Agreed, on the rare occasions when Chris actually listens to Tommy, it’s a wise move. When he goes against Tommy’s advice, like in this case, it looks like shit
@@joaco2530 it was a joke. He used the shaken not stirred comment and changed it to broken not burnt. People got real upset which is so silly. People need to learn how to take a joke these days.
@@portablezaps6517 they're shitty plastic caps with crappy plastic tabs. They commonly break and fall off. I'd get some billet aluminum reproductions personally (as tommy mentioned)
It disappointed me seeing ruddy lower the gtr so much but I mean his name is literally “ricer Miata” so I guess we can’t get too mad when he rices out his 32
Dude the progress you've made with your GTR is unreal. Coming from how it was in Florida with that nasty body kit and Scumberto touching it with his greasy hands, to now. Amazing. Looks killer. Props to Tomcat and Josh
Nothing wrong with Roberto touching it lol. He works on them daily. Tommy just hates him and is wrong saying a coil pack can't ruin an engine. It's called detonation and it destroys engines all the time.
In my experience, how much a coil "settles" is dependant on how much grip there is on the shop floor. Wheel comes down at a goofy angle and grips and you'll need to roll it a couple car lengths to let the tires camber. *Edit: double wishbone will affect this differently than MacPherson
Don't make it so low, it's a GT-R not a ricer. Listen to @tommyfyeah about the height, he knows what does and doesn't look good when it comes to GT-Rs (and most other Japanese cars) not to mention the performance of the suspension. You've done such a good job so far with having it built right, don't ruin the look now 👍
Chris I would spend the money to get the 32 right. Take advantage of who your neighbor is. These cars are gonna do nothing but go up in value. You really can get hurt on this build
*DAYS WITHOUT INJURING LITTLE BILL: 19* *DAYS WITHOUT CHRIS EATING BREAD: 5* Hilarious hearing Kyle mentioned here. My interests constantly collide. RSK
Tommy was right about the suspension settling any time you lift a vehicle the suspension sags and gives your car more positive camber and makes your ride hight just a little higher
Rudnik is on to something with soaking those rods. BMW engineers used to start with used 4 cylinder blocks then leave them outside and even go pee on them before building 1,500 hp F1 engines with them.
Best way to set ride height is to measure from the center of the hub to the highest point of the fender or quarter panel and adjust according to that not just measure the distance of the coil. It helps doing it this way. Also the car will settle! Especially if the parking brake is on when letting the car down
Looks amazing. I used to really not like Tommy but he's grown on me the past few weeks even watch his videos now 😂 took me years to understand the way he is 😅
I can attest to the car getting much lower when you take the e-brake off after adjusting height. Every single one of my cars has done that whether it was on springs or coilovers
If you've ever ridden a motorcycle it begins to make sense. With the e-brake on in a car, you've essentially pre-loaded the front suspension. So say you've come to a stop on a bike with both brakes, and if you ride a bike correctly, you keep your right foot on the rear brake as you come to a stop, and put your left foot down so you can hold in the clutch, keep it in gear, while still having your brake light on (by still holding the rear brake with your right foot), and are ready to throttle out of a bad situation coming up behind/front/to the side of you. While coming to a stop like this, if you never let go of the front brake, then let go after you're at a complete stop, the entire front end of the bike will lift up and the rear will lower. There's very little difference with cars.
Just do the smart thing for your window mounding most windscreen fitters will have a universal mold that goes around front or rear screens looks pretty much oem and would only cost like max 100 bucks
I bought brand new OEM trim for mine that wasn't nearly as much as tommy was talking about, $120 each front and back, interior panels 80 each. the prices he was saying are absurd lol
Love the gtr bro 😎. Ruddie listen to Tommy on the gtr if you don’t listen to anything else. Do not ruin this car it’s way too nice and only going up in value. Listen to Tommy this is the only time you’ll ever hear me say this 😂
coilover dont settle "much" depends on springs maybe in 2weeks only a 0,0xxmm, I think most springs, under normal driving conditions, will settle within 2 weeks. then you need to recheck it...
Chris you’ve been treating Sam like a scum bag lately. What did he do to you lol. He tore up that shitty old tire and I didn’t think you’d ever stop ripping on him
It doesn't matter how high u ride those rims the GTR is still going to look sweet as hell Chris! And with Daddy Tom, Will and Sam in the vlogs everyday the shop seems so fun anyways keep putting in work and get those cars ready you chotch! And btw when are you going to start working on the Hako/Sunny?
ok river miata i love always known of you but never watched your videos until now and i am in love you and tommy together are an absolutely riot, sam too even tho he won’t be there forever
keeep doing your thing mr rodknock. have really enjoyed daily videos since i discovered you. shout out Denver Beer and Oil for putting me onto your channel. cant go wrong with old bmws
Tommy was right about the fitment. You want to be able to drive it without ruining all of the work he put in.
Hard pass on that fitment. Tommy is right with this one.
Was near perfect until he lowered it again when Tommy left lol
For real. Keep the thing as it is from the start of the video. Looks so good. Don't want to ruin the bottom of the car. It's perfect to rage on back roads.
Agreed.
Definitely he doesn't need to go hella low on every car. The fitment tommy was going for would be way better

I thought it was funny af
I think it looked perfect before you lowered the rear tbh. Function > Form.
Things not even low. Lol
Agree with tommy on the fitment
Not having center caps really takes away from the coolness of those wheels. I think it's worse than the missing side skirt piece.
I think missing the side skirt is worse 😳
What do the caps say on them ? Nismo
Both

looked so much better with the rears a little higher l

Needs a respray in areas first

nah the rear does look too low honestly
Rudnik + Tommy = hilarity. I could watch these two chop it up all day!
Raise it!!! Tommy is right on with the fitment. Going that low wrecks the suspension geometry too.
Chris I would spend the money to get the 32 right. Take advantage of who your neighbor is. These cars are gonna do nothing but go up in value. You really can get hurt on this build
The bro chemistry in this vlog is so good! More collaborative content please. Maybe a group podcast .

The whole FPS Russia story is crazy, he's been a host on the PKA podcast for the last 8+ years, I listen to it every day
Ayyye lol I love his rants on wings
So glad papa Tom got a hold of the GTR
DONT LOWER IT SO MUCH, LEAVE IT LIKE BEFORE
Whatever you do don't let the Aussie touch the Skyline please 🙏
As long as you like them Chris. Its your channel. That was a long wait for those wheels.
chris throwing fire about the jack thing and then following up with talking shit about noriyaro's car being on fire made my day holy shit xD
7:20 chipotle charges for the extra tortillas now, and also you were spot on about "no cap" lmao

Tbh the skyline needs the guards rolled and then lowered another 2” front and rear. Still looks like a roller skate
FIRE CONTENT!!!! Keep up the great work Chris
You should get a torpedo heater they work great in your situation
Ungion had me rolling 🤣
Tommy fitment for sure, and get center caps.
Meaty tires look so aids when lowered like that. Agree with Tom, one inch was enough
Dood the LMGT2's are dope and they fit the skyline real nice
Just buy a torpedo heater they work great
No go on the fitment. It was good at first before you slammed it.
The GTR is looking straight GAS!

Ruddy should do a mullet before he docks it all off. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Maybe get the oil cap on your gtr anodized gold to match the zinc
Theses cars don’t need completely slammed dude. Tommy’s right raise it up so Suspension has room to fully travel.
Yoooo no cap! Wendy’s is way better the Macdonald’s when it comes to the burgers!
I got some front and rear mud flaps needs to be paint matched :)
*makes fun for no jack stands under the car*
*also is the person to lean on the jack with someone underneath*
I'm offended you guys hating on wendies lol. Probably my favorite fast food.
Last time I was this Early Tommy had Hair
Chris tell us what your nutritionist said about the bird diet
Ruddy buy one of those kerosene heaters like sam has in japan and the only cost is the fuel to run it. Safe travels down here to Florida!
Buy a log burner for the shop with a chimney that can exhaust outside. Firewood is cheap
Much agreed, it looks great at that height.
ok river miata i love always known of you but never watched your videos until now and i am in love you and tommy together are an absolutely riot, sam too even tho he won’t be there forever
