Facts
I remember being this 12 year old kid watching Robbie put wish mods on jasmine and the BRZ and now im 16 with an almost fully rebuilt e46.
Fax, I started watching around that time too and now my car is manual swapped, engine rebuilt, and it’s on bags. But back then I was like “this wish car is cool af” and honestly those videos helped me understand that you just gotta have fun and doing those small cheap things helps you learn about the real deal and that you don’t even actually have to buy expensive things, sometimes the cheaper parts actually work really well
robbie inspired me to build my eg hatch
That's awesome!
@@thatboywiththefez yea that was the biggest thing he taught me it’s possible
It was that long ago already 😮
always gotta respect ppl who work on their zs by themselves because the way nissan was mounting stuff in the 90s was PAINFUL
Fucking R34 transmission top bolts... grrrrrr
You should be able to wire the clutch pedal to the neutral safety switch relay (from the auto trans) if you do that the manual Ecu should work without needing the whole harness
너도 클러치냐
"My MUFFLER juice" - what are these dad jokes😑
Let’s hope you replaced the Pilot bushing. Auto transmission bushings are way different than Manual on these z32. Should’ve also gotten the Heavy Duty Clutch Fork with Chromoly pivot ball. Just a fellow z32 owner giving you a heads up from experience 🤗 Also, WiringSpecialties have the MT harness too
Why don't you drain transmissions before pulling them ? Like every damn time you don't do it and fuck everything up
i read this comment before seeing the mess he made and when i saw it i was like holy shit he was right lmfao
You think he would have learned after the first time 😂
it's funny cause most of the kids saying "ew it's auto" have probably never even driven stick before lmfao
I don't mind it being an auto unless it doesn't want to shift and stays on the red line for 3 sec
And then there’s people like me who have never even driven an automatic. I’m not hating on automatic drivers, but I just refuse to do that to myself.
@@owngamesgamer4030 or when you are trying to accelerate and it won't downshift. Not fun when you're trying to merge onto the highway
@@elserpiente so quirky try the 8zf u wont ever go back to old manuals
I've driven both kinds of transmissions and for daily driving automatic is easier than a manual transmission. It also makes your driving more relaxed, manual transmissions have their place but automatic transmissions are perfectly usable. For context I live in Europe where more than 50% of cars on the road have a manual transmission and my car is an EV...
Shoutout to spec, for always coming in “clutch”
I put EVERYTHING on hold to watch this. FINALLY MANUAL 😄
More Z content pls!!
You should really invest in some floor dry. Its cheap,works great, and saves my shop from massive messes every day
You don't need to worry about the manual harness as long as you've got the manual ecu, Nissan ran them as 2 separate ecosystems (ecu and tcu) so if you run the manual ecu it has no idea that an auto box ever existed, the engine loom itself is the same, just unplug the auto ecu and In the engine bay there will be a plug with 2 wires that need to be shorted as its the park/neutral starter inhibit, all 90s nissans were wired pretty much the same.
good to know!
I think you’d need the harness for the clutch safety and all that jazz
@@XenoGeneric sorry yea forgot about US market and clutch switches being a requirement, it's easy enough to overcome though by simply leaving the auto loom in place, the clutch inhibit switch doesn't feed into the ecu on 90s nissans, it's part of the body loom that doesn't exist on an auto
@@Stalk3rNZ Yeah I’d just say screw it and leave it out, I’m sure robbie’s smart enough to not start it in gear or anything
The radiator doesn’t have to be looped. Once all the fluid is drained on the floor then you can keep ports fully open because the trans fluid portion is completely independent on the inside. Had my truck like that since 93
93 days ago that is
Lemme just say… LONG WHEELBASE GANG BABYYYYYY!!! More seats = more fun! Loving the Z32 content brotha!
Yupppppppp what we’ve been waiting forrr!!!😩🥵
“cross threads are better then no threads” had me dead😂😂
Gotta start doing deletes, to make it easy on yourself. I own a z32na-tt an i really love the car, because its unique.
Robbie I remember watching you back about 4 years ago and I’m super hyped to see you at driven calgary
Thas what I told myself when I ran to my truck after chap stick when I was 21, it'll werk as lube, she didn't care, 😆 ggz
How tf did you find a z32 manual trans. I'm in Sask and I've been looking for months
Exact same internals regardless if it’s a tt or na transmission. Only difference is the ID of the bell housing & the starter engagement on a TT.
Fun video...the z is my favorite of all ur cars👌🏾
Back again lol watching after work
Cross threads n red loctite is the best thread always🤷😂
I need to replace the clutch pedal on my 92 300zx na...so that is great you will be doing that. Please get some good vid of that..thank you.
On your next transmission, do yourselves a favor and leave the torque converter with the transmission. You'll thank me later.
Yesss Robbie your amazing ❤️
Does this mean future z track days. I miss my old Z’s burnout champs…. Had a 89 zx and a 04 350 convertible. Best drift cars ever made in my opinion 👍🏻
Camera quality always crisp. what camera are you using?
Yess finally
Your the only person that I know that wear white when working on a car
U need a manual brake pedal, yes its it different and makes things easier.. otherwise the clutch pedal and the big wide auto brake pedal will be way to close 2 each other.. cheap people just cut it but doesn't look good.
Just get a used 1 bolts right on and looks way better.
Good luck.
Thank you finally another 300 vid I was getting tired of drifting 😂❤️
great video bro!🔥
Never related to anything more than Chris getting some dirt in his mouth and going yummy
You should change the rear main seal before you put the clutch in.
MEGA F, for that muffler, if you loose the liquid inside it means you need to replace the muffler bearings. Very expensive stuff
did you keep that AT pilot bushing in when installing? i didn't see it removed before you threw on the clutch.
i would imagine that would keep you from getting the trans in, besides the alignment tool being misaligned
When are u going to put a catch can on it ???
Not gonna lie but the shop vibes have seemed so much cooler and relaxed with 2 people again🔥
Just crack the pan bolts loose and drain the fluid in a pan not the floor 😂😂😭
Robbies Z vs Emerson poo40??
Big no on the manual dude. Now I'm nearly 30 I'm hanging for the time I can get a new car and it'll be auto! 🤣 Mind you (4 knee reckons) in my life hahaha 🤣
Well you have fun steering might as well just go for auto driving cars and skip all skill all together
@@nzallround4723 did you miss read the part where it says I'm nearly 30? I've been driving manual since I was 16. Yah wank 🤣
@@1993Revhead I agree with you to a degree, love my 5 speed but a auto for a commuter in traffic is the way to go, only thing I disagree with is you thinking 30 is old in any way 🤣
I’m sorry but the automatic 300zx absolutely eats dick. You pretty much can’t give it any gas cause the fucker forgets to shift and you start redlining in 1st, automatics have their advantages, but automatic z32’s are just outright garbage
@@1993Revhead that age is just when you start realizing that you are built for comfort and not cool.
You should make a damn out of kitty litter, that will absorb all the fluids as they spill
Been waiting for this moment 🥵
Make Sure you change the timing belt on the car, my brother had a 1990 Nissan 300zx Just like yours and the timing belt went and took the motor with it.
Please for the love of god get a new beat for your montages. My wife wants to hit me every time I watch the videos. For my sake… please
Saw a 300gt today at work, peeked in the window and saw that it was auto then proceeded to throw up a bit in my mouth. Glad to see there’s one less jdm legend with an auto transmission
Not the fram oil filter😕
Pull the starter and spin the trans over so you can unbolt your flywheel from your torque converter, Jesus dude you said on the s10 video you learned. No messsiesss
One day you guys will remember to drain the trans and unbolt the torque converter
U should keep a couple of bags of cat litter laying around u can throw that on oil leaks or any leaks and just crush it and u can sweep it up
You need to get a transmission jack! Would be way nicer than laying on the floor
Yesssss
Robbie man. You need to invest in a few bags of speedy dry. Haha
Guys im in ontario and I got a harness for you. Hit me up and ill be happy to help you out.
Draining it should’ve been one of the first things you did lol
Nice
It’s crazy how we z brothers now my favorite TH-camr got the same car as me hopefully we meet stay committed guys 👍🙏💯👌🏽💪🏽
LETS GOOOOOO
AYEEEEEE I LOVE YOU ROBBIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Wild for wearing that white tee in the shop. Also amazed it wasn’t more trashed.
Z32 is the Japanese car that aged the best design wise. Don’t @ me
Cross threads are better then no threads 😂😂😂😂😂
just saw the post from the driven show… wish i could make it to Calgary… i heard ur taking two cars! which cars are u taking? i’m assuming ur taking the brz… oh wait.. ur getting carbon laid… soooo jenny and the ek?
You still don’t listen to me bro
Bag the tail shaft so you don’t leak everywhere lol a bag and tape you set
I’ll note it for next time mate! Good idea!
9:09 what’s with the infinity badge in the window?
The giant donut is just a centrifugal clutch that moves the car or transmission under fluid pressure once momentum and inertia increases
sooo... magic.
Nah its just magic
Works by using fluid coupling
Wy didn't you removed the transmission pan
Also look into getting a motorcycle floor Jack for dropping the trans way better than using regular floor Jack
U guys are my favorite couple 😆
Wiring specialties has the wiring harness, got mine from them
Might as well swapped the motor same time lol
MATE THAT ACCENT IS BUSSIN' SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
Wassup yall! How's the day been?
🅰️1️⃣
4:45 Cleeter? That you???
You know... To avoid the Trans fluid mess you could drop the trans pan down so all of the fluid is already out when you pull it
The z has never seen a wet road however it’s custy city , why do people lie when selling a vehicle :(
Wtf did I just read 😂
Fyi, looks like you left the Auto Transmission bushing in on the crank shaft. You needed to remove it and them put in the manual transmission pilot bushing in, then your clutch alignment tool would have worked better.
Lets goooo
"Cross threads are better than no threads"😂
Robbie, I, and I'm sure all of us absolutely LOVE videos of you working on your car, but could we possibly get videos of you DRIVING your cars? I miss seeing Jasmine, and I wanna see the new K-swap ripppin around.
I always find myself looking at the time when close out of the video happens to see if there’s any extra time left haha cross threads are better than no threads 😂 Keep up the great work guys!
Not my muffler juice 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is just making me dread doing it myself 😭😭
You could sell the muffler juice as Z bathwather lol.
I think i have some extra muffler juice if you want
perfect thanks man!
Was supposed to go pick up a 300zx today and on the way there the guy said someone else is coming to get it with a better offer after agreeing on a deal with me and date 😒
That’s the absolute worst! Maybe it wasn’t meant to be, probably just means there’s better one out there for you!
Facts ^
Why do I have a feeling that they didnt put the pilot bearing in?
Agreed, that is why the clutch was misaligned the first try.
❤️
lets fucking goooooooooooo
spec really comming in clutch huh ?
Classic 😂
You should reundercoat the car keep it from rusting maybe some herculiner or something under therr
Yea I plan to, once we have some more mods done ill scrape off the old stuff and do it again!
@@RobbieFerreira you are doing great. Stay committed 🤙
what is muffler juice
damn. Robbie started with a blue BRZ and a boatload of wish mods. Now we’re here.
Would love a q&a video about the swap, I'm manual swapping my z an have nearly a strand of an idea on what to do 😂
I'm hyped to see you at Driven Calgary!
Robbie said he’s starting an OnlyFans
Where did you hear this🤭
New drift car 🧐
Hey guys 3 questions ...so the transs is tt and needs tt clutch pedal? Or i can run the non turbo clutch pedal with tt trans? And the drive shaft is tt or non turbo stick shift ? And the ecu is tt stick shift or non turbo 5 speed? Thank you guys
