you for the well written response and for the watch! I am doing my best as a small business owner, but man has it taken a toll on me.
    2
  1196. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  1197. Every dealer is going to handle these RTV cases different which is unfortunate, because dealers who handle it poorly (ie blame the customer) ruin the name of the Toyota brand as a whole
    2
  1198. Spoiler. We have something special in the works......
    2
  1199. EDITED* Issue happened on the first day after install ONLY This owner had the same issue with this TODA flywheel. I noticed the Exedy LW is about 2 lbs heavier and does not have this issue - but 2lbs may be enough of a difference.
    2
  1200.  @bhavneetsaini7941  No the owner of the car works next door. Has not had any issues with the flywheel since the first day. I imagine the ECU needs to relearn throttle postion as we disconnected the battery
    2
  1201. T3 is aware of this and trying to find a solution. In the interm, I've probably used these 100 times by now and still LOVE them!
    2
  1202. Thanks for the support! Will do!
    2
  1203. I believe its covered in pt7, lowering the center bearing and getting rear diff bushings to correct the driveline and pinion angles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8oPjLFTzUA&t=107s
    2
  1204. My rim may have already been bent. The 880 freeway here in Norcal litterally has crater sized pot holes
    2
  1205. Chris Van had his throttle blade snap in half on a track day with me once and thats how we learned. Also echoed by our local spec Miata guys. Lots of Toyota TB's have a "dashpot" to damped throttle closing, Chris's was adjust wrong so it did not work.
    2
  1206. Generic Red from Maaco. I knew this would be a drivers/track car for me so "nice" paint work would be a waste.
    2
  1207.  @decoyla  I'd honestly prefer you got the correct metric version. Multiple unnecessary fittings just add failure points and bulk.
    2
  1208. Too soon to tell if there is limit to how much excessive rtv can exist.
    2
  1209. Thank you for the kind words and the watch!
    2
  1210. There is a huge disconnect between corporate and the dealerships: I remember our field service tech was absolutely shocked to hear our shop foreman was paid regular ol' flat rate
    2
  1211. Im curious what changes the 2024/25 MY will have in store. Perhaps in 2025 Toyota will really put their 3cyl in the GR86 and say sayonara to the Subaru engine nonsense.
    2
  1212. Thanks for the watch and support!
    2
  1213. Looks like you are actually first!
    2
  1214. GR86 is the only Subaru I would buy. Everything else is a quirky headache when people just need a commuter car
    2
  1215. Glad this helped you. Lack of info on Skylines still despite how popular they are.
    2
  1216. Life and priorities change and I totally get it.
    2
  1217. Thanks Max! Hope you are well and the T-Shirt made it to you!
    2
  1218. The sidedrafts need to be refreshed as the car had a fuel related misfire, but I road tested plenty just up and down the street. Super fun car! I
    2
  1219. Thanks for the kind words!
    2
  1220. If I get a 20v customer car in the shop I will do my best to film!
    2
  1221. Every first Friday we have an AE86 meet either here or 86c Bakery in Milpitas
    2
  1222. Swang Biz / Devil Run Danny.
    2
  1223. Thanks for the kind words!
    2
  1224. So glad you could make it out Casey! I had an absolute blast and it was great seeing you!
    2
  1225. Just you wait. I have a future video in the works: I once worked at a dealer that did not have clean drinking water or adequate bathroom facilities.
    2
  1226. Approx 22-24 combined mpg. BUT I dont drive conservatively (LOL) and I dont think the Weber 32/36 on the car is tuned quiet correctly.
    2
  1227. Just like regular shock bump stops I bet you can just cut a round section of a sumo spring to make it shorter to fit.
    2
  1228. Same pedals. This is an original Manual car
    2
  1229. Quit. Any other trade needs you. All other trades pay better.
    2
  1230.  @impsquared  I have a few different tools and a few different options. Stuffing wet bread/newspaper or grease behind the pilot bearing and using a socket extension and hammer will force it out. I personally have a slide hammer and a threaded puller to do pilot bearings.
    2
  1231.  @impsquared  Its very old, so I;ll try and find a PN, but I just searched for a tool with the correct ID for the bearing.
    2
  1232. XD
    2
  1233. Yeah he might have actually won round 3
    2
  1234. Yes. A plug and play system for retail sale. At some point and some where....
    2
  1235. For sure to run the Collins or LOJ kit you need to run their in house flywheel. If you are making your own adapter, I am not sure as I've never seen a 350z flywheel before to compare.
    2
  1236. Try 20k in scanners, osilloscope, and other diagnotics tools just to do a brake job on a modern car.
    2
  1237. In one of the video parts we talk about the crotch vent. We ended up blocking off the vent to allow more air flow to the face vent. P.S. I found the crotch vent doesnt even work in my unmodified personal car. And yes! On a RHD car I imagine only the A/C lines to the compressor would be different.
    2
  1238. You got it! Glad you fund this useful
    2
  1239. Thank YOU for the watch!
    2
  1240. Expensive AF. Z32 trans swap recommended
    2
  1241. Thank you so much for the kind words. If there is any other types of content I havent done yet or you want to see more of please let me know!
    2
  1242. Thanks! Glad you liked it.
    2
  1243. Martelius R1 header and catback. LINK or Haltech ECU. Battle Garage has a Haltech plug and plug ECU and harness and also sells Martelius
    2
  1244. True Rear coilovers. Tell them CM Autohaus sent you. https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/bgrs-x-annex-suspension-group-fastroad-pro-coilover-system-for-ae86?variant=32003658809411
    2
  1245.  @Danny_Petramalo  Google "ae86 true rear coilovers"

    2
  1247. Heres a fun joke. Cylinder head resurfacing used to be covered under warrantey, only recently is it NOT covered which means dealerships are just reinstalling warped heads. Everybody wins!
    2
  1248. Glad you found this video useful!
    2
  1249. Thank you for the kind words and the tip on the oil filter. 2yrs of hosting multiple podcast really helped with my speaking - I am still a nervous introvert IRL.
    2
  1250. The bearing and carrier come pressed together when you buy
    2
  1251. You should have the newest valving : )
    2
  1252. Use our contact us page on the website for work inquires. But beware! We build for time attack and restoration cars so if you have to ask price....
    2
  1253. The integrated cooler has a bigger oil pressure drop and serious QC issues (I did 3 back to back not too long ago, all 3 damaged out of the box, one even had a bad Rad cap that blew off a rad hose)
    2
  1254.  @Adolcysf  Lol. I feel like there is a much bigger market for a "Street" version angle kit. The current kit can pretty much let you turn the wheels past 180 degrees.
    2
  1255. Custom LHD mats from Expert OZ of Japan. Limited run and not for retail sale.
    2
  1256. Wow short hair Ezekiel in this video! The oil rec are fine for both track and street use. We use Amsoil MTG or Motul 300 for the trans Amsoil SVG or Motul 300 for the rear diff
    2
  1257. There are so many teachers at the dog park I go to who retired early due to a sentiment similar to yours.
    2
  1258. Much appreciated! JDM style YO!
    2
  1259. All my performance shop owner heros locally have all closed shop to work at a tech company. It is cut throat to run an independent auto shop as well. "If you they cant afford to make a living doing it, no one will want to do it" - Jay Leno
    2
  1260. It sits lower as well. Rear left springs, front springs, and bilstein shocks are all unique to the x runner
    2
  1261. I start with the furthest caliper from the driver. So in this case with a RHD car, I started with the LR and ended with the RF.
    2
  1262. Find a local Subaru specialist shop that also does performance work. Do your 15k, 30k, 60k service with them. Dealer lube techs will bypass the MPI leave you assed out if you are out of warranty for a repair that should have been caught early on during an MPI
    2
  1263. Stop by for at least the 1,000 mile break in oil change and inspection. You obviously are an ae86 fan, we regularly have at least 2-3 at the shop.
    2
  1264.  @RobustArid379  I'd say an independent shop with Subaru engine experience.
    2
  1265. The slave cylinder need to be replaced first
    2
  1266. Sheet of paper or close enough to flush is fine. Most problems happen when the rod is too long or way to short
    2
  1267. You should email Toyota corperate this exact statement. Venting online will online do so much for us. I'd argue it would be much more effective if we all filed statements and cases with Toyota/Subaru corperate.
    2
  1268. Sound like a worn 4th gear set (Input shaft) or bearings
    2
  1269. Much appreciated! I should be doing install this coming week!
    2
  1270.  @OdsyMJ  Correct. You dont need a vacuum to do this
    2
  1271. Will do! I have pt 2 in queue.Thanks for the support!
    2
  1272. Top 2. Passenger side holds in the starter
    2
  1273. Glad you found this useful!
    2
  1274. Much appreciated! I do my best for you guys!
    2
  1275. We have the final version of the A/C bracket in CAD ready to produce. As far as the kit going to market, my interest has honestly been waning as the shop has not been doing well and I have been both physically and emotionally exhausted all the time as of late.
    2
  1276. Lets go for a drive next time! Skyline is also 6 speed converted now. The 86cafe meet that just passed was pretty rad. People drove in from all over!
    2
  1277. Message or email your address. I'll mail you that ball bearing
    2
  1278.  @brad3741  NICE! Great tip!
    2
  1279.  @CrazyCat229  I am grateful that our shop is at the point where we do not offer discounts. Period. I've heard the saying before: If it is so easy for you to discount your workmanship, the surely your workmanship must not be worth very much.
    2
  1280. Yes TODA valve springs
    2
  1281.  @RolanTHUNDER  Toda or HKS valve springs will both work well. I've used both
    2
  1282.  @RolanTHUNDER  They are tough to get to seal. Hasselgren runs OEM Toyota headgaskets and mill the cylinder heads more to increase compression
    2
  1283. I made a mistake at the end of this vid: You should actually completely bleed your brakes before you road test.
    2
  1284. Contact air lift for a good response. I just know the tool works great for me.
    2
  1285. Lol. Thats one way to describe it.
    2
  1286. As their market share got bigger I think they neglected their core audiences in favor of sales volume. Sucks, but thats kind of how capitalism works.
    2
  1287. This should be max power, which is fine. Refining the tune like cold start and cruise will probably be our next steps.
    2
  1288. Great guy and great products!
    2
  1289. LOL for how little this car gets driven, I'm willing to bet a Tesla put out more emissions.
    2
  1290. Thats how it came from Snap on
    2
  1291. Not surprised about the Subaru quality. I am more surprised Toyota did not push the quality envelope like they did to BMW for the A90 Supra
    2
  1292. Very nice!
    2
  1293. Looks like next video will be a talking head story time video lol!
    2
  1294. Its really tough to find an entity with your best interests vs profits at heart. Its a cold world out there
    2
  1295.  @hondaboi--su6mr  Yearly
    2
  1296. Spent majority of the day with Ray, Tyler, and Josh. The nicest and most Corolla guys ever.
    2
  1297. Once when I was apprentice at Mercedes, they asked me to remount a tire the other way so the big chunk missing out of the sidewall would not show on a CPO car going to the sale lot. I politely declined, but I bet they got someone else to do it.
    2
  1298. Apparently the new miatas have their own qwirks and issues as well. Our neighbor shop is a rotary and Miata specialist and they are not the biggest fans of the chassis. Like I said every sports car is going to have its own quirks
    2
  1299. You can contact the shop for a quote ezekiel@cmautohaus.com. But if you wanted the end of the video, transmission rebuilds are also one of those "it doesnt work like that" labor items.
    2
  1300. Any composite plastic will deteriorate over time. Cars are built to be cost savings and disposable these days, not built to last.
    2
  1301. I am driving my car there hell or highwater!
    2
  1302. I would not advise that. I know a company working on an oil pan gasket for easy servicing.
    2
  1303. Haha sorry. Realized the need for a gimbal after shooting this!
    2
  1304. I need a local volunteer first.
    2
  1305. IIRC it should increase boost from 8 to 14-16psi depending on the pulley size. Absolutly worth it - I would never run a solid crank pulley due to damage from harmonic vibrations. Ross stuff is top notch quality
    2
  1306.  @iLouieTube  Likewise, Im switching to a dampened crank pulley with a trigger wheel as we speak - was running the Flos unit just to get the car running on standalone
    2
  1307. Thank you for the kind words. This is a prototype pan. The production pan should be 1 piece and should have revisions for more clearance. Packaging is really tight, so its tough to get in the target 1qt additional oil capacity.
    2
  1308. Much appreciated! Talk soon wink* wink*
    2
  1309. To put things in perspective for cost of living in the Bay Area. Million dollar home literally puts you next to homeless encampments and Section 8
    2
  1310. https://youtu.be/AYvEZqmp7tc
    2
  1311. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  1312. I would have loved to film a how to on it as well, but I am overbooked and customer work and cash flow has been tight. Hopefully I can get another customer pay rack conversion to film soon.
    2
  1313.  @cameronthebobameron1930  Rattle at idle with clutch out sounds like something is wrong inside the transmission. Bad input bearing would be a "whirring" noise with clutch out. Bad input shaft would be a whine in every gear except 4th
    2
  1314. Bingo - my last days at the dealer I skipped the new model training for the upcoming Subaru Outback because I knew that meant I would get all the BS warranty claims once that car came out ie "Bluetooth does not work" "Cannot pair phone" "Rattle noise" ect...
    2
  1315. Thanks!
    2
  1316. Thanks for the kind words and glad you found this vid useful
    2
  1317.  @jonnijames  They attach the shifter TriPod to the actual transmission.
    2
  1318. Had to cut portions out of the original video by request. Original is still available to Patreons.
    2
  1319. First oil change yes. We saved this filter just in case and will cut open the filter on his next oil change.
    2
  1320. Upper/lower oil pan, timing cover, valve cover, cam carriers - almost everything. 2023 they switched to light grey on the lower oil pan
    2
  1321. We are billing 3 labor hours. But it is an all day job as you need the RTV to cure before return the car to service.
    2
  1322. Yes, will work
    2
  1323. Sounds like a central problem IE: clutch not completely disengaging, low/dirty fluid, ect
    2
  1324. You'd have to search around, but IIRC these are known to survive 800whp. I think the breaking point for the MKIV W58 is 400whp
    2
  1325.  @Dallasvb  CD009 for many reasons seems to be the new go-to. I actually have a CD009 behind my RB25 in my R33
    2
  1326. Lol. Much appreciated!
    2
  1327. Thank you for the support!
    2
  1328.  @gigi9467  yes
    2
  1329.  @gigi9467  You should contact the company directly
    2
  1330. You got it! Thank YOU for the support!
    2
  1331. Someone call the ASPCA! "IN THE AAAARRRRMMMMZZZ OFFFF AN ANGELLLLL"
    2
  1332. You can email Dakota digital directly - I think thats how I got it
    2
  1333. Shop labor rates here in the Bay Area is $200 - 300/hr. Do the hourly math. Keep in mind $100k /yr income here puts your household as "low income." Perspective based on geography.
    2
  1334. Another AE86 I have at the shop is leaking from the same spot. I used an OEM gasket. I think its the imperfections and pitting in the mating surfaces from being such old parts. Slowly going crazy here! haha
    2
  1335. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts! I appreciate the support!
    2
  1336. I imagine even that Aztec v6 makes this car fast AF
    2
  1337. Serial999 shifter relocation for cd009
    2
  1338. "When you don't pay for skilled labor a livable wage" I was just remincing this morning as 2nd lead of a Subaru dealer, I used my lunch break to drive to the Univeristy to beg for financial aid.
    2
  1339. If there are no air bubbles, the system is bled. Id check something mechanical. Did you get the wrong clutch kit or TOB? If the friction disk backwards? Did you install a pilot bearing when you were not supposed to?
    2
  1340. Much appreciated!
    2
  1341. Its what makes a Subaru... a Subaru!
    2
  1342. Huzzah!!!
    2
  1343. OEM R33 GTR
    2
  1344. Not sure if I sound feel depressed or what lol. Im doing my best senpai.

  1345. Regular preventative maintenance and measures like borescope and oil filter inspections.
    2
  1346. If you watch some of the other 2023 oil pan drop videos, its really been hit or miss. The latest production dates have little RTV in the pick up so far, but I've only done a few of those.
    2
  1347. Thank you for the watch and support!
    2
  1348. Or if the TSB will cause more issues down the line like the Valve spring recall did - our worst fears!
    2
  1349. Well put. Yes seems more like a QC issue as excess RTV is applied and also in the wrong places
    2
  1350. Correct! ABS bleeding was the last key to the puzzle.
    2
  1351. IG: CMautohaus
    2
  1352. Yes! Before the next driving event I plan for a p/s cooler. I've definitly been yearning for a 2 way after this auto x
    2
  1353. I have so many wealthy customers that own a 1 to 3 man blue collar business and wish to expand, but cannot due to the skilled labor shortage
    2
  1354. Hey I rarely have 4AC and/or carburetor customers, but I will film when I can!
    2
  1355. Someone noted the grey 85 Trueno in pt1. Knew I had to have this one in the background for pt2.
    2
  1356. Id wait at least 1,000 miles, just to give some time for the "junk" to come loose and give the engine sometime to break in. 2023 is going to be all the same stuff.
    2
  1357. One of them. R154 only came in the MKIII Turbo Supra in the US. The other expensive "Supra box" is the Getrag in the MKIV TT Supra
    2
  1358. Glad you found this vid useful. And will do!
    2
  1359. No. As seen in this video, RTV will remain trapped in the oil pick up and create a "birds nest" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0tjPnGQ2w4
    2
  1360. On a daily driver, one cleaning for the engines lifetime should be enough unless a major engine repair is done.
    2
  1361.  @Matp345  If budget allows, I also recommend Cyro and WPC treatment.
    2
  1362. That doesnt bleed the system of air or remove old brake fluid from the exisitng system. That also wont work if the system have been opened
    2
  1363. Its what makes a Subaru - a Subaru
    2
  1364. Ive seen this hatch in a magazine a long time ago, much cooler in person.
    2
  1365.  @joshuaho3150  Tighten and torque immediately. Modern RTV is different.
    2
  1366. The hose routing is killing me. Shorter and straighter the hose routing, better the air flow. Production version will have 2 manifolds and 2 short lengths of hoses. I can do better on the foam for efficiency also.
    2
  1367. No one has answered if there are any long term effects to RTV blocking the oil strainer such a long term oil aeration or rtv making it past the strainer Daily driving should* be fine, but at minimum I recommend an RTV inspection at 1,000 and 6,000 miles for our customers We've found surprises before such as strings of RTV in the oil or an oil filter full of metal at 1000 miles.
    2
  1368.  @ericcoombs  1st gen cars do not inherently have the RTV issue from factory
    2
  1369. Too soon to tell, but I highly doubt they made a revision to the 2023 engines yet.
    2
  1370. I think I ran a single washer on the camber plates to space the bar up. Every chassis going to be a bit different, but mine barley touched the cap. I cut off the fluid level sensor on the cap so I could take the cap on and off
    2
  1371. Thank you for the kind words. Zygrene did a review of my car BUT I can certainly do an updated build spotlight on my own car. Makes me feel pretentious as hell though haha. https://youtu.be/CWO4cj0wElA
    2
  1372. For track cars Id recommend the Jackson oil cooler and an oil pan baffle. SYMS baffle is the only one on the market proven to have a positive effect so far. We are waiting for someone to test the Kazama baffle.
    2
  1373. 2024 possibly. Hopefully late 2023 models the factory will have fixed the RTV issue.
    2
  1374. Are you asking if you can modify 4age headers to fit a BEAMS?
    2
  1375. Very very few. Two completely different gearboxes IMO
    2
  1376. With the California legal converson cats. They look like two 2 liter bottles stuck together.
    2
  1377.  @3xcelsi0r10  There are A LOT of Skylines in my area and the Tomei is by far the most popular choice
    2
  1378. For a canyon/autox car this should be fine. Rumor is the new Verus oil pan is comming at the end of the year
    2
  1379.  @boroboroae86  @6.34 it shows the different oil sandwich plate types
    2
  1380. LONG overdue and we do too!
    2
  1381. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  1382. I did an entire R154 rebuild series from start to finish. https://youtu.be/Fjawyc9IVUE
    2
  1383. Thanks for the support!
    2
  1384. Should work for it. It is a universal tool. Baer may have dimensions on their website.
    2
  1385. Clutch disc problems (overheating) or hydraulic issues would be my best guess
    2
  1386. Prevents oil from sloshing away from the pick up tube during hard cornering to prevent oil starvation.
    2
  1387. OEM parts should be compatible with the m factory gear set
    2
  1388. Yes traction brackets will help with oem 4 links
    2
  1389. Thanks! Yes I realized after I saw the footage the Hello Kitty takes up A LOT of the windshield lol
    2
  1390. 100% Majority of my experience is with the AW11 and MRS. The SW20 may as well be an alien concept car compared to the other two.
    2
  1391. correct
    2
  1392.  @1atinlove  WPC would be an added benefit, not overkill
    2
  1393. You will find RTV in the oil. Oil pressure light is a waste - you can run many Subaru engines on 1 qt (total) of oil and the pressure light will never come on
    2
  1394. I believe for recalls, corporate bean counters literally play a numbers game ie: this many engines have this percent chance of blowing up, that cost vs the cost of a recall. In all reality, it may be less expensive to not do the recall and take the risk of % of engines failing. Terrible for the consumer, but numbers games are literally how these things work
    2
  1395. Yes! The goal is complete interior and exterior restoration.
    2
  1396. IIRC 1qt additional, but it should be in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVEpMu6YHeo
    2
  1397. The car will be back. IIRC it is a Wilwood clutch slave mounted under the dash,
    2
  1398. XL or R1. R1 will have steering shaft clearance issues on a LHD
    2
  1399. Maybe on the next engine. I was time strapped to get this off to the machine shop. Jafromobile (builds DSMs) is a great watch for engine stuffs.
    2
  1400. GR86 also has this problem.
    2
  1401.  @JiroProject  There are few people I respect more than Mr. John. But I've seen the entire development timeline for the Annex AE86 product. The product is actually STILL actively getting refined to this day. I can definitely say PBM does not have the same amount of RnD into their ae86 coilover. Case in point, Joshiroku runs Annex on both his AE86 time attack cars.
    2
  1402. See above comment  @bbtmobile 
    2
  1403. I still spend a grip on tools. At this point, it is Annie asking ME if I am ok (Smooth criminal reference. Sorry I am a nerd)
    2
  1404. For the 5 speed WRX yes. For the 6 speed STi you perform the more complicated process outlined in this video.
    2
  1405. Yes. On mine I built a custom reverse lock out based and using parts from a zn6/zc6 shifter. Newer J160's have a much stronger spring as a reverse lock out.
    2
  1406. Unless you are die hard boxer engine and/or symmetical AWD (which you probably are not), dont ever buy a Subaru.
    2
  1407. LOTS of schooling and self education. 10+ years in the trade.

  1411. 100%
    1
  1412. 3/16.
    1
  1413. Correct. For both gen1 and gen2. The drain plug magnet is always covered in stuff on these rear diffs.
    1
  1414.  @brudevold62  WPC and Cyro should not change the tolerances. Opening LSDs such as the Trutrac and treating parts seperatly is very common.
    1
  1415. Great tip! Thank you!
    1
  1416. I vaguely saw Adobe Premier in one of his IG stories. fingers crossed.
    1
  1417. More to come!
    1
  1418. Thank you for the kind words. Yes definitely heartbreaking.
    1
  1419.  @FD-dh2fu  Exactly my thoughts!
    1
  1420. Cleaning the cam pick ups literally blew my mind. I told Badboy I thought cleaning the pick ups was going to do absolutely nothing, instead it completely cleaned up the wave form between trigger events.
    1
  1421. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  1422.  @321CrashandBurn  Much appreciated! I've seen plenty of oil filters/lines close to hot exhausts before. Although this is a "bandaid" I feel the shorter filter a safe an acceptable set up in this situation.
    1
  1423. Something is wrong mechanically. Either sticky/binding clutch linkage or clutch parts inside the bellhousing. Ive seen a friction disc installed backwards do this before.
    1
  1424. Much appreciated!
    1
  1425. The front pipe gasket gets pretty beat. Sounds likely. Id take it back to them.
    1
  1426. Thanks for the support!

  1427. V blocks and dial indicator
    1
  1428. Much appreciated! Look out for another solo episode next Monday.
    1
  1429. Thanks for the kind words. "this guy" is actually me: Ezekiel Lee. I hate to say it, but click bait and worldstar-ish stuff does far better, but I enjoy what I do and I know it really helps people.
    1
  1430. Both can be done independent of each other
    1
  1431. Yes it should
    1
  1432. Sure can. Fair warning: I am absurdly expensive and take a long time, but my transmission builds are also ran in winning time attack cars.
    1
  1433. Same location if it is a GTR
    1
  1434. Gross comment! But awesome!
    1
  1435. Yes fits LHD. Not sure if it clears dizzy.
    1
  1436. A return to sump design would be ideal. Rb26 and 2zz guys do this due to extreme blow by.
    1
  1437. You will still have excess RTV blocking at least some of the oil pick up - the longer term effects are still unknown. Although removing the oil pan to clean the strainer should be a one time job and will at least give you piece of mind.
    1
  1438. Good question!
    1
  1439. Motul gear 300. If the trans is old/worn, Amsoil severe gear 75w90 - bascially a heavier weight oil. Synthetic/non synthetic are both fine
    1
  1440. Amsoil Dominator DOT 4 is what we use (We are an Amsoil dealer so we can hook you up). Motul RBF 600 is also popular.
    1
  1441. Thank you for the kind words. Yes, doing my best to PUSH development for this chassis.
    1
  1442. The engine recalls on the new Tundra is absurd. Where Country and my Toyota gone.....
    1
  1443. Thanks! Glad you found this useful!
    1
  1444. Yes older cars did IAC with coolant. New cars use PWM via the throttle body.
    1
  1445. Thanks!
    1
  1446. Is it the T3 kit? Line diameter shouldnt matter. Before anything I would check for leaks and if you bleed in the correct order.
    1
  1447.  @decoyla  Not assisted. So pedal should feel "too firm" then. Too "soft" would be an over assisted system. Inside bleeder then outside bleeder last right? You can have to hit the calipers while bleeding to move stubborn air bubble.
    1
  1448. Brake booster push rod adjustment and front and rear rotor thickness is only other thing is recommend checking
    1
  1449. Lol. Im in the Bay Area, try $220/hr and paying $20.
    1
  1450.  @E.Asinus  Because most consumers still do not see the value in skilled blue collar labor ie someone can fix my car for cheaper.
    1
  1451. You can do flushes on all fluids this way if they have a reservoir - its the "flat rate way." Easy street to be rewarded with more money and praise from management for your dishonestly
    1
  1452. Pics or it didnt happen lol.

  1458. Haha no Top Secret parts or parts from Top Secret this time. But an expensive and vintage purchase that I'm betting on to help Skyline shop work.

    1
  1467. Sincerely appreciate it! I do it for the comminty.
    1
  1468. wider end of the tolerance. This is because as the engine runs, the tolerance will get smaller
    1
  1469. Cyro treat before WPC
    1
  1470. Thanks for the support! Part 2 and 3 on the way!
    1
  1471.  @boost331  "Every one of these cases that went above the dealers head after being told the warranty would not cover it ended up getting new engines after corporate overruled the dealership" Where are you getting this information from? We have plenty of locals who either had to end up paying out of pocket and/or still have an open lawsuit against Toyota. Give this is listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=549eQoFPIq0&t=658s
    1
  1472. Glad you like them! The Skyline community is great!
    1
  1473. EJ25 is a belt driven engine and will NOT have this issue. The chain driven FA engines are all at risk
    1
  1474. Thanks the the love and the watch!
    1
  1475. Thank you! Luckily I had a clear head when this happened.
    1
  1476. Yes that sounds terrible. Have the dealer fix it under warranty or at least have then document in on a repair order in case you have a engine issue in the future
    1
  1477. Thanks for the support as always J!
    1
  1478. Definitely unwanted flashbacks lol.
    1
  1479. Appreciate it!
    1
  1480. They all quit the trade and work a desk job for a tech company
    1
  1481. I've done it, but there is definitely someone more knowledgeable than me on that topic. If I get a customer car in here that is doing cam install I will film it.
    1
  1482. We had one year where every month we had a new customer AE86 with a similar story: "My car has sat the this other shop for 3 months, I am now out $X,XXX, my car is in even worse shape, and still has the original problem." I am very up front when telling customers that there is probably another shop much more knowledgeable and capable for the specific work they want.
    1
  1483. Awww yeah! Thanks for the support!
    1
  1484. Thank you for the kind words and the watch!

  1485. Thanks for support!

  1486. The young and inexperienced. Imagine making it big, buying your dream car only to find the person in the dealer working on your car is this fresh out of highschool wear dirty Vans sneakers and a neck full of iced out jewlery. Welcome to 2024
    1
  1487. Much appreciated! IT WAS TOUGH TRACKING THIS GUY DOWN!!!!! And yes definite plans for his AE86
    1
  1488. Thanks for the support!
    1
  1489. Thanks for the support! Battling with insurance as we speak.
    1
  1490. Sincerely appreciate it. You know whats up!
    1
  1491. Would love to! Contact the Racer's Line in Concord, CA for a dyno appt and I'll bring the camera gear!
    1
  1492. I got the hook up on Annex Suspension for your MRS as well!

  1495. Thank you for the support! And yes, please stop by!
    1
  1496. Thanks for the watch
    1
  1497. Agreed. I will work on it. Thank you for the feedback!
    1
  1498. Our shop scan tool by itself was $6,000. Plus $800 each year to renew the license.
    1
  1499.  @dannyvega3441  Tell T3 Autohaus wants them on the podcast
    1
  1500. In the near future I am going to do a GSXR injector upgrade. But luckily I got a reponse back from Danst: "estimated 240cc injector size" so we should be good to road tune today.
    1
  1501. Fo sho!
    1
  1502. Its a slow, stinky, mess of a time!
    1
  1503. Since this video, the car gets like 100km less a tank and is a lot slower. Engine is definitly meant to run on that Japanese gas.
    1
  1504. Depends. Subaru book time is something like 6.5 hours. In our area, 4hrs billable labor seems to be common.
    1
  1505. Thanks for the support and happy holidays to you as well!
    1
  1506. Hey Gary. We actually have a local ae86 guy who left his wife because she gave him an ultimatum ("Its me or your cars!"). But if you and your wife really love each other, I hope you can come to some compromise as life is short and transmission choice is such a trivial thing in the whole spectrum of life.
    1
  1507. Awesome! Thank you!

  1515. I'll do my best. But for customer work, we are always on a tight timeline (I have to work on cars, run the team, run shop operations, ect), so it will have to be if a customer can leave his car for a few days.
    1
  1516.  @edifiebru  Midships typically sound different due to exhaust design/routing. Not sure if Brave sells the muffler seperate
    1
  1517. Bingo
    1
  1518. Mutiple varying response from the dealership. None of them really helpful.
    1
  1519. Ahaha. Yes the pump mity vac is one of my most used tools. Great when you don't have a big air supply for a pneumatic mity vac. Stay tuned I received the new caliper today.
    1
  1520. The shop is making $100/hr and up. The tech is making $9
    1
  1521. He is on IG. You can also just google "Sidedraft Specialties"
    1
  1522. Yes 2mm narrower. I drilled and tapped the factory JDM clevis to M10x1.25 (2mm bigger)
    1
  1523. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  1524.  @amirweissbrot I had one CF pad detach after 12 tracks days, but Synchrotech replaced it under warranty for me although, it looks like even if the CF pad detaches, it will not fall out and the synchro will work as intended. I completely disagree with the "hard to shift" - 1st requires a bit more force to get into gear, but otherwise at speed and in anger the transmission shifts much better with the CF synchros As far as what should be replaced during a rebuild, everything that is worn, which will be A LOT as metallurgy is TRASH inside these transmissions. Even low mileage ones, I've had to replace multiple gears due to chipped dog teeth..
    1
  1525. Bladder infection!
    1
  1526. Indeed!
    1
  1527. Labor will vary depending on your area. But customer invoice for part alone was about $800.

  1536. No. GTS uses different brake.
    1
  1537.  @demondremahoney5310  GTS brake are far more common. I'd go your own research, but here is a start https://www.gtrusablog.com/2018/03/r32-r33-r34-brembo-brakes-brake.html
    1
  1538. Yes for some reason the FA24 needs to be driven, then left to sit for the oil level to be accurate. On regular oil changes, I've found it will read approx 1/2 qt low if you just start the car and check the level.
    1
  1539. Glad to help!
    1
  1540. Much appreciated! I actively take feedback and do my best to improve every episode by even the smallest amount. Yes I have never been to Japan and I am DYING to!

  1541. Im sure its possible. I am definitely not the guy to ask as I am barley qualified to be making this unit work haha.
    1
  1542. Haha I am REALLY a California Kid. 408 San Jo!

  1543. Thanks for the kind words and support Lloyd. 100% agree. Ive seen many seal failures, gear whine, and rapidly worn parts due to incorrect driveline angles.

  1544. You will need at least a 10ton and heat up the retainer. We use a 20ton in the shop
    1
  1545. Thanks Kitty!

  1546. High temp moly grease
    1
  1547. Should not. But it is good practice. More more of an issue on older vehicles and 1pc driveshafts

  1548. If you have a vacuum evacuator like in the video you do NOT need another person

  1549. Do the calculations and order extra sizes of shims. Make 4AGE friends who will give or sell you shims to try
    1
  1550. Thanks for the kind words!
    1
  1551. Here is a good video on shimming the pivot ball. You shouldnt have to do it in these cars, but you may need to lengthen or shorten the rod for the clutch master https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxGMvnEfVwo

  1552. Thank you for the kind words and watch. More videos like this to come!
    1
  1553. I am grateful I was able to make the jump to standlaone due to support from our local community: Badboy Marc, Bermuda Wire, BGRS Grant, and many more. Going back to the oem water pump pulley VS the under driver T3 pulley should hopefully resolve it, but yes we have not played with ignition timing yet.

  1559. Thank you so much for kind words David. It has been a very rough 4 weeks for me during this project and every word of encouragement helps. Sneak peak: the system works and I've driven the car!
    1
  1560. Imagine if your doctor got paid flat rate. Lets flat rate open heart surgery and upsell something the patient doesnt need lol
    1
  1561. Make sure to watch the whole series! We put in all the billet goodies!
    1
  1562. I hope to discover myself IRL!
    1
  1563. Someone should use the air valve with the pan off and prove that it works. Also, RTV that is stuck halfway through the oil strainer grates will still need to be manually extracted.
    1
  1564. Robot
    1
  1565.  @CrazyCat229  With community and all the aftermarket support now is an excellent time to be an owner - forget all the "drift tax" naysayers
    1
  1566. 197xxx on this one!
    1
  1567. Glad it helped!
    1
  1568. Nope. Minor services such as the "scheduled services" are usually done by the lube techs which means they are expected to rush the car out as fast as possible A good clue is when items that dont exist on the car get checked "OK" such as power steering fluid and fuel filter condition Typcially we see coolant never topped off (empty overflow) and overfilled engine oil from cars that were serviced by the dealer
    1
  1569. 20v ITBS are all worn and antiquated at this point (try buying/repairing the worn linkage). And many manifolds do not correctly align the runners. I also want to be cool and different running GSXR ITBs - no shame. 4AGZE / 24/4 dizzy are old and extremely hard to find now. Badboy Marc and I were talk about how there needs to be a new style cam trigger like a valve cover mounted unit.
    1
  1570. 7AFE trigger is great, but the oil pump itself is weak. Does CBY have a cam cover insert kit?
    1
  1571. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  1572. Most shop will not give costs over the internet like this as each estimate is specific to the customer and vehicle. Our shop is also in the heart of the Bay Area meaning we are going to be more expensive than most of the country
    1
  1573. Please dont use the Lords good name in vain por favor.
    1
  1574. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  1575. Nice!
    1
  1576. I'd recommend buying a new boot ahead of time. 90% chance it will be torn. I usually make a calculated slit in the boot.

  1577.  @evanbudd3243  Link in description
    1
  1578.  @eopro_  Email me. I can send you the parts I didnt use. ezekiel.lee@yahoo.com
    1
  1579. Glad you find these useful!
    1
  1580. This transmission was built years ago. A simple google search of the FSM and the transmission code for parts should suffice well.
    1
  1581. Bingo
    1
  1582. Should be the same as 300zx TT or R32/33 GTR
    1
  1583. So in person when I recorded this I "thought" I heard 700whp. Then during editing my jaw dropped when I realized it was 796!!! I cant even imagine on the stock wheels. Its nuts to even think this is about 3x the power of my personal car. I cant even fathom.
    1
  1584. Front timing cover has to come off to replace the oil pick up ie the whole front of the engine.
    1
  1585. Yes. We found a string of RTV. https://youtu.be/AYvEZqmp7tc
    1
  1586. Agreed!!!
    1
  1587. Not sure what you mean, but thanks!....Maybe
    1
  1588.  @gamermicha3l  Not yet, but I know a company developing one soon...
    1
  1589. Thank you for the kind words! Yeah they got rid of some features I LOVE in the 2016+ like the extra storage cubbies in the bed. I bought some black Sumo helper springs (since we haul and occasionally tow). I will film the install/review of that as well. Look forward to XRunner ownership. I freaking LOVE the truck.
    1
  1590. Factory service manual for a MK3 Turbo Supra is readily available via PDF. Simple Google search.
    1
  1591. Its odd how OSHA was more strict on some dealers than others that Ive worked at - they were escpecially strict at the BIG dealer I worked at (60 techs)
    1
  1592. Agreed. Wording is confusing.
    1
  1593. Thank you for the support! More to come!
    1
  1594. Yes, you can send business inquiries here https://cmautohaus.com/pages/contact-us
    1
  1595. Not uncommon. I know a Subaru dealer in my region who has struggled to keep 2 techs for the whole dealer. Two.
    1
  1596. I apologize. I still havent found a good omni mic set up for my gopro yet. Currently using an ETM 001 with a windsock. Ive seen Saramonic is highly rated, but I got a bad one out of the box.
    1
  1597. Unless a shoddy mechanic worked on the car before, no. This is a 2022 FA24 issue.
    1
  1598. Will do broseph!
    1
  1599. I agree there needs to be more data on the RTV issue regarding engine failures. You also bring up a good point: the same FA24 that powers the family car Ascent, probably needs supporting mods to handle track use in a modified sports car.

  1601.  @downt3mpo  I take my dog to the dog park every weekend, there are a lot of ex teachers there who have decided to "retire early" because the level of student (especially reading comprehension and writing) is so poor. Yay our generation! Yay America!
    1
  1602.  @NightKidBrandon  Yes both fluids at the same time
    1
  1603. Yes thats exactly what the FSM says:yt: @GokuInstinct1 
    1
  1604. Gotta pay to play. Thats a life lesson also.
    1
  1605. Approx 12.6v is a full battery. 14.7v is charging system volatge. Some cars wont even start with a battery with 12.0v
    1
  1606. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  1607. Noted Thank You!
    1
  1608. Ask your local enthusiast community which shop they recommend
    1
  1609. Hellz yeah brother. Thank you for the support!
    1
  1610. Glad to be of service!
    1
  1611.  @elig2222  The market unfortunately isnt there. The price isnt worth what people are willing to pay.
    1
  1612. Excellent choice!
    1
  1613. Ask your local community which independent shop is trust worthy and specializes in these vehicles.
    1
  1614. Impulse uses a flying magnet on the driveshaft and an aftermarket speedo gauge. This car is "track only" so speedo reading doesnt really matter for us. We plan to regularly do track days in this car next season so stay tuned!
    1
  1615.  @EnigmaticCipher13  I know in some countries you have to get an inspection if you modify the body or do an engine/trans swap. But in the US it doesnt matter. I say the biggest downsides to this swap is cost, complexity, and you have to cut a BIG hole.
    1
  1616. Owner is @ahrixu on IG
    1
  1617. Best way to check is to log the CKP waveform with that mag drain plug installed. Althought I've never heard of it being an issue.
    1
  1618. Use our contact us form for work inquiries. https://cmautohaus.com/pages/contact-us
    1
  1619.  @-Plube-  If a pending code keeps coming up, something is wrong. Id contact SOA
    1
  1620. Preach brother Eric!
    1
  1621. Thanks!
    1
  1622. Is this a serious comment? You are going to rent the Mercedes Benz factory rear main seal installer tool ($1500) from Autozone?
    1
  1623. It that you Zuk? Thank you for the kind words. I've used gearinstalls.com as my bible for many years now and sincerely admire your work. 100% learned the reading the comet tail pattern from you. Hope you are doing well!
    1
  1624. Much appreciated!
    1
  1625.  @danielrodgers7211  What do you plan to do with the car? Great opportunity to W58 swap.
    1
  1626. I bought the wrong model AF gauge so we could not sync it to the LINK. I bought an OBDII unit instead of one meant for standalone
    1
  1627. Correct, although Im sure higher RPM demands more volume of oil.
    1
  1628.  @mikemikeyee  100% I know JSP John was considering BMW M3 ITBs as well due to availability and cost.
    1
  1629. Thanks!
    1
  1630. Thank you for the support Will! If you plan to track/drift the car I would highly recommend an aftermarket thermostatic sandwich plate with BIG oil cooler. In the interm, the shorter Napa/Wix filter will be OK! I do NOT recommend losing the OEM oil cooler.
    1
  1631.  @WorkzGarage  1000 miles
    1
  1632. Likewise. I get to work on personal stuff like once a month these days! Terrible!
    1
  1633. Great to hear!
    1
  1634. Comes down as you drive
    1
  1635. https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/limited-quantity-rubber-cork-version-1-battle-garage-frtv-fa20-fa24-oil-pan-gasket?_pos=1&_psq=fa20+gasket&_ss=e&_v=1.0
    1
  1636.  @321CrashandBurn  I want to say yes. The heater valve and climate unit is all in the same spot on LHD/RHD. You can custom cut those notches and clip the cables where you need to also. I cant see a situation where the cables are too short.
    1
  1637. yes
    1
  1638. I miss a good Japanese engine.
    1
  1639. Your driveshaft shop/maker is the best to ask. My driveshaft shop told me rear angle matches the angle of the front shaft in a 2 piece. Angle of trans and angle of first shaft can be different: lifted trucks run center bearing spacers for this reason.
    1
  1640. worn input bearing or worn 4th dog teeth. 4th gear is the input shaft
    1
  1641. Yes. I ran too aggressive a rear pad PLUS had my bias valve adjusted the wrong way
    1
  1642. I'll do my best. Managing 2 cameras plus a Lav mic is already a handful for myself!
    1
  1643. Local track guys are running 5w30. We use Amsoil Signature Series for all our service work
    1
  1644.  @davidgoliath5901  LOL dishwasher. Yes as an example for the new GR Corollas we are doing a 1,000 "break in" fluid change for the gear oil and engine oil and get the "dish water" out and Amsoil in.
    1
  1645. "You can now get a secretary job answer phone calls and make better money than a certified technician." Bingo
    1
  1646. Exactly
    1
  1647. Appreciate it!
    1
  1648. Glad you enjoyed it! I'll do my best to get an interview from Durk. The world needs it!
    1
  1649. Ah the mini s2000 is more like the Honda S660
    1
  1650. Which is actually today!
    1
  1651. Comes with the GK Tech HICAS delete kit for R32.
    1
  1652. Fremont CA. CM Autohaus.
    1
  1653. Its been too long for me to remember sorry. But its pretty obvious what it looks like. IIRC driver side.
    1
  1654. There are MANY well documented difficulties.
    1
  1655. Im glad you still make these Billy! Still my favorite W58/R154 shifter bushing!
    1
  1656. Subaru Parts catalog. I just googled around for a Subaru parts website that had the parts diagrams
    1
  1657. Much appreciated!
    1
  1658. TRD gearsets are going to be rare AF to get. NISMO should be more available. I had to hire a broker for my gearset. You can try YAJ. To add strength I always recommend WPC and Cyro treatment for my transmission customers. C- Clip mod is also recommended for these gear boxes. https://neatgearboxes.wordpress.com/2014/04/16/nissan-silvia-s15-6-speed-gearbox-circlip-mod/
    1
  1659. Yes 32GTR is different tan R33 GTST
    1
  1660.  @tysonc1633  R33 gtst discs are same spec as "Front Rotors (1997-2001 Infiniti Q45): Brembo 09.9057.10" I'll let you do the math
    1
  1661.  @shawnconary6810  If Toyota decides to put their 3cyl in the GR86, Im betting its going to be detuned (less power).
    1
  1662. And he regularly drives this. Still low AF
    1
  1663. AE86 3 core alum radiator. Customer hoses and mounts
    1
  1664. East San Jose
    1
  1665. I'll ask Anthony next time. He regularly comes by the shop
    1
  1666. Thanks 👍
    1
  1667. "it was me....."
    1
  1668.  @camryds  Obviously it was more than ok - and absolutely encouraged lol base on the response.
    1
  1669. More to come!
    1
  1670. That grey car was here for 6 months. I just about cried when he brought me the shell and saw how much work was ahead of me lol
    1
  1671. Much appreciated! Yes in at least NorCal we refer to the AE86 as just "corolla's"
    1
  1672. Thanks for the support!
    1
  1673. More reviews to come from the Breakfast Club Rally event!
    1
  1674. Thanks for the continued support Mike!
    1
  1675. Congrats on leaving the hell hole that is the auto industry! Cheers!
    1
  1676. I do videos based on customer work, but if I am installing skirts or replacing a window I will film it!
    1
  1677. Do you guys always leave it in gear and engine brake?
    1
  1678. Much appreciated Matthew! Doing my best with this channel to make that happen!
    1
  1679. Glad it was helpful!
    1
  1680. Kind of. I worked during the 2008 recession for a highly regarded luxury dealer (the recession changes things), a really old and mismanaged dealer, and one good dealer that faced the same issues as any Bay Area car dealer.
    1
  1681. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
    1
  1682. Specifically for ae86?
    1
  1683. Helps so I dont have to do it in post!

  1684. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QiflEsSchg&feature=youtu.be
    1
  1685. Edited the title thanks for calling this out! Check out the FRS trans into AE86 video for more in depth tear down as well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zja0BsP1fc4&t=226s
    1
  1686.  @artblackwood7936  We will find out soon enough! Most of my GR86 customer actively track and daily drive their cars.
    1
  1687. 3rd gear is what I had handy. Yes 2nd gear gets really beat up. I have multiple ZN6 crunch, grind, and blocked out of 2nd
    1
  1688.  @guccilaflare500  Good fortune to you big GuuWop!
    1
  1689. I apologize! There is a better tear down video in my channel. Thank you for the feedback!
    1
  1690. Much appreciated! Doing my best for community!
    1
  1691. Looking forward to it! Hope you can attend our 86day event also. I know the Crunchyroll thing is the same weekend.
    1
  1692. Glad you enjoyed! I stayed WAY longer than intended to that day.
    1
  1693. Glad to help! Rest easy my friend!
    1
  1694. Glad it helps you out!
    1
  1695. Great tip! There was plenty of "leaning over for an extended period" back pain while this car was at the shop.
    1
  1696. Runs fine after, no need for supporting mods
    1
  1697. Thanks Mr. John! I run your BEAMS relocation shifter on my personal car btw. Love it!
    1
  1698. For home use for professional use? At one point I had 3 sets of everything for home/work/mobile
    1
  1699. Totally agree with you: even on the oem set up you could definitely feel uneven road surfaces and dips in the freeway felt like jumps
    1
  1700. Glad you enjoyed it! My shop mates lovingly refer to me as "Transmission Jesus"
    1
  1701. You should read up on the Ford Takata Airbag recall fiasco. They are basically having to do the recall AGAIN! because techs were "flat rate"ing the recalls lol
    1
  1702. Because of the systemic issues I've outlined, all the good techs are leaving the field with no replacements comming in.
    1
  1703. Much appreciated!
    1
  1704. I'd purchase a reputable rebuild kit for your trans as opposed to an eBay special. You have to determine if you have a s13 or s14 trans. There are a handful of good videos to watch on YouTube as older Nissan/Datsun Trans are essentially the same.
    1
  1705. No T50 came with a TRD gearset from factory
    1
  1706. I ended up going with a Martelius Group A, but yes, bummer I have to buy and ceramic coat 2 headers
    1
  1707. Glad it was helpful!
    1
  1708. No, but the consensus is that there should be
    1
  1709. Check out the Progression Motorsports channel (Formerly ProgressionD). All those guys are NY/NJ based
    1
  1710. Much appreciated. Small business is a struggle. Small automotive business is a monumental struggle.
    1
  1711. Ah yes will do! I'd love to do a manual rack rebuild how to and "legit" depowered rack how to.
    1
  1712. Fixed. Thank you keeping count!
    1
  1713. Thanks for the input. But as a counter point, in your 45mins with set up and coolant mess clean up, on an MRS I can use my Airlift tool for 5 minutes with zero mess.
    1
  1714. I can barley speak proper english myself lolz!
    1
  1715. ETA 1 week. Stop by and I'll gift you a few!
    1
  1716.  @kingarthur7255  Yep. Byproduct of 30 years of people saying its cheaper to put in a good used trans rather than do a rebuild. Now here we are in 2020 with rare AF rebuild parts on a common AF trans.
    1
  1717. Try to keep the slave fully compressed with a c-clamp. The have the assistant bleed this way. Once there is no more visible air, take the c-clamp off and bleed again.
    1
  1718. Dont shim the fork. It is common to not clip the fork onto the pivot ball all the way, or for work forks to not be able to be clipped on securely.
    1
  1719.  @DavidJRide  I wouldnt over think it. I'd buy a new fork and make sure it is installed correctly. Also make sure you have the correct throw out bearing - FWD/RWD are different and NOT interchangeable
    1
  1720.  @DavidJRide  If everything is installed correctly and is the correct part, no need for concern
    1
  1721. Orientation for nose up or nose down of the rear diff. If you do NOT need to correct pinion angle like me, you should install them as instructed.
    1
  1722. My new favorite! My old favorite used to be T-Hill west, similar "small track" feel.
    1
  1723. Thanks for the support! Come out regardless! Plenty of people come through even if their car is down
    1
  1724. I do not lubricate when checking preload
    1
  1725. I do not, PANIC Wire or Secret Factory USA (Sacramento, CA) would be the ones I'd contact.
    1
  1726. Completely understand
    1
  1727. Please send work inquires to the contact us form cmautohaus.com
    1
  1728. Which PDF?
    1
  1729. OEM or the Vinatge Air parts? I am still doing RnD on the kit.
    1
  1730. "I am the captain now"
    1
  1731. Agreed. But you have to make sacrifices to make things "plug and play"
    1
  1732. Great insight. I'll have to add this to part 3.
    1
  1733. Make sure the plate in back stays in the same position and the mounting surface clean.
    1
  1734. subaru 11122aa350
    1
  1735. I agree on that price range. Which actually shocked the hell out of my after doing budgeting with the owner. PANIC harness will not disappoint! But we could not afford the extended lead time to get the harness made.
    1
  1736. It was straight forward. The other plug is just unused.
    1
  1737. Good tip!
    1
  1738. Thanks! It was good to get outside
    1
  1739. Thank you for the kind words. For the BEAMS swap being so popular, we are still constantly shocked on how little of the swap is actually documented.
    1
  1740. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  1741. Hey Casey. No need to apologize! I sincerely appreciate your kindness and lending me your time out of R's day to film this!
    1
  1742. Its the OEM Subwoofer that X Runners came with. You could probably take it apart and put a better Sub in it.
    1
  1743. These are much bigger and stronger than the W5x series box
    1
  1744. Thanks to my good friend and customer Casey Abbott
    1
  1745. Thank you for the kind words and support. I believe Modception can build you a custom rear end and ship world wide
    1
  1746. Will do! Thank you for the support!
    1
  1747. Lol. Aviator style safety glasses from McMaster. I buy dumb stuff like that.
    1
  1748. Glad I could help!
    1
  1749. The part numbers are different. One is speced as a hydraulic hose. The hose we bought is rated as a automotive grade fluid hose.
    1
  1750. I completely agree! Thank you for the input!
    1
  1751. I had a good experience. Service was quick. Pricing was fair. Got my speedo back in much better shape than before - clean and glass face was polished
    1
  1752. The eccentric mods on the car, his Tom Hanks cosplay, and his hot wife. The trifecta!
    1
  1753. Didnt document it sorry
    1
  1754. No plans to do an overhaul vid, but Matrix Garage has covered the sc12/14 extensively.
    1
  1755. A good Nissan specialty shop or dealership should have one. I believe even the newest CONSULT should have the adapter to use the old style grey plug
    1
  1756. Far easier on the engine stand!
    1
  1757. Slit a rubber hose and ziptie it on top of that headlight area to prevent the hoses from rubbing
    1
  1758. I hope the "They Lived..." ad could apply to the engines.
    1
  1759. Moved to Fremont Feb of this year. Used to be in San Jose.
    1
  1760. Do not, as the oem counter shaft needs only 2 operations on the press to completely disassemble.
    1
  1761. If you cry hard/loud enough or mention "lawyer," SOA will buckle everytime.
    1
  1762. Ahaha Big numbers Mr. Big Mac
    1
  1763. Thank you for the kind words!
    1
  1764. No problems after about 5 track days and thousands of street/touge miles
    1
  1765. None yet
    1
  1766. https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/bgrs-ultimate-tl70-throwout-bearing-upgrade?variant=43692745654484 Link is in the description
    1
  1767. Thank you for the kind words!
    1
  1768. Agreed. Well built and functional also.
    1
  1769. No. You have to order parts individually.
    1
  1770. There was an RB32 at R's day. Is there a stroker kit for the RB30?
    1
  1771. Perhaps not! In 2012 I was a young knuckle head. Haha I appreciate the kind words and support!
    1
  1772. Thank you for the kind words and support!
    1
  1773. Thanks for the well written input. Much appreciated!
    1
  1774. Those shields keep contaminants out and keep lubricating oil from being slung out, thus staying constantly saturated/lubricated.
    1
  1775. Flat rate on high end/classic vehicles is preposterous. I apprenticed at MBZ USA. Imagine bringing in your 70's benz, McLaren SLR, or Maybach only to find the tech that is assigned to your car has to rush out the job because is he flat rate without base pay. Happened all the time.
    1
  1776. Gasp!
    1
  1777. Glad you liked it!

  1778. I keep hearing in Canada its the same story, yet the rest of the world its not like this.
    1
  1779. Thanks for the correction Joe! Yes I was about to buy these outright for retail until T3 made me an friendly offer. After 2 working days of use, I would still definitely recommend them!
    1
  1780. You shouldnt be able to turn it past, crank pulley bolt should get tighter first.
    1
  1781. Thank you boss! I actually have two different people editing majority of my videos now. I am usually pretty beat when I bring out the camera, but I do my best!
    1
  1782. We drool over YOU myeeee
    1
  1783. Most grease dissolves in gear oil. Stay away from white lithium.= as it does not.
    1
  1784. Glad you liked it!

  1785. "No air" by Jordan Sparks and Chris Brown? JK Thanks for the watch and support.
    1
  1786. We've definitely seen worse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wcbBC2ED_U&list=PLWD_nkVFKkaPRHm0rUOf26ZGqDmHHKnwX&index=9

  1788. Cam codes are nightmare on this engine especially for some reason (compared to the other FA engines) Sorry I cannot be of any real help without looking at scan tool data.
    1
  1789.  @snowman925675  I wont be able to help sorry. Best advice I can give is to get the FSM and run through the trouble tree for P0020. First check for TSBs and Tech Tip bulletins. This is exactly how a dealer tech should go through diagnosis.
    1
  1790. Awesome parallel case. Thanks for sharing!
    1
  1791. Thank you for the kind words Mr Bezos
    1
  1792. Much appreciated Alan!
    1
  1793. Yes, anything with shims or bucket shims is always a headache to do valve adjustment.
    1
  1794. Glad you found this video useful. I've been daily driving my R33 for about 2 years now. CD009 has been excellent thus far!
    1
  1795. Yolo son! I'm trying to build my "ideal" X Runner like if Toyota had this factory optioned with all the TRD goodies, kind of how I was building my FRS.
    1
  1796. I keep seeing people from other parts of the world chime in that the USA is an odd place because we use backward ass systems like "flat rate"
    1
  1797. Much appreciated man! Hope you are doing better on day shift! Hope the car is still treating you well!
    1
  1798.  @eopro_  You should be able to find a generic write up. I converted my 76 Celica from rear drum to rear disc using AE86 parts. Id see what rear disk set up is available for your region. Retaining cable parking brake can be tough
    1
  1799. Agreed. In the next part of this series I will do my best to remember to include some before and after photos. Thank you for the support!
    1
  1800.  @mrj0hnster  I did not find any TSB work performed in any of the repair orders. Its been a really long time, but it seemed in his last few years of ownership, the car started to get neglected, so for sure the usual rubber items and fluids were in bad shape.
    1
  1801. Demand him to quit. Its easy to transition to another trade
    1
  1802. If this is in a FRS/BRZ, Id check your reverse lock out plate adjustment. Otherwise 2nd gear dog teeth are probably chipped.
    1
  1803. Thanks man! Sincerely appreciate the continued support!
    1
  1804. We agree!
    1
  1805. Universal. Works on virtually any make and model.
    1
  1806. Ah curious whos car that was!
    1
  1807. Much appreciated! Really worried that I botched this video!
    1
  1808. King cobra
    1
  1809. Fremont, CA
    1
  1810.  @bustawolf90  Yes. We are a small shop and small team. But thank you for the support!
    1
  1811. No. Prime only if the cooler is dry/lost a lot of oil.
    1
  1812. Thanks for the kind words Alex, and absolutly great hanging out with you. Look forward to your video soon!
    1
  1813. To better center the shifter so when you shift to 3rd, it naturally wants to center
    1
  1814. Yes Lexus IS200 or Toyota Altezza depending on what market.
    1
  1815. I go by the FSM. They differ between engines ie S2000 Honda wants you to perform the tests on a cold engine.
    1
  1816. At this same dealer they also redid the shop roof during wokring hours, we were breathing hot tar and debris all day - definitly an OSHA issue.
    1
  1817. Equally as finicky as cool!
    1
  1818. You must be a German/British/Italian car technician lol.
    1
  1819. RTV shards can still get suck in and stuck inside the engine oil passages and internal filters
    1
  1820. Thanks for the info!
    1
  1821. The downside of FC rx7 front calipers and the bigger master cylinder: Too much front bias and much reduced pedal modulation. Too easy to lock the front brakes and rear end gets light.
    1
  1822.  @Paul4din  Its currently set to max. Id need a step or two more aggressive rear brake pad at this time. A big reason why I advocate for the BGRS Wilwood BBK.
    1
  1823. Virtually no noise when driving. The only noise is some metallic sounds of the plates on first start up.
    1
  1824. Ahaha Yes! Albert said he knew you also!
    1
  1825. Correct. Only IMPULSE
    1
  1826. Excess RTV applied from factory in the entire engine
    1
  1827. An independent repair shop that your community recommends.
    1
  1828. Thank you! BIG surprise we won anything at all!
    1
  1829. Much appreciated! Thanks for the support!
    1
  1830. We removed the banjo bolt and line and filled the rack hole. This rack came to us as "depowered" with the rest of the p/s system missing. To retain P/S you can try running taller engine mounts of spacing the engine up.
    1
  1831. My customers that work at EV companies say the level is technician is not much better there; they are paying big money for "well...he's the best we could get...couldnt find anyone else"
    1
  1832. They are different. Not compatible
    1
  1833. High comp is basically impossible to do safely on stock ECU.
    1
  1834. Would still be a good idea. Hit and miss how much RTV is in the strainer
    1
  1835. Thats a great friken question because its the same thing here in my local community. We also havent had the change to drop the pan on a Gen2 BRZ yet. But I'll be sure to make a video when we do.
    1
  1836. Much appreciated boss! And likewise, good fortune for you and yours in 2020!
    1
  1837. Thanks for the watch and support!
    1
  1838. Its going to be a crap shoot - you have honest techs working at bad dealers and vice versa. Customers used to request a certain tech, requesting the shop foreman to work on your car is also not a guarantee.
    1
  1839. Thanks for the kind words. I'll make sure to check out your build.
    1
  1840. Si guey. No mames
    1
  1841. Congrats Mr. Kidd! You won 3rd place runner up. Email me you contact info and I will be sending you some swag. Thanks for the support! ezekiel.lee@yahoo.com
    1
  1842. A lot of money. IS300 guys want these for auto to manual swaps. AE86 guys in the know want this for a W58 swap. My take? $1500 - 2000 bay area price depending on condition
    1
  1843. https://technotoytuning.com/garage/parts/techno-toy-tuning-hub-stands

  1846. And EVER!

  1847. Thanks!

  1848.  @stephenschenider4007  Someone with a 2018 Mustang GT is having an epiphany and a mental break down at the moment lol.
    1
  1849. Unless you're in Flint Michigan : (
    1
  1850. Yes you can push the slave back in just with your hand.
    1
  1851. Thanks Casey!
    1
  1852. Thanks for the watch
    1
  1853. Sorry to hear this. My factory head unit has been great for me. Way better than my previous 2015 FRS which had a GARBAGE head unit.
    1
  1854. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  1855.  @HyadumHH  Sound is from right side only, Check your headphones/speakers
    1
  1856. Will do. Much appreciated!
    1
  1857. Hey WPC should have a price guide on their website. Yes I have CTP Cryo in SoCal handle deep treatment as well as WPC treat. I'd ask them directly about longevity of parts.
    1
  1858. Glad you found this vid useful! I run this at 1/4 open and found it sounds the best on my RB25
    1
  1859. A ridiculously expensive amount. If you are still interested you can contact the shop.
    1
  1860. "we had to steal time hours from other procedures just to hopefully break even pay wise." And every service advisor and customer would call you a crook.
    1
  1861. I've heard 600+whp, but I'd do some research.
    1
  1862.  @mxxmikexx1  I havent had my customer complain about this issue, but yes I am familiar with adding additional vents to the top of R and W series gear boxes.
    1
  1863. ACT and Southbend clutches have been notorious for engagement issues with the symptom being intermittently getting blocked out of 1st or Rev gear. I recently had to send back an ACT clutch on a VA STi that was defective out of the box, which means I had to pull the transmission TWICE and eat the lost labor time, and that a 1 day job turned into 1 week job and an upset customer. I used to highly recommend ACT clutches, but until they get their quality control together, Im sticking with Exedy
    1
  1864. Glad you like them!
    1
  1865. Thanks for the support! And good luck with your new GTS!
    1
  1866. Stays in the pan if it cannot get sucked into the engine
    1
  1867. M10x1.25 30mm should be fine. From the video it looks like you need 8 bolts total. I feel like I havent done door hinges in a very long time lol
    1
  1868. Unless you are 2 Chainz. Then of course, chains are a great idea.
    1
  1869. Have not. We did our first RTV inspection on a 2024 tS last week. But keep in mind 2024's are still MFD 2023
    1
  1870. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  1871. Stroker is definitely a big investment! The advantage is the low end torque. This stroker kit also allows you to comfortably and reliably rev like a 4AG should as compared to a standard 7A block.
    1
  1872. Horray!
    1
  1873. No such thing for Toyota/Subaru. Contacting corperate directly as a consumer is protocall.
    1
  1874. Regular borescope and oil filter inspections!
    1
  1875. Glad this one went ended up in a good home.
    1
  1876. There is an old George Lopez show episode where his son says "I LIKE nasty!"
    1
  1877. Yes especially for the transmission rebuilds, usually its not until my customers drive with a fresh rebuild do they realize why it is so expensive. A well built fresh T50 is equally as orgasmic as expensive.
    1
  1878. : )
    1
  1879. Completely makes sense. I am no engineer so I couldnt tell you sorry
    1
  1880. Does NOT come with the 3 clips
    1
  1881. Hey thanks for the watch and I sincerely appreciate the kind words.
    1
  1882. Local seller had the entire trunk and taillight section, I got lucky. I'd try Buyee
    1
  1883. On disassembly a trick I use is to use a center punch and punch the back sides of certain parts like the shift hubs so I know which direction they press on. All the little shift detent balls and jelly beans get trick to reinstall if you did not keep track of what goes where. TSRM honestly wont tell you much on assembly, its up to you to keep things organized during tear down unfortunatly.
    1
  1884. Will do and thank YOU for the support!
    1
  1885. Cardone and a few others make reman units. I had this in stock
    1
  1886. Any oil based paint pen from the crafts store. I currently have an enamel one (by accident) that is terrible.
    1
  1887. The car is perfect, its the SUBARU engine this car comes with that is the problem
    1
  1888. Hey, likewise I was a broke dealer technician when the LEEN adapter was availible. And for the TL70 (if it fits) I'd say its a better option than the IMPULSE Kit. Its hard to find a machine shop in the Bay to do one off parts, so no its actually tough to find and also very expensive to do the C-Clip mod locally. J160 parts are getting just as tough as T50 parts to find. Last month I we had 2 T50's and a J160 in the shop and it was a long back and forth debacle with Japan to source basic parts.
    1
  1889. Awesome thanks Eddie!
    1
  1890.  @drjk7565  Yes it was because of the bad press. Locally in the Bay Area, Toyota has denied warranty on every GR86 engine failure claiming "abuse" for all cases. It seems like the answer, based on local GR86 owners, is hire a lawyer and wait for a long litigation
    1
  1891. More correctly it is the factory's incorrect/over application of silicone. Subaru 3 bond is actually great stuff.
    1
  1892. Hey thanks man! Always appreciate you leaving a comment. And yes, MANY requests to from people to have Dexter in more videos.
    1
  1893. Thank you for the kind words and support!
    1
  1894. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  1895. Also, here is a more up to date video https://youtu.be/y8oPjLFTzUA
    1
  1896. Hey! Great to hear! Yeah I was wondering if you guys came to the meet or not. Next time!
    1
  1897. Thanks! I'll keep refining my camera angles and set up
    1
  1898. Put that on a T-shirt and sell it!
    1
  1899. Yes, engine damage, low power, lower fuel economy. When I was a dealer tech, we drained gas tanks full of 87 before
    1
  1900.  @adamursaki2171  Always follow the manufacture Octane rating.
    1
  1901. Great to hear! Thanks again for the opportunity!
    1
  1902. Most OEM LSD units are worn out by this point. You can get aftermarket LSD plates or shim the LSD to get it to lock harder, but I wouldnt waste your time. Skip straight to an aftermarket LSD where you can set the percentage of lock you want.
    1
  1903.  @henrikolsen6534  Im not sure what you are asking. Can you clarify?
    1
  1904. Exhaust sound is with test pipe installed.
    1
  1905. Not sure. It was Lexus' official demo vehicle, but I think they've displayed the same car elsewhere
    1
  1906. 3 of my competitors closed shop last year. The public is weeding out the pretenders as time goes on.
    1
  1907. Much appreciated! Thanks!
    1
  1908. "you guys are just treated like crap across the board" Doing my honest best to inform the general public
    1
  1909. mk4 is the last verision W58 with many key upgrades such as an internal oil baffle, muti-piece syncros, and ball bearing shift rails. W55 has the closest ratios, but is also a weaker W5x box.
    1
  1910.  @paulellaby7400  Anecdotal. IS300 guys commonly break these gearboxes. The gear teeth in these as well as the last gen W58 are thin for their size. breaking 4th gear teeth is very common
    1
  1911. You are so good.
    1
  1912. This is a heartbreaker for imports into the US. We have a joke that the Japanese are "masters of bondo" Pretty much if the car got repainted and looks "too good" that is a red flag
    1
  1913. Your local independant shop that the comminuty vouches for.
    1
  1914. Ditto. Considering your 1995 Camry which was neglicted its entire life could still go 300k miles easy.
    1
  1915. Vacuum pump. I am applying vacuum to suck "vacuum bleeding" the brake fluid out of the system
    1
  1916. I forgot if I did the ABS delete before or after the CD9 swap. You can look in my engine bay in the videos. I actually sold this car last year.
    1
  1917. Watch the whole swap series. I cover it @markstewart3571 
    1
  1918. Bearings are different.
    1
  1919. The new fuel pump worked for me. I no longer own this car so I do not have info on the spacer, but it is spec'ed for this vehicle.
    1
  1920. No break in period for the TOB. Break in a new clutch/flywheel per manufacture procudure
    1
  1921. Toyota is testing the G16E in the GR86. Hopefully 2024 it will be offical.
    1
  1922. Ive seen plenty of local help wanted ads for techs "Calling all grease monkeys!"
    1
  1923. Dude. I pulled the fuel pump out and just about cried.
    1
  1924. Sorry I dont have a lot of experience with hydroboosters
    1
  1925. I'd still buy one. Excellent modern drivers car. Long term I'd like to see how much RTV accumulates after the first cleaning, but yes HUGE misstep by Subaru and Toyota
    1
  1926. Yeah!
    1
  1927. Thanks for the feedback! I'll make sure to take a look.
    1
  1928. Robots programmed by people or AI apply the RTV. Not people.
    1
  1929. Much appreciated! Yes I think on rocker style with adjustable ends (older Honda) its actually opposite: you set the valve lash towards the tighter end of the spec because the clearance will get bigger with time.
    1
  1930.  @sushpants  Yeah most common with my background being Subaru: cold start misfires as seen on freeze frame data are most common tight valves (valves are being held open). Goes away when engine come up to temp because the clearance increases.
    1
  1931.  @uteking  Valve lash on these engines gets tighter over time because the heads of the valves themselves get "sucked" deeper into the cylinder head with more miles. Too big valve lash can cause valve train noise, especially when cold. It would be worth removing the valve cover and checking where your valve lash is at currently.
    1
  1932.  @Heath242Green  Anything beyond the loose end of the spec is too loose. At the end of the vid you can see the hardening chip away from the valve clearance being too loose and the cam lobes slamming against the shims
    1
  1933.  @Heath242Green  Valve clearance tightens over time on this type of setup: the valve itself sets deeper into the cyl head with use. I used to a be a Subaru Dealer Tech and saw this 100 times over on bucket shim + shim over bucket vs. adjustable rocker arms on boxer engines.
    1
  1934. Gracias Patron!
    1
  1935.  @ConnorPawlowski  Thanks for the kind words and support!
    1
  1936. More to come!
    1
  1937. Hey Nathan. We get general inquiries all the time, but we are also a functioning shop in one of the most expensive areas of the country. Please consider buying some merch on our webstore or joining our Patreon first.
    1
  1938. Glad to help. They make poly inserts for the transmission mount that I highly recommend.
    1
  1939. Thanks. I've seen the video and he is one of our customers.
    1
  1940. Thank you. Much appreciated.
    1
  1941. Lol. Thank you for the kind words.
    1
  1942. Hey Matt thank you for the comment and the feedback! I have the master cylinder brace from T3 (came with hardware), but bought it second hand so I cannot confirm. BG is just the distributor for T3 so missing/incorrect hardware (like I got) and lack of instructions are on their end. Unfortunately it has been the case for all T3 products I have installed recently not to include instructions.
    1
  1943. Bingo my friend
    1
  1944. Put a C-Clamp and completely keep the slave cly compressed. Once the upper part of the system is bled, then take the C-clamp off and continue bleeding. See if that works
    1
  1945. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  1946. Lets hope they put the Toyota G16 engine in for 2025.
    1
  1947. Motul Gear 300
    1
  1948. Likewise, I've never seen that particular style scoop before on an SW20
    1
  1949. Glad you found this vid useful!
    1
  1950. Thank you. Hope to be back next year!
    1
  1951. @1:15 that is the PN
    1
  1952. Much appreciated Edward! Yes I am very grateful James gave up some time to podcast with a nobody like myself. I had fun and learn some gems on this one!
    1
  1953. The role and requirements to be an automotive service advisor at the dealership has certainly changed over the decades.
    1
  1954. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  1955. Any USDM IS300. J160 any 3sge BEAMS equipped Altezza or IS200
    1
  1956. No I have not tested those S15 items, BUT notable, CBY in Japan looks to be modifying TL70 syncros to fit the J160; converting gears to muti-piece synchros and adapting carbon fiber TL70 synchros
    1
  1957.  @drebniqvreden  Its going to be impossible unless you directly know someone in Japan. Or scourer yahoo auctions
    1
  1958. Thanks for the support Casey! And happy holidays!
    1
  1959. No AE86 came factory with a 1 piece driveshaft. People usually go 1 piece as upgrade or during an engine/trans conversion
    1
  1960. We are not taught financial literacy in American and I am the son of poor immigrants. As such I have throw my money away on frivolous things in the past - my own undoing.
    1
  1961. Thanks for the support!
    1
  1962. Thanks for the comment and support! Good to know about RnR Autosport
    1
  1963. You're awesome!
    1
  1964. Thanks again!
    1
  1965. Yes
    1
  1966. Its tough that the pick up tube is plastic. The generic long picks I use dont do any damage. If you are really OCD I suppose you can use plastic pick tools
    1
  1967. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  1968. Thank you for the kind words and Thank you for the opportunity to talk!
    1
  1969. Ahaha glad you enjoyed!
    1
  1970. You can email or call corporate and ask them directly
    1
  1971. I didnt get the build date, but I recently did a 6/22 and 7/22 build date 2023 model year cars. Both had the old dark grey (and too much) RTV
    1
  1972. 4th gear seems to be the common issue in those trans. Also discontinued in USA and Canada. I agree it is frustrating as hell that people dont document anything.
    1
  1973. Engine internal
    1
  1974. Completely agreed!
    1
  1975. Thanks for the support! We do our best!
    1
  1976. Thanks!
    1
  1977. yes
    1
  1978. Thanks! Riko is the man!
    1
  1979. Thanks man! You definitely were an AE86 YouTube trailblazer for me
    1
  1980. Excess is not idea, but normal for Subaru manufacturing.
    1
  1981. "Though most of your complaints stem from bad management rather than your job being bad" Name another field where you have to buy your own tools and are reprimanded for not working for free (literally for free, zero dollars). This is a systemic issue in the automotive field not an "inconvenience." It's"inconvenient" that no one in the field can fix cars correctly anymore right?
    1
  1982. Anthony must have brought the can back from Japan. We dont have these at least in the Bay Area AFAIK
    1
  1983. Thanks for the watch
    1
  1984. The most agnostic sounding exhaust in a long time.
    1
  1985. Leaking valve stem seals should cause smoke to come out the exhaust on hard accel or decel.
    1
  1986. The teams sincerely gives our best everyday!
    1
  1987. Sure! I actually own an R33 GTST now, so I can do the ASMR treatment on my own car as well!
    1
  1988. Coming up in a separate video. Thanks!
    1
  1989. I've heard Pre 2000 was the golden era.
    1
  1990. Much appreciated! We all do our best here at the shop!
    1
  1991. I learned this hack from an engine builder to mask block deck surface and other surfaces on an engine block.

  1992. You got it! I bet many of us need these cables!
    1
  1993. Yes 900BRZ is one our customers. Thanks!
    1
  1994. Thanks for the kind words. I have a nice surprise for my person R33, but it most certainly will not make it look like this soon lol.
    1
  1995. Thank you! Insurance adjuster come to the shop Monday. Crossing my fingers!
    1
  1996. Thanks for the support!
    1
  1997. Or the front crank pulley to timing cover
    1
  1998. CA is a funny place, but also the place we call home: they charge tax on labor, Million dollar homes put you next to the homeless camps, and we have the strictest laws yet the most revered cars stateside.
    1
  1999. Dust shield only.
    1
  2000. Glad to help. Enjoy Corolla!
    1
  2001. Thank you Peter! I had a customer send me a video of this and also used this trick today!
    1
  2002. Grant made a good point that Accusump turn on AFTER loss of oil pressure so damage already occurs. But a larger baffled pan and Accumsump would be the next best steps before a dry sump system. Accusump installation should be universal.

  2003. 1000%

  2004. Outside YouTube videos its Ezekiel yelling at everyone to get back to work haha. But egos and BS are definitly not tolerated here.

  2006. Wish I was a master audio tech lol. Sorry haha!
    1
  2007. Thanks!
    1
  2008. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  2009. Its about the right time for it: parts are all too rare and/or expensive and the system is outdated at this point.
    1
  2010. Thanks! Glad you liked it!
    1
  2011. Thanks for the kind words Colin. I get requests for custom and restoration work everyday where the expectations are unreasonable. Just wanted to share a bit of my perspective behind the scenes.
    1
  2012. Thank you sincerely for the donation!
    1
  2013. Needs ALL the maintaince first LOL. ALL OF IT!
    1
  2014. Hell yeah! Thank you for the kind words. Glad you found this useful
    1
  2015. Good luck. Its a finicky trans to pull apart and put together again.
    1
  2016. Much appreciated! And more to come!
    1
  2017. Yes. Same guy.
    1
  2018. Glad you found this useful. Would love to hear how the Serial Nine team is dealing with driveshafts angles and clutch hydraulics with the CD009 swap.

  2019.  @serialten  Sounds good! Glad you found this video useful!
    1
  2020.  @serialten  Email ezekiel@cmautohaus.com as our Shop DMs get unruly. Would love to help you get sorted!
    1
  2021. I see Subaru like Rotary cars - you have to be die hard for the lifestyle. Most people looking for a "commuter car" are getting exactly what they do NOT want because of Subaru's marketing
    1
  2022. Much appreciated! Doing my best everyday!
    1
  2023. Its not uncommon I have customers 6 track days in 3,000 miles.
    1
  2024. Great tip. Definitely depends on the engine as I have a double jointed spark plug socket specifically for the EZ3.0 and 3.6
    1
  2025. Verus has a great disassembly manual that covers that part. Manual is at the end of the page https://www.verus-engineering.com/shop/a0121a-carbon-synchro-kit-brz-frs-gt86-388#attr=
    1
  2026. Much Appreciated! Much excite for me as well!
    1
  2027. Flex seal must have partnered with Subaru
    1
  2028. I worked at 2 Subaru dealers - where most my experience is.
    1
  2029. Agreed!
    1
  2030. NorCal community is definitely strong because our key playaz can all come together like Voltron!
    1
  2031. Hey welcome back buddy!
    1
  2032. Amen Brother!
    1
  2033. Shoot me a DM or email for pricing.

  2034.  @anthonyz7023  Thank you for the kind words. We talk in depth about the ZN6 chassis including the valve spring recall in this episode of our podcast. https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/autohaus-z/the-autohaus-podcast/e/63464729
    1
  2035. It always dumbfounds me he amount of effort, dedication, and money it takes to itasha your car.
    1
  2036. Both 264
    1
  2037. Its not the techicians, its an issue at the top level - Toyota and Subaru of Japan
    1
  2038. These cars are still too new to see how often you have to clean the strainer. I'd like to drop another pan in one year.
    1
  2039. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  2040. In this video gram lights 15x8 +0. These are Hiromi from Winds Auto old D1 wheels
    1
  2041. Agreed. Although modern tire compounds, engine swaps, and shock loading are making the axle show it's age.
    1
  2042. $35k. Come get it.
    1
  2043. Lucky you got an honest shop. I have 1 customer, the shop opened the trans, told him "we cant" get parts for this," assembled it incorrectly and then billed him for the labor.
    1
  2044. Fremont, CA
    1
  2045.  @haifai3916  Hang tight. 900brz was testing a prototype baffle this weekend, so lets see those results
    1
  2046. Great to hear!
    1
  2047. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  2048. Yes ask your comminty for a trusted local independant shop.
    1
  2049. Thank you for the kinds words. We ship to customers nationwide and even Hawaii! Check out the serious work we did to this diff meant for an SR20 swapped car https://youtu.be/eVt6SBrCpPM
    1
  2050. Thanks for the kind words!
    1
  2051. No and no because the entire engine is sealed with RTV. A lower oil pan gasket would just make servicing easier
    1
  2052. Agreed. I have little firsthand knowledge about the 90's tuning era or the SW20 chassis BUT I also prefer the owner tell his own story. Thanks for watching!
    1
  2053. In NorCal we definitely have guys in their 60's at the late night Friday meets. We definitely respect those who paved the way for us today.
    1
  2054. The 3 stops (meets) were actually more fun than the rally route itself. BUT! I still plan to attend the next Toyko Calling Event in Sept
    1
  2055. Thank you for the watch!
    1
  2056. If it is the combo Toyota/Subaru dealer in Oakland, yes we've had to fix their mistakes before.
    1
  2057. Correct
    1
  2058. Likewise. This car made my jaw drop when I saw it in the morning.
    1
  2059. Much appreciated boss! Just doing my best to keep the knowledge and culture going!
    1
  2060. Thanks Mark!
    1
  2061. I'd do a leak down test. Something may be wrong with the head or head gasket
    1
  2062. No aftermarket makes an oil pan gasket yet
    1
  2063. Lol. Overlay. Silly Subaru.
    1
  2064. Thanks for the through response. We'll get with the owner!
    1
  2065. Appreciate the support Mom!
    1
  2066. Can you please please leave a legible comment. No comprendo amigo.
    1
  2067. Agreed
    1
  2068. And prevent it from getting into my lungs. Yes!
    1
  2069. Thanks for the kind words and support! Good luck with your build.
    1
  2070. Thanks for the support! Sorry, rust removal is not in my wheelhouse.
    1
  2071. Lol. Someone at the Gunma plant was pissed that day.
    1
  2072. Amsoil Severe Gear 75w90 for daily. 75w140 for drift/track
    1
  2073. Thanks Patrick! Hoping to get the tune cleaned up so it can idle, rev, and drive this Friday! Cross your fingers!
    1
  2074. Aftermarket replacement injectors. And aftermarket EV1 injector plugs
    1
  2075. Thank you!
    1
  2076. Im not very familiar with the PAR gearset. I know the MFactory requires you to modify at least one oem part.

    1
  2078. I forget what year, but yes, Levin GT Apex
    1
  2079. Still too early to know for sure. But I'd recommend this as a yearly service.
    1
  2080. Ok the Toprank ae86 FS was actually in the next lot. This car belongs to @oldrc_rich him AND his wife both have one now.
    1
  2081. All of them. 2013 - 2025
    1
  2082. Yeah im curious if Hasselgren would do a 7AGE since shops like Tec Arts are fond of them.
    1
  2083. My other degree is in Behavioral Science. I am well aware. The DSM V is the first time psychologists walked out!
    1
  2084. I wish my wife would screw me like that!
    1
  2085. Ditto. These filters were zip tied, but Grant also recommended a pipercross over sock filters. On the dyno day for Grants 7AG car, we also confirmed zero power loss/gain from open stacks vs with pipercross installed
    1
  2086. Im trying to do the next batch of shirts locally as the current batch of printed shirts from custom ink have not been as durable as I wanted unfortunately.
    1
  2087. Much appreciated Mr. Science guy. And thank YOU for the kind words and support!
    1
  2088. Not much considering its pretty much a one time fix. Send business inquires to ezekiel@cmautohaus.com
    1
  2089. Felpro has an oil pan gasket for the gen1 (same bolt pattern as the gen2), but it is discontinued. Yes someone should step up and make a lower oil pan gasket
    1
  2090. Until the FA24, no one thought the engine oil pan needed to be a regularly serviced item lol  @jedwin4816 
    1
  2091. Im right there with you. They dont make Toyota's like they used to.
    1
  2092. Bay Area. But we have shipped rebuilt transmissions across the country.
    1
  2093. Lol interesting thought!
    1
  2094. Nice! Thanks for the watch!
    1
  2095. I'd still recommend a different trade or a tech job.
    1
  2096. Thats not what happens at most dealers Ive worked at, the highest producer knows managment needs him to produce more hours so they will give his come backs to another tech (cant be slowing that guy down)
    1
  2097. Thanks for the support!
    1
  2098. Thats what happens when you don't read comments/replies lol
    1
  2099. No. Tool is only for refilling.
    1
  2100. As a government employee I saw how my peers strive for mediocrity and to waste as much time as possible until your retirement age came. I also saw the government waste and corruption at the county level. I am not one to live my life like that - so I left.
    1
  2101. Glad you found this useful and thank you for the support!
    1
  2102. At one shop we called it Flat "Hate" lol
    1
  2103. Some. Mostly good used spares. Battle Garage is where I would go for T50 parts
    1
  2104. It sucks if you have a specialty car or performance model at the dealer because at least one ass hat in the service dept or car wash will be a hoon.
    1
  2105. Lol nothing ever goes to plan with corollas!
    1
  2106. I'll have to rewatch this, but I believe the owner claims it is.
    1
  2107. More to come! Much appreciated!
    1
  2108. This video a filmed a quite a while ago, but we can ask the new owner!
    1
  2109. Thank you for the kind words Juan and thank you for the the support!
    1
  2110. Thanks for the support!
    1
  2111. Boom Shaka Laka!
    1
  2112. Thank you! Cheers!
    1
  2113. Much appreciated! They look pretty as well!
    1
  2114. Here is the write up: https://www.club4ag.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21510 Yes I am using all the SQ Adapter parts. I did the Silvia 6th gear swap, but did not do a rebuild. I've rebuilt a fair amount of J160's already and so far they have been in great shape straight from the importer. Its when you buy one in the states second hand that they see serious wear or have been monkeyed with. I usually take Monterey Road home after the last section in the video. I've never spiritedly driven Mt Hamilton. I drove up on a date once...almost a decade ago : ( Driving my AE86 is exhausting and I feel like an old man lol. Metcalf - Mt. Hamilton - Mines I'll have to try it out, but possibly in the Skyline lol. Or hopefully on another date...
    1
  2115. Much appreciated. Thanks for the support!
    1
  2116. Thanks for the input! 500hp holy cow!
    1
  2117. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  2118. I think on older boxes for like 280zx's and such
    1
  2119. Much appreciated boss!
    1
  2120. Thank you very much!
    1
  2121. More importantly, my people deserve clean drinking water and safe working facilities!
    1
  2122. Doesnt seem like it yet. My local Subaru dealer hasnt heard issues so far, but they also dont get many Gen 2 cars
    1
  2123. Ah yes! All the blokes tell me that! Not if only the ladies would....
    1
  2124. Gracias Carnal!
    1
  2125. Yeah Boi!!!!!
    1
  2126. If this is on a 4age sounds like something is wrong.The shim sizes you need at probably between 350 - 390mm range.
    1
  2127.  @katocovers  Yes. TDC clockwise back to TDC again
    1
  2128. Thank you!. Car is actually running and driving at the moment, but Im finding out it needs a few more supporting mods to do this swap correctly.
    1
  2129. CATFISH!!!!
    1
  2130. At least locally, I'd day 99% of good technicans have the left the field entirely to work a desk job in tech.
    1
  2131. Awesome!
    1
  2132. Its a shame. I honestly like the way the car drives/feels. But this RTV thing is going to have to be "quirk" owners will have to deal with.
    1
  2133. Very nice! lol
    1
  2134. Already assembled and running. Sorry, we dont always have time to film, as customer jobs are what pays our bills.
    1
  2135. Brother. I wrote a whole original chorus for "No Air" because the shop compressor broke so often. Venmo the shop $20 and I'll sing it and upload it.
    1
  2136. Mity Vac pump with brake bleeding attachments. Amazon and ebay are easy places to look.
    1
  2137. Ah! We may have talked on the phone today
    1
  2138. Glad to help!
    1
  2139. No new innovations that I know of. Dealership still pay flat rate and cry "there are no techs!" EV company's pay their techs hourly.
    1
  2140. Make Toyota Great Again : (
    1
  2141. Maybe is the right answer. If the dealer decided to "good will" the diag, then I get paid literally nothing. On the best day I probably make $17 for that $175 diag time.
    1
  2142. Sorry Im not sure if this is possible.
    1
  2143. Agreed! I've installed multiple of these on customer cars and they always sound great!
    1
  2144. Thank you for the clarification!
    1
  2145. Bingo. You liternally make more money changing oil than being the star tech in your region - fixing troublesome cars no other dealer in your region can fix.
    1
  2146. Unfortunatly, the customer got such a bad experience from those previous shops, that he is currently selling the car
    1
  2147. Much appreciated! The car was sold to my buddy who owns a body shop and will get a new lease on life.
    1
  2148. 100%. Survivor car.
    1
  2149. Will do!
    1
  2150. Must appreciated!
    1
  2151. Anime girls are my motivation!
    1
  2152. Ive seen this exact situation happen before. Nothing new.
    1
  2153. Thanks for the kind words. Love to spread and share the knowledge!
    1
  2154. I have the exact same car. Check out my video series on it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWD_nkVFKkaPGTNkmX3sYYO1IPI4JjfgP&fbclid=IwAR1e0osEif_p4JGV0ua3X0oyl4D6OQ-bETptnWk2gt1bfDkE3CKFDXxG6GI
    1
  2155. Worn input shaft or bearing is very common. Worn 3/4 slider
    1
  2156. I'd still buy one. For daily driving you'll be fine. Its for track guys that will need supporting mods for oiling and regular service for the oil strainer
    1
  2157. Small business is another beast. This is year 6 for CM Autohaus. If you want a family, friends, free time, good mental health, do NOT go into business for yourself.
    1
  2158. Less dense foam made for automotive use is key. The dense foam for house use hasnt worked well for me.
    1
  2159. Terrible when it happened, but its a whimsical memory now to look back on.
    1
  2160. Hey Russ. I have torn down at least 20 dead T50s for parts which is where I get my stash of spacers from. In my experience, it is always better to err on the side of using a thicker spacer to take up wear and other tolerances (use the maximum measurement).
    1
  2161. Looks like an 84 celica is solid axle, so yes the process should be very similar
    1
  2162. Thanks! I know Escalade wheels were popular at one point.
    1
  2163. Sad face emoji
    1
  2164. Thanks for the support Evan! I will definitely have more ae86 tech in the future!
    1
  2165. Some saftey recalls like for airbags and seatbelts I'd still go in for. Also any factory software reflashes (I always recommend flashing to the latest software). BUT poor us in California where some recalls get labeled as "Emissions related" (Valve spring recall), and we are forced to do the recall otherwise we cannot renew registration.  @hongchan1202 
    1
  2166.  @J.R.F.23  Thanks for the support. Best way to find a good independent shop for an enthusiast car is word of mouth - go to your local 86 meets and join their fb group/discord
    1
  2167. Cesspool!
    1
  2168. Timestamp?
    1
  2169. Great idea. But even with the pan off, it is tough as hell to do a good job cleaning the oil pick up screen - you would need some VERY long picks or something
    1
  2170. I made a video on pinion angle as a refresher. Thanks for the support! https://youtu.be/yNsW25XO9xI
    1
  2171. Thank you for the kind words!
    1
  2172. Thank you for the kind words. Hoping to help the global community with this product!
    1
  2173. Lucky day! Thanks for the watch!
    1
  2174. Thank you!
    1
  2175. Not sure if an AE86 6.7" diff works in a Celica sorry.
    1
  2176. Riko's business and life advice has been 100x value for me. Check him out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOUBzZQbNHlXoeghGMUhe8g
    1
  2177. Exactly why these cars should have came with a Toyota engine from the start.
    1
  2178. Thats what she said.
    1
  2179. Regular puller should be fine
    1
  2180. You'd have to ask Killer B. Although this owner has proven these items to have no positive effect
    1
  2181. Thanks for the support! Glad you found this video useful!
    1
  2182. ITBs are a very expensive way make your car sound cool lol. I'd say they are the last step to optimize engine work and cams. But by themsleves, dont expect much of a power increase.
    1
  2183. OEM R33 GTST. I believe it has the oem LSD in it.
    1
  2184. Thank you! Cheers!
    1
  2185. Thanks for the push and kind words as always Mr. John!
    1
  2186. Im sure there is. But the guy to ask is someone far smarter than we are.
    1
  2187. Thank YOU for the watch!
    1
  2188. Lots of bags (money) are not worth the headache
    1
  2189. Air and old fluid still gets trapped inside the slave cylinder and line.
    1
  2190. You got it! And thanks for the support!
    1
  2191. Much appreciated thanks! This video was fun to make for me also!

  2196. Yes. $160 retail. Link in description
    1
  2197. Great insight! Thanks!
    1
  2198. It all over social and in a UK mag last year. And now we cant even find of trace of it. There is a picture of it filled to the brim with soda cans? or something
    1
  2199.  @Szmk89  Finally found it. Was in Fast Car UK magazine in 2021 https://www.fastcar.co.uk/cars/modified-toyota-corolla-ae86-high-rolla/ https://ae86world.net/ae86-world-demo-car-build/
    1
  2200. May have to check what the FSM recommends
    1
  2201. Still has risks. I rarely worked on track cars during my time at the dealership which means 99% of issue were with street/daily driver cars
    1
  2202. Its in the past, much has changed since then, or maybe not.
    1
  2203. Thanks for the watch and sorry about the audio!
    1
  2204. Unfortunately with minor services it is the unskilled, untrained guys assigned this type of work. Dealers can also be dishonest and use an inferior fluid as well - as in your case whether intentional or not.
    1
  2205. This is probably the most well thought out, well written, educational comment Ive ever read. Bravo sir. And thank you for taking the time to write this.
    1
  2206. A local indepedant shop that the communtiy vouches for.
    1
  2207. LOL!!! I will have to remember that
    1
  2208. What data are you looking for?
    1
  2209. Motul Gear 300 is what is the recommended transmission gear oil in our local 86 time attack group, although its not the best in these trans in cold weather. I havent seen the video (please link), but he probably means 5th gear which is this the input shaft on these transmissions (normally 4th on many other transmissions) I still recommend replacing all the synchros with CF units: if you had an entire transmission apart, why would you just replace one part?
    1
  2210.  @avery4528  Ok understood and agreed. 4th gets the CF synchro from factory, but really all should have gotten the CF synchros. Another cost savings snafu! Horray Subaru!
    1
  2211. Thanks for the support!
    1
  2212. Thanks for the kind words and support
    1
  2213. Usually its more cost effective to replace the caliper than the labor to repair it. I was able to put a helicoil in, so I'll see if it works tonight.
    1
  2214. No
    1
  2215. Thanks! Will do!
    1
  2216. Much appreciated!
    1
  2217. You can alternatively trim the backing plates. Parking brake cables and ABS wires are the same
    1
  2218. 2023's still have the issue. https://youtu.be/KXPAwfKWRo0
    1
  2219. Yes the tail shaft of the trans needs to be removed in order to remove the shifter arm in this video. You can actually install this shifter bushing in car without removing anything.
    1
  2220. And more to come!
    1
  2221. Its like arguing which waifu is best waifu.

  2222. We just did another MRS corner balance today and these are plenty stable. We also plan to use washers for the lug nuts in the future as the thin areas definitely are starting to wear in/bend. Dont think we have the space/budget for multiple set of hub stands, but again, pro level hub stand are readily available with a pro level price tag to match. Thanks for your input!
    1
  2223. Thanks!

  2224. Did these body kits come with a serial number? I should have asked!
    1
  2225. Thank you for the kind words and continued support. I hate to say this, but my torque specs for those bolts are "guudentite" haha

  2226. The owner daily drives it as well!
    1
  2227. Would love to do one! Although just like FX16, very tough to find a clean, well built example.
    1
  2228. I think that's why Toyota is testing their 3 cyl in this chassis - Subaru life lol
    1
  2229. No plans for that at this time. Sorry

  2236. Apparently Motul is hard to shift when cold in these transmissions, but I would have no idea as I live in CA where we consider 65F cold We are an Amsoil dealer and I've used MTF. Its great stuff, but I still prefer Motul for HOT track days
    1
  2237. Yes I used to hardcore build Gunpla. Gave it all up to fund me racing career, which I also gave up

  2243. Much appreciated. Thank you so much for the kind words.
    1
  2244. Lol Synchrotech/Verus where is my advert check!
    1
  2245. Based on all the pans I've removed, 2022's have been hit and miss. I know I have one customer with a very early build date, like 1/21 IIRC. His had an "average" amount of RTV in the strainer, but specifically large chunks. I remeber I joked with him about some pieces looking like udon noodles.
    1
  2246. You bet!
    1
  2247. Thanks for the tip. Will remember this for next time!
    1
  2248.  @Vapourdave  Thanks for the feedback. We'll make sure to make note of this next time.
    1
  2249. Nope. This is exactly how Perrin/Jackson want you to route the oil cooler lines. The problem is that the sleeving they provide for abrasion resistance is not resistant at all.
    1
  2250. Wasnt able to get it sorry

  2251.  @hansonzhang664  Thank you for the kind words and support. More updates to come!

  2254. Community college. Also a great place where Automotive industry lectures and seminars are held - I still attend these!
    1
  2255. Awesome! I did not do a towing review, but we towed our race car on a full size Uhaul trailer and it was A HUGE improvement.
    1
  2256. When my dad immigrated to America, he decided to learn to change his own oil after a discovering the shoddy parts used at quick lube chains (The oil filter tore in half instead of coming loose from the engine) 1970 to 2024 and nothing has changed my Brother!
    1
  2257. Nik Romano of GKR suggested Chris set it at 80% first. I think they come in the box 100%.
    1
  2258. yes
    1
  2259. Join the electrical trade, go to a trade school, be an apprentice. Stay away from anything automotive.

  2264. Excellent point. Ive heard this from many people before that service advisors, not just at an auto dealers, feel "stuck" in there jobs.
    1
  2265. Thank you for the kind words. I'm still here and still kicking a$$!
    1
  2266. Fighting!

  2272. https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/king-toyota-4age-4agze-16v-1-6l-size-std-performance-main-bearing-set A lot of strong features with the race bearings for a very reasonable price. I used King thrust, main, and rod bearings for this build.

  2273. It wont show up with an oil pressure gauge, common Subaru defect, you can have 1 qt of oil in the engine and oil pressure will still read "good" in a boxer engine.
    1
  2274. Its actually a great time buy right now. I think all private seller used car prices are on the decline right now (I ended up selling my Skyline at auction for $5k less than what I thought I'd get)
    1
  2275. Great feedback! I'll have to include driving action in these reviews.

  2281. Tell that to Subaru of America

  2282. You need a tune with a supercharger. Without it the engine is going to blow up
    1
  2283. I plan to cut the pick up tube in half for examination!
    1
  2284. Still is. Sad to see this era of print end. But it looks like print in some forms are making a resurgence.

  2288. Yes if baffles do not solve the oil starvation issue, accusump is the next step. Which is terrible considering a car advertised to drift around a road course actually needs serious expensive add ons
    1
  2289. Glad it was helpful!
    1
  2290.  @dreednlb  I commend you on a solid transmission set up! Our local S-Chassis guys seem to just "deal" with crappy, grinding transmissions instead of rebuilding or upgrading
    1
  2291. Much appreciated Rocky!
    1
  2292. Ill be 34 this year. Its been a burden to look young... but I've been told it will work out when Im 50
    1
  2293. Thanks for the kind words! Yes it makes sense. We have a local customer that used the ae86 prothane panhard bushing on his cusco panhard.
    1
  2294. You need install the HICAS delete stuff on the P/S pump to get rid of the variable assist. R33 has electric HICAS so your issue would not apply to my car.
    1
  2295. Just a generic grease. Any "clear" grease is fine as the gear oil will washing it out and mix with it. Do not use white lithium which hardens and will not break down.
    1
  2296. Much appreciated Danh. Biggest thing thats shocked me so far is how little of this swap is documented despite being so popular. IE everyone has a different option on what rad hoses to run, and no real info on heater hose set up.
    1
  2297. I forgot to mention in the video that I've always had to take care of my younger sister and my Father, big part of the reason I took the government job and stayed.
    1
  2298. Definitely recommend to always see the car in person and to bring along a trained set of eyes.
    1
  2299. Timestamp? Im not sure which bearing you are talking about.

  2302. Every single dealer employee Ive talked to says the working conditions immediately take a free fall once a dealer is bought out by a national dealer group. Not surprised.
    1
  2303. At the wheels
    1
  2304. You missed out. I'll say in 100x times.

  2305. Three short blocks covered under warrenty LOL. THREE!!!

  2306. Haha you are too kind! I just want to enjoy my Corolla in the summer time!
    1
  2307. K-Swap the world son!
    1
  2308. You're better off with a BRZ. People here locally are having to hire lawyers to have their GR86 engine failure warreny cases resolved. Subaru has historically been far more leinant with warrenty claims.
    1
  2309. I google searched the FSM for a mk3 Supra.
    1
  2310. Systemic issue on how Techs are paid in the USA, not an individual dealership problem.
    1
  2311. Bingo.
    1
  2312. You, I, and most of us with Corollas Lol.
    1
  2313. If you complaint hard enough SOA will warranty anything. Our region had a car bought back because the customer complained the auto headlamps wouldnt turn on fast enough.
    1
  2314. Parking brake off

  2315. Thanks for the feedback!
    1
  2316. Thanks you for the support! Glad you enjoyed the video!

  2317. Will do! Stay tuned for the rest of the build!
    1
  2318. Leasing a car seems to be the answer
    1
  2319. Master Yoda told me to "just do"
    1
  2320. Running a small business is another beast in itself, I kind of fell into where I am at now - it was never my dream to own a business. The pains of being an auto tech, running a small business, and living costs in the Bay Area combined have seriously worn on me these past 6 years
    1
  2321. Look forward to the review of the other DR30. SLEEPER!
    1
  2322. May still have an issue like a leak. Check for leaks. If you can keep the slave compressed, rebleed, then follow the video again
    1
  2323. Excess RTV in gen1 was dealer technician caused. In Gen2 it is a factory defect
    1
  2324. Thanks for the tip! A few people have mentioned that this is a common area for water to leak. I have actually sold the car and it is en route to its new home in Hawaii now!

  2330. You may have pressed on a hub backwards, probably the 5th/rev hub. Next time I have a T50 apart I can show how to identify the hubs. Thanks for watching
    1
  2331. Very clean and stock example indeed.
    1
  2332. Bingo

  2333. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  2334. I'll try and film next week. It is definitely a treat to see!
    1
  2335. FA24 is probably fine if you have a "regular" car like an Ascent. But putting it straight into a GR86 without any changes (for performance driving) was a huge mistake as we have seen.
    1
  2336. We had a sales guy named Rocky get punch out by a finance guy at a dealer I worked at. Everytime Rocky walked by we would say "Adriaaaan!"
    1
  2337. Thanks for the watch and support!
    1
  2338. Lol hate is such a strong word!
    1
  2339. People have shipped cars and transmissions to the shop before!
    1
  2340. Sorry to hear!
    1
  2341. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  2342. If it is shim over bucket, then yes
    1
  2343. Those are actually may be the most harmful as Ive seen them get sucked through the strainer. These bit can clog internal oil passages and filters.
    1
  2344. I've hauled a bed full of Annex Coilovers many many times. We've towed an AE86 a handful of times and a IS300 once.
    1
  2345. Sincerely appreciate the support! Just doing my best for the community.
    1
  2346. I have a friend that died of a drug overdose who is like Taiga - small stature, big hair, and big personality. I love the Toradora anime, but the stickers are in memory of her.

  2349. It was a serious learning curve, but so glad to have a working speedo/odo again!
    1
  2350. Thanks for the comment!!!!
    1
  2351. The front brake pads use the entire surface area of the rotor. the R33 GTST factory rotors are like a negligible different in diameter.
    1
  2352. Great tip on the relay kit and thank you for your continued support Joey!
    1
  2353. Thanks for the kinds words. Always trying to put some useful tech into every video!
    1
  2354. You should ask DK first as this one is a bit tired haha
    1
  2355. Thanks for the feedback. Will do!
    1
  2356. Difficult job, but at least you dont have to pull the trans!
    1
  2357. Yeah the sound isnt the best at full open. I currently run it at 3/4 closed and it sounds much nicer.
    1
  2358. Thanks for the info!
    1
  2359. R32's are crawling all over the Bay Area, R33's are soon to be next.
    1
  2360. Well it was legal up until 2010-ish in California. I was union when I worked for the government, I think Union meetings and contract negotiations were more like "yay I get paid to go to this union meeting and eat free lunch" Thus we had muti year negotiations and Togo sandwiches for all!
    1
  2361. Where? In mother Russia? This is 'Merica!
    1
  2362.  @rockyzee  I will prepare my finest Hotwheel!
    1
  2363. The gauge holder I made myself. I have oil temp (sensor in oil pan), oil pressure (sensor in sandwich plate), and water temp (sensor in upper rad hose)
    1
  2364. Thank you for the feedback! They are Muteki open end lug nuts (they are just long lug nuts, nothing special). I run 0.25" longer ARP wheel studs also.
    1
  2365.  @smokingpacman  I highly recommend the ARP studs. All too common on these cars for the studs/lug nuts to seize and break. Any other video content you would be interested in seeing?
    1
  2366. We are not sure either. Sorry.
    1
  2367. Inside the Cusco diff there were lsd plates and springs inside. Cusco has instructions on plate and spring orientation to change lock up % and change from 1.5 or 2 way.
    1
  2368. Much appreciated! We do our absolute best!
    1
  2369. Yessir. Put two quarts into your rear diff (to stave off oil slosh) without doing any nonsense! We are also an Amsoil Dealer. Feel free to message us with any questions!
    1
  2370. Thanks for the watch and support!
    1
  2371. I've seen broken springs or stick synchro on the 1-2hub
    1
  2372. No ETA on the wire harness as of yet, and it will definitely need a real cat back exhaust and tune. But currently with 14" and a 4.77 rear end, burnouts are very likely lol
    1
  2373. ezekiel.lee@yahoo.com This is a customer car, but he may be interested. We are currently looking for some OEM USDM throttle linkages.
    1
  2374. Not sure on the engine build internals. I will send congrats to the owner!
    1
  2375. Thanks and merry xmas!
    1
  2376. Appreciate it! I've rescued many an AE86 from the scrap yard. Insurmountable amount of effect every time, but also worth it in the end every single time!
    1
  2377. He said his VW's have been "reliable," but I have an inkling VWs are why he knew what to expect with a Corolla. Im definitely curious about the future of his Corolla.
    1
  2378. Yes! A/C would definitely be great! Shoot me an email with pictures and parts list!
    1
  2379. My USDM hard copy service manual gives a clearance spec. An Aus. manual I have a PDF gives a 0mm spec. I have been fine using the 0mm spec. 0.05mm isnt going to make a difference for this adjustment.
    1
  2380. Thanks for the kind words and support!
    1
  2381. Thanks! This car actually was sold and now lives in Hawaii.
    1
  2382. Our contact at Toyota of Japan says Corporate is treating the excess RTV as a "non issue"
    1
  2383. Stoptech BBK. You can buy the pieces individually if you contact Stoptech.
    1
  2384.  @thick_n_fluffy  You'll have to do some research if its a st40 or 41 caliper. People have been putting other Toyota Truck and Lexus brakes on these truck as well
    1
  2385. Thanks John!
    1
  2386. Thank you for the watch!
    1
  2387. Quirky cars (and owners) are the best!
    1
  2388. Thank you!
    1
  2389. Its very plausible. You can lengthen the push rod a few turns as a test and see if it changes.
    1
  2390. I look forward to an OS cross mission!
    1
  2391. Ive had some conversations with Mr. John. I have someone local working on CAD as we speak BUT a limited JSP billet edition would be awesome@
    1
  2392. And bingo was his name-O
    1
  2393. Ahahaha. The perfect 3-2 downshift. Its like chasing a drug high. 3-4 shift is always a nice drama free "thunk also
    1
  2394.  @jasonm.1370  At least until we get a definitive answer from Subaru or Toyota its seems most owner feel this way.
    1
  2395.  @jasonm.1370  Again I wish Toyota/Subaru Corperate would pay attention to customer feedback like this. Because I still think the GR86 is car, just with a bad factory defect
    1
  2396. Under our flat rate pay system, it is more profitable for technicians to "guess" and throw parts at a car rather than do actual diagnostic work. Manufactures literally do NOT pay for diagnostic time for vehicles under warranty.
    1
  2397. Much appreciated Manny!
    1
  2398. Honda oil/fuel dilution issue is wild
    1
  2399. Im curious who gets punished or if OSHA would do follow up inspections?
    1
  2400. Sould just be the 3rd brake light on the trunk
    1
  2401. Glad this video helped you Mr. Wrestler!
    1
  2402. And what sucks is under the flat rate pay system, the tech literally gets paid 0 dollars an hour to talk with customers, road test, and verify a concern
    1
  2403. This is a customer car. But I do have a spare of my own for sale. $50 before shipping. Shoot me an email. ezekiel.lee@yahoo.com
    1
  2404. A lifetime memory for sure!
    1
  2405. Not always. There should be screens for cam timing control or AVCS on EJ engines. Those can get clogged with foreign material as well.
    1
  2406. Stylistic choice, but I realize it is awkward listening back to it. Thanks for the heads up.
    1
  2407. Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  2408. Agreed! Thanks for watching!
    1
  2409.  @akintegratedautowerks  Key tips I had to learn the hard way. Get a proper website, make a Yelp page, and keep your social media business only. The first two items I did way too late and it seriously hurt the shop like past Oct/Nov
    1
  2410. I've never worked heavy duty for the private sector (only for the government), but at least in CA it seems heavy duty/diesel techs still get compensated "good enough"
    1
  2411. Thanks for the tip!
    1
  2412. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  2413. My favorite car of the day by far. Watch the full review! https://youtu.be/nUTmbaj2In0
    1
  2414. Very nice
    1
  2415. Someone local had to hire a lemon law lawyer for his GR86 with engine failure. Locally it seems dealers are using "low engine oil" as the reason for engine failure. Unfortunately you may have to lawyer up. If you contact some media outlets such as "The Drive" or "Road and Track" and tell your story, they may be of assistance.
    1
  2416. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  2417. Just sharing my 2cents behind the scenes. Thanks man!
    1
  2418. Hey much appreciated. If you ever visit CA please come to the shop and we'll show you around!
    1
  2419. Thank you for the kind words! I do my best!

  2420. Correct. Or cracked cylinder head

    1
  2422. Some pieces are thin or small enough to pass through, but I 100% agree. Dangerous for RTV to pass through the strainer
    1
  2423. Thanks for the watch and support!
    1
  2424. Sucks I know. Right side only.
    1
  2425. Thanks for the feedback. I will keep this in mind
    1
  2426. Input bearing making the "whirring" sound seems to be a very common failure in all W-series boxes. You need a very rare/expensive SST to disassemble the trans (specifically the 5th gear and output bearing assembly). Best let a professional handle it, although transmission rebuilding seems to be a dying art these days.
    1
  2427.  @vzda123  Yeah Verus' instruction are a very good read before you decide to dig into one. If you are local to the Bay Area I actually have one for sale built ready to go.
    1
  2428.  @vzda123  Ive shipped to Hawaii before, but I hear Hawaii has a crazy across the border tax
    1
  2429. I believe its a steering wheel hub puller tool. It has 3 slots and looks like a birds foot
    1
  2430. Not sure. S13 trans definitely has some gear and design differences. You can cross reference these PNs with an EPC.
    1
  2431. Thanks! I'd like to add one as debris and water get all into the serp belt area.
    1
  2432. Thanks for the feedback! I currently run a 300zx BBK with oem sized 300zx front rotors. https://youtu.be/3wWt2K7Nt6E
    1
  2433. Ah curious. If you off road or tow with the truck its possible 1st gear teeth or bearings go overloaded
    1
  2434.  @awong160  Hey sorry I dont have any good recommendations. Rebuilding transmissions is definitely a dying art
    1
  2435. Much appreciated!
    1
  2436. Thanks for the contiuned support!

  2437. Glad you liked it
    1
  2438. Thank you for the kind words! The other driver's head actually broke through his own driver door glass and he got a pretty nasty gash on his head.
    1
  2439. Jump the connector at the swtich. If the rev lights stay on, you either got a bad switch, switch is loose, so something inside the transmission has an issue
    1
  2440. Glad you found this useful. Most cables are seized or close to by now.
    1
  2441. Glad you found this video useful! Im not longer a dealer tech so no need to hold my tongue!
    1
  2442. I cant tell if you are trolling or not. It says in the thumbnail and the description. "Go Fast Bits Response Blow off Valve"
    1
  2443. Hellz yeah. We need some sort of motivation!

  2444. You are a badass. And you're welcome!
    1
  2445. Thank you for your words of kindness. Much appreciated!
    1
  2446. We've found red, green, and yellow so far. Perhaps my Pokemon reference is not too off base.
    1
  2447. Much too thick. 3mm IIRC. The plan was to run this ported head and that HG on my GZE Celica circa 7 years ago. I changed jobs and took a BIG pay cut (and had to sell all my toys) while building this engine the first time which is why I used the too thick HKS headgasket.
    1
  2448.  @HachiMiura  Agreed. Happy to gain more compression. Although it will definity need a tune as even with the old HG, I used to ping frequently at low RPM high load on 91 octane
    1
  2449. Is that you Andrew? Wagon is doing great btw! I DD it and it is still a champ! I have a pair of brand new OER 45's and manifold waiting to go on, but Covid threw me for a MF loop!
    1
  2450. Bingo
    1
  2451. Thanks Josh! Grant actually ran this trans at Laguna Last week! Got to touch 6th gear on the front straight
    1
  2452. I got a lot of replacement hard parts from AMP Distribution or OEM Nissan parts from overseas
    1
  2453. Bingo
    1
  2454. Thanks
    1
  2455. Thanks for subscribing!
    1
  2456. Much appreciated!
    1
  2457. I doubt all components were in spec because T50s tear up input bearings and shift sleeves. Id investigate 3/4 Sleeve teeth, Input (4th) synchro height, and Input (4th) dog teeth condition. It is common to put 3/4 hub on backwards as well - have seen it all the time.
    1
  2458. Likewise man! The finalizing of the a/c comp bracket and the 2 manifolds for the GenII mini unit have been taking FOREVER to finalize and its been killing me. The shop has also been busy as hell, meaning I havent had the time to set aside and further develop the product. Pray for me lol
    1
  2459. Thanks for the watch! Always fun to show case cars and their owners.
    1
  2460. Thanks for the watch
    1
  2461. "gonna have to replace it" Its going to be a fight: here in the Bay Area, its seems to be a multiple month process PLUS having to hire a lawyer to get a GR86 engine failure warranty claim approved
    1
  2462. Salute to you Brother!
    1
  2463. Thanks! And thanks for the support!
    1
  2464. HELLZ YEAH BROTHER
    1
  2465. I dont think we've seen the need to run a heavier weight for time attack. You may need to for drifting or an aftermarket gearset
    1
  2466. More to come I promise!
    1
  2467. "fire you, tell clients they can't fix their car" Its already happening. Getting fired for refusing to work for free or under inhumane conditions. And the dealer having to tell customers LONG wait times to get an appt because they are already booked (due to the lack of skilled techs working there) Its far easier to just leave the field and apply your skills set to another career.
    1
  2468. It came on the car when I bought it. Genuine R33 GTR bumper. Companies make proper FPR versions for GTST/GTS
    1
  2469. Lol glad you liked it!
    1
  2470. Im pretty sure it will fit. All those white clamps should be the same.
    1
  2471. I also cannot wait!
    1
  2472. Thanks for the watch and support!
    1
  2473. Factory management so around 7300rpm
    1
  2474. Agreed! Although it seems to draw A LOT of power
    1
  2475. No kidding! Save me!
    1
  2476. I'm a sucker for cool license plates. Jose was also such a down to earth guy.
    1
  2477. Welcome aboard! All podcast episodes are also available audio only on all major podcast carriers.
    1
  2478. I havent done a proper one before, but I have customer cars in here with very well done ones. Im glad you got the joke also lol
    1
  2479. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  2480. The NZ built billet RB30 made me take a knee. This car sounded insane as well.
    1
  2481. Lol must have been bring your kid to work day.
    1
  2482. JSP parts are ichiban!
    1
  2483. If you watch 900brz's video the key is that you get a repeatable 60psi drop on corners that no oil pan baffle has been able to solve yet. Sounds like an engineering flaw from the factory to me considering all the adverts show this car drifting around a racetrack
    1
  2484.  @impsquared  https://youtu.be/gJ0wca-S6aA
    1
  2485. We're here to help!
    1
  2486. Have you done a swap before, what do you want to use the car for, what do you expect to get out of doing an engine swap?
    1
  2487.  @880frxgerardobeltran9  20v's are old and expensive to do now. You need the last generation T50, yours will not work without a lot of modification; that is a deep rabbit hole on its own.
    1
  2488. Much appreciated! I will do my best!
    1
  2489. Looks like sold out. Torque specs will be same theory as an cork or rubber replacement gasket. I personally choke up on a 1/4" ratchet and tighten until the gasket compresses a bit. https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/limited-quantity-rubber-cork-version-1-battle-garage-frtv-fa20-fa24-oil-pan-gasket?_pos=14&_sid=de9ddd6b2&_ss=r
    1
  2490.  @marianocordero5176  I'd prefer to do the disco. My whole life is having problems.
    1
  2491. Glad you found this useful. Yes, absolutely recommend pulling the pan to at least check.
    1
  2492. Lol talk about a throw back!
    1
  2493. Thank you for the kind words! We do our best!
    1
  2494. I dont think so. People here locally are machining their 3tc bellhousings to accept the ae86 T50
    1
  2495. Riley from the Boondocks or Ricky Tan from Rush Hour 2?
    1
  2496. Did the dealer determine cause of failure?
    1
  2497. Lol dont be sorry! And yes! Headers have sold already!
    1
  2498. Great idea. I already welded in nuts, but ill have to try it next time.
    1
  2499. Lighter than you expected?
    1
  2500.  @ENGINERESCUE86  Thanks for the clarification. I dont think a direct comparison of eng/trans weight (4age vs BEAMS) is quite fair as the BEAMS swap requires A LOT of extra parts and that weight should also be factored in.
    1
  2501. And bingo was his name-o
    1
  2502. Possibly Zenki/3 rib blocks got the 1 piece (shorter) oem sandwich plate? Ive worked on a handful of cars (including my own) that came with the shorter sandwich plate. The Bosch O2 is a good tip!
    1
  2503. Much appreciated and thank you for the continued support Evan!
    1
  2504. Likewise happy news years boss and thank you for the kind words and support!
    1
  2505. Appreciate the kind words! Just doing my best to produce quality, informative content.
    1
  2506. Thank you for pointing that out. And yes, in hindsight a definite oversight. Luckily our sunny California climate is not rust prone. But to be fair, many OEM's bond interior panels bits together without paint or sealer.
    1
  2507. Good stuff!
    1
  2508. Do not. But IIRC 15ft total should be fine.
    1
  2509. You and me both!
    1
  2510. 0054. Heres the video of it getting crashed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgvSCZmayKM
    1
  2511. That's the plan!
    1
  2512. xoxo!
    1
  2513. Possibly. Theres been a few class action lawsuits against Subaru in the past.
    1
  2514. Annex should be able to sell you replacement shocks instead of a revalve for the AE86. Shoot me an email. ezekiel@annexsuspension.com
    1
  2515. Do it!!!!
    1
  2516. Excellent way to preserve the performance and life of your drivetrain.
    1
  2517. Kudos to SQ for making the shifter early. But Ive always preferred the closer to oem feel of the V1, V2, and lockout JSP shifters. If you want the tighter closer feel of an aftermarket short shifter, SQ is the way to go.
    1
  2518. Thats the plan!
    1
  2519. Silvia's dont have a bleeder on the ABS unit also? JPNZ manuals sells the translated version of Japanese manuals. You may or may not be able to manually pull body codes. With the right adapter, I actually think the dealership's Consult III should be able to work in case you have a Nissan/Infiniti dealer friend.
    1
  2520. Ive also seen videos where people lock up the brakes and force the ABS pump to activate a bunch of times to "manually" do it.
    1
  2521. Yes!
    1
  2522. Glad you enjoyed it! Channeling my inner Doug Demuro lol
    1
  2523.  @camryds  Thank you for the kind words! Its definitely tough as a consumer knowing what to look for in both buying/selling a car and in repair work
    1
  2524. My customers cant even source one by itself at this point.
    1
  2525. Thanks man, big surprise!
    1
  2526. Tough call. I give my Top 3 options with pros vs cons in this episode https://radiopublic.com/the-autohaus-podcast-60k7Od/s1!68481
    1
  2527. I installed this set up many time now. Still an excellent choice!
    1
  2528. Yes also works for Gen 2
    1
  2529. Added the application list to the description
    1
  2530. Thats a pretty wild story. We used to see cars from Alaska/Canada where everything was cover in the rust spray. I imagine if you lived in an area like that, reapplying the spray every 12 months would be a must! Anther reason to get everything in writing and to read the fine print.
    1
  2531. yes  @exoticexperiments3008 
    1
  2532. "What are they storing in the toilets?" lol
    1
  2533. Tomei baffle acutally makes the starvation issue worse
    1
  2534. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  2535. I bought the clutch and flywheel from LOJ. It is their inh-house adapter flywheel. I believe you can use any single disc RB or 350z clutch
    1
  2536. Thanks for the support Colin!
    1
  2537. Its possible. But we do not offer this service.
    1
  2538. Gan Bare Onii-Chan!
    1
  2539.  @LeanSippaX2  Ah! Parts delays are the worst!
    1
  2540. But its our future!
    1
  2541. The tech should have to redo the job for free on a returned job. The issue is that what if he is not there that day or is a kiss ass? Then another tech does his return job for free
    1
  2542. Or support a independent shop that specializes in your vehicle and supports your community
    1
  2543. Thanks for the kind words. I had to make this video as I agree: no clear videos or instructions.
    1
  2544. Hey! Sincerely appreciate your support!
    1
  2545. You missed the point: unless a tech flags time working on a car, they literally do not get paid for anything else they do - even flagging time for working on a vehicle does not guarentee pay.
    1
  2546. Tribeca and SVX's are Subaru technicians most hated models to work on.
    1
  2547. You cant take the average in the USA. You have to look at cost of living in that particular area. Example dealership labor rates San Francisco $300/hr. 50 miles away in Modesto $100/hr
    1
  2548. I've seen the big rigs and busses on tow trucks all the time
    1
  2549. Glad you enjoyed it I had a blast!
    1
  2550. Lol you know how many service writers think they could do our jobs? I used to work with service writers who would scan the CEL code themselves "shot gun" diag it and write the RO with a repair only so the customers wouldnt have to pay diag time.
    1
  2551. Awesome! Glad you found this video useful!
    1
  2552. Amen!
    1
  2553. Ah, I did a random IG live in tandem. Nothing worth hearing about haha
    1
  2554. A synthetic 75w90 gear oil is fine. Its the same transmission as the gen1
    1
  2555. Much appreciated Edward! Have we met at 86fest before? You have a black hatchback?
    1
  2556. Same answer I have on the FA24 in the WRX
    1
  2557. +
    1
  2558. Bleeding clutch or brakes first, the order shouldnt matter unless they share a reservoir - in that case bleed brake first. You should be worried about clutch pedal sticking. Some thing could be mechanically or hydraulically wrong.
    1
  2559.  @paulsbuilds1982  Sorry Im not a Nissan guy. What is a G variation. Otherwise you could google the PDF for both service manuals and compare.
    1
  2560. Bingo. My sentiments my entire career
    1
  2561. I appreciate the support, but you are asking questions for a Toyota engineer and not a bum like me lol
    1
  2562. AW11 market is tough. There are basic maintenance parts like brake part you cannot buy anymore.
    1
  2563. Like actually working? I cant promise that one as it is hectic during shop hours with no room for mistakes, much less time to film.
    1
  2564. Its been a popular request from people in Texas and Florida. Although price point has been the biggest issue on why we dont further develop the kits. $3000 estimated cost for the entire kit. The A/C brackets for for sale.
    1
  2565. Thanks for the support!!!
    1
  2566. Maybe. Ive had a few new customers defect from the dealers. But also I have peers tell me they are still begging for peanuts (pay) at their dealership. Personal anecdote, but my barber says her former dealer mechanic neighbors would rather sit at home and be broke than ever go work in the field again. Things are pretty bad.
    1
  2567. I cant believe a dealer admitted that they did not have the correct tool. Also on tax write offs, they dont teach financial literacy in America and I am the son of poor immigrants - I still make bad financial decisions daily - what do I know about taxes?
    1
  2568. Agreed!
    1
  2569.  @boost331  Hey thanks for the kind words and support! Have a great upcomming July 4th holiday!
    1
  2570. Thank YOU for watching!
    1
  2571. Agreed!
    1
  2572. Non hybrid. Long term, hybrid systems will have issues and/or the hybrid battery will need to be replaced and it is going to be expensive AF.
    1
  2573. OK for normal driving
    1
  2574. Much appreciated Casey. Twas' Much Fun!
    1
  2575. No issues and I still have that prototype Group A XL (this had fitment issues with the driver frame rail). USDM o2S is a tad closer to the steering shaft, but a non issue.
    1
  2576.  @dkeightsix1871  Id stick with the regular Group A. You can check out some video's with Chris Van's car. He has a built/cammed 4ag running well with the regular group A
    1
  2577. Only the top portion I think. You still have to fabricate the bottom part of the header.
    1
  2578. Thanks for the kind words and the watch. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  2579. Yes even with an oem driveshaft a lowered car should at least have the pinion angle checked. The oem driveshaft rear section is a very good damper which is why most people dont feel a noticeable vibration.
    1
  2580. Input bearings worn, not shimmed correctly. Clutch issue. Only a tear down and picture would tell for sure
    1
  2581. Thanks for the support!
    1
  2582. Thanks!
    1
  2583. Have you done this yourself? Unless there is a real failure (ie smoke from tail pipe, noise, oil consumption) to my knowledge, the dealer will not do a tear down.
    1
  2584. Thanks for the kind words! I've seen valve leaks get masked by "good" compression test numbers before. Althought cyl #6 is worth retesting in cause something was sticking (car has sat for the past 3 years) or I made a error.
    1
  2585. Rad! Glad to help!
    1
  2586. Glad I could help! I sincerely appreciate it as I am exhausted by the time I get to filming!
    1
  2587. Thanks Cesar!!! The TRD office once being in SoCal blew my mind!
    1
  2588. Yeah I think Subaru has done this for a while now: save pennies in manufacturing and spend a boat load in warranty claims and media fiascos
    1
  2589. Our source at Toyota of Japan says Toyota knows about the issue, but their official stance is that it is a "non issue"
    1
  2590. No kidding! Customer said those exact words when he saw the oil pick up
    1
  2591. Apparently it saves a ton of cost just to have the robot silicone everything instead of having PNs for a bunch a gaskets The kicker is that Subaru uses basically the same engines across their model lines, so it wouldnt be that many PNs
    1
  2592. "Keep it simple, keep it reliable, make it light." Thanks for the essay Danny lol! I appreciate the insight and backstory. I totally get why you sold this car as my own car unfortunately does not see much use these days.
    1
  2593. The pump is to pull vacuum. You dont need it to bleed the slave. Alternative if for an assistant to pump and hold the clutch pedal.
    1
  2594.  @hachigarage6331  Weir only makes Celica Supra size/splines. PANIC makes stronger OEM replacements.
    1
  2595. I love that he really drives this thing too!
    1
  2596. Or accusump - no, no solutiion yet.
    1
  2597. Thank you for the kind words. We're doing our best to serve the community!
    1
  2598. Glad you found this useful! Look forward to a pt3!
    1
  2599. Glad to help!
    1
  2600. Ahahaha! You are obviously a fan!
    1
  2601. Depends on what the car is used for. Any sort of performance driving, I always recommend a 6 speed swap. Lightwight flywheel is always a good choice. Cant go wrong with a Toda clutch that is rated for your power goals.
    1
  2602. Thank you for the correction! I typically get 16- 18 mpg mixed on 91 octane.
    1
  2603. Glad it helped!
    1
  2604. Yes the Jackson kit for the Gen2 keeps the oem oil warmer
    1
  2605. Thanks for the kind words! That is the dream!
    1
  2606. I would recommend HKS valve springs and degreeing the cams. Both are not "needed" but will get you better reliability and MO POWAH! and driveability lol
    1
  2607. Much appreciated!
    1
  2608. For both the whiteline and GK tech bushings?
    1
  2609.  @32_Ronin  https://whitelineperformance.com/products/w32985-bushing-kit https://us.gktech.com/polyurethane-240sx-skyline-rear-knuckle-bushings-pair
    1
  2610. Thank you for the kind words! This interview solidified for me how Rick is not only a real car guy, but also a real genuine and cool guy.
    1
  2611. Glove box and dash face/instrument cluster. Heater core box comes out through the glove box side
    1
  2612. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  2613. Glad it was helpful Thank You!
    1
  2614. If it is a kiss ass tech he actually might be on his knees all day ; )
    1
  2615. I brought this car to get an alignment afterwards. 0.1 degrees off. With just a tape measure!
    1
  2616. Haha I need to find a decent machine shop first. Getting this BEAMS head done was like arduously pulling teeth!
    1
  2617.  @peterpalma9293  I'll keep you in mind as time goes on. One of Hasselgren's engine builders left the company and he apparently has a budget secret combo for a N/A high power BEAMS.
    1
  2618. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  2619. The JB weld really did it for me
    1
  2620. BGRS crew can give you a better rebuttal, but from what I understand, stock 7A bottom end does not like to rev due to piston speed/rod ratio? Of course aftermarket components solves this.
    1
  2621. More dealership horror stories to come!
    1
  2622. Since I was a dealer tech at Subaru circa 2010 I have seen the brand progressively lose their way: trying to compete with up market brands with a volume of inferior products
    1
  2623. Lol correct!
    1
  2624. eBay seller. I bought 4 entire loaded knuckles.
    1
  2625. Silk Road S13 rotor adapters in the rear. I would like to change the rear calipers, but only because ae86 rear calipers are getting to be a scarcity.
    1
  2626. Remove and reinstall
    1
  2627. Landin is a rad dude!
    1
  2628. Different transmission. Will not work with the BEAMS 6 speed.
    1
  2629. Thanks for the support and watch!
    1
  2630. Thanks for the update Tor!
    1
  2631. Lol what pay? You can double the pay as a contract worker for a tech company in the bay area
    1
  2632. Amen brother!
    1
  2633. If you are local OR willing to ship, I would gladly build another one of these!
    1
  2634. Great question...trunk center garnish? Center plate?
    1
  2635.  @LTSpidey  Fuck yeah!
    1
  2636. Thanks for watching!
    1
  2637. Yonkcord nani desu ka?
    1
  2638. https://youtu.be/5snZOdAqVHE 7AG 16v is sweet also
    1
  2639. I could, but that would be no fun to spoil the treasure hunt.
    1
  2640. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  2641. I had to get a locksmith to re-key the mechanism, so yes it works. I'd say its worth it, as the s1 unit will absolutely not fit and you will have an empty hole in the garnish.
    1
  2642. I chose greddy because it was also an oil filter relocation .
    1
  2643.  @blackrifle6736  Thank you for the constant support and kind words. It has been about 4 years since I've worked an automotive "day job" now and my self respect and self worth has increased by a lot. I also refuse to tolerate "bs" these days.
    1
  2644. Yes they fit together perfectly
    1
  2645. The C4AG guy, Aaron, sells a good kit and is a good guy. I bought from him before. I currently piece together my own kits.
    1
  2646. Sounds good. Lets talk soon!
    1
  2647. There was a gender neutral "thing" when I worked for the gov. Imagine how many of our tax dollars at waste for a room full of people to debate the word "man"hole cover.
    1
  2648. I dont think anyone makes a correct kit. Your best bet is to search dealer EPC and get the oem part #'s. I have to do this regularly with all the classic and odd ball cars I work on.
    1
  2649. Did you use Elmers or Gorilla?
    1
  2650.  @mathiasgreco3819  Kids today dont even know what this car is, much less its significance in history. Leaving a passive aggressive comment definitely does not spread positive car culture for our future generation. Making this video did.
    1
  2651.  @TheBilliardCorner  They've had this issue since MY2011 with the (new at the time) FB engines. I think we are only aware of the issue now due to the other weakness' being revealed with the FA24 in the GR86.
    1
  2652. The struggle is real! But hopefully the podcast can ease some of it!
    1
  2653. Correct
    1
  2654. yes. still have the same issue
    1
  2655.  @bishounenpooru  Not difficult to inspect or adjust just make sure throttle plate slows at the end of its travel and isnt slamming shut.
    1
  2656. Much appreciated! Stay tuned for part 3 and 4.
    1
  2657. Glad it helped! Thank you for the kind words!
    1
  2658. I think ever since Toyota broke our hearts with Scion they have been a joke.
    1
  2659. Glad you "heart" this lol
    1
  2660. Ah darn! Yeah I've known people to pull the master back out to bench bleed, but hopefully you can work all the air out.
    1
  2661. Id tell you nephew to work in a real trade so he is not forced to make his hobby his career.
    1
  2662. Yes the CF Synchros and replacing the worn parts solved the issues.
    1
  2663. Glad you enjoyed it Casey! Thanks again for the support! Hope you are doing well!
    1
  2664. 4th should be direct drive 1:1. That may give you a clue. Ive actually only built one of thee transmissions and have little Nissan experience
    1
  2665.  @jj205mi  Luckily you can get brand new input shaft (4th gear set) for these trans. Toyota guys around the world should be jealous!
    1
  2666. Thank you for the awesome products! You are a big asset to the Corolla community.
    1
  2667. Factory. Yes, the car is dying for standalone Im sorry haha
    1
  2668. As long as the dizzy works in the end!
    1
  2669. Yes works with almost all manual trans vehicles
    1
  2670. This advisor got fired from his previous advisor job for not up selling enough - even the basic services! Must be tough to sell when he was on Facebook all day!
    1
  2671. Much appreciated!
    1
  2672. Yes. Tomei 264 Poncams
    1
  2673. Yes we get them from the dealership. Aftermarket gear sets are also widely available.
    1
  2674. Only the RX8 is an AZ6, the TL70 in the FRS is based on thr same desgin, but interally has many differences. Most synchros will not be compatible.
    1
  2675.  @MrOTBxTrains  Can you take pictures. You email me or DM or IG/FB
    1
  2676. BEAMS is a serious engine indeed! Has also proven to be very reliable.
    1
  2677. Thanks for insight. I had an unshielded bearing transmission bearing fail (explode) after one track day. If it was just a street car/cruiser you may never have any issues.
    1
  2678. Subaru's official spec is 1qt in 1300 miles. Ive seen between 1 qt and 1/2 qt consumed in 5000 miles
    1
  2679. Message the owner @rikosway he is willing to sell any of his cars for the right price
    1
  2680. Not a surprise. Everytime there would be a new TSB or tech tip, it would just "show up" no real announcement or fanfare
    1
  2681. Glad I could help! Makes my own life 10x easier, hoped it would do the same for others.
    1
  2682. NEGLECT!

  2686. Very Interesting!
    1
  2687. Thank YOU for the opportunity! Great experience and learned a lot that day!

  2688. Such a rad livery. Car caught my eye as soon I stepped in the gates
    1
  2689. Bingo. Thank you for the watch
    1
  2690. You guys asked and I listened! Glad you enjoyed!
    1
  2691. Countershaft bearings and/or 4th gearset (input shaft) is worn
    1
  2692.  @shobud7561  If you plan to do any motorsport events, trans swap. If this is just a street car, bearings and syncros. But be prepared to source a new input and counter shaft if 4th gear teeth are worn.
    1
  2693.  @Nontas1993  The T50 is an odd ball as it breaks almost every single transmission "text book diagnosis rule." Assume your countershaft bearings are not worn, because in the real world, they never wear in a T50 under normal circumstances. Yes a worn input shaft bearing can cause gear whine in all gears except 4th. Worn input shaft (4th gear) and input shaft bearing is super super super common.
    1
  2694. Toradora is my favorite. Taiga is in memory of a friend who passed too soon.
    1
  2695. Glad you found this useful!
    1
  2696. Boost leak testers are cheap enough on amazon. Biggest culprit of boost leaks is hose clamps
    1
  2697. "Why would anyone want to fix cars in 2024" Those of us left who own shops catering to the enthusiast community do it because we are still passionate about it - knowing full well we could get rid of all the headaches, make double the pay, and have double the free time by working a desk job. I have friends still at dealerships feeling "stuck" working there as they dont know what other path to take or feel too comfortable working there (despite all the pitfalls)
    1
  2698. OER carbs? I'm not for carbs sorry haha. Next episode, you'll see head has already been previously professionally ported. I've been running Poncams for the past 7 years also. I recall on a big port, the ports are already too big, so its recommended not to go O/S valves
    1
  2699. I imagine there is some kit or gearset that allows removal of those gears. So it is possible is you or someone makes it.
    1
  2700. Thanks to YOUR advice. Will polish them up in the future.
    1
  2701. We do a video of every single oil pan we drop. As you can see thus far, every single one has an issue
    1
  2702.  @hatteras33  Follow my advice in the second part of the below video and contact Toyota/Subaru corperate directly. You are wasting time fighting with the dealership https://youtu.be/2ZCzLtIhMzw
    1
  2703. Thanks for the support! V2 of this should in in stock soon!
    1
  2704. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  2705. As am I. Although a MOUNTAIN of work!
    1
  2706. You need an adapter plate https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com/collections/sq-engineering-x-bgrs/products/apollo-works-4a-7a-to-w58-transmission-adapter-kit
    1
  2707. I dont think so. I still think it is a great enthusiast car with a good fit and finish. Its just going to have this RTV quirk, like some BMW M engines needing rod bearings every 60k or something.
    1
  2708. Will not. And I would NOT run a valve on a gen2 as you want as many contaiminants as possible drained out during the oil service (the valve can block all the rtv from draining out.
    1
  2709. Thanks Max! Despite being a "millennial" I am actually VERY low tech. Im familiar with face time on FB messenger, but not sure about the audio quality compared to cellular network.
    1
  2710. Thanks for the continued support!
    1
  2711. SEE YOU THERE!
    1
  2712.  @nzuncovered1845  Yes and I'll never do it again. The end gear is so brittle so that we broke it pressing the roll pin out. Had to weld the gear back together. The roll pin is so tough that you cannot drill it out either like the 16v
    1
  2713.  @nzuncovered1845  Just they are all just 2 prongs and yes they can go on in the wrong direction on reinstall.
    1
  2714. If you plan to drive the car hard, I still recommend the SYMS baffle - only baffle on the market proven to work.
    1
  2715. Email is best. ezekiel.lee@yahoo.com Be aware I am horrendously slow and expensive, but I also build time attack winning transmissions.
    1
  2716.  @1carusjohn32  There is defnity a different in service and warrenty language between the USA and the rest of the world - and not for the better.
    1
  2717. Much appreciated boss!
    1
  2718. My customer is testing the new Killer B baffle this weekend If it works against oil starvation, my other time attack customer plans to test the Killer B baffle and SYMS installed together.
    1
  2719. Glad you enjoyed!
    1
  2720. Try Amayama.com or you may have to buy a used one. The middle east and UAE seems to always have discontinued or hard to find classic JDM parts
    1
  2721. Thanks Casey! Merry Xmas!
    1
  2722.  @olympiabmx  Much appreciated!

  2723. On cold start the oil filter gets bypassed and RTV can make it into the engine

  2732. Good luck!
    1
  2733. Yes, the owners last straw was when on the freeway, the steering wheel would abruptly turn on him for no reason.
    1
  2734. No real updates for a part 4 yet. We are still doing RTV inspections and oil strainer cleanings at the shop. Still waiting on an official response or TSB/recall for this issue as Im sure many owners are.
    1
  2735. Review? It feels weird to review my own car lol. Perhaps another local YouTuber can film me.
    1
  2736. Directly from the sumo springs website. Link should be in the description.

  2737. UNITE!
    1
  2738. Buy more warrenty. Bring my wallet....hold on a sec....
    1
  2739.  @M-PASTA  Agreed. Gen1 and 2 are great all around drivers cars EXCEPT the POS engine.
    1
  2740. Rear are copy fenders from Fine Line Tuning. Fronts are body worked
    1
  2741. Lol there is going to be new recall after that recall just like Ford and their airbag fiasco. IIRC that job pays 35hrs under warranty. Insane. Even more insane is that most dealership service managers will not fight Toyota corporate to increase the labor time on that job because who gives a F about us technicians. We are all "replaceable" am I right?
    1
  2742. Likewise! And thank you for the support. We have a few minor things to address, but look forward to track videos in the near future!
    1
  2743. Thank you! Cheers!
    1
  2744. Red typically means got overheated. I'll bring the wagon out soon!
    1
  2745. Much appreciated! We both have almost no experience with dry sump systems. And thank you I just adopted my dog about a month ago from the shelter.
    1
  2746. Thanks so much for the kind words. I really got down on myself about how bad the video quality was and my own shaking made me motion sickness when watching the video. Definitively except more car spot light videos!
    1
  2747. GTST calipers only. If you want to run z32 or R32 GTR calipers you need to run a smaller diameter rotor.
    1
  2748.  @19KiloM1A1  I actually have 2 rights and a left caliper I can sell. Shoot me an email. ezekiel@cmautohaus.com
    1
  2749. The engine is literally crying tears of blood from the inside
    1
  2750. Lol glad you caught that
    1
  2751. You are too kind! Watching my own shaking camera gave me motion sickness!
    1
  2752. Use the contact us form on our website. We are overbooked on work, but can make some exceptions
    1
  2753. Ask your local 86 community for a shop recommendation
    1
  2754. I would still have an RTV inspection performed for the first two oil changes. We've found issues early on from the RTV inspection https://youtu.be/43BQEbKQhBI?si=1F4E9XLJbEWWOBZX
    1
  2755.  @Ccortanaa  We have a rich 86 track and touge community here in the Bay Area and have had engine failures (even with street driven cars). Watch Zygrene's YouTube channel. I can personally name about close to 10 Gen2 engine failures in my local area Toyota of Japan's official stance is that the RTV is a "non issue" Although if you watch Japanese YouTube, Japanese shops are also doing oil strainer cleanings
    1
  2756. Thanks for watching! More to come!!!

  2757. They are testing their 3 cyl in this chassis. I can only assume they are fed up with the Subaru engine rubbish

  2760. Thanks, I bring Dexter to work everyday

  2761. Yes big power RB26 Skylines have been doing this for ages - overfilling and running a return to sump AOS/catch can
    1
  2762. Thanks for the support!
    1
  2763. The Seven sisters are furious at this comment lol
    1
  2764. Taka Aono told me big power S15 guys all run the NISMO gearset to hold the power.
    1
  2765. Thanks for the support and your question!
    1
  2766. More of a shock to turn the knob and actually have cold air come out.
    1
  2767. The last of us running automotive performance shops dont do it for the money; we do it because we are passionate about it I love the problem solving, helping my community, modifying cars, keeping the culture alive, and being my own boss. The big draw backs are the pressures of running a small business, the long hours (and bringing work home), and low pay. The trend locally seems like once shop owners turn 40 years old they call it quits and get a desk job. I've been trying to find a sustainable way to make my business work so it doesnt have to come to that.
    1
  2768. Yes. But you'd have to pay out of pocket then hope the technician takes pride in his work - under the flat rate system, you are paid by how fast you do a job, not how well you do it which is why so much work that comes out of dealerships is half ass or downright dishonest. Fun example: 2006 legacy cabin filters are a bit of a pain to replace because of all the interior clips - I used to work with a tech who would just straight throw the cabin filter away and flag the labor time because FLAT RATE!
    1
  2769.  @lawnmower6591  Every single vehicle is affected by excess RTV applied from the factory. Every. Single. One.
    1
  2770. We hope a safe and happy holidays for you and yours.
    1
  2771. If I had to take an educated guess, Euro cars have been using timing chains for so long now, they probably have the silicone thing figured out. Subaru has just hit 10yrs with a chain driven engine.

  2777. I havent built an R154 in a long time, but I dont believe you need any SSTs
    1
  2778. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYvEZqmp7tc We've removed pans mutiple times on the same cars in the past. My advice to customers: this a "once and done" repair for a daily driver. For a canyon/track car, I'd drop the pan again in about 50k miles.
    1
  2779.  @xzivr4894  Id recommend doing it at 1,000 miles
    1
  2780. Customer bought the fully loaded Drift Motion rebuild kit. You can check the site for the price. Our shop labor rate for transmission rebuild is expensive and steers most people away. If you are still interested you can email me for a quote. ezekiel.lee@yahoo.com

  2791. Accord to this, its opposite. https://www.bestsynthetic.com/graphics/bypass_dia_600px.jpg
    1
  2792. Same process with aftermarket cams. Some very aggressive cams require shim under bucket or solid buckets
    1
  2793. Hey thank you for the awesome comment and insight. Yes I imagine a higher grade helicoil would change things. Interesting many engine parts such as aluminum blocks are not helicoiled from the factory.
    1
  2794. No one makes a "kit." You have to piece together parts numbers from Nissan, Mazda, Toyota.
    1
  2795. Thanks for watching!
    1
  2796. Glad this helped!
    1
  2797. Same pick up design. It is a 5 sided mesh
    1
  2798. Yes they make a version for GTR
    1
  2799.  @coreysmithcoreysz3254  Makes sense. I believe a few companies like GK Tech make adjustable pedal stops.

  2800. Fremont, CA. Business inquires to ezekiel@cmautohaus.com

  2801. Word is, that is Toyota of Japan's official stance

  2802. Glad it was helpful!
    1
  2803. They make various version of these valves. We have the metric version from Battle Garage RS.
    1
  2804. Thank you for the watch and support! The dealership is certainly a dirty place behind the polished front entrance
    1
  2805. Depends on dealer policy or the service writer. Ive had to do warranty jobs on plenty of modified cars - no extra time to put all the mod back on and off - told in so many words to "suck it up"
    1
  2806. The Martelius HO non resonated verision sounds like it is for you!

  2812. Thanks for the watch and support!

    1
  2814. Appreciate it!!
    1
  2815. All the parts minus driveshaft for a J160 swap will be around $1200. The IMPULSE kit minus driveshaft expect $3500. Unfortunately the AE86 chassis has definite become a "pay to play" chassis and is only getting more expensive.

  2816. Anything you want to see or learn about in the next episode please LMK!

  2817. And also one of the coolest owners!

  2818. Check for worn bushings or loose arm bolts.
    1
  2819. Its just a 5 gallon bucket of gear oil. I am an Amsoil dealer so I buy the 5 gal pail of 75w90 Amsoil severe gear. The pump part is called a bucket pump I think. Mine is OTC brand
    1
  2820. Thank you for the kind words. For home use, a harbor freight trans jack works great. Here at the shop we have a Norco brand dual piston unit.
    1
  2821. Agreed!
    1
  2822. I imagine all the hydraulic lines and stuff is a heavy mess!
    1
  2823. Agreed. At this point it seems like an accusump system is the answer - which is a ridiculous ask for the casual track/ autox enthusiast
    1
  2824.  @mrs_radrod  Sorry what is COM?
    1
  2825. Thanks!
    1
  2826. For 99% of cars no. Required for 7AG, highly recommended for a track carvthat sees extended times at high rpms
    1
  2827. No worries. To each his own!
    1
  2828. Yes that is the correct way. To do this requires you make a new harness with three relays.
    1
  2829. We just did a FRS with a similar issue. The pressure plate failed and the clutch would not completely disengage.
    1
  2830.  @treydarealestproductions7188  If your clutch hydraulic system is not leaking and is free of air, and all our clutch/shifter linkages are ok, I'd remove the trans to investigate the clutch itself

  2843.  @knoxtoy87  yes
    1
  2844. You definitely missed out. From what I understand, people/cars who NEVER come out, came to this event. Also people who has stored their AE86 for many years got their cars running for this event. Absolutely a lifetime memory for me.
    1
  2845. Much appreciated. Thank you for the kind words!
    1
  2846. And treat you with respect, not as a dollar sign.
    1
  2847. You could be right! I'll reveal what I made sometime soon!
    1
  2848. Of course! I've had transmissions and even a car ship to me already.
    1
  2849. Bingo. Service write/manager tell you to diagnostic road test with a customer without an RO - unpaid Diagnostic on a car under warranty and you have to order the part (customer will return at a later date) - unpaid Diag time on another tech's come back - unpaid The saga continues...
    1
  2850.  @alexandergunaka666  This is why being a dealer tech is legalized slave labor - you are reprimanded for refusing to work for free - used to happen all the time - getting written up or fired for refusing to work for free

  2851. Riko Style!

  2852. I heard Midas and SpeeDee merged because of a fist fight or someone touched someone else's wife. Some wild story like that

  2861. Wait for next week. The story of how I filed an OSHA complaint against my dealership - ps. we didnt have bathrooms or clean drinking water. Fun times!
    1
  2862. Yeah that was definitely concerning!
    1
  2863. Check out my videos on the IMPULSE adapter. Its the same transmission

  2880. I believe 2013 was the last year for the xrunner in the continental US. Older ones had clutch/transmission issues, so I'd get the newest one you can. Still LOVE my truck to this day.
    1
  2881. The gear's "indent/dot" (not the roll pin), and the indent/dot on the dizzy body.
    1
  2882. Thank you for the watch!
    1
  2883. Thanks for the tidbit!
    1
  2884. Looks like still pre-order, but you can email them directly to find out for sure.
    1
  2885. I think this customer asked me to recheck in one year as well.
    1
  2886. Hard right hand turns on sticky tires we've seen up to 60psi oil pressure drops. My club racer customers are experiementing with oil pan baffles.
    1
  2887. At the age of these cars, it worth it for the piece of mind to pull the head and do the whole service.
    1
  2888. Gasp!
    1
  2889. Winner winner chicken dinner!
    1
  2890. Glad you gained from this video and thank you for the kind words!
    1
  2891. Yes it is possible for RTV to pass through the strainer screen and make it through the engine. Possible places for RTV to get stuck at that point are oil passages and the internal oil control valve filters inside the camshaft carriers
    1
  2892. Like all the women in my life.
    1
  2893. Glad to be of service!
    1
  2894. Catch up haha. I quit my day job Dec 2019 and have running Autohaus full time since then.
    1
  2895.  @downt3mpo  Thank you for the kind words!
    1
  2896. Glad you found me on YouTube and thank you for the kind words! The team was just at the Toprank open house so look forward to those videos!
    1
  2897. Glad you enjoyed it! Pt2 install releases Monday.
    1
  2898. Here are some excerpts from CTP Cryogenics "One thing to remember is the WPC Increases residual surface compression while at the same time reduces the sharp edges that cause stress risers by which creates the failures. Also the surface treatment helps create oil reservoirs that hold the oil on the surface of the gears are they fling most of it off. That barrier also protects the gears from wear and tear. " "Thank you for your interest. We typically see the trans stand up to higher toque and HP values. We’ve had different reports back over the years. Some claim 35% more torque whole others higher. What we can say is that the shifting should be improved and the harmonics are reduced so the gearbox should be able to transmit more energy to the diff. "

  2899. I didnt realize Raul brought this car on Hoonigan until recently!
    1
  2900. This will be fine. Ive had the 2-3 crack professional welded in the past as well.
    1
  2901. SQ engineering W58/J160 swap trans mount via Battle Garage RS https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com/products/sq-engineering-ae86-to-j160-gearbox-mount?_pos=3&_sid=79c6f1434&_ss=r
    1
  2902. Gloss black under the aerocovers
    1
  2903. Your probably talking about a T5, not T50
    1
  2904. You can follow @corollacivic on IG. He is the owner Its a super aggressive kit - massive increase in front track width and heavy steering. Not sure how Doctored Garage is able to run 15x8's
    1
  2905.  @Adolcysf  Link to the street kit? I dont see it on their website?
    1
  2906.  @Adolcysf  Im actually really not familiar with drift set ups as I've always been a "grip" guy (HPDE and AutoX). So Id like to see an "OG" drift set up to compare ie knucles, LCA's, ect I'd say the biggest draw back for a street car is the super heavy steering feel after the angle kit install - the owner of the car in this vid is actually requesting me install electric p/s next
    1
  2907.  @Adolcysf  The advantage of running more positive caster is better high speed stability and better return to center for the steering, I believe you want both for a drift set up
    1
  2908. We do not sorry!
    1
  2909. You are too kind! And we already have had headaches appear during this swap haha!
    1
  2910. Still a 2024 issue. Check out our oil pan drop playlist
    1
  2911.  @Sk3tchyD  Id perform our non invasive RTV inspection at 1,000 then 6,000 miles first.
    1
  2912. And then we have to buy our own tools, PPE, Uniform. And we are reprimanded for refuse to work for free.
    1
  2913. An excellent question that is beyond my pay grade. I am just a work ant in the system.  @yuglesstube 
    1
  2914. He just displayed at JCCS with his airride set up!
    1
  2915. I see you are a man of culture as well
    1
  2916. I'll have to find out. I've only done a trans R&R in an SR20 swapped S13 and I dont remember it being that difficult.
    1
  2917. Glad you find our content useful! Cheers!
    1
  2918. I will look into Amazon Affiliates. Thanks Evan!
    1
  2919. Thanks! Will do!
    1
  2920. From the comments, it seems like its also a Canada thing as well
    1
  2921. Sound like you have a defective tool.
    1
  2922. Im sure its something loose on my personal car. You would have to diagnose where the vibration is coming from.
    1
  2923. Thanks! Im 32 this year, started training when I was 15. Its the "Asian aging" thing - we never look our age
    1
  2924. My personal recommendation: Bring it to a specialist, perform the borescope and oil filter inspection. If after 3 oil changes, RTV keeps accumulating in the oil filter, remove the oil pan and clean the strainer.
    1
  2925. Thanks glad you liked it!
    1
  2926. Thanks!
    1
  2927. Solid answer! Thanks Chris! Yeah I've only seen a picture of ONE single failure case, but completely makes sense.
    1
  2928. Much appreciated as always!
    1
  2929. Super important adjustment. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  2930. You bet!
    1
  2931. Fighting an engine failure warranty case. Oh what a feeling!
    1
  2932. Thanks you!
    1
  2933.  @dave4956  Thank you and Will do!
    1
  2934. Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed!
    1
  2935. I dont tell anyone at the dog park I frequent that I work on cars for this reason lol. I work at a "small startup"
    1
  2936. Not familiar with that trans, but very likely!
    1
  2937. Likewise, he was a very popular guy to talk to so it was tough to get a 1 on 1 and find out more
    1
  2938. Yes
    1
  2939. Great tip!
    1
  2940. Unfortunately not. This trans has many other weakness' including the C-clip and gear strength
    1
  2941. Much appreciated! That is actually me. Haha
    1
  2942. I havent dealt with an R155 before so Im not sure. But they are NOT going to be interchangeable.
    1
  2943. Thanks!
    1
  2944. Its a hell of an uphill battle. You will need a ton of time for research, good friends in the community, and a friend well versed in standalone set up
    1
  2945. No. Z31, S13, and S14 transmissions are all based on the same architecture, but different internally.
    1
  2946. Nice! Glad you found this video useful!
    1
  2947. You would be shocked for some reason for many, they can justify an very expensive part, but it is not worth it to pay the labor to install.
    1
  2948. Likewise, such a cool car, but also such a pain in the rear! (Pun intended)
    1
  2949. While the service manager is in his air conditioned office singing the "Be a man" song
    1
  2950. Haha good eye!
    1
  2951. Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the content!
    1
  2952. Thanks for the watch! Glad you found this useful
    1
  2953. He is wary of all new people and especially new dogs. Takes time for him to warm up.
    1
  2954. Ah yes....such is life
    1
  2955. Try adjusting the reverse lockout plate on the shifter
    1
  2956. Physical fitment. The forums say the mounting legs are in different positions for the Z32. I have a pair of late model Z32 reman calipers comming this week to find out for sure.
    1
  2957. Best of luck!
    1
  2958. Much appreciated boss!
    1
  2959. Thanks for the watch and support!
    1
  2960. You need a bigger compressor. The shop compressor is the 30gal Harbor Freight one. Its air volume, not pressure you need. IIRC my regular is always set at approx 100psi
    1
  2961. Although some cars MAY* present an issue. I had no problems on a 3rd gen MR2, but it did not work for me on a 1st gen MR2. Possible user error on my end?
    1
  2962.  @michaelsotomayor5001  I dont see why not, bigger cooling system just means it will take longer to build vacuum
    1
  2963. Its really unfortunate you have to spend A LOT of time and money on supporting mods for this to even be a casual canyon car because the chassis itself and the driving experience is excellent.
    1
  2964. Much appreciated!
    1
  2965. An acquired taste lol. Subaru and Rotary guys are die hard
    1
  2966. Naw. We are all disposable, we can always hire another tech...
    1
  2967. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbupMi92FUE
    1
  2968. Thank you for the kind words. I was a Subaru dealer tech for about 3 years and I was not happy with how Subaru of America handled certain issues technicians had to deal with: online service manuals with gross errors are refused by SOA to be updated, hiding root cause failures, I could go on and on.
    1
  2969. 4 piece set of what? It may not work with LHD cars as the HVAC boxes are now on the left side on a RHD car. The cables at least will be different lengths.
    1
  2970. The dont do CV axles, but anything with U-joints they can do; They can do classic Datsun rear axles as those are all U Joints. A shop that will rebuild CV axles is super rare these days. Are there any beefy aftermarket options you can get?
    1
  2971. Hey Steve thank you for the well written response "What a customer could do is ask the dealer to capture the drained oil, and oil filter on the first couple of oil changes (under ToyotaCare) to see if there is evidence of RTV in either." I dont know if it is a California thing, but Toyota dealerships here are very high volume and are literally rushing out quick lubes with up to 4 lube monkeys per car. The general consensus from my GR86 customers is that they have been told by Toyota dealers that they have never seen the issue and nothing should be done about it. Which is why so many owners have come to our shop to do our in house inspection.
    1
  2972. Fremont, CA. Pricing should be on our website under the services page cmautohaus.com
    1
  2973. Yes it should fit!
    1
  2974. Bingo
    1
  2975. You can ask them directly. I know they have some single disc kits that hold A LOT of power
    1
  2976. I sure can once I get another customer rebuild. Supporting the channel via merch or Patreon also gives me buffer time away from shop work to make videos like these.
    1
  2977. Hahaha Thank you Oliver! I completely had no idea the positive response I'd recieve for this clunker lol.
    1
  2978. Well worth it! I always feel guilty that JSP stuff looks better than anything else on my car.
    1
  2979. The more you know!
    1
  2980. At one dealer, I fixed all the "fastest tech's" come backs (usually for free or half my wage). No wonder his productivity numbers were so spectacular!
    1
  2981. Make sure to watch all 3 parts!
    1
  2982. Dealers are not taking transmission apart. If they can verify an issue and your car is under warranty, you will get a new transmission. Make sure to ask to road test with the technician and take video of the problem happening.
    1
  2983.  @ZayJiayuLiu  Sounds like you are getting the run around. You need to skip the dealer and call the SOA customer hotline, file a case
    1
  2984. HELLZ YEAH BROTHER
    1
  2985. More than I can afford pal... Porsche
    1
  2986. Only the new 86 chassis (FRS,BRZ,GR86). We are qualified to work on other cars, but do not have the manpower. Like the rest of the industry, I have not been able to find a good tech to stay on.
    1
  2987. Exactly why the technician shortage
    1
  2988. Thank you for the generous support. It really means a lot as a small business owner.
    1
  2989. Excellent point. Noted.
    1
  2990. Much appreciated! 100% of proceeds go right back into the media work!
    1
  2991. I have not done one yet. But I am very willing to take one on.
    1
  2992. Its possible for containants to get trapped inside internal engine oil passages and filters (OCV filters in the cam carriers)
    1
  2993. The bearings I sourced came in OEM Nissan packaging. C3 should mean automotive grade, Ive had issues with some others
    1
  2994.  @TienyPIU  Gearboxvideo has a video on how to read bearing PNs and manual trans bearing types. I think he states C3 means automotive grade, which makes sense for me since Ive dealt with plenty of open face C3 bearings. Good call dealing directly with NTN!
    1
  2995. Thanks for the support! Yes, look forward to it!
    1
  2996. Far less NVH with a 2 piece which is why I always recommend them for a street car. But for a track only car, 1 piece is good option.
    1
  2997. Yeah I definitely felt like that was a lost opportunity on their part to gain a product/company spotlight. They told me they've sold hundreds without an issue, but someone commented in a previous vid that they had the same issue with their manifold and got the same email runaround from Danst
    1
  2998. I have typically bought kits/parts from Cobra Transmission. US made synchros and Japanese bearings
    1
  2999. XR-underground forum would be a good start.
    1
  3000.  @404nobrakes  https://youtu.be/AYvEZqmp7tc I'd still like to do another oil pan drop after 1 year on a street car just to gather more data.
    1
  3001.  @GR_Fourrarizz  New oil pan baffles keep getting released - lets see what the aftermarket comes up with. I should be installing a prototype Killer B baffle next week for a customer
    1
  3002. Thanks for the kind words!
    1
  3003. Lol Yikes is right.
    1
  3004. Much appreciated Allen! More to come!
    1
  3005. Its meant for a JDM car where the brake is on the right side. I cut off the brake level sensor on my own car so I can take the cap on/off
    1
  3006. What clutch/flywheel do you have?
    1
  3007. Yup. few years ago we had a Texas transplant do the same, essentially full refresh/restore.
    1
  3008. Its most all dealerships. I worked 3 years at a Mercedes Dealer during the 2008 recession
    1
  3009. Its what makes a Subaru...a Subaru!
    1
  3010. This is exactly how Subaru's will really have a built in Vape option...mind blown.
    1
  3011. Stay tuned for my Stoptech BBK install on the R33 (fixed my brake issue)
    1
  3012. You read the FSM and google "how to inspect and LSD and rear differential"
    1
  3013. Before you make a BIG shift, try to see if you can transfer within the government. I had a few co workers transfer to law enforcement. I finished my BA and was about to go into counseling.
    1
  3014. Hey thanks for the support! WOW you could get a 4WD 4AGZE?!?!
    1
  3015. Have you read the FSM? Its pretty straight forward, but you need an SST
    1
  3016. Lol at predicting the future... https://youtu.be/pWQ1KV9uSAo
    1
  3017.  @KingdomCre8tive  Thanks for the support LOL!
    1
  3018. Go home Pokemon and get out of my oil pickup !
    1
  3019. Glad to help!
    1
  3020. Well too bad lol!
    1
  3021. Glad you liked it!
    1
  3022. There is a better option comming in the next 2 months...
    1
  3023. Thank you! Cheers!
    1
  3024. No. Recommended only after a big oil system repair
    1
  3025. Thanks for the kind words!
    1
  3026. Nice
    1
  3027. A private owner made it himself. You can also contact Bermuda Wire
    1
  3028. Lol glad you enjoy my humor
    1
  3029. Ah, in the grand scheme of things it could be worse. I'm having much bigger problems with a few customers cars ATM that need serious custom work.
    1
  3030. yes
    1
  3031. Im guessing 2024 engines will have "some" changes from the factory in reguards to the RTV issue, but it wont fix the problem. I am curious AF, why we didnt see this excess RTV getting stuck in the strainer issue on the FA20's. Like what did Subaru change in their manufacturing process that made things worse?
    1
  3032. Prices are absolutely crazy right now. I bought mine about 5 years ago 15k miles, salvage title $23,xxx. Fast forward today I believe a higher mileage 2010 Xrunner with factory TRD supercharger sold locally for $43,xxx
    1
  3033. Dreams. Goals. NEEDS!
    1
  3034. Awesome! Thank you so much for the insight!
    1
  3035. You just need to know how to sell!
    1
  3036. Tough call. But I would check the basics. Trans fluid level and condition, clutch pedal height and free play, ect.
    1
  3037. There is always something to do. Check this video for what I mean on how many roles a tech has to do. https://youtu.be/CfevTLNjNIM Pre 2010-ish we literally got no base pay, so no hourly wage Today I think you get minimum wage
    1
  3038. If you push the brake pedal slightly with the brake master removed, you should be able to gain access to the adjusting portion.
    1
  3039. Did you check the FSM or google it? Because we have no idea either
    1
  3040. Amsoil Moly grease.
    1
  3041. Much embarrass, Much sad.
    1
  3042.  @jessemiller2795  Yes the GTR is wider. Currently the bumper does not fit as tight in some spots and have been modified by a previous owner to fit better
    1
  3043. Nice! You must be local.
    1
  3044. 100 percent agree
    1
  3045. The point was that under the flat rate system (commission without base pay), a tech literraly makes ZERO dollars an hour for anything else that is not "flagged time" (working on a car). So every other role in the dealer that a tech is forced to fill nets him a literal ZERO dollars an hour. I think it hits home far better after a 10 hour day of productivity and helping the company to make a grand total of $22 dollars at the end of the day - Legally.
    1
  3046. As soon as parts come back from WPC/Cyro treatment, I will film the next part Here is a previous S14 trans build: https://youtu.be/5OWI7kz5hCo
    1
  3047. Possibly soon! I have a potential out of state customer!
    1
  3048. I should have asked if it was a custom color since I imagine the car had to get repainted for the molded body kit.
    1
  3049. I'd message JSP Fab to find out. Link in description for the alternator bracket.
    1
  3050. Thank you for the kind words!
    1
  3051. You should be fine with the 2020. Most all the bugs got fixed by that year.
    1
  3052. Much appreciated!
    1
  3053. I use a spare transmission yoke. Toyota W58 yoke is the same as as the FRS trans. Otherwise they make universal plastic tools to plug the rear end. Back in the bad when I didnt have the yoke tool, I'd just drain the transmission
    1
  3054. You're welcome
    1
  3055. Internals are similar. Cases are completely different. May be able to just swap cases.
    1
  3056. "Truuuuu" - 2Chainz
    1
  3057. BIG plans! Happy new year and thanks for the support!
    1
  3058. Will NOT be covered. I had a customer pay out of pocket for the dealership to drop the oil pan and they did a very poor job
    1
  3059. Watanabe
    1
  3060. Thank you for the kind words and support sincerely appreciate it
    1
  3061. Thanks for watching!
    1
  3062. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  3063. I'd try every 10k miles until we get more data on the RTV situation
    1
  3064. The oem bearing retainer and thrust washer are both known weak points that can shatter. I recommend the entire billet upgrade for any R154 rebuild
    1
  3065. If you come up to NorCal, an ex-BGRS employee has the one working prototype. Still working flawlessly to this day I might add
    1
  3066. I've heard this "saying" from American car salesman: "The more you know about cars, the worse car salesman you will be"
    1
  3067. Much appreciated! Working my hardest!
    1
  3068. More 2.5RS' to come!
    1
  3069. Bingo
    1
  3070. Thanks for the watch Allison! Your transmissions are great!
    1
  3071. The people have spoken!
    1
  3072. Yes with the RTV inspections we've done so with the 2024's, its looking like 98% are fine, 2% have a serious RTV issue like the early 2022 cars
    1
  3073. The XL header should be fine
    1
  3074. Once I get the brakes sorted yes!
    1
  3075. Glad it helped! Thanks for the support!
    1
  3076. Likewise. Probably my favorite of the event!
    1
  3077. Cannot. Housings are different.
    1
  3078. yes correct
    1
  3079. A few good prys and PB blaster should do. Why I always recommend anti seize on the engine dowel pins
    1
  3080.  @naythoniemsisanith3222  Good stuff! Glad you got it!
    1
  3081.  @naythoniemsisanith3222  That crank trigger wheel sits behind the flywheel. I'd double check around that area. Make sure the crank sensor/wiring didnt get damaged.
    1
  3082. Yes. Also correct for most any solid rear axle car.
    1
  3083. Thanks!
    1
  3084. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  3085. Thank you for the insight and the watch
    1
  3086. "They overcharge and don’t pay a rushed tech to cut corners" And Bingo was his Name-o
    1
  3087. The camera guy missed my facial reaction when they announced my name - apparently that expression was even more funny.
    1
  3088. Were you able to keep the oem sandwich plate and oil cooler?
    1
  3089. Car did not run at the time
    1
  3090. The new Toyota Pink should be backwards compatible with older cars BUT you cannot put the red coolant in newer Toyotas that require pink
    1
  3091. Yeah I forgot which article it was, but in the EU this is being handled differently than for us in the USA.
    1
  3092. Do not
    1
  3093. Thanks for the support as always!
    1
  3094. Or cleaning bathrooms at the used car dealership, probably qualified to do both haha
    1
  3095. Thanks for the love Alex! Late nights at the shop are both magical and exhausting!
    1
  3096. Much appreciated! I truly love the manual transmission!
    1
  3097. Yes there are at least 2 modules than can be removed along with all the hydraulic lines, although you also need to modify your p/s pump
    1
  3098. There are a few quirks I'll have to make a video about that are annoying haha. My least favorite is no fuel filler restrictor so the gas pump keeps falling out and stopping.
    1
  3099. Likewise, Chris ALWAYS one ups me!
    1
  3100. Glad you found this vid useful. Thanks for the watch!
    1
  3101. Glad you found this useful!

  3112. I don't blame Impulse for the oil slide at all. This kit is very complicated as is. Manufacturing tolerances also come into play. Stay tuned for pt 3 in a few days!

  3113. Verus has a service manual on their website. https://www.verus-engineering.com/shop/a0121a-carbon-synchro-kit-brz-frs-gt86-388#attr= Beware. Used trans are dirt cheap and I'd only recommend a rebuild if you are building a performance trans.

  3135. Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes I really miss the podcasts myself, but unfortunately I did not receive the monetary support from the community that I expected, and with my bills doubling this year, I literally could not longer afford to run the podcast. Yes renaming all platforms CM Autohaus was strategic and I'm glad you noticed! Good on you! After the 3rd person I saw online mis-tag the shop on social that was the last straw. And yes thank you so much again for caring about my personal health. I take at least a 20min lunch and eat a lunch everyday! I feel much better after! No kidding right lol.
