The radio goes in the top slot, bottom one is for the center bose speaker. The phrase on the gas cap is french. My only guess would be that because parts of Canada like Quebec speak French so maybe its a North American market thing. Id have to confirm by looking at the jdm, aus, and euro market versions. Great stuff man👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Oh fire hazards. I really need to Cary an extinguisher in all my cars. Drove with a fuel loop gasket leak for a week before I saw it. I'm absolutely loving all these uploads. My wife and I still binge watch every morning.
I love this man; he is a big inspiration and now I want to work on cars more often, his voice isn't loud or obnoxious, I like learning from your videos, and I truly enjoy your content and whenever I see a new video I have to watch it and sometimes I wish there was more. Definitely my favorite TH-camr!
Wd40 works really well on dip, you let it sit and it gets behind the dip and you can just blast it off with a pressure washer. That's what I did on some wheels I bought.
your comment about high mileage reminded me that someone in the Z31 community found one on carfax that had racked up over 600k miles. Just like you said, it really makes you wonder!
Do you remember million mile joe? The dude with the cb accord that made it over a million miles. He’s from Maine like me. It’s a pretty cool story, Honda took his accord into a museum and gave him a brand spanking new accord for that cb accord with over a million miles.
Only discovered your channel about a week ago, and I've watched about 30 of your videos already. Great channel, I've got a Nissan Silvia S14a myself, and love how you explain how and why you do each repair, modification or change to your cars. Keep up the excellent work buddy, you've definitely earned a sub from me 🙂
11:05 - Figured I'd note as someone with further electrical experience, those twist-on connectors themselves aren't bad, it's usually just the idiots using them for everything that are. They only work just as intended with thicker solid core copper wires, like what's used in the walls of a home for connecting lightswitches/electrical outlets, most automotive applications opt for stranded wire because many strands conduct better than one solid core line - and of course, the twist-on connector is meant for solid core, not stranded wire.
car is finally taking shape, especially with those green plate lights gone (although it's kinda sad since they were funny). and those speakers sound really nice for stock ones, even though the video also, that sticker in the gas door is "unleaded fuel" in french. a lot of cars have this. more often it'll say "essence sans plomb suelement" instead (and that transition at 26:36 was the cleanest one on the channel, i had to replay it a few times)
I just love the consistent uploades thank’s Mike ! And as a french guy I can tell you the « super sans plomb seulement » is just the translation of « premium unleaded fuel only » in french !
The only time I ever used those twist cap connectors was when my wires under my trailer for the lights got caught on a branch and broke😢 well I eventually got pulled over by the police and they waited till I fixed it to let me go without a ticket and that's all I had lmao😂
A lot of people argue that these heatshrinks don't have enough solder to make proper connections, and I do think that's a valid point, but I don't see anything wrong with using them for low amp applications where you already run thin wires, like activating relays or maybe signal wires. The glue inside it is a nice touch too. But you do need to be careful with heat as these heatshrinks can melt, or frayed wire pieces can pierce through the heatshrink. Then again I did use them a lot when working inside my car since it's more convenient than using extensions and waiting for iron to heat up - especially when weather outside is not ideal
5:44 I love a good black wheel, they usually have to be a 1 piece wheel or if its a multi piece the lips have to be polished (I personally hate "murdered" out 3 piece wheels). I don't see a lot of good black wheels around where im from because most are low quality plasti dip or spray paint and they look bad regardless of what you do. I plan on going with some used wheels and get them powder coated but thats after the laundry list of maintenance, fixing, and performance things i want to do
honestly the biggest thing you could do in a day is painting the hood the oem green color would button this thing up beautifully! love the OEM color on it, and painting a hood is pretty easy and fast.
I really need to find a set of beads seat covers for my hornet 🤣 it was my grandmothers car and would be fitting. Backhalf for the fiero? got to give us a run down on that shenanigans 🤣 the only ugly left is that broken piece in the back and the chipping clear. If you wet sand that area you can reclear it, just focus on removing the bad clear and if it bleeds colour you just want to remove the top oxidized layer. Best part, cant make it worse and looking minty already 👌
Wirenuts or twisty's as you call them. Are used in household electronic where you should have solid core copper wires rather than the strand type. Although here in europe the wago connecter is more popular. So i doubt the wire nuts where a good choice for car electronics that looked insanely sketchy lol.
For the antenna you have to add a relay and use the amo turn on wire to trigger it. Since the radio gives a ground signal the relay can turn that into a 12V output for you
when you're soldering, put your soldering iron on the bottom of the wires. I like to add a little ball of solder right between the soldering iron and the wire to promote heat transfer, then put the solder itself into the top of the wires. This will allow the solder to wick into the wires better because the wire itself is melting the solder and create a much more solid connection. ChrisFix has a really good video explaining how to solder if you need a demonstration. Those all-in-one solder butt connectors are really cool though. also "super sans plomb seulement" is just french for premium unleaded only
Mannn I think my favorite thing about your videos (other than obviously the car and skating content) is your transitions when you have to turn the cars around and such, it’s so cool!
For the aircraft remover... or really anything that has to sit on the surface for a while I like to cover it in saran wrap or a garbage bag. It will stop it from evaporating
Solder Sticks are AWESOME. I always liked using solder and heat shrink as apposed to splice connectors (which are what most dealer techs are REQUIRED to use for repair) when i found these the shop foreman ordered everybody a kit. They are so nice and easy to use.
Also thanks for explaining the wiring !! I’ve been needing to do some wiring and it’s been something I’m dreading doing but you make it seem a lot easier than I once thought
These videos really making me want to get my Z32 going again. My 2+2 came with Bose speaker system and the bottom slot is where a Bose center speaker went, which like the digital clock rarely still works when you get the car. Awesome stuff!
Love the back to back uploads Mike! Glad you are having so much fun with the Z. I finally got around my own car and upgraded the turbo, bushes plus got the car all ready for panel and paint! Keep up the good work bro! Here since 2022 🤙🏽
It is really common for ppl doing their first engine out or rebuild on these engines to try and put the regulator before the rails, that starves them. This is a return style regulator most vehicles have an in tank system called returnless I have throttle bodies and its done just before it enters the TBI . I mostly comment just for analytics hey
You should put a nice sound system in that daily. Not necessary a big sub in the hatch but maybe even just door speakers. I really like my Euphoria door speakers in my speed3. Been awhile since I last listened to them 😢
The radio is meant to go on the upper hole. But i think it's better where it is now, closer to your hand. Men I just love this built, don't get me wrong the 240 built is awesome that's how I found your channel, but I have a special bond with 300zx's. Plus putting a ka into it was amazing and unique to say the least.
Snag yourself a tbl from the dealership if you want a new one. That way you can open/check it before you leave to make sure its not broken. if you do have another shipped, have them put it in a pvc pipe!
When doing auto to manual swaps on my s13s I always took a template of the manual brake pedal and traced it on the auto pedal then cut the auto pedal into the proper shape and then I put a manual pedal pad on and nobody ever knew it was swapped.
On the s13 pedal there's a gusset on the back that needed trimmed back about 1/4 inch to make the pad sit flush, but all in it took less time and effort to cut the auto pedal than it did to swap it out for a manual one.
love the builds bro! as soon as i discovered your channel about mid april, about your smashed 240, and I was hooked. so glad you finished it! keep on grinding
Those solder seals are a must have for automotive wiring. Safe, reliable, and done correctly the first time around. Never had an issue with these which I can’t say for typical butt connectors
radio goes in top pocket so its away from your hand while shifting. plus the bottom hole is for a pocket or for the center channel speakers that came with the upgraded bose stereo systems.
I do my stereos the same way and all my friends thought I was crazy for soldering and taping! I was like HOW DO YOU TRUST THOSE!!! Radio goes up top and tray below just like 240s also all the radio harnesses are universal so you can use any brand with the wiring.
@18:50 you are correct radio has to be grounded through the chasis and not harness. on the floor of the hole for the radio, inthe back left corner, they is a metal tab bolted to the floor with 1 10mm screw/bolt. this tab is actuaoly a male terminal that you can connected a female terminal to for your ground. that is how and where the oem stereo grounds to the chasis.
3:00 "Always good to do a visual inspection when you take a wheel off" proceeds to hit suspension me: NOOOOOO that's not a visual inspection!!! love the vids, keep up the amazing work!
You can use either or radio ports on the harness. It's just an extra in case one breaks or in some cases it can be used for a CB radio. Also the two extra wires on your radio harness are for dimmer when you turn on your lights at night.
You should try glueing the 3rd brake light back together and then put some parts store tint over it and see if that disguises the damage. New one's are like $300 and they break easily during shipping. If you try this I'd recommend doing all it with it still installed on the car. Trying to remove it will probably break it into more pieces
For your Gaz cap, it's in French. It's means, Only (seulement) Petrol (Sans Plomb) Super is an old Petrol with "lead" inside, vanish in 2000 Now we have only Diesel, Sans plomb 95 and Sans plomb 98 with more Octane in it
Don't forget e85 ! And SP95 E10😂 I don't know if we can still find "real" sp95, hasn't it already been replaced by e10 ? Or maybe they replaced sp98 (which almost no one buys anymore) and kept sp95 and e10, I don't know, I don't use any of these anymore.
From what I've seen, gasoline is really good at getting plastidip off, I've seen plastidipped cars spill a little gasoline down the side and it just takes the dip right off pretty much
Those are suppose to be BOSE speaker!!! Amazing sound. I got a home system. Also the head unit goes on the top part and a CD player goes on the bottom. There's a trim like yours for a double din. Keep it up man. Love ur content. Sending only good vibes from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
23:40 yeaaaah... that's one thing that kinda sucks about modern head units, they're made with modernish cars in mind and because they don't have retractable antennas, the signal doesn't exist - I ended up getting a second antenna housing, gutting it and putting a hard mounted short antenna in because the stock one was hilariously tall lol
So the only black wheels I have an exception for are the xxr black wheels and those connectors you bought bro I bought the same ones to do my front wire harness on my Accord came with over 200 pieces car looks good mike 😎 I dig it
When I removed the spray paint from my wheels, I ended up using CitriStrip. Works OK, smells great and doesn't damage the original finish (at least in my application.) But boy was that a lot of scraping.
« Super Sans Plomb Seulement » is french for « Premium Unloaded Fuel Only » Premium = Super, Unleaded = Sans Plomb, Only = Seulement From a fellow french Canadian, I say thank you for all the awesome content :)
Last time I installed a stereo and used butt connectors (yeah I know) and was getting weird behavior with one channel randomly cutting out so I went in and soldered all the power and ground connections, haven't had a problem since. I will definitely use Soldersticks in the future.
I always had good luck with the goof off for the plasti dip unfortunately they discontinued the spray can you have here in Canada but I had black on chrome wheels, let the goof off sit and hit it with a pressure washer all came right off
every time i have something not working, i always check the ground connection. 9 time out of 10 its the ground i also wonder if thats a canadian car, if it has the french in the fuel door
There's thing called clutch pedal freeplay and some cars are stupid high freeplay my fc is almost 0 which is nuts but when it was over an inch out of spec it was annoying to drive when I adjusted it back it became easier and nicer to drive and manage
The very first time I did a radio on a Nissan (after doing them on many different models of cars) I was so confused why it didn’t work untill I moved the ground off the harness to a bolt behind the radio and it worked perfectly. So weird that Nissan does that and most other manufacturers don’t.

The sponsor’s product on this video is interesting. Soldering every wiring makes the life easier.
The sticker on your gas cap said the same thing twice, once in english, second time in french.
Seulement = only
What music do you use in your videos
im sold
liking cars is pretty much all about having fun
Definitely!
it should be anyways but people are strange lol
Most car content creators = spending money you don't have to impress people you don't know. That's why I like Mike's videos so much 🖤
Once your past the learning curve haha
Love the frequent uploads. A lot of respect to you Mike!
Much appreciated homie!
Its nice to see a youtuber take sponsors that actually help majority of their fans instead of a straight cash grab :)
My hat is off to you for putting the miles on the cluster and keeping it accurate. People aren't honest like that anymore.
The radio goes in the top slot, bottom one is for the center bose speaker.
The phrase on the gas cap is french. My only guess would be that because parts of Canada like Quebec speak French so maybe its a North American market thing. Id have to confirm by looking at the jdm, aus, and euro market versions.
Great stuff man👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Interesting! learning more and more each day! 🙏
that marking sticker also applies for EUDM (uk and france) jdm ones should all be in japanese
@@badrockboy yup that checks out. Guess they were able to knock out 2 birds with 1 stone lol
French on labels is required in all of Canada 👍
i'm literally using these wire connectors every day at work as a mechanic. They are so usefull to fix wires or do harness stuff in general
Oh fire hazards. I really need to Cary an extinguisher in all my cars. Drove with a fuel loop gasket leak for a week before I saw it.
I'm absolutely loving all these uploads. My wife and I still binge watch every morning.
so glad to see the 240 go from totalled and chopped to whole again and im even more excited to see the 300 come back from being ratty and junked out
RADIO goes on top. Lower is usually a pocket but if it had the option, it was a speaker.
I love this man; he is a big inspiration and now I want to work on cars more often, his voice isn't loud or obnoxious, I like learning from your videos, and I truly enjoy your content and whenever I see a new video I have to watch it and sometimes I wish there was more.

Wd40 works really well on dip, you let it sit and it gets behind the dip and you can just blast it off with a pressure washer. That's what I did on some wheels I bought.
probably the one and only sponsor i've ever watched because it actually had something to do with what you were doing
Solder sticks: the next best thing! I need to get 2 of these cases

😢you got to watch the 240 build to what it’s now with our having to wait 😭lucky mother trucker
@@fraggett_-_8260 Those are the vids I have been watching, but the 'Fire Hazards' title brought me to this one. Gonna watch THEM ALL 😛

You've got the 90's seat cover!! That's cool 😎
Had to match the vibe!

yes !! je confirme ahah
A tip for the aircraft paint remover, cover it with some plastic of some sort. Plastic wrap work fine (the one you use for food)
"super sans plomb seulement"
inside the gas lid is a translation in french of
"premium unleaded fuel only" :)

"This isn't a table it's an S13" that hit hard for a lot of guys.
honestly the biggest thing you could do in a day is painting the hood the oem green color
would button this thing up beautifully! love the OEM color on it, and painting a hood is pretty easy and fast.
True! Asking my painter friends if they'd be down 😅
There is a spray and also a pen (like a pump pen) that removes the solder rosin, which is an acidic flux, when you solder wires or boards.
love seeing parts from my old car in these videos
when diagnosing a coolant leak in my NA Miata I accidently swapped my feed and return fuel lines, that took me 3 days to find out. good times
I really need to find a set of beads seat covers for my hornet 🤣 it was my grandmothers car and would be fitting. Backhalf for the fiero? got to give us a run down on that shenanigans 🤣 the only ugly left is that broken piece in the back and the chipping clear.

such a chill vibe!
Still need to cut/replace the brake pedal!
« Super sans plomb seulement » 😂😂
Your french accent is almost perfect dude 🇫🇷
Got some ferris bueller vibes with the car in the air like that😂😂
Wow, you accomplished a lot in this video. I'm glad you didn't forget to change those license plates bulbs.
Your def working your butt off man im heart for your videos 25/8 you’ve been on a roll
For the antenna you have to add a relay and use the amo turn on wire to trigger it. Since the radio gives a ground signal the relay can turn that into a 12V output for you

Nothing better then buttoning up a fresh build! Such a relief!
The "super sans plomp seulement" on the fuel door is the same as above only it's in french😭
Love the videos
« super sans plomb seulement » means to only put « super sans plomb » which is the French version of premium unleaded fuel
For the aircraft remover... or really anything that has to sit on the surface for a while I like to cover it in saran wrap or a garbage bag. It will stop it from evaporating
Solder Sticks are AWESOME. I always liked using solder and heat shrink as apposed to splice connectors (which are what most dealer techs are REQUIRED to use for repair) when i found these the shop foreman ordered everybody a kit. They are so nice and easy to use.
Glad you got the lights for the license plate the green lights just was not doing it 😂
Also thanks for explaining the wiring !! I’ve been needing to do some wiring and it’s been something I’m dreading doing but you make it seem a lot easier than I once thought

Keep up the good work bro! Here since 2022 🤙🏽
I love those sodder sticks, for pretty much any electrical repair I’ve made those are on there, from my radio install to custom building my tail light
It is really common for ppl doing their first engine out or rebuild on these engines to try and put the regulator before the rails, that starves them.
This is a return style regulator most vehicles have an in tank system called returnless I have throttle bodies and its done just before it enters the TBI . I mostly comment just for analytics hey
"the hint is 'Green'..." my mind went straight to plate lights

Turtle wax sticker and adhesive remover. Is my go to for spray paint and plasti dip
love the builds bro! as soon as i discovered your channel about mid april, about your smashed 240, and I was hooked. so glad you finished it! keep on grinding

I remember picking that damn aircraft remover up for like 7.99 back in 2016 the price on aerosol cans forced my move to paint guns 😅
Move your ground on your radio to the floor or a metal bracket, i always have to do that with nissans for some reason with aftermarket radios
I do my stereos the same way and all my friends thought I was crazy for soldering and taping! I was like HOW DO YOU TRUST THOSE!!!
Radio goes up top and tray below just like 240s also all the radio harnesses are universal so you can use any brand with the wiring.
Love seeing the little things coming together. Adjust the e brake next so it's not pointing at the sky. That one is always an eye sore for me lol
BMX kids were lucky to get paint stripping dialed early.
@18:50
you are correct radio has to be grounded through the chasis and not harness. on the floor of the hole for the radio, inthe back left corner, they is a metal tab bolted to the floor with 1 10mm screw/bolt. this tab is actuaoly a male terminal that you can connected a female terminal to for your ground. that is how and where the oem stereo grounds to the chasis.
3:00 "Always good to do a visual inspection when you take a wheel off" proceeds to hit suspension

You can use either or radio ports on the harness. It's just an extra in case one breaks or in some cases it can be used for a CB radio. Also the two extra wires on your radio harness are for dimmer when you turn on your lights at night.
I knew instantly that those small light bulbs will go on the rear plate
You should try glueing the 3rd brake light back together and then put some parts store tint over it and see if that disguises the damage.

Don't forget e85 !
And SP95 E10😂
I don't know if we can still find "real" sp95, hasn't it already been replaced by e10 ? Or maybe they replaced sp98 (which almost no one buys anymore) and kept sp95 and e10, I don't know, I don't use any of these anymore.
@@pbe6965 yes we have the old sp95 without ethanol in it... Not everywhere saddly.. I use 98 for my car.. I never test the 95e10

6:37 safe travels my friend 🫡
From what I've seen, gasoline is really good at getting plastidip off, I've seen plastidipped cars spill a little gasoline down the side and it just takes the dip right off pretty much
Quick tip: the fm antenna cable if it's working and connected,, can do the ground for testing purposes
YAAAAY THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS AREN’T GREEN!!
My ig message worked 😂😂

Looking forward to seeing what you fuys were unloading at the end of the video. Love the channel. 10k gang

So the only black wheels I have an exception for are the xxr black wheels and those connectors you bought bro I bought the same ones to do my front wire harness on my Accord came with over 200 pieces car looks good mike 😎 I dig it
The rookies have to appreciate this fs im always getting asked how to solder🙄🙄
Might as well strip the others and put some polish time in on those rims. Itll be factory, but unique.
20:02 “Super sans plomb seulement” is the french traduction of Premium unleaded fuel only !
On the fuel thinggy it says the same as above but in french. :)
For the radio don’t forget the remote wire as well
When I removed the spray paint from my wheels, I ended up using CitriStrip. Works OK, smells great and doesn't damage the original finish (at least in my application.) But boy was that a lot of scraping.
« Super Sans Plomb Seulement » is french for « Premium Unloaded Fuel Only » Premium = Super, Unleaded = Sans Plomb, Only = Seulement
From a fellow french Canadian, I say thank you for all the awesome content :)
Last time I installed a stereo and used butt connectors (yeah I know) and was getting weird behavior with one channel randomly cutting out so I went in and soldered all the power and ground connections, haven't had a problem since. I will definitely use Soldersticks in the future.
I always had good luck with the goof off for the plasti dip unfortunately they discontinued the spray can you have here in Canada but I had black on chrome wheels, let the goof off sit and hit it with a pressure washer all came right off
every time i have something not working, i always check the ground connection. 9 time out of 10 its the ground
i also wonder if thats a canadian car, if it has the french in the fuel door
Super sans plomb seulement, is the same message as in english above but in French! Build is coming along nicely! I love the updates.
There's thing called clutch pedal freeplay and some cars are stupid high freeplay my fc is almost 0 which is nuts but when it was over an inch out of spec it was annoying to drive when I adjusted it back it became easier and nicer to drive and manage
Mike use some flex tape clear to hold up the third brake light temporarily til you find a replacement.
26:25 transition goes hard. that was nice ngl
ive been seeing a lot more of these cars recently since youve been fixing yours
use the aircraft paint remover on all wheels, and do a new primer and spray job, like an oem silver?
The very first time I did a radio on a Nissan (after doing them on many different models of cars) I was so confused why it didn’t work untill I moved the ground off the harness to a bolt behind the radio and it worked perfectly. So weird that Nissan does that and most other manufacturers don’t.
Right! I've only encountered this issue on older Nissans!
