He wants to keep it simple. I know turbo kits are relatively simple and maybe he will turbo it but he doesn't wan't it to have power gains on other stock(ish) cars as when your friend has 250bhp and yoou have 350 its kinda awkward
Heat up the door panel with a heat gun and slam it closed. Always done this for my cages and if you need extra clearence slide something with a low profile over the cage beforr slamming it closed!
You ever think about doing an MR2 pump for your power steering? If you're having so many issues with the seals blowing out, might be due to prolonged high pressure while drifting. Between the higher side load of mad skids, and the sustained high volume from the pump spinning so quick, I can see that wearing the seals quickly. Electronic pump would maintain a stable pressure, and possibly longer rack life. I'm no engineer, but I do break things often. Food for thought, love the content, keep it up.
I was watching this video and my 19 month old niece walked in and was mesmerized by you and when the montage music started playing she started dancing 😂 looks like you got a new little fan
I had a random missfire in my truck. It was caused by a hole in my intake manifold gasket. Usually a random missfire is caused by a vacuum leak like I had or a bad coil pack/wire. Most of those sensors will throw a code if they are failing or starting to fail. Also if its not throwing a code for the random missfire it probably isn't happening too often (I haven't driven your car so I don't fully know). The code for a random missfire will show up when 2% of all the fires are misses which isn't a lot. When your check engine light if flashing it usually means more that 10% of all the fires are misses. Hope this helps
Just FYI, the Z’s are known for killing non OEM sensors, the cam sensors especially. They typically only last a few months or so. I’ve had the same problems on mine.
FredWasHere LZ is his last name. I may have it off a bit but it's something like (Lizotte-Zeisler) I probably have spelling wrong but either way LZ is initials
Get a soft bristle brush and clean that radiator up a bit befor things get caked up in between the fins and. It doesn't work as well. Make sure to go with the grain of the fins
Street faction makes door panels for the s13 and s14. Also A different company makes carbon fiber door cards for the s13 and s14 and which you could cut to fit a roll cage and just add a piece of carbon fiber again inside the cut door :)
Take a heat gun to the door card where it hits the cage. Put some extra thickness around the cage (whether its a couple socks or rubber matt etc for extra clearance) Get it hot. Almost too hot but just under than point. And then shut the door tight. That should mold around your cage pretty well where it no longer rubs and prevents it from shutting easily.
i find it funny that adam is barely scratching the surface of rc drifting lol he already owns a rwd d4 but prefers the awd traxxis. really all he needs is someone with a good tune for the d4 and just follow that exactly and it will run really good. My d4 is getting close to that good handleing stage just a few more changes like a prosquat rear and a hybrid stpring mono and should handle better.
So I've heard some things regarding oil filter spacers/sandwich. Some people say that they can lower your oil pressure. Other people say that there is no harm with running them I would like to see what other people have to say before I order one for my SR. Thanks guys!
if its a random mutltiple cylinder missfire, most of the time its either the knock sensor or coil packs, so if you get this issue again i would go straight to replacing all 6 coil packs, happened to me with my z and ive seen it on multiple vq35de equiped vehicles as i am a certified Infiniti mechanic
Hey Adam on the give away 350z you should really consider installing a catch can on it. The engine tends to suck in oil through the pvc systems and from how gummed up the intake looks in the video the car needs one.
Hopefully you replaced the wiring harness to the sensor. a good 90% of the time its the wiring and not the sensor that fails. The wires get brittle over time from all the heat cycles and degrade. Just did the same on my 4runner.
What up Adam !! You’ve attracted me towards 350’a but I live in San Diego and there aren’t any tracks really close to me so drifting would be a meh for me. I still want a 240 to make into a show car because honestly, showing up to a meet in a 350 isn’t as fun as showing up in a 240. I still hope to win the cream z though!! Keep it up Adam!
Should buy some farm land and build a track and a large barn to store some cars in. Have one exotic car for your self to roll in or some land and some beaters to beat around in. Could even do grip type racing as well. Just need to be out of town to do it.
@Adam LZ, are you going to the OSW drift event on the 25th this month? it would be really cool to meet you and the whole crew. I'm traveling in all the way from Colorado Springs, Colorado and i was really bummed that i couldn't make the car meet in Denver. Just wanted to know if i would get to see you and the crew, it would really make my trip. Thanks XD
dude he has like 9 different cars, hes got an s15 waiting to be full built, a 350z hes working on right now, a bmw for roads, i think its safe to say hes getting something new every now and then, but hes said his philosophy on cars is that he doesnt like to get 1 really expensive car but more cheap cars
as i stated his philosophy on cars is that he doesnt buy expensive cars, his 240 is already VERY expensive with the amount of work hes put into it, he would probably NEVER sell it, but still buy other cars like hes doing, so if ur question is will he get something better than a 240 heres my question, whats better than his 240? like honestly what could he go buy and drift that would appease you if a 240/350z/bmw/cresta wont?
I have a similar problem on my gs300 and I read that if the knock sensor goes and I'm not using premium it'll ruin my motor and my dad doesn't let me use premium
I feel like that oil filter setup should have some sort of easily removeable undertray to protect it from debris in the event of going off track I could see it potentially getting smashed up by rocks or something
blake m not necessarily; think about the difference in material thickness for both.. oil pans are much thicker and stronger. Oil filters are thin like a pop can.. you can stab one with a screwdriver easily but you'd never put a screwdriver through an oilman, even if you were Bruce banner
Dylan Mounsey yeh but look how tucked up it is, and on trucks for example a stock gm with a ls the oil filter is under the truck flat with the oil pan and same with a nissan titan so i doubt a clean drift track would do that and it is a 2wd car so the front wheels dont kick as much up
Adam reminds me of this girl I used to talk to in highschool when she was in her emo phase. The constant "grrrrr"s when he's frustrated just triggers that memory in my head lol
Hey Dale
Cleetus McFarland do it for dale
Cleetus McFarland
Have you been sniffing the nitrous again?
Cleetus McFarland Do ir for Dale! My two best yotubers.
DO IT FOR DALE!
Hey dale
That trip clip tho
JLA Garage he took us a little bit too seriously lol
Tought my phone glitched
JLA Garage ikr
Frans Van Zelst same
Frans Van Zelst same😂😂
Vlogs are always better when Alberto shows up.
jay west facts.
I have really been enjoying Big Boost content, even more than LZ
i like him
Alberto puts in work with his video's! Meanwhile Adam, the lazy soppy bollocks, films nothing and gets the benefits.
jay west literally I thought it was just me
Adam had it set on M for mishimoto and Alberto turned it to W for Wumbo
braxton irvinn wumbology. It's elementary
Dude, love these videos. Shows how much you can learn on cars when you just drop in and do it.
Sweet work on the Z. I'm always going to suggest you boost it. I saw a Turbo kit for them. Especially, since you have Big Boost with you!
He wants to keep it simple. I know turbo kits are relatively simple and maybe he will turbo it but he doesn't wan't it to have power gains on other stock(ish) cars as when your friend has 250bhp and yoou have 350 its kinda awkward
LOL I like it when your just working on your cars. I love seeing peoples set ups and what theyre making improvements on.
Alberto such a G for bringing that! Big Booooost
At first I thought Adam was coming out with his first mixtape 😂😂
biviano toledo he already has.. 👀

Starting off having a bit of a fit mate might wanna go see the doc
Clutch Kick Junkies adobe premiere Tourettes?
Yea
Clutch Kick Junkies I watch u m8 that’s sick Nice r33 btw fuck yeh australia
Lol
Just FYI, the Z’s are known for killing non OEM sensors, the cam sensors especially. They typically only last a few months or so. I’ve had the same problems on mine.
I just realized it all makes sense, LZ, 350Z. Adam needs cars with Z's in their model name
FredWasHere what about the bmw and the s13
justin zheng it was actually a comment on how he was making the joke of just getting all 350Zs
FredWasHere ...all he's missing now is a JZ 😂😂😂😂
Now just hope that he wont build an ls z240/350
FredWasHere LZ is his last name. I may have it off a bit but it's something like (Lizotte-Zeisler) I probably have spelling wrong but either way LZ is initials
Get a soft bristle brush and clean that radiator up a bit befor things get caked up in between the fins and. It doesn't work as well. Make sure to go with the grain of the fins
Got a piece of your merch and some stickers! Love ur content and the team and cars of course! Awesome stuff!
Once you do those sensors don't be surprised if it throws off the throttle body. I had to take mine to the dealership for a re learn.
You may be able to carefully heat the door panel in the area of contact then close the door to let it form to the shape of your roll cage
Intro 😂😂😂
Timmi.DhTrip xD
Timmi.DhTrip he did that on purpose cuz sometimes he does something wrong while editing and then the same part plays twice
Timmi.DhTrip I wonder how you got more likes than me...
Love how the vq35 has the exact same 30 year old intake manifold and fuel rails as the vg30
Can’t get over how nice the Z looks 😍
Street faction makes door panels for the s13 and s14. Also A different company makes carbon fiber door cards for the s13 and s14 and which you could cut to fit a roll cage and just add a piece of carbon fiber again inside the cut door :)
Knock sensors have a tendency of going out a lot on those cars. I would recommend relocating the sensor to avoid pulling everything off every time
I want Alberto as a buddy he seems like a great friend and genuinely nice :D
scottyL842 listening to Avril Lavigne radio 😂🤣😂
Both these cars are great looking wish I had one keep up with the good work
Love the sr20... But if/when it blows up before 1 or 2jz look inti the qr25de they make reliable hp and are 4cyl. Love the channel bro
Did you put 91 in it? Mine threw that code when I put 87 in it by accident.
What happened to Nicole ? Just haven’t seen her lately ??
she teaches among other things
She's IN CT i think
Thanks guys just was wondering 🤙🏼
They got a divorce.
She left him for adam22.
S15 update?
The blind Side gaming i agree with you
STOP ASKING
the update is there is no update, hes mentioned it before, they arent working on his s15 they're working on the formula drift cars for the season
He's getting a good deal on it. It's not priority at enjuku
Enjuku putting it aside they have several FD cars they're madly trying to finish before FD season kicks off
Take a heat gun to the door card where it hits the cage. Put some extra thickness around the cage (whether its a couple socks or rubber matt etc for extra clearance) Get it hot. Almost too hot but just under than point. And then shut the door tight. That should mold around your cage pretty well where it no longer rubs and prevents it from shutting easily.
I will try this!
Also, Hit me up if you want me to repair the gaskets for the valve covers. If they are still squishy they can be resealed to continue to work.
Thanks so much for all your videos, always looking forward to watch them. What camera and what editing program do you use? Thanks
Hey adam. When are you going to the Nürburgring, and is it possible to ship BC coils (your setup) to Belgium ? Thanks !
Try heating up the plastic and when warm enough to bend slam your door against the frame it will shape the door panel.
Heard before to mount that knock sensor in an easier spot to change out.
i find it funny that adam is barely scratching the surface of rc drifting lol he already owns a rwd d4 but prefers the awd traxxis. really all he needs is someone with a good tune for the d4 and just follow that exactly and it will run really good.

I hope the Nicole’s car is OK my fingers are crossed and praying for you guys🤞🙏🏽😊
it's usually the knock sensor wire that is the issue the sensor itself is usually fine but better to replace the sensor while changing the wire...
if its a random mutltiple cylinder missfire, most of the time its either the knock sensor or coil packs, so if you get this issue again i would go straight to replacing all 6 coil packs, happened to me with my z and ive seen it on multiple vq35de equiped vehicles as i am a certified Infiniti mechanic
If it is a thermostat oil cooler did you bleed it properly would hate to see the engine oil starve!
Would a chiller work to keep your engine cool?
What gear are you in when you feel the hesitation? (and what speed?)
you need to change the knocksensor kabels as well. that's what fucks up most times, happend to mine.
@Adam LZ you should make more guitar videos
You should pick up the OBX Individual Throttle Body for your Z would be a cool mod!
You should get an intercooler since you have a turbo setup and you beat the crap out of it.
When are the steering wheels going to be available to buy again?
I made the mistake of not replacing my intake gasket when I did my knock sensors. Had to break it down all over again lol
Is that overfenders I see in the garage 🤔
Hey Adam on the give away 350z you should really consider installing a catch can on it. The engine tends to suck in oil through the pvc systems and from how gummed up the intake looks in the video the car needs one.
*Rip Nicole’s head gasket :(*
Fck up
Hopefully you replaced the wiring harness to the sensor. a good 90% of the time its the wiring and not the sensor that fails. The wires get brittle over time from all the heat cycles and degrade. Just did the same on my 4runner.
What up Adam !! You’ve attracted me towards 350’a but I live in San Diego and there aren’t any tracks really close to me so drifting would be a meh for me. I still want a 240 to make into a show car because honestly, showing up to a meet in a 350 isn’t as fun as showing up in a 240. I still hope to win the cream z though!! Keep it up Adam!

Whats with the quarter panel at the back 3:28, are going wide body on the s13?
@Adam LZ, are you going to the OSW drift event on the 25th this month? it would be really cool to meet you and the whole crew. I'm traveling in all the way from Colorado Springs, Colorado and i was really bummed that i couldn't make the car meet in Denver. Just wanted to know if i would get to see you and the crew, it would really make my trip. Thanks XD
I work at Oreilly’s and I love always seeing how you always have the commercial receipts. Makes me wonder if you have your own account!?
Chris Forsbergs original 350z comp car was sr20 powered
You should do something different and put ITB's on the Z. It sounds amazing!
I get that u can have more oil but, what do u do with the standard oil filter spot?
the cr kais would look dope on the cream 240
I honestly had no idea you loved drifting😂😂😂 love the vids man
Which song by david cutter was that exactly? Thanks for the dope beats and being awesome everyday man!
Glad they are both getting fixed for more drift videos mate👌🏻👌🏻
I have an oil filter relocation kit for the same reason and its leaking everywhere.
whats up with the enjuku drift car? :) progress?
What’s going on with your 2jz build Adam?
as much as i love the 240... will it be ur main car for yeaarrrsss to come? or will u upgrade every now and then
dude he has like 9 different cars, hes got an s15 waiting to be full built, a 350z hes working on right now, a bmw for roads, i think its safe to say hes getting something new every now and then, but hes said his philosophy on cars is that he doesnt like to get 1 really expensive car but more cheap cars
135792183 yeah i know i understand but... the 240 is like his main car and i was wondering if he would give it away to move up the chain. just curious
as i stated his philosophy on cars is that he doesnt buy expensive cars, his 240 is already VERY expensive with the amount of work hes put into it, he would probably NEVER sell it, but still buy other cars like hes doing, so if ur question is will he get something better than a 240 heres my question, whats better than his 240? like honestly what could he go buy and drift that would appease you if a 240/350z/bmw/cresta wont?
135792183 true...
Hey adam do the knock sensor wiring harness that runs behind the block and down toward the passenger side cat.
Z1 sells the harness
Song @ 8:36 ???? Ive been looking through cutters music forever ! WHAT IS THE TITLE? I need it in my life please !
I have a similar problem on my gs300 and I read that if the knock sensor goes and I'm not using premium it'll ruin my motor and my dad doesn't let me use premium
Does Adam LZ Still Ride his Backyard Skate Park?
Is a fouled/worn plug or tired coil tbh
That filter location is convenient till a tire or cone is ran over.
Can you please explain your steering wheel set up. I have your grip royal wheel and it lines up crooked with the nrg hubs and quick release
You should Reupholster your door panels get rid of the gray cloth and put a red to match your seats
What standalone you are going to use on the SR?
I have one question how much you spend on 240sx?
I really was looking forward to an instructional video on the location of the cam sensors 😕
You need to put a plenum spacer on this thing. More air is more power.
Why do you use a Toyota OEM oil filter on the SR? Just preference?
They’re dope
also just do the 240sx wisefab front end to get rid of all your rack problems
i bet u it is a coilpack. when the knock sensor is shot, normally will just put the car in limp mode
"Dont Let us Down JZ" I felt Like I should give you energy like the spirit bomb
Try and keep oil cooler line length & fittings to a minimum. In testing 90 degree fittings lose on average 8-10 psi of oil pressure
Btw having the oil filter relocation still on the block but in a different location is super neat! havent seen it done before
I feel like that oil filter setup should have some sort of easily removeable undertray to protect it from debris in the event of going off track I could see it potentially getting smashed up by rocks or something
Dylan Mounsey oil pan would get smashed before the filter would
blake m not necessarily; think about the difference in material thickness for both.. oil pans are much thicker and stronger. Oil filters are thin like a pop can.. you can stab one with a screwdriver easily but you'd never put a screwdriver through an oilman, even if you were Bruce banner

blake m it's literally right there. I do grip racing so trust me my comment is very justified.
Adam reminds me of this girl I used to talk to in highschool when she was in her emo phase. The constant "grrrrr"s when he's frustrated just triggers that memory in my head lol
Every night i wait till 2 30 am to watch his vids. Love from Pakistan
i loved when adam was looking at the radiator braket and he said it was rad
What about the s15 Silvia Adam
did you put a toyota engine oil filter on your nissan?
Why not just run aluminum door cards? Still maintains a good look if you don't want to see the bare door
Whats going on with your silvia at enjuku?
What was the impact gun you where using?
why u no mount the filter vertically instead of horizontally!!!!
Wait so the knock sensor is down.... where?
Can we get a backyard ramp bmx seah video?
