I love this because we see you buying, rebuilding, and restoring the cars. but this is a first for me seeing the customer interaction with tom. and I love it.
I’m feeling this. I guess “Hert-spec” is like go totally overkill but should have known that by now! I like that lol - not the typical build for Tommy but looking forward to seeing it come together.
The fact that we haven’t seen a big props to the backbone of this movement is troubling honestly. I’m not saying he isn’t happy or compensated well but at least let the fans know how you feel about him. Doesn’t need to cost you a GTR LOL
@@mrwhite7222 Lol how do you know he doesn't get props? Just because you don't see it it doesn't mean he is. Someone as famous and skilled as him wouldn't stay here if shit wasn't good for him.
You know I'm going to be straight up when Josh came on board I was a bit hesistant just because of his vibe but as time goes on you can truly tell he is a craftsman and knows his shit. Props to Josh because I'm sure he doesn't get it enough! You're killing it!
There was a show called JDM legends I used to watch a long time ago and josh built cars on there then one day I see him in Tommy’s video, not sure what happened with the show but I’m stoked he’s working for Tommy seems like a great guy to have around
I've always liked Hert. Hes a big humble teddy who can twerk any car. (Sure they mostly break) But, i know once the GTR is finished, its going to be a shredder. One that he can really drive around and not constantly worry about how nice it is and baby it. Thats a skyline to be driven.. Hard. Glad to see Hert owns it. Better than seeing her get parted out.
Big props to Tommy for such a quick rise to good guy came I remember when he first started there wasn't many youtubers he liked now he's friends with all of them even chach tj an he's the man he's got everyone wanting to come to him for his shop to touch there cars keep killin shit Tommy it's so legit to watch also can you sock ruddy for low key talking shit to you in his videos
Hert is a good dude. I know Tommy wants the GTR restoration business. He could cover so many more restorations as far as cars go. I still believe older cars refurbished are a better value than the over priced cars of today. Look at what Toyota is trying to do with their key fob situations.
I think Rob Dahm has a metal analyser gun/tool if you could get a small piece of Hert's block to him or get the tool to the whole block then you could easily find out what the block is made of . It would make for a great video in itself tbh :)
5:25. Great way to check ring seal with the head off is to pour about an inch of ATF on top of every piston before leaving for the day and see if it’s still there the next morning.
@@slubropo yes, rotate the crank so all pistons are down in the cylinder, and fill the cylinders with ATF on top of the pistons… what was so funny about that
I remember when one of the lads bought a black 32gtr at Liverpool import auctions for 3 grand out the door, good 10 years ago mind, wished id got myself one now. Tommy keep banging the vids out and them GTR'S
I remember when you could get them for 5k or 10k for a minter. R33's even less because they look like mondeos. My mate actually swapped an astra GSI for an r33 GTR .We didn't realise how good we had it in England back in the day. I just wish I had had the nouse back then to just buy a few !
I love this type of video. Basically it's behind the scenes stuff and it's great that you are this transparent and it speaks volumes of you and your company.
Im a mechanics and i mark every bolt I took out and pit back. I use yellow or white paint marker. So when somebody comes back and try to do warranty stuff I can see if they touched it or not!
Getting a good rb block is straight down to luck! Prp have tested 100’s of blocks and have the data to back it up. They have even tested brand new n1 24u block out of the box that was deemed unusable for big power! All comes down to luck unless it’s been tested first! They even tested a rrr block and it wasn’t any better than a 05u block! So not worth the extra money
Was waiting for someone to mention this.. 05U and N1 can be identical so really spending 8k on a n1 block is pointless ..3.5k aud new for a 05U or go straight to billet
Also, I'm so stoked you guys get to work with a real car Celebrity like that. It just goes to show how far you can get just by putting in that level of passion and hard work. In one way im sad that that other channel kinda went away, but it had to go like that so you could rise up. Love to see what you guys have done in these last few years. Its been one hell of a ride.
I’m so jealous of that HKS RB26 engine. Was checking those out the other day and are going for $40,000 for R34, and $36,500 for R32/R33. So if you don’t already own a shell or chassis of a GTR you’re paying a premium just for a imported car that may or may not be thrashed. Assuming it’s not thrashed, then expect to spend as much or more on parts as what you paid for the whole car. Tommy out here doing Gods work, and best of all he actually gives a shit about the culture and takes pride in his work….and even better he takes pride in keeping these classic pieces of art using period correct parts instead of ruining them with riced out parts. I feel like the Silvia/240sx/180sx s13/14/15 s-chassis , as well as r32/33/34 Godzilla are like the equivalent of my generations classic timeless cars that would equate to my parents generation models kept for restoring later like 65-69 Novas/Chevelle SS/mustangs/corvettes/Camaros/etc I’m only 33 but remember my dream car in 9th grade was an S13 Silvia coupe, or even just an s13 240sx coupe with Silvia front bumper/headlights instead of pop-up headlights and with all the neat things like the heads up display speedometer on the dashboard that shines on the windshield. Don’t think I would have ever been able to afford getting one these days had I not left school everyday at 11am my senior year in high school to work to save up enough $ instead of just taking extra that I didn’t need to graduate and wasting an extra 5 hours everyday just to dick around in 2 back to back study hall classes when I could be the weed delivery guy and make more money my entire HS senior year to pay for myself to get a CS degree in college and my car…an older lady in her early 70s that had an immaculate inside and out 240sx coupe, garage kept and was the first and only owner…and somehow this woman was rocking a KA with HKS GT-RS turbo on this $5900 gift from the gods
I mean, this seems like the right spot for him. A beater example that he can stuff crazy power into and if it gets fucked up? Well….Eazy E said it best. “I’ll throw it in the ditch, and go buy another!”
The early 89 o5u blocks are stronger than the n1 blocks. Thicker cylinder walls stronger deck higher nickel content if i remember correctly. I think its just the first half of production blocks though to meet the 500 production cars for racing.
Love your content Tommy. I own an R32 GTR in Ireland and if it was possible I'd want to send it to you guys to be built, unfortunately that's just not financially possible! Your builds are a strong inspiration though and looking forward to seeing how Herts and Rudniks cars turn out.
Even though you just wana get it going, After seeing the goodies like the turbos and the Haltech 2500 big boy ecu !!! The bottom end while it’s out sitting there may aswell build it !! 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ if the funds are there :) either way will come out sick 👌🏼
hurt > cali isnt all like wet me > in cali, looks out window, is currently raining....oh...okay... we even got a tiny bit of snow over night LOL. all jokes aside love seeing the vids keep it up man
I've heard pretty much if the head is out, replace the valve seals. Guess I know why now! I remember hearing the same about the early 05U's, something like the first 500 engines. What's the serial on the block?
I know black is your favorite color but think the blocks would look better painted in that [Cast Iron] color engine enamel. LZ had one painted that color and it looked fire.
Haltech is a great user friendly Aussie made product good to see you guys using it. I would just delete the Hocas on the rear give it e bushing and the once the fronts done be a good beater but still a nice GTR without blowing the budget.
Not all cars need to be show quality, myself I'd rather have have an imperfect car that can be driven hard and enjoyed while still looking like someone still has love for it, not stressing over tiny issues.
I love this because we see you buying, rebuilding, and restoring the cars. but this is a first for me seeing the customer interaction with tom. and I love it.

So what's the best option for an oil pump on a pre-93 GTR? Collar on the crank or source a good long nose one?
"Beater GTR" wild, just wild.
Real Street just tore down Baltic Supra 2j and it had loose oil pump cover bolts. The bearings still looked mint.
