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.
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
@@Chumchum000 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)
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
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
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.
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 👍
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.

It doesn't matter how high u ride those rims the GTR is still going to look sweet as hell Chris!

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
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...
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
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
What are you trying to do with the gtr.. like a Sunday vehicle to cruise to cars and coffee ? Then the fitment would probably work.. looking to get down on the streets, digs, track stuff I would roll with tommy on this one. Rolling fenders on that caliber of a car IMO is a mistake and do nothing but depreciate it.
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 😂
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
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
Dude that car is beautiful. Don’t mess it up going all low ass stance boi. If you come close to hitting the fenders it’s too low. Wheels are sick tho.

looked so much better with the rears a little higher l

Raise it!!! Tommy is right on with the fitment. Going that low wrecks the suspension geometry too.

God I hope you’re kidding…
Slam it on tarmacs and daily it
The bro chemistry in this vlog is so good! More collaborative content please. Maybe a group podcast .

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

So glad papa Tom got a hold of the GTR
lmgt2 is supposed to be "racing" looks with meaty tires but chris keep lower and lowering again until he find oil.
The back looks clearly too low... Buy an Impala and put it on switches if that's what you want 🤣

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!
Perfect fitment on that car in the beginning of the video

Buy a log burner for the shop with a chimney that can exhaust outside. Firewood is cheap
Meaty tires look so aids when lowered like that. Agree with Tom, one inch was enough
*makes fun for no jack stands under the car*
*also is the person to lean on the jack with someone underneath*
You can't find some used couplers till the new ones come in????? Have Sam look at upgarage routinely when he gets back to Japan
