I don’t know why watching you put that caltracs on was surprisingly entertaining. I think it was the back and fourth banter with professional race team mechanics and Adam’s rudnic way of trying. 😅
@@unnamed6419 Just as a jab at Adam for lols, he is so analytical and detail oriented. It is funny when he works on projects himself, he turns into a driveway mechanic, not worrying about the details he obsesses over on the other builds.
Final clip with Hughes was sick. Love having the FD guys in the compound. You should do more content with the FD drivers. They're all so fun and have great energy
With the plasma cutter, if you use a straight edge that can keep the nozzle about an 1/8th inch above what you're cutting, it works a lot better. Keep practicing, Fabrication is awesome.
I gotta say Adam i wasnt subscribed before....but after this series with this car and watching you work on it was amazing....this is the build that earned my sub.
needs to buy some viking shocks with studs on each end. will fit straight in with the holes in the caltrac spring saddle bracket underneath the diff. watching this was frustrating haha
This has been my favourite "build" if you will by far haha. Love the old school Japenese era!! And these leaf spring suspension issue has really helped me with my Datsun 120Y (B210 for you guys haha) build and I'm glad I don't have to break the bank getting a 3 or 4 link rear end! Thanks Adam and crew, much love from Australia :) !!!!
Love old school JDM too, can't wait to see what they do with this one.. The rx-2 and 3 are crazy popular now in Australia and NZ.. I'm betting Adam will get another couple thousand subscribers just with this build 😅 Not that he needs it... Lol
@@AudioReviewsDownunder your not wrong brother, too bad they come with an insane price tag 😅 Thankfully the Dattos have gone up a bit finally haha. Will be good once I get my other two back on the road and sold to a good home. Then the build can properly begin with my first one thats a keeper. Will be alot more fun than their stock drive train though 😉
Yo Adam watching you guys run that lathe was pretty scary ! You should always have at least 1/3 of the part clamped inside the chuck to avoid it flying out. Also your tool is out too far, dont be afriad to use the tailstock to help keep the part secure and run true ! Not to mention invest in a cutoff tool, Using a turning insert for a cutoff tool is innovative but not the best idea 😂A good set of verniers and micrometers will also help you with tolerances.
Use the center to line it out before clamping instead of hamering. If you start learning things the proper way its 1/2 the job done. Get some equipment like dial gauges and use them to line out. The first time you work with an independent 4 claw plate it will take have a day 😉. Nice to see you doing things yourself again like in the beginning when i started following you.
Haha man, i was cringing from the first time he said “let’s lathe it down” Ive had the thought a few times of trying to start a consulting business for TH-camrs 😂 where I come in and help them get setup and teach them how to use basic manual equipment. So they don’t lose an arm to a lathe or look like a buffoon.
I’m loving this new car and Adam doing things MOSTLY alone! Trying to best the shock on with the plate in the way, had me lmao!!!! I love the car and love the regular simple way of doing things!!!
My s10 truck runs 5.80s on no prep on the street with just cal tracs, trz antiroll bar, and viking shocks on stock leafs with overloads removed...they work incredibly well
Datsuns are common here in Australia. Have a look at MADDAT they have plenty of parts for the 1200. Like there awesome s chassis crossmember conversion that I have in my 1200 ute
Happy to say i commented on the last video about installing cal-tracs for a period correct build! Hope you researched and took my recomendation (as an old school hot rod guy)
I love these little cars and feel in love with rotary engine when I was a teenager Puerto Rico race teen came to atco race way but still have not built one but it is on my list after finishing my current projects
Cool I really liked this video.. this is the fun part of building cars running into problems and using what you got and your imagination to fix it instead of having someone else do it for you or buying new parts specially on old cars like these!! 🙌🙌
Couldn’t care less about the 4 rotor supra, or just about any of the cars on the channel these days, but an update on the musty old Datsun with a turbo2 swap? INSTANTLY clicking the video, hitting like and dropping a comment 😂
Wow, I watched the whole process and I'm really happy that it worked out for you. On the other hand, according to my thorough calculations, if you had Superman fly in the opposite direction of Earth's rotation and change the effect of gravity on your wheel hop, it would have been easier and cheaper in the long run.
at 20:31 it's the before the mod and at 20:41 it says the before again, i think it needs to says "after" because, small editor mistake xd Keep up the good work adam, good video
Loving watching you do it wrong rather than paying someone. That u-bolt engagement is sketchy though. Get some longer u-bolts any medium duty truck spring shop can make you some.
Instead of smashing on the bushing in the leaf spring, you can just put it in a press or bench vice and presto....! (Kinda fun watching a noob just learning the hard way, it's why I love favrication... the tricks and tips are seamingly endless when it comes to producing a component)
I really am enjoying this little series but it really hurts my soul 😢 as a classic car enthusiast and mechanic that leaf spring suspension is such a wild and strange concept to Adam and many of the others😅
first video I've watched to the end. only because Im a jealous prick, now he's learning blue collar skills which we have to do to have nice things, well done Adam!
Pretty cool to see how Adam was in school for engineering. “I’m pretty sure he dropped out to pursue TH-cam”. Yet here he is doing all the engineering things by trade.
From my perspective of how you took the video.. The hanger that you pulled out to press the bolt out looks like it can flip to the other side of the car and vice-versa and give you a few inches in length extra based on the way the tabs are sitting it looks like could be wrong but that's how it looks like from the video
Im fairly impressed that Adam has a love for the older cars too. These days people just want new shyt... Hey, my nissan champ 1400 ute has the same suspension in the rear lol. Maybe I should add a brace but keep the stock a14 motor cause I aint got no money to throw in a 13b bridgeported motor
Adam trying his best to not just rebuild this entire car is admirable.
Yep! It way to clear, he wants to throw the engine to Vargas brothers, and sand the whole car down, and paint it
I like to see Adam working on the car himself bring me back 😅
Adam is too stupid to rebuild anything! His "Team" does everything Infront of and behind the scenes! Any tool can edit themselves into relevance!
Yeah hahaha
Oh it’s gonna happen before to long
Adam being over zealous with the hammer
Mike: "Ruddnik, Stop.." haha!
Made me almost spit my drink! 😂
I was laughing too hard at that
I don’t know why watching you put that caltracs on was surprisingly entertaining. I think it was the back and fourth banter with professional race team mechanics and Adam’s rudnic way of trying. 😅
I assume that dude was one of Matt Fields crew? with the Corvette comments and seeing his car the last video
Funny thing is it actually worked
@@solatyn its matt fields crew chief, they are fixing Zadara's car for prospec in new jersey
I like the difference between the before and before
Was going to say this
Select + alt drag happens
This feels like the old days when you'd be working on the 240, just now there's race cars in the background 🤣 great stuff, keep it coming!!
I remember when he bought the s15 and stored it in the old warehouse. Taylor had his dads Jaguar parked in the corner of the lot outside
Ok now I get why Adam surrounds himself with good mechanics, lol. Good job, though, bud.
You were questioning why he does that?😂
@@unnamed6419 Just as a jab at Adam for lols, he is so analytical and detail oriented. It is funny when he works on projects himself, he turns into a driveway mechanic, not worrying about the details he obsesses over on the other builds.
Haha the way he is hammering on everything is pretty funny. The guys he surrounds himself with are great....more so fabricators than just mechanics.
I didn't want this video to end. Love this car
Same lmao
right!? These projects are always a blast especially on this channel 🙏
Final clip with Hughes was sick. Love having the FD guys in the compound. You should do more content with the FD drivers. They're all so fun and have great energy
Agree 110%
For sure. Hughes is such a vibe, he seemed like such a genuine dude. Hadn't seem him outside of FD before.
I love the before and before comparison😁
I was confused
Editing mistake
With the plasma cutter, if you use a straight edge that can keep the nozzle about an 1/8th inch above what you're cutting, it works a lot better. Keep practicing, Fabrication is awesome.
This… works great, if you find the right bit of scrap
"If rather do it wrong myself than pay somebody to do it properly"
Is my lifelong motto
Facts😂
Dylan Hughes is one of the last people I thought I’d see in an LZ video at the compound but now I want more lol.
😂😂 The Before --> Before at 20:32 calling you out Mike!! Lol
This is definitely one of my favorite build series ❤❤❤❤
safe to assume that the best of 2022 part 2 video isnt going to happen
biiig sad
Pt2 came out 7 hours ago lad.
I gotta say Adam i wasnt subscribed before....but after this series with this car and watching you work on it was amazing....this is the build that earned my sub.
needs to buy some viking shocks with studs on each end. will fit straight in with the holes in the caltrac spring saddle bracket underneath the diff. watching this was frustrating haha
That Before/Before of the wheel hop there Mike haha!
I have a 1200 ute I imported from Japan and I'm so glad that a big creator is giving it the love it deserves!
This has been my favourite "build" if you will by far haha. Love the old school Japenese era!!

What he said 👌🏻

Watching this bring me back to old Adam videos and it’s amazing
I’m loving this new car and Adam doing things MOSTLY alone! Trying to best the shock on with the plate in the way, had me lmao!!!! I love the car and love the regular simple way of doing things!!!
Graham making fun of the kids hammer sent me😂😂😂
“Lathe it down” 😂😂 Come on Adam, you ‘turn’ things down on a lathe 👍
My s10 truck runs 5.80s on no prep on the street with just cal tracs, trz antiroll bar, and viking shocks on stock leafs with overloads removed...they work incredibly well
Love that this car is a straight driver not a full on build just making her right something to tinker with
Datsuns are common here in Australia. Have a look at MADDAT they have plenty of parts for the 1200. Like there awesome s chassis crossmember conversion that I have in my 1200 ute
Graham’s guest appearance was awesome hahah. Nice video, good meknekin on the ole 1200 😂
Dude this is one of the best vids I’ve seen from you in a while. Feels like old times. I love it.
Haha great video man! Loved the way you showed the whole process even tho it wasn’t working out. Turned out to be a success!
Probably my favourite build on the channel
So good having the old school jdm content. A kp starlet or ke corolla would be good to follow!
I really love the fabrication in your videos I’ve always worked jobs in machinery and it really shows me how far my knowledge could go.
Adam LZ Awesome Video I'm glad you guys fixed your Datsun 1200's Wheel hop problem and I can't wait to see more of the build
There is a beauty to classic Datsun's. I'm new to the channel, and didn't realize you were in the FLA. Glad to see something good from my state.
I sincerely have you as an example to follow in this life, greetings.
Happy to say i commented on the last video about installing cal-tracs for a period correct build! Hope you researched and took my recomendation (as an old school hot rod guy)
Adam kinda seems like a liability using power tools and equipment. But at least he is learning and growing confidence in his own abilities. Keep it up
that before & before comparison was sick!

Been an rotary aussie drag racer love puerto rico these vids are mad!.🇦🇺🇵🇷
This is like watching me or any other average person work on a car 😂 it’s great
Love this video has the old school vibes of adam in the garage at the house.
So refreshing seeing content like this
Hell yeah, looks like they made a world of difference 👍
Watching the before and before footage shows a massive difference 😂
Dylan is such a rad dude an so underrated
these daily LZ uploads are giving me actual life
Couldn’t care less about the 4 rotor supra, or just about any of the cars on the channel these days, but an update on the musty old Datsun with a turbo2 swap? INSTANTLY clicking the video, hitting like and dropping a comment 😂
I love watching Adam work on his cars😂
It’s the most relatable part of him lol

this is my fav car in your line up
Johan:”we forgot about it.” (We didn’t tell you so you wouldn’t break it.) 😂
Yeah that entertainment value was over 9000 😂 Loved this one
the right part for the wrong car works all the time with a layth good job adam, trac bars is what i said it needed
I love you Adam. I hope you see this your videos give me motivation to keep going
This series is gonna be epic
at 20:31 it's the before the mod and at 20:41 it says the before again, i think it needs to says "after" because, small editor mistake xd
Keep up the good work adam, good video
Cat tracks are run successfully in some no prep vehicles with well over 1000 hp. Slapper bars are so old school cool
We called them tramp rods for some reason back in the 70s and 80s here in Australia 🇦🇺.
Coz they stop wheel hop or axle tramp
Tramp rods and slapper bars . personally I think a chrome set of slapper bars doesn't look too bad on an old skool Holden .
@@jeffreybamford1171 tramps and slappers make the world go round
@@jessegray4400 true that🤘🏻
@@jeffreybamford1171 I had them on my HD back in the day
Love the before and before action 😂
Wow! the before and before shot was incredible!
Cool to see a celebration with Matt Armstrong checking out the old gt3.
with a live axle, one of the shocks is supposed to be in front of the axel which helps dampen any axle wrap
Loving watching you do it wrong rather than paying someone. That u-bolt engagement is sketchy though. Get some longer u-bolts any medium duty truck spring shop can make you some.
20:32 I love the before and before comparison, such better.
Enjoyed the whole vid brother wicked turn out on the mint box 😁👍
So stoked about all the rotary content lately!!!
Are you guys hiring?
Love watching people's descent into madness.
Adam just throwing the word "shim" around like a madman lol
Adam i know you’ve had this compound for a while but damn it’s hitting me these machines n warehouse looks clean asffffff
Instead of smashing on the bushing in the leaf spring, you can just put it in a press or bench vice and presto....! (Kinda fun watching a noob just learning the hard way, it's why I love favrication... the tricks and tips are seamingly endless when it comes to producing a component)
Graham is the best lol
🙏🏻
Damn Adams looking good with the fresh trim.
I really am enjoying this little series but it really hurts my soul 😢 as a classic car enthusiast and mechanic that leaf spring suspension is such a wild and strange concept to Adam and many of the others😅
Yeah I had never really thought about it until this Datsun, most younger guys have absolutely no idea how leaf springs work.
Yeah.. let it soak in.. you are old... 😉
@@nicotrial Its great being old, we survived being young, dumb and stupid...
@@nicotrial I think the word you’re looking for is “wise”
@@XxmillerniaxX The amount of shit I’ve survived is mind blowing. I still don’t know how I’ve lived past 30….
You will most likely get better traction if you cut the mounts and set the pinion angle correctly
ayyyyy just coimmented on the last video to get cal tracs lol glad to see you got em!
first video I've watched to the end. only because Im a jealous prick, now he's learning blue collar skills which we have to do to have nice things, well done Adam!
All the Aussie and Kiwi rotary boys will be watching you build this one 😅 👌👍
Idk if I’ve ever seen wheel hop from the inside of the wheel before, looks so much more violent.
When the dude at the lathe said we’ll just cut the bung off and cut the tube and reweld I felt so much better.
Oh i like this build, very similar to the builds we do in Australia.
Actually enjoyed your fab work
The before/after clip at the end just says before/before xD, but damn the difference is nuts! The Datsun looks like so much fun!
Adam hitting us with that before/before footage
Pretty cool to see how Adam was in school for engineering. “I’m pretty sure he dropped out to pursue TH-cam”. Yet here he is doing all the engineering things by trade.

Great Vid Adam!
Sounds so good 👍
Cuto coils and air bags 😂 its ok mike no judgement.
We need a ghetto build series, you know it will be the most fun to drive and good content haha
LOVE THE HAIRCUT BROOO
