FFS!!! i genuinely feel heart broken for ya, you have the worst luck! but you always find a way to get everything back on track! Love everything you do in drifting man! Cant wait to see either of the beasts back in action
Thanks heaps mate. I'll have a heap of awesome videos about the sonvia coming very soon. Maybe even tonight. Need to get that positivity flowing hey. Cheers again mate
DS man thats a terrible feeling. We as competitors with a goal, we see it all too often. Doesn't make it any easier though. But we're gonna support you as best we can. 3 years from now you're gonna look back and say "hey remember when..." and shake your head about it. Keep at it Jake, keep Dreaming big
Man I feel for you bro. Hope all works out for the best ay. After this vid someone big should sponsor you for all the hard work you put into your craft.
I'm sure things will come together for you brother. You have a ton of people who are in your corner rooting for you. I'm sure your get the extra support you need right in time. Just keep doing what you do and stay positive. Like they say it's always darker before it's Dawn. You have came a long way, with ups and downs and always seem to land on your feet and in a better spot then before..
That killed me seeing how speechless you were about it man, as bad as it is hopefully it doesnt get you down too much as there is always a light at the end of the tunnel! Much love man
You'll be right mate, bet your old girl never raised you to be no quitter 😂, but seriously mate consider it more trial and error towards building the ultimate racecar. Your learning what parts work best for your personal setup.
You are dead right mate haha. I always treat everything as a learning experience, its just a hard pill to swallow when it takes weeks/months of work to save up and do the next lesson haha.
I hear you man, if it was easy everyone would be doing it. It takes a heap of determination to accomplish things that you have and you have shit loads of that mate. Hope the fund raising period flys by for you quick or better yet you find some mad sponsor who builds you another rb if needed haha you got the skills to be a legendary drifter brother!!
Hang on dude! Take a breath, double check everything and let the time to help you realising how to fix whole this back to rock even more harder on your RBeamer. Cheers from Ukraine.
😭😭😭. I felt your pain when we were chatting at drift masters mate. hope that it ends up not having any more damage to the bottom end for you. giving you an interwebs big dirty teddy bear hug to cheer you up hahahaha.
DriftSquid with that much destruction to the input shaft it begs the question if the box it square and the shaft on centre. In any case it may be cheaper to get a new input shaft and oversized carrier bearing. If the engine is ok that is!
those manic clutches hold the power but I have heard of way to many of the breaking stuff or flying apartike that. bugger man, I'm sure the crank will be fine, slap a new bearing in there and she be mint
@@DriftSquidlooks like you are already running the gm spline in it so it's not like you can upgrade that. good luck with the new clutch I hope it hold up for ya. if you were after gm to rb spigot bearing use a 6902 on the gforce setups I do not sure if it will work with the hgt input length tho 👍
@@mckenziemotorsport985 correct I am using GM spline and the clutch isnt the issue. The input shaft broke due to bearings failing in the gearbox. Which destroyed the clutch and back of the crank. That bearing doesn't work with Nissan input shaft standard diameter. 16mm I've tried hey
@@DriftSquid oh no shit that's a major! Richard is usually pretty reasonable, I'd like to think he would come to the party, loving the vids any way mate keep it up 👌
Wow that sucks mate! It’s strange today I heard a story of another car with the same gearbox having the exact same issues. Was the box hard to bolt up?
Yeah these things happen I guess. I will explain more in the coming videos. But for now let's focus on the fun of drifting and get some sonvia videos out.
Also interesting that the gearbox manufacturer put a post up saying there has never been a part broken on their gearbox's. Out of all the box's sold. Non broken. ...
Thanks Tommy, appreciate that a lot hey. There will be plenty of ups but I also want to share my downs with you all. I dont think its fair to only show the ups in life.
+Turtleism hey mate I dont have one. I just have merchandise for sale. That way I feel like you guys are getting something back you know. Appreciate it heaps though mate.
Well then some merch will have to do! You are doing your best out there man and I know things have a way of going wrong at the worst time, but as hopeless car guys even if we crack the shits we always end up going back for more. Fingers crossed the spigot bush is what took most of the damage and not the crank.
@@Turtleism thank you mate it means more then you could imagine. Unfortunately the spigot was completely gone and the crank has some bad damage but I will explain all soon enough. Appreciate the support so much mate. Thank you
man that sucks I'd be spewin too :( hopefully the crank was the only thing damaged , still gonna be a pain in the bum to repair , good luck with it :D isn't that like a 7k gearbox designed for this kind of abuse/power levels? I'd be sending them the bill for the repairs for selling you a sub par product.
still I'd be sending them the bill, for 17k it should be able to handle anything you throw at it lol geeze you can get a 2000hp rated powerglide for around 10. lol
@@5lcalais1 I will show you guys everything that I have to do to fix it. I know this sucks for me but I just want to share with you all what happens with drift cars like this. Hope you can understand what we all go through a little more.
Haha sure would be, but I wouldn’t do it for that, I would do it to help you out, I can crack test all components for you each time you strip it to make sure everything is still tip top, X-ray Conrods and do ultrasound on crank shaft to see if there are any nasty surprises, you have to come up ASAP to see our new house dude
Yeah that would be wild mate. I am finally back in SA now but not for long mate. Ill hit ya up this week as I am playing catch up. Once ive got things sorted ill try catch up this weekend or even next if im still around. Hope you been well man

:( damn dude that devastating, just when you were getting a run at it. Fingers crossed nothing else has been damaged due to this
All will be revealed soon enough hey. Just staying positive for now
Keep your head up!!
Thanks mate will do
Hey can I ask ya how did you mount the engine ? Did you swap out the subframe ?
+Abdulla Alblooshi made our own custom mounts. To the chassis rails. Not the subframe
@@DriftSquid ahh I see, you guys really went for it.. no expense seems to have been left out.
@@DiasMurik I did what ever I could to make it as reliable as possible
Could always be worse. Least it didn’t do what Darren’s did and shatter the block. You’ll get it sorted mate 🤙🏻
Thats dead right, could always be worse mate
Preaty keen on watching this vid
Holy fuck man, I feel so bad for the RBM3, god bless you and hopefully Is all back together soon!
Thanks mate
😭😭😭. I felt your pain when we were chatting at drift masters mate. hope that it ends up not having any more damage to the bottom end for you. giving you an interwebs big dirty teddy bear hug to cheer you up hahahaha.
Thanks mate I appreciate that hey. Going to be awhile but I'll get it sorted
no worries man. yeah it's a vicious cycle hey. drift it break it and fix it and repeat. sucks arse. chin up man.
Damn dude. That sucks. Head up mate!
Thanks mate I'll keep pushing
That deep sigh. I feel for ya mate.
Cheers mate
hey squid what size are the tyres mate?
The tri-ace tyres are 265/35/18 mate
Chin up mate. There are bigger things in live to deal with! :)
Dead right man it was just hard to take at the time. Big shock to the system hey
DriftSquid with that much destruction to the input shaft it begs the question if the box it square and the shaft on centre. In any case it may be cheaper to get a new input shaft and oversized carrier bearing. If the engine is ok that is!
Mate. I'm so gutted for you. Hopefully the bottom end checks out ok.
Thanks heaps mate. News coming very soon on that front. Busy few weeks ahead hey
those manic clutches hold the power but I have heard of way to many of the breaking stuff or flying apartike that. bugger man, I'm sure the crank will be fine, slap a new bearing in there and she be mint

Thanks mate. Just need to get everything else sorted also
Shit go squid 😞 lift your head up mate don't let a car bring you down !
I'll be all good man. Positive vibes from you all is awesome to see
Fuck dude that’s heart braking. Really feel for you brother. Time for two Gforce box’d cars
Yeah man that's it hey
well that was heart breaking
Yeah it's a hard one to put out to the world. But I feel better doing it
Well shit fist video I seen of yours. And well that was painful. On the upside ya got a new sub and more content 👍
Thanks Tommy, appreciate that a lot hey. There will be plenty of ups but I also want to share my downs with you all. I dont think its fair to only show the ups in life.

Ah fuck!! That's soooo shithouse squid! 😭😭 Nuts how the input shaft had chewed out the flywheel hole😮 & stripped the clutch pads of the clutch!!
Yeah it made a fair old mess of everything hey
Damn!!
Devo'd for ya man, heartbreaking to see
Thanks mate. I'll be back soon enough
@@DriftSquid good to see, on another note love the rad dan merch, he is a legend
Yeah man I had to support him. He is killing it man
Sorry to hear the crankshaft has s**t it self😔
Wasn’t the cranks fault.

isn't that like a 7k gearbox designed for this kind of abuse/power levels? I'd be sending them the bill for the repairs for selling you a sub par product.
Full sequential, dog engagement with a billet housing, more like $17000
