New Project Car + BIG NEWS!

- Woody bought this Neat VG30 Twin Turbo Z32 300zx in November 2018 as a surprise for Al.
With a Melted VG30DETT and clean paint this was a perfect donor for a stupid engine conversion.
Originally Al went down the path of bolting on a pair of G25-900's to a Nissan VH41DE 4.1L Alloy V8 but as the months went past lost interest in the project due to the complexity of the build.
A few engine conversion ideas were floated around including a DCT backed Honda K24, Turbo VW VR6 or even just a stout VG30 but in the end Alan landed on the path of building a RB25/30.
With the help from some epic companies like@haltechHaltech, Go Fast Bits, Raceworks, Golebys Parts and Supercheap Auto this vision is coming to life and AL's Dream 300ZX will soon be a reality!

It’s a huge job putting out regular videos each week, and we’re all the better for you sharing your amazing skills with us all over the years Al.
Couldn't have said it better!
You guys should take a page out of the Skid Factory book. Their project cars are different each time, nobody wants to watch a youtube channel build a Honda civic or a Mira over and over.
Go slap some bought parts on your brand new car xx

@emersonc1210 and yet they still get the views
100% sticking around for Woody. Sad to see you taking a break Al - best car show on TH-cam.
Al departs in typical style - maturity and gravitas. Thanks for the advice over the years mate. In the guise of car show content you have presented us (mostly men) with great life advice. And an example of how to succeed as a man - working hard, being loyal to your mates, being a leader, being responsible for your family and looking after your mental health. Well played mate. Hope you enjoy the change.
I 100% agree with you mate, Al has always been a great father figure or mentor to many of us younger folk. Thank you Al for everything! Much love
Nicely said
Couldn’t have said it better 👍
Devastated, not going to lie.
Al, you're a hero of mine and many others I'm sure.
I've really enjoyed your progress from awkwardly standing in front of the camera to now being natural, laughing, taking the piss and being an absolute character.
I've never wished someone was my best mate AND my Dad (because you do much for the sprogs too) as much as you Al.
I hope you find what's good for you, I get that you need to look after yourself and completely understand.
Please do pop up in videos here and there, it's going to be rough without you around. ❤️🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
Wow, big news indeed. Can't say you won't be missed Al but I have every faith in Woody taking the channel forward and I will be here every week in support.
We will really miss you Al. And you've done an unreal job with this show Woody, you're nailing it and I have full faith in you keeping it going.
The banter will be missed, but will still be one of the best automotive channels out there. Great work as usual chaps, can't wait to see where the future leads you both.
i mean... the best is a stretch, it's definitely decent.... but there are a LOT of really really good channels out there. probably top 100-200 for sure though
@@Hard_Right name 10 better channels…
It’s been an amazing few years guys, and you’ll be sorely missed Al. Woody will continue to absolutely kill it though I’m sure.
Al , I understand your reasoning but man you will be sorely missed on the show as you're a wealth of knowledge, wish you luck in whatever endeavor you go !!!! Thanks for all the great content over the years Al ! BTW It was the Lamborghini Diablo that used Nissan 300 headlamps not the Countach
I will miss you Al, you are the real thing!
Far out huge news!
All the best Al, hope you enjoy some well deserved time off. It has been your delivery, knowledge and humour that has built the best automotive channel on YT.
Woody as a patron I'm 100% continuing to support you and the show. Can't wait to see your fairlane and hope you can bring in some guests to help out over the first 6 months to bounce off and have fun with. All the best boys
Al, You've taught me everything I know about wiring, engine management and fabrication, without the skid factory I'd have never completed or even attempted some of the projects that I've done in the last few years.
You guys are both an inspiration and a real motivator, and I'm sure Woody will smash hosting duties.
All the best in the future Al!
You will be sorely missed Al, from MCM to TSF to today been watching and supporting on Patreon since day 1, excited to see Woody going forward and hope to see more of you in future builds.
Good luck and enjoy your well earned YT-retirement, it has been an amazing few years.
Alan. Thank you for being so open on camera over the years, and always keeping it real. Enjoy the next chapter, and all the challenges and adventures that it brings.🙏
Al's customers will be able to look forward to having their projects completed roughly 3 times faster now they don't need to be filmed in a presentable way! 🤣
On a somewhat more serious note though, got to say a massive thanks to both Al and Woody for The Skid Factory up until this point. Was a large inspiration for us to see that it is well recieved without having to do American cars for an American audience, and some of your influence can be found in our own content. At the moment it seems like a weird landscape to imagine without Al in it, however with Woody still keen to keep it rolling I have no doubt that it will still be a ripper show 💪🏻 I'm excited for you dude and I'm sure you're planning hard AF to make sure 2024 is an absolute BANGER, and the doubters will be eating their words. Get after it brah! 💪🏻
@@TorqHubBloody oath, well said!
I am both very sad and very happy at the same time. Al, you are a top man and your advice and guidance has been so valuable and very good for my mental health. I am really excited for Woody and where he will go in the future. Your both the best mechanically obsessed virtual big brothers a man could have. Thanks for all your hard work and laughs Al, can't wait to see what's next Woody ❤
I have learned so much from you, Al. First on Mighty Car Mods, then here on The Skid Factory. You are a major role model and inspiration for me. You will be missed on the show. Can't wait to see what Woody does and what else you get into!
Flight of the Conchords - Not crying. Very fitting here. May your turbos have no lag Al, you are an epic legend. Woody, you go for it chap - anyone who can grow a 'tash like you have will have no problems going forwards!
Cheers to the next iteration of this fantastic show. I've been learning for years. Y'all have taken the time to document the small details that most outfits breeze over.
Al, I've really enjoyed your humanity, including the need for men to deal with our health, all of it, including the part between our ears. I will miss you and wish you all the best.
Al, can’t thank you enough for all the wisdom you have shared and both of you for the brilliant show you created together, the best car content on TH-cam. All the best for the next chapter and hopefully you can enjoy some R&R. Woody, cant wait to see what next year brings, looking forward to it!
Yepp, most people don't have any clue HOW MUCH WORK it is to film stuff, narrate it, edit tons of hours of footage every week and keep the production quality to a high standard. And of course how much TIME it takes to produce episodes every single week. I know Woody does the majority of the digital stuff but having the camera around like all the time can take away the fun of wrenching on cars. So I totally underatand Al's decicion. ✌️
And don't worry Woody - we surely will stick around with ya! 🤟😎
We'll miss ya Al. Thanks for all you've given us over the years, and best of luck with your future.
Thank you very much.
When I was in the swedish Airforce, there was this officer who drove a black 300 ZX. This was in 1993, I was mighty impressed. A fellow of mine, drove a Toyota Crown MK II, almost more impressing.
Wow! You will be missed Al! No doubt I'll still watch Woody!
Al (& Woody) thanks both for keeping me entertained over the years .
I know you Al are a similar age to me and your best placed to know when it’s time for a change. I know you will always have Woodys back if he needs you but passing on that baton comes to us all.
Enjoy your time away from the camera- I know you’ll pop up from time to time and share your immense knowledge, sense of humour and pearls of wisdom with us all.
I for one salute you and look will forward to seeing what’s next
.
P.s. Woody you’ll do just fine !
Damn boys. I'm not crying, you're crying. Thank you Al for the hundreds of hours of your expertise and humour you have given us. Woody, can't wait for your new career :)
Not crying. Hope AL is all good..........
damn onions
We'll all miss you Al, know exactly what you mean regarding filming for yt weekly. Everything you do takes twice as long whilst trying to record content and then the wonder of editing the episodes at night, but atleast the monetization pay is terrible! Full support for Woods and the future of the channel ❤. Don't be a stranger bro.
Wowsers. Big change. Been amazing journey for you both and look forward to see where things go from here. Best of luck with the change for you personally Al.
Woody's got our full suport, but wow... we truly gonna miss you Al we understand you need to step back have a breathe and enjoy a bit too, we will miss you buddy, mcm and car fans all around the world know and love the all mighty turboyoda. Lots of love from Spain.
Huge news but totally understand the reasons. Hope you enjoy whatever the future holds Al! As someone that has owned three z32’s, and spent hundreds of hours in the shed working on them, all the complex parts, all the weird control modules mounted in wheel wells, and the FPCU, I knew exactly what you were going to say when you pointed to the back corner. The huge transmission control unit and factory Nissan ECU, the ABS unit in the rear….bleeding it if you get air in it is hell…gosh so many memories flood back from all the countless hours I’ve spent working on these, but I’d lie if I said I didn’t get emotional seeing you work on one. These were my dream car as a little boy when I saw a horrible bright yellow one drive past me as a kid. Also I love the headlight shade thrown at lambo at the end, something any fairlady owner loves to brag about at every car meet. That’s how you know who the owner is, find the guy talking about his lights that Lamborghini use!
I’m from the Netherlands and don’t even have a car or a car license, i just ride motorbikes.
I’ve watched every single skid factory video since the beginning and Al was always so genuine, funny and a never ending source of knowledge. You will be missed Al.
Woody, you’ve grown so much the last years (judging from the videos) this channel will continue to be epic 😊
Another motorcycle only guy checking in... Good entertainment is good entertainment :-)
Gunna miss tuning in to see the yoda every Monday but can’t wait too see what woodrego has in store next year. Bring on kevvy 2024
The Lambo with the 300ZX headlights was the Diablo… but F*** that noise, Al’s retiring?!?
Thanks for all the entertainment, knowledge, fan and banter Turbo Yoda! Been a lot of joy watching you and it will be sad to see you signing off. I hope you continue to follow your passion, you will be missed.
Must also be said, Congratulations Woody! I’m sure the Skid Factory is in safe hands and it’ll be great to see where you take it in the future.
Very admirable handover dude your a legend, it’s refreshing to have someone promote the next gen with such confidence and support well done, good luck crew for next year you will smash it no probs
I’m sure we’re all Gutted we won’t see that beautiful face of yours as much on the channel, But stoked for you at the same time man. Get out there and enjoy yaself. Looking forward to seeing where Woody takes the channel. Always here and happy to help when we can 🤘🤘
All the best Al. You will absolutely be missed more than words can say. Woody we know you can bring this channel forward. Best of luck to all!
Damn Al finally leaving the TH-cam space makes you think about how much people on here inspire you.. good luck in the future big fella.
The only constant is change, Woody is going to kill it and Al gets to be a special guest now. All the best! Way to soften the blow with a RB build! 💓
Al we will miss you and miss your sense of humor. All the very best and look forward to seeing you pop up. Woody look forward to your up coming show.
I feel broken to a degree… you two have a dynamic that’s hard to replicate. Best of luck to you Al! Can’t wait to see what Woody has up his sleeves for the channel!
Echoing what everyone else has said, Al. It's been great watching you over the years both here and with MCM. It will be sad not seeing around as much, but I would rather you be happy and get to do all the other things you want to do with your life.
Al thanks for all that you have contributed and shared with everyone over the years i look forward to you appearing again on the show , enjoy your extra spare time you have !
Really sorry to see that you're stepping away from the channel Al but can't even begin to appreciate the pressure and time involved in making the videos, you will be missed. I had a small tuning company and was working all hours under lots of time pressures, etc. so can't even imagine trying to do it on camera and try to get things done in any kind of reasonable timescale. Thanks for all the years of knowledge and entertainment and good luck and all the best for the future. 😎
Enjoy your time off Al, good luck Woody with taking over the hosting, and a massive thanks to you both for creating such great content for us all to watch and feel like we were part of the ride right there with you..
ask anyone that's played Forza Horizon 5 and used the 1999 Lambo Diablo GTR (drag strip monster), you'll know those headlights straight up. you will be missed next year Al, you're one of the best dudes out there to keep a channel real and not go overboard.
Absolutely devastating. You're going to be missed massively Alan. At the same time woody will do a great job keeping the channel at the awesome level its at. Thanks for all the years of knowledge and entertainment Al.
Al, I hate to see you go. I've been watching you for many years before the skid factory. I wish you luck in your future endeavors. Woody I'm glad you're going to step up to host the show. And all the stuff that you do behind the lens is great I have watched your skills and knowledge grow over the years and I look forward to what you do in the future
Enjoy winding back the work and winding up the fun a bit, Al. Thank you for putting in so much effort between mighty car mods and the skid factory (and helping Benny out too) you're such a legend.
Heidi, you big hoon you! This little beast is gonna rip the tires of fore sure! You know hubby has your back, not because he is a projectionist or anything, but cause it is just how he does things.
Al mate, it has been a pleasure mate! Not gonna lie we are going to miss you so much mate, but at the same time you just go and live you best life mate!! And remember, it's not a dress rehearsal you only get one go at it. You have inspired so many with your innovation and enthusiasm for cars and love for all things different! You sir are a true trend setter!!
Woody, saying you have big shoes to fill is just not rite! You have always had you own style and ways and we do look forward to seeing you grow mate!
Lastly, Al please do not be afraid to share your future adventures with us! We do not care if it has flare or not, we just love seeing you being you and if Heidi wants to be part of it well all the better, just know he are here for that as well.
Dude thats devastating this is by far my favorite TH-cam channel. Hopefully you get back into it some day. So cool watching a master at something so specialized. I remember first seeing you on MCM as turbo yoda and you lived up to your name!
Ouch Al, we gonna miss you a lot. Thanks to the MCM you're like Santa or
best uncle from another part of the world. Thank you for all that you've done. Take your time, and hopefully we will see you again. At least in cameos :))
thanks for all the years you have put in Al, loved every min of it, looking forward to you popping in from time to time in future videos.
Sad to see ya "Go" Al it's always been a blast watching you guys together but totally understandable mate life comes first. Still obviously sticking around for Woody . Thanks for all the great times over the years
Been keeping up with you legends since you started up on MCMtv2 and been loving every minute of it! Gonna be very different without Al around, Woody you have huge shoes to fill but I think you’ve definitely got the talent to make it happen. Good luck with whoever you do next Allan, hopefully you are still around sharing your wisdom whenever you can.
Massively shocked - just spat my tea out!!! - Will be gutted to see Al go... but fully understand the demands of a channel.. Wish you the best of luck for whatever your future holds
Go get em Woody - it's all yours for the taking
Can see Al is battling some of his mental health stuff again ,hope being able to just do things as and when they are enjoyable without any pressure to put on a smile and talk to anyone if it's not that kinda day. ❤
Take it easy Dr Phil
Youll be sadly missed Al. Your knowledge and content has been second to none. Thank you
What a disaster 😢
Totally get it - but Al is the beating heart of TSF for me …
I wish Woody well, but this isn’t just a change it’s an ending.
Thanks Al for all you’ve shared and thanks Woody for bringing it to us.
I can hear Al shaking voice. Been following u since the turboyoda era. Gonna miss ur cool explanation on car history every time u guys revealing new projects. I learn a lot from u guys too. Gonna miss u Al next year. All the best Turboyoda 🚀🚀🚀
Al, there are things we wish were forever, but I understand you have to live the best of your life so thank you for all the knowleadge you shared with us until now, and with the Z ready, you guys should make a goodbye party with MCM and Mechanical Stig, as it was when everything begun, sliding a drift trike dressed like a witch, and sure, film it. hahaha, have a good one mate.
With or without a camera rolling, you are a legend my friend. We will all truly miss you.
Interesting fact. The later Lambo’ Diablo’s used the headlights from this car. Sad to see you go Al’, understandable though. Hope your “next” life is great! Thanks for all the incredible content over the years!
Bit sad to see that you're moving on Al, but as someone who understands mental health issues (depression, anxiety), I can tell that you need a break; stepping back is the right thing to do, so please go enjoy life and you're always welcome back here when you want to come back!
Will keep watching woodie, Come over to New Zealand for our summer events! Al your sense of humor and way of explaining things will be missed for sure, Enjoy the peace.
Gonna miss your master fabrication skills and wisdom. The channel is in fantastic hands with Woody.
The headlights were on the Lamborghini Diablo.
All the best with the next chapter mate!
It's been a pleasure watching you guys evolve over the years in front of a camera. The banter between you two is part of what makes this show great. Please drop in occasionally to tell Woody to stop sayings "smicko" too often Al.
I could listen to you mumbling at the camera for ages lol, you will be missed, out of all the TH-cam stars this would be the only channel I'd want to build my car, I've learned so much from you.
Wishing you all the best
Headlights were used in the Diablo (which were just a countach with a new body.. still crap). Al you will be sorely missed, I relate to you as a fellow mechanic more so than most content creators. All the best for you and your family going forward and thanks for sharing your vast knowledge! Looking forward to see what Woody does with the channel.
I looked forward to every Wednesday for the last 4-5 years to see the boys. If woody is working in Al's shed I hope I see him in the background.
Al and woody, you have given me the confidence to learn abd get used to fuel injection, ill always remember Al saying "every wire just goes someplace"
Thanks for everything Alan! I'll continue with the channel as the content is awesome. Best of luck with the challenge Woody!
Wasn’t expecting that. Al I’d like to shake your hand and say thanks for all the knowledge. Definitely sounds like the right move for your personal life
Al thankyou for the content. Your alter ego Turbo Yoda brought me here. You deserve a break and hope you do make some guest appearances. Woody, I look forward to seeing what you do. Thanks to both of you for 5 years of great vids..
Thanks you for the time youve given us all. We appreciate you.
Holly lemon squash! You will be massively missed! Your car knowledge is unmatched Al more over you such a gentleman! All class.
I'm all for this project. Love me a Nissan & RB's.
As for the news, crazy how sad you can feel when you find out some dude on the internet you have seen around here & there won't be hosting 😢. Woody obviously got this ❤
You were my automotive hero since MCM, Al. Thank you for everything.
Aww man - love you lots Al, godspeed, stick your head in from time to time with Roger
Turbo Yoda is my favorite car builder. I’m a lifelong Toyota guy but the only Nissan I really, REALLY want is an RB26DETT powered Z32. This build series is going to be the best. Im saddened it’ll be his last that I get to witness.
Turbo yoda is a legend going to miss the chemistry of the two of you best wishes for 2024 an woody has this can't wait to see how he runs it in front of the camera best of luck woody
Turbo Yoda we bid you farewell my friend you have inspires me over the last few years you truly are a staple in the auto community...have fun be safe ND keep wrenching
Wow! Gonna miss you Al!
First met you on mighty car mods as I'm sure a lot of us did.
Best of life moving forward to you!
Sad to see Al moving away from youtube, but he can be proud of the catalog that he contributed to here. Some of the best automotive content out there.
Glad you’re doing what’s best for you instead of slogging along hating what you do and burning out. Genuinely sad to you go though, it’s been a privilege to be entertained and educated by you these past years.
😢😢😢 I'm really going to miss you Al... And to go out on a 300zx.. RB conversion..truly a man with style.. 😎 I love you dude..🤙 Rock on you crazy diamond...🤙
Al is the GOAT and I cannot put into words how much admiration i have for him, his skills and brilliant dry humour. I will really miss the chemistry between Al and Woody
So sad to see you step back Al, but I'm around the same age and traveling and enjoying our golden days have to be a priority. Sacrifices have to be made. Thanks for all the awesome videos and jokes. I hope to see you on the show every so often. But I hope you have fun as you get out n about. Congrats
Thanks for the run Al, and the laughs you where the cause of. Best to you and see you here and there 👍
Well, I wasn't expecting that this evening.
Good luck Al, the internet won't be the same without you!
Damn. Last thing I expected to hear, Turbo Yoda. Your “ talking shit to the camera” is an important part of the chemistry that makes t.s.f magic, Al. That said, you have to do whats best for you, and cheers for your hard work, your honesty about mens mental & physical health, and the laughs. Be a guest often, ok ? Woody, buckle up my friend, things might get a lil bumpy, but we aren’t going anywhere.
Oh damn, not messing around with the big news. Truely will be missed Al, loved the no nosense educational yet hilarious content and banter. You got this Woody, grab the bull by the horns and hold on!!
Sad to hear Al, but understandable too. You are one of the few channels I have followed fairly religiously because of the excellent information, no bullshit advice, and excellent humour. Good luck for the future.
Thanks for the shout out! If you ever do decide to do an LS in anything... we'd love to work with you.
As a TH-camr myself, albeit on a much smaller scale, I can vouch for just how much effort it takes to produce regular content. Putting out even one video a week is a full time job, and as soon as you start filming something, it ends up taking four times longer than just getting on and doing it, and that doesn't include editing and all the rest of the "behind the scenes" stuff. You guys have done a great job and I for one will be continuing to watch. Good luck to you all 🙂
Firstly when you finally relinquish the role I hope you manage to get a well deserved rest and time away from work.
However it will be a lump in the throat moment when you do. As a fellow Al (Alan like you rather than the fake Al’s) having spent far too many years watching you first on might car mods and then the skid factory I’ve enjoyed every single one. You will always be the turbo Yoda and I hope you, Marty, Moog, Benny and Scott get back together again for a build in the future.
Big respect to the big turbo yoda! The woody factory is something i look forward to.
Wem all will be sad to see you leave the show Al, yet cest la vie. Best of luck to Woody to keep the ship sailing.
We will miss you big fella. Woody will be great following on in your footsteps. Love the show.
Good on ya mate :-) Enjoy just dropping by the show whenever you want. And I really like when folks give up the reigns before being burnt out, too old, dead, ... And I think it's time for Woody to graduate.
