Hi, I'm Adam. Follow along with me as I try to build, repair and modify cars. By no means am I a mechanic, however, with a little head scratching I'm sure we can get the job done!
SAYING GOODBYE TO THE UK'S CHEAPEST NISSAN 350Z
In this #youtube video, I took my abandoned #CorsaVXR for its #MOT and fixed some #turbo problems with the help of a new MAP sensor. I also fitted the U.K's cheapest #nissan #350z with a #tesla style head unit.

Not a bad effort overall, For me first time headlight restoration, I chose the 3m restoration kit for dry sanding, After many hours of reseach 3m takes the guess work out of which grit sizes to use!! Just look at the comments here?? The instructions are fool proof, All you need is a variable speed drill 1+2 gear settings and a certified clearcoat manufactured for heads only, No orange peel or cracking, I recommend Meguiars one coat drys in 5min's easy!! 🤔🇬🇧👍
Great work, could you possibly tell me the reg of the car the engine went into? I’m away to buy that engine but he didn’t have any paper work with it
Hi dude I’m buying this car later any chance we could have a chat about it
My corsa opc has the same MAP sensor (Bosch 0 261 230 048) from the factory. I know it because I bought the car new from the dealer. I works well and it is a 0.2 to 2.5 bar and -40 to +130 C . Its specs are: Voltage output is 0.4 to 4.65 V linear to the input pressure 0.2 to 2.5 bar and NTC thermistor of 2.5 Kohm at +20 C. Your new Bosch 0 281 006 076 is a MAP sensor of 0.2 to 3.0 bar and -40 to +130 C. They are different. Their Vout related to the temperature is the same, but the 2nd one outputs 4.65V when P=3.0 bar (not 2.5 bar). The pressure does not get that high, but the problem is that at a given pressure (let's say 1 bar atm + 1.2 bar boost = 2.2 bar absolute pressure), the 2nd sensor (the new one) will output a smaller voltage than the original 1st sensor would output, the ECU will think that the pressure is lower (because of the smaller voltage), and the end result will be the ECU controlling the wastegate in such a way that the actual pressure will be higher than 2.2 bar. Hopefully, the engine will not run a leaner fuel mixture in boost conditions, because the ECU calculates the fuel based on the MAF sensor readings (in open loop mode, no O2 sensor readings at high accelerating) which will be correct. So there will be a mismatch in air pressure and air flow, with unknown results. Theoretically, your ECU will read 1.843 bar (around 0.843 boost) when actual P=2.2bar (1.2 bar boost), and it will produce (if exhaust flow is capable) around 2.635 bar=> around 1.635 bar overboost instead of 1.2bar overboost. Also, it will produce (if exhaust flow is capable) around 2.391 bar => around 1.391 bar normal boost instead of 1.0 bar normal boost. Finally, Bosch 0 261 230 302 and Bosch 0 261 230 283 are drop-in replacements for Bosch 0 261 230 048 . Also, the bad sensor output was low (around 0 V , out of the valid range 0.4 to .65V) and the fault disappeared by replaing it, beacause the bad sensor got out of the system.
Whats the bores oval and taper. Whats your wall clearance Whats your trust clearance Whats your mains and rod bearing clearances. What about valve shimming.. So much not done or checked.. all these details are ignored, which makes the difference in power and reliability and life span.
Hi mate any links for parts used thanks
Hi mate, great vid keep it up. Could you get in contact with me. I just neeed some invoices for yhe vxr mate, the forge paperwork if you can. Thanks
Another great video i had my fingers crossed for your 1st drive to the mot station,great it passed .sad to see the 350z go sounded amazing.good luck with the move u lucky bugger 😂😂😂
Great work on both cars. Both successes!
Thanks man! Bit of an odd video to put together running both cars in one video but needed to be done this time! Thanks again for watching too! 🏎️🏎️🏎️
Sad to see the 350z go but I'm sure it's for the greater 👍
I felt the exact same! I really didn’t want to let this one go but I can’t keep them all! Anyway onwards and upwards! How are you doing also?
Great video bro 😎 and well done on the rebuild and getting it through a mot. Keep up the amazing content bro 😎
Thanks man! It’s coming together! How’s things going your end? I need to spend some time watching yours man! 🏎️🏎️🏎️
I haven’t been uploading anything to be honest but il be starting again soon Iv been busy with other things and getting some parts together and just need to find some time to start working on the cars again.
Head unit is sick.
I know what that’s like man! Seriously life and everything in between gets in the way! I hope all is working well for you and the family though and your all keeping safe! We still need to do something together one of these days! Would be awesome fun to! 👍🏼🙌🏻
I’d really like that bro 😎 it would be amazing, I hope you move next to me bro 😢 I guess not if you getting on a plane ✈️
It's been a while since we've seen the 350Z here on the channel! Now that we have a buyer lined up, I need to get these last few tasks complete. Let me know what you think of the new Tesla Style Head Unit in the comments down below, Would you do this to your 350Z?
I looked like it's the first rebuild you have done becauewhen you were torquing the head bolts they didn't look like 90° turns, don't be surprised you end up with head gasket issues
Hey, thanks for watching! Yes it was the first build. I’m sure we mentioned that? And we did use the correct tightening procedure with torque and then degree tightening, apologies I didn’t do a great job of explaining or showing that in the video. Really appreciate the feedback though 👌🏻🏎️🏎️
Great video, but the final test is whether it lasts under boost and for any length of time!
Very true words… I guess only time will tell! Thanks for watching! 🏎️🏎️
@@adambutler48 It looks like you did a decent job and were mindful of the main things which can screw things up. Fingers crossed.
Great video, Adam. Look forward to catching up with you next month. 😊
Hey man! Yes for sure!!! I can’t wait to see you both! Thank you so much for your help on this one!! Will have some fun this summer. Let’s plan a road trip together!
Why would you not get the upgraded stem seals that have a built on washer to keep them seated
The stem seals that we used were the ones that came in the rebuild kit straight from Nevlock Performance. If I had bought everything individually then I probably would have done so! Thanks for watching man! 🏎️
@adambutler48 I checked nevlock a while back and they sell them s standard on there full rebuild kit. What pistons did you use?
@@shujabeg7625 we used the Wossner 79.5mm pistons with Nevlocks own branded Conrods 👍🏼
@@adambutler48 👍
Its been a long time coming guys but I've finally got my latest video out for you all. Let me know down below what you'd like to see next on the channel! Can anyone guess where I am at the end of the video yet?🏎
Fair play to you man. Ambitious little project but all came good. (I'd say you were fairlu relevied !)
Thanks man, relieved is certainly how I felt when I heard it crank! I’d love to do another one again!
:)
Hey Jack!
Well done Ad what a excellent job to build an engine for the fist time mega scary stuff done to perfection. Well done fella.
Thanks Darron! Been a while coming but pleased to get this one out now! Wait for the updates! Lots to cover and lots of adventures this year! Can’t wait for you to come out here too!
Well done you made that look easy i had my fingers crossed when u got it started👍
Thanks man! I had my fingers crossed too!!! 🤣🤣
Awesome job lads! I'm still curious what the issue was exactly with the very first startup, always eager to learn -) cheers !
Maybe a earth 🤔
Bang on! Turns out it was a bad earth on the started! But the issue was from under the fuse box not the usual spot 🤯🤯
Good efforts bud.
Thanks man! Well pleased it’s not still in thousands of pieces!
Were have you been hiding 😂😂😂
Feels like I’ve been living under a rock for the last 8 months man!
Lol you need to stop leaving me bro 😢, Iv been checking up to see if you have uploaded but you hadn’t. Good to have you back bro.
Hey brother how are you?? Thanks for this! I keep meaning to get things out but life has just got in the way all this time. What’s new in your world?
Nothing new but since you back il start uploading again, my new channel is @weflipanycar
Well done on getting the car sorted bro 😎.
Yeahh do it man, Let me check out the new channel...
Looking good big man
How are you big guy? Miss you
All good here missing you to bro
What happened to the videos bro
You beautiful British wanker you just saved my ass 😅 you have no idea how long I have been fighting the upper oil pan. Until I watched your video I didn’t realize there were bolts inside that I had to undo. Thanks from your relatives across the pond.
This car is now up for sale by another owner I’m looking to buy it was there a reason for why you sold it ?
Hi Adam great video just saw the exact same car for sale and was wondering if you could get in contact with me about proof of engine thank you
Great video how much did you get that for needs alot of work but will be fun 👍👍👍
They aren’t deep scratches. It’s where the clear coat cracked because it’s too cold outside
Wow great job, currently looking to do the same thing with the headliner. I'm not too sure about the paint on the visors. I was looking to get black visor, but can only find leather one for the convertible modele (in use and good price). Do you know / think the convertible one will fit the coupe 350z?? Can't really find an answer online for that.Otherwise imma have to paint them like yours! Thanks!!
"Promo SM" 😋
How are you brother, not seeing any uploads lately 😢hope your doing well ❤
I have a black z with the light coffee or "orange" seats. The seats pop and it looks awesome from outside the car. Looking forward to what you will be doing next for the console as I'd like to do it too! There's a sub from SA! Great vid
Thanks for watching! Your right the orange seats do make it unique as most owners do prefer the black seats too. Thank you for the sub also!
Wow great job!
Thanks so much, I aim to be dropping some more 350z content shortly! Thank you so much for watching!
You are about to put a tablet in that spot on the waterfall.
You could well be right bro!
That's tedious 😅 great Patience.
Shouldn't you polish it before applying the clear coat? That is how I restore my headlights and it looks crystal clear.
Thanks for watching, it’s great that you’ve found a way that works well for you! I’ll have to give your way a try next time and see how it comes out too. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Where are you from? in the UK of course
I’m based in Staffordshire. Thanks for watching too 👍🏼👍🏼
Adam another good choice gona be diffrent beast this one. A fully built engine and turbo wow this is a lot of work. Can't wait to see your journey with this one.
Hey Darron! The turbo scares me but some things only get done when we push ourselves to do them hey! You’ll like the end to this one! A fitting end to this journey for once!
As a corsa d vxr owner I must say your brave taking this engine on for your first rebuild although I’ve heard they’re easy to work on once you get to know them, defo gonna follow the channel now and learn from you 👌
Thanks buddy! Really appreciate the watch and sub! I think having taken endless images and having all of the footage from recording does make it a little easier! I firmly believe that we can all do it no matter our skill level! The right few tools and a can do attitude will always prevail!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
@@adambutler48totaly agree 👍👍👍
Ive replaced an engine Adam but this is something else .....great camera work great content well done mate i watched all the way through, impressed
Thanks Dom, wish I had tidied up the garden beforehand but hey sometimes there’s just too much to do. I hope your doing good also!
Couldnt understand why it wasnt just a replace whole engine job untill you said about remaking it to be a built engine. That makes sense. Still this level of dissaseembly makes me stressed!
It stressed me out for a few days before I even attempted to tackle it too 🤣🤣 if there’s one thing I can tell you after doing it, it’s way easier to look at it now and understand what’s going on having done it than it ever was before. I’ve put off doing a job like this for so many years out of fear of messing it up but overall I’d tackle it again in a heart beat. It was a ball of fun looking back on it! Thanks again for watching too!! 👌🏻👌🏻
Respect Adam!
DOM!! We need to do coffee!! I’ll give you a call in the morning! ☕️☕️
Bro 🤩 well done 👏 I wasn’t expecting you to get started on the engine. Really really proud of you doing all that with no experience, Iv got a car you can help me with, we can do a Collab and il pay you as well if you interested. When you all done of course ❤ keep up the amazing content.
Thanks big brother! I’d love to do a collab with you! No need to pay me at all I’m happy to do get stuck in and help out! Let’s chat for sure! I have some pretty big news coming in the next few weeks so we will need to get something out together for both of our followings! That little Fiat of yours has got my taste buds tingling again already!! I am slightly jealous haha ❤️🙏🙏
@@adambutler48 lol 😂 don’t worry bro it’s sold now, and bought sometime a bit differently, im looking forward to hearing your big news, lol what is it tell us now if not when will you be releasing that information out.
Awesome content Brother, great to see already much work on it in its introduction, love that ! Love these cars as well, they get a bit of a bad rap, yet gotta love the performance in these little under the radar things. Your upgrade of the engine sounds fantastic, sounds so much fun and it certainly is to watch, cheers mate !
Hey buddy thanks so much, I’m really appreciative of your feedback and I’m pleased you enjoyed it! I always wanted one of these back when I was 17/18 years old, it was just the insurance that made it impossible back then. You’re right they do get a bad rap don’t they? It’s a shame because they’re a cool little car! Let’s hope the rebuild goes nice and smooth too! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
