Woooooo hoooooo!!! Y’all already know I’m FIRED UP to be cranking out videos for yall!!!! Hope you enjoy, I am so dang GRATEFUL to be part of the team. 2024 is going to be INTENSE ⛺️ 🏕️ ⛺️
She's such a good kid and smart she's got a bright future in anything she does I hope she goes into the automotive field the more the women the better.
Watching the both of you dealing with both sides of the engine (all3) and staying focused and calm while the kid was in class. refreshing man refreshing.
My daughter is the same age as your niece. She helped me with the brakes on our Cadillac when she was four. Last summer I had her changing the carb on her little dirt bike.
I've worked on cars with my dad since I was old enough to walk , I am a retired Chevrolet mechanic, worked as a mechanic in the army, you're braver than me to tackle that job , wow the kid is growing up. Best of luck ❤❤
Emily. You have no idea how happy I was to hear you say Aaron and I! All in hear is me and so and so. Good grammar I never thought would be my pet peeve. But here we are. lol Love you guys!
Stickers!! Yes! Thanks for those, ordered it up 👍🏻 Those injectors will plug easily so make sure you really get that fuel system cleaned up or you’ll plug’em up again. I used to work on those and owned a new showroom 300ZX twin turbo. You’ll love the car once it’s up and running 👍🏻Enjoy!
NGK for Japanese, Bosch for German, AC for GM, Autolite for Ford,and Champion for Mopar. I've had customers bring their cars in running rough, 99% of the time it was because of the wrong plugs. I remember Fords and Mazdas being towed in not running. Change out the plugs and they ran perfectly. For a while Bosch plugs were really cheap,and people were putting them in everything. Take my word for it, always use factory plugs and emission parts for the best outcome. 😊👍
I loved that clip of the kittens. I love how the orange one patted the dark-colored one on the but as if it was saying, go, go, get up there and get that moth. lol.
When Aaron said "I'm done, put it up on marketplace " I thought Oh yah and buy a Corvette. But darn it ya beat me to it. I really enjoy watching you guys interact with The Kid helping her learn how to work on cars.
Glad you're back! My prediction is that something is wrong with the throttle body. Contamination or maybe an air leak that makes it go lean. The engine doesn't care about spark plug brand. We built a 850-hp turbo Nissan and ran Autolite plugs (same as Walmart and FoMoCo. The engine didn't care!
It's 2024. Please get some magnetic parts dishes and magnetic spark plug sockets! That flappy tray is one bump away from disaster. Also, magnetic spark plug sockets are really quite nice. So glad to see the 300ZX getting some attention!🙂
The Kid has gained useful skills! By the time she's 17 she'll be quite the wrench! Keeping a magnetic pickup tool next to the socket you're removing something with? I didn't invent that myself until last year!
I had an 86 300ZX and I don't envy any mechanical that has to work on one. Your remark "Lets get the engine out." is probably a smart move if you really get into it. As to NGK plugs.... every Nissan product I have used seems to run best when using NGK plugs. I don't know why, but they do.
Guys your issue is your injectors, you’re already right there. Pull the fuel rail and replace those oem old injectors with new ones I have a new z1 set you can have for 200 bucks, or you can go test flow and clean your stock ones. (Cheapest way) Funny I saw your first video in 2022 now I have three of them and working on them Is easy as hell, but difficult to others. Hope to keep seeing more content from you guys.
My son had 91 na and I worked on it and drove to work quite offend. I did change the plugs first thing didn’t use NKGs and it didn’t like them switched to NKGs and ran so much better. I understand that the type of injectors are an issue cause they allow gas to leak into cylinders but I didn’t get the chance to switch them out. That car is awesome to drive and way ahead of its time. So much fun. If the body wasn’t so rusty he would have kept it and it had 270k miles.
The holes the sparkplugs were down in were so clean they looked like glass when you shined the light down in them. And I can tell you that not many of them are that nice, clean, and new-looking down in there.
PS to my other comments, it goes without saying you're a beautiful young lady, but I think more important is that you are really a good person with a big heart and I love that about you ❤❤❤
Hey, Guys! You actually dont have to swap the LS, or use NGK spark plugs only)) Simply clean PTU connectors (both sides) and injector connectors. After that: check fuel pump and its whiring, check start-clutch relay and after all this thing you have to check your alternator (relay). As I can see in the video, you got all this little problems. Dont swap the engine, swap injectors connectors and PTU connectors on your Z and enjoy the ride))
You are giving me flashbacks! I was (now retired) a Nissan Master Technician with over 30 years with Nissan. The twin turbo is the worst Nissan to work on. The injectors can be replaced without pulling the plenum, It just takes a little work with a die grinder. Just hope and pray you never have to replace the turbos.
I've worked on car engines since I was a kid (and I don't want to admit how long ago that was) & this is definitely the most difficult engine to work on that I've ever seen--good luck. :)
I took a unscheduled flight out a Kenworth T880 and my left shoulder from the fall was still holding on to the door while falling to the ground. It’s been about a year. Fun stuff.
YOU CAN FIX IT! You've had time to think about it, order some parts, learn somethings and you have a whole fresh perspective on the car. You two have got thid!
I love seeing Lila's (did i get her name right) desire to jump in and learn by getting her hands dirty. Great uncle patiently teaching without doing it for her. She really seems like a great kid. Put a small block in it. Screw all that electronic stuff! It's name is ZX-POS!😅
Once you delete all that pulling the plenum will only take like 30 min to 1 hour instead of 8 hrs the first time. Def top 5 hardest cars to work on! Patenice is your friend when working on this one. Yes def ohm out the injectors early style like you have on here are notorious for going out! When you do pull the motor def go with a new efi harness you will thank me later!!! Love y’all! Bad ass video! When is 300zx t shirt coming count me in for 1 in XL!!!!!
I don't have the coping in my brain to work on something that difficult. You two done very well. The kid is doing quite well and hoping she goes into the automotive repair field.
Hi there, Adelaide OZ here once more....as far as idle and cold start goes.....the rattle is the hydraulic lifters from non use.....takes ages to fill with oil.....the fast idle and idle speed control are on the rear of the manifold.....old fashioned design now.....both clog with carbon.....electrics fail.....removal and cleaning helps.....I have done it to mine 3 times over 15 years now.....Try carb or brake clean.....white vinegar works real well, but need to soak for a couple of days.....and then be real fussy to eliminate the vinegar as its quite acidic....to better adjust idle I fitted a bypass around IACC to a previous PCV hole in the left manifold.....I used a ball valve, but on others I have used a heater tap .....you can control that with a cable as I have done on BMW's and Jaguars.....Yeah, these cars known to be time consuming and difficult to service....BUT.....so is anything new these days.....not made to work on....just throw away.....recycle.....manufacturers want short ownership so don't care......10 years of support if lucky.....By the time you are done you will look back and see patience and learning have taught you a lot......In Australia these cars were hated compared to R32 nissan RB30 straight six engines to work on.....but that has changed now....new respect...... Hang in there guys, you,ll be experts soon......give up TV...search the internet for nissan Z32 VG30DETT.....lots of knowledge there......best wishes....stefan.
EMILY!! I 100% can agree and confirm what your friend said about her car ONLY liking NGK sparkplugs. Now coming from an automotive dealership world I can tell you that cars run best (with very few exceptions) with the sparkplug their manufacturer suggests. Can't tell you how many times at Hyundai somebody brought their car in with "a #3 misfire" and the first thing we asked is if they put new sparkplugs in it. "Yes, I put some really expensive Bosch Platinums in there". Ya, that sparkplug was causing the misfire code. Point of the Story: try your absolute best to keep the "correct" sparkplug in the car. Again, this is not black and white but there are very few exceptions. AC Delco plugs ran horribly in my Ram Hemi. It only ran well with the Champions...
Love the videos with the " Kid" I didn't meet my daughter until she had two kids of her own and took a gun class from me. I do get to shoot with and teach the Grandson, its Awesome!
Tip 1 for z32tt... block off all under manifolds water hoses, egr, replace the 2 short water hose , relocate PTU from cylinder head too behind head light, as the heat soak from the engine kill the module... and upgrade it to the later version....Z1 motorsport are the gods for help
I am just catching up on your videos. Looking forward to catching up with the next couple of them. It is easy to tell this was not recorded in the last month because, man y'all have some happy robins out there in the backround!!!
Have had a couple of projects stall due to issues like you were having on the 300, you get to a point where you get a little discouraged and you have to walk away for sanity reasons. Glad to see you back on it and getting some forward progress can’t wait to see it running again
Glad that y'all are getting back to the 300 I personally love those cars they just have that look if'n y'all know what I mean. I hate to say it but I knew a lady that owned one and it was always in the shop. But I'm sure that with Aaron doing his homework y'all won't have that problem!👍 Love and hugs from Waco.😁
Late model car's are a nightmare with all the hoses and some you have to take the plenum chamber off to change spark plugs, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Good to see 2024 content. It was nice to catch up on where you started on the car first then connect it to now. Always good to see the "kid" helping out and learning that no 2 vehicles are the same..lol the murder kittens are getting big. Do you still have all of them and do they have names? The merch looks sharp!
We’ve named all but two of the kittens, they’re still pretty skittish unfortunately- cats are so different than dogs 🥴 I can hold three of them… The kid is already such a big girl!!! It’s crazy! So glad you like the merch! Wait until you feel how comfy the shirts are!! They’re a higher end tee shirt so they’re real nice! Sure appreciate you!
Woooooo hoooooo!!! Y’all already know I’m FIRED UP to be cranking out videos for yall!!!! Hope you enjoy, I am so dang GRATEFUL to be part of the team. 2024 is going to be INTENSE ⛺️ 🏕️ ⛺️

Love that y’all let the kid help and learn

In Canada we call it a 300ZedX.. lol I'm glad to see you guys back working on it!
Emily. You have no idea how happy I was to hear you say Aaron and I! All in hear is me and so and so. Good grammar I never thought would be my pet peeve. But here we are. lol Love you guys!
Whar a lovely young lady , Lila is. Congrats to her family for bringing up a confident young lady. She is a joy.
Awesome seeing the Kid grow up on your channel. Love Love this!!!

As for merch, I would love to see a flying Sparks garage shirt with Finley on it and the garage logo. Thanks y'all watch every show Love you.
I loved that clip of the kittens. I love how the orange one patted the dark-colored one on the but as if it was saying, go, go, get up there and get that moth. lol.
Yes, I loved that too, Thanks for mentioning that. So cute.
@@timglass6041left that in there for y’all!!!! Murder Kitten update!!!
ABOUT FLIPPING TIME !!!!!!!!!
Let’s go ❤❤❤❤
Heart and soul I miss working with my daughter on anything!
Love the 300. Ahhh Grip Mat? That is cool. Never seen that, but always need one. Oh my lord
When Aaron said "I'm done, put it up on marketplace " I thought Oh yah and buy a Corvette. But darn it ya beat me to it. I really enjoy watching you guys interact with The Kid helping her learn how to work on cars.
Glad you're back! My prediction is that something is wrong with the throttle body. Contamination or maybe an air leak that makes it go lean. The engine doesn't care about spark plug brand. We built a 850-hp turbo Nissan and ran Autolite plugs (same as Walmart and FoMoCo. The engine didn't care!
That was perfect man, you should get her more
It's 2024. Please get some magnetic parts dishes and magnetic spark plug sockets!
That flappy tray is one bump away from disaster. Also, magnetic spark plug sockets are really quite nice.
So glad to see the 300ZX getting some attention!🙂
Love the 300zx styling
WOW! What a nightmare that car is to work on! Kudos to you guys for not giving up and sticking with it.
Its a fun nightmare.
No "WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THE SHOP!" merch push? That Garfield shirt is cool.
Keep up the awesome videos y'all.
YES WE CAN
Cool car.
It will only go up in value
All the best
The Kid has gained useful skills! By the time she's 17 she'll be quite the wrench!
Keeping a magnetic pickup tool next to the socket you're removing something with? I didn't invent that myself until last year!
Glad to hear you guys are doing well!!!!!
I was just wonderin where y'all been. Good to see some content from you guys!
I had an 86 300ZX and I don't envy any mechanical that has to work on one. Your remark "Lets get the engine out." is probably a smart move if you really get into it. As to NGK plugs.... every Nissan product I have used seems to run best when using NGK plugs. I don't know why, but they do.
That car got a lot of stuff under the hood I sure you'll make it pure.The GTO shirt is cool can't wait to hear it run
I like watching you 2 work together - fun times. Good luck with the 300 - Stay safe.
Sharing knowledge with the young ones , good job
I hit like button at 1.7 something. I do remember seeing a monaro with a GTO front end around western Sydney ❤
Glad to see you back, so happy you all are doing good, really missed your videos, love you all, keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤
Every Flying Sparks Garage video is great.
Said this before Awesome you have the kid to inspire her age. It’s something you can do is awesome message.
Checkout the Skid Factory build here in Australia. They're putting an RB26/30 twin turbo in Als 300.
Start with fresh fuel , Check coils , PTU , EGR , Clean and retension all engine plugs? connectors (they will all be green and corroded ....
Guys your issue is your injectors, you’re already right there.

The VG30, or V6-3000 as the cover says is a Great engine and Held the speed record in a AIRPLANE for quite a while., yeah a PLANE!

Hard work picking up a project stalled for a year and a half. Nice job.

Solid FSG, Good to see you back, kiwi likes 👌
Hey it’s Louis, happy new year guys. Awesome job as usual what more can I say.. God bless to you both.
Great to see you back! Looking forward to an amazing 2024!
the "need" to hear the lead to "click" on the plug is the mechanic in you. we have the same need.
The kid is learning her way around the engine bay, by the time she is old enough to drive she'll be able to rip them apart and build them back better
Thanks For The Great Update!
You mentioned that you will drain the gas out of the Z, but what do you do with the old gas!
Aaron! You are so calm quiet and a nerd! I love it! Great with your girls. Keep going Bro.

Waiting for Nova shirts! Our family went through a series of '63 Novas in the 70s-80s.
Not LS, but a twin turbo RB30 would be interesting
cool set of wheels there
Glad that y'all are getting back to the 300 I personally love those cars they just have that look if'n y'all know what I mean.

Happy New Year! 2024 is yours! 🎉💖☀️🔧
