From my experience as a mechanic specializing in GTR's and Nissans of all ranges. If you can help it, you really really shouldn't mix gear box casings. What can happen if you do is it can change the pressure in the inner door and.....
I just want to say that Mat - you should know the cars are great but it's you, your dad and all the others that make the channel a must watch. Great job.
UK only broke my heart! I LOVE these cars and I never really understood how gorgeous a British racing green GTR could be till seeing this one! Hopefully one day it can be abroad and it'll be for another GTR. BTW the best part of these videos are seeing the bond between Mat and his father. I've lost my dad 4 years ago to cancer and I live vicariously through these two when we get to see the banter between them both. Plus the laughing is quite infectious! 😊 Fairplay to you all and good luck to everyone that enters.
Mat!! 17 year tech here, again! Lol. that info regarding crash sensors working on air pressure is true, but only applies to vehicles that have a regulator assembly bolted onto the inner door AND has a seal around the entire surface that mates to the door. As the door caves in during a crash, the sensor picks up the spike in air pressure and can deploy the airbag sooner than an acceleration based crash sensor. Doors that dont have a seal between the regulator assembly and the door itself wont be using air pressure based sensors.
In my 10 years as a wireless engineer, I would advise that you should never catch fluids in a bucket as the air pressure change in the bucket can set off the crash sensors. Something to keep in mind
This is just great viewing. I’m an ex RAF aircraft technician, now in my 70’s, but I wouldn’t take on the work that Matt and his Dad does. So much respect.
@LoneWolfLifeStyle2 That’s your take away from the comment? Clearly you are the one who’s “think” and pretty sure his name is Matthew but Ok enjoy your little life
I remember the zip tie trick Mat did. Didn’t see the guys comment, but he’s partially right, maybe not on this car, but on some BMWs they have a pressure sensor in the door. They worked by measuring an millisecond pressure difference and basically primed the airbag module to fire off airbags. The system works in the smallest fraction of time so it’s pretty crazy to imagine it working, but we had to make sure the hard plastic vapor barriers were sealed correctly.
@@Mike90Xj6 And other brands too.. The cars still have a hard mounted side impact sensor, but also now have a pressure sensor in the door to help to determine the severity of the impact, which changes the deployment rate of the side airbags to provide maximum protection.
@@trevoraston2537yes I agree. I just explain it badly. Vw group use it, but working at Porsche I know for fact that there is pressure sensor in the doors and shock sensor around the car. I like Mat video but sometimes he just need too inform himself before making fun of people.
Came for the GT-R, but really came for the banter. Love this channel. Props to Tony for making me smile and laugh like a small child locked in a toyshop. Protect this man at all times. MOOOOO! 🐄
I hate the way people can't just celebrate people's success when someone buys there dream car instead they think it must be his parents money. When they don't even know that person. Good on ya mat for buying the lambo. Enjoy it.
@@TheJaoMing Irs about the passion for fixing cars, not really about the money. If you really think about it, Mat Armstrong can now afford to buy most supercars from the dealer. He bought a donor Rolls Royce and flies First Class. That's definitely worth very good cars.
His career is rebuilding cars. Besides making money off the videos, he ends up being profitable on the car projects after completion. I dont understand where these comments are coming from, hes earned all that he has.
@@mogadimetsosanele2285 The post is meant for Mat the camera guy. It also does not shine a very positive light on their rebuilds if you buy a new lambo istead of rebuilding one for yourself also. Just a waste of funds, there are many many sub 100k cars that he could have before that Hurracan.
@@TheJaoMing why should his personal life have anything to do with M.A.'s channel content? i bet the camera man works hard and earns his money, and has every right to spend it as he wishes. as a petrolhead myself, i fully support him splurging on a dream car. kudos
I just have to say, you and your father have such a great relationship. It reminds me of me and my dad. He got me into rebuilding cars, when I was in high school. My dad still, to this day, buys and rebuilds cars, even though, he’s been retired for 4 years. You and your dad have the same interaction when working on cars, that me and my dad have today. At 73, my dad is, so much like yours. He may not be able to lift as much as he can, but he still has all the knowledge to help me.
I had the opposite tuff love relationship with my dad , positive and negative over years , but I genuinely love seeing the working relationship you have with your dad , I guess he was very supportive throughout your bmx career too ,
100% The raw content, the hilarity that ensues (remembering back to when they were all whispering and pissing their pants laughing), the great car selections. The good, the bad, the ugly. It’s the realest.
Man, how I wish I lived in the UK to enter the competition, the nissan gtr r35 is my absolute dream car, when I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a nissan gtr owner gave me the opportunity to ride in his Gtr and I loved it, one day I'm gonna buy one and use it for fundraising and cancer awareness, and I hope I get to give somebody else the same experience that I had, mark my words, I'm not leaving this world before I buy a Gtr. Keep up the good work, buddy. I absolutely love watching your videos.❤
I have grown up as a carguy my whole life and one of the best things i've experienced in life is working on cars with my dad , Mat you are very lucky to have your dad around you all the time with a smile on his face , it was sad to see this nissan go but i wish you all the best with that project buddy :)
When Matt explained about not being able to buy gearbox parts from Nissan, this is what angers me about the way companies operate in the modern world, while every one of them demands to us "we need to save the planet". It tell us climate change and net zero is complete nonsense! Who in their right mind is gonna pay £30k or whatever stupid price for a new gearbox or indeed EV battery?! You might as well scrap the car, like Matt said, it's just a throw away item at that point! How is that "saving the planet" when items that are perfectly repairable are thrown way? It's not is it! All because greedy companies want to sell you sealed units or completely new items - which means more raw resources mined. Nissan could easily sell a single gearbox part for a few hundred quid, and keep cars on the road for longer, actually saving the planet. This sort of behaviour by car manufacturers is why I'm done buying new cars.
@LoneWolfLifeStyle2 🤣 Are you one of the 🤡🤡 that cries the bolts aren't done up in the right order? Sit down kiddo, one T two T's, his name is still Mat, who gives a rats arse and my point is still valid. Jeez, the internet gets more toxic by the day, no wonder the world is screwed when people are calling others bellends coz you used too many Ts!!
@@impy1980 Ignore likes of lonewolf, they simply aren't worth your time. With regards to your main comment though, I totally agree with your sentiment regarding how companies operate like this, however - in this case whilst I was watching the video I said to myself "now I understand why they don't sell it separate" and it's because of the level of technical expertise required to do this change, it is beyond your average Nissan garage to a "warrantable" level of QC. I know that Mat/Matt (who gives a f?) managed it and I'm sure it will be fine...but to have that guaranteed level of retail QC and guaranteed longevity you'd need to pay a lot more attention to finer details, including cleanliness, interference fit, etc, etc. IMO that's why they don't sell it as a part.
To be fair Nissan said from the very beginning that each transmission was matched to itself and you can’t part them together. And though people have, Nissan was building them and calibrating them as one precise unit.
Well no one buying these cars cares a great deal about saving the planet. You know what the adage for the kind of cars Mat has on this channel : if you have to ask how much they cost to run then you can't afford one (although you're paying for Mat to live in a big house and drive fast cars) In the main too the way the average owner of these cars drives the car is a lot of the reason they end up replacing parts or the whole car. Mat's channel is, after all premised on crashed cars - and they've often barely got back from the dealer before running into a lamppost with it. We've never replaced an engine or gearbox. Our current car is a 57 plate and hasn't had anything other than typical servicing stuff oil / filter / tyres at its yearly MoT service, and I think we did the cambelt at 10 years which was the most expensive thing. That's because we're pootling around in it to Tesco and back not redlining it, wheel spinning it, doing donuts or crashing it into a ditch.
From the Netherlands here. Man i would have loved to enter the competition. Picking it up in the UK for a epic roadtrip would be so awesome. Hopefully you'll manage to do the competitions internationally in the future!
Continue to do great work. Your cars are different which makes them stand out for the norm. Too many cars are to normal, nice to see you go a different direction and results are fantastic. I am 62.
10:00 also mat you need to remember to change the blinker fluid from summer to winter one because if it freezes it will expand and put pressure inside the headlight and it will explode
That's not why. If you have summer blinker fluid in during the winter then your lights will be the wrong color. Police will ticket you, no one wants to pay the man. Not sure where you heard that business about the lights exploding. Sounds rubbish.
Hard not to root for this dude. What a cool life, fart-arsing about with super cars and hanging out with his old geezer. And they never seem to lose their positivity, even when they stack a Lamborghini that they’ve only just finished repairing.
@@alimansour3728 but when he bought it originally it was perfect undamaged, think it’s the only car like that he has/ had. Until crashing it he had only modified it not had to repair it
Matt your work is inspirational I'm in my 40s and do bits and pieces on mine and my wife's car but nothing like what you, your dad and the rest of the crew do, the GTR has been great for the channel, most people would want one as they're forever car absolutely timeless but not all of us can afford one and the repair costs etc so giving this away will be a dream come true for someone, my wife has always wanted one but asking price is a bit steep for us. Keep up the good work your absolutely smashing it
Hey Matt, thanks for the content, I really enjoy watching. I started out with a R56 JCW Mini engine rebuild as a winter project, then moved onto a restoration of a flood damaged 964, now I’ve picked up a G80 M3 with the same tail end damage as your rebuild. Sure beats watching TV in the evenings. I’m living in the US now, so you have to love th copart “opportunities “ here!! Keep up the great work !
He does have one minus the Rashford Rolls and GTR. Sad to see that car go. It’s quick, “reasonably affordable” (Still a lot of money) go anywhere daily driver in the fleet.
His dad is the life of the party , always jolly!! And that's how you provide motivation optimism the key ingredient fuel needed in a working atmosphere!! salute to his dad a true legend 👋👋👍😁💪😉
The jokes and laughter between you two is heartwarming. It’s not the first time you have heard this and it won’t be the last, it maybe that I’m 2 pints in but I’m pretty sure Tony and Ted could of started a bowling league. A tip of the glass and cheers to you both. 1936 to 2014 cheers to you both
The air pressure guy is probably the same guy that posted on another channel. They said police radar uses the vehicles RPMs to determine the vehicles speed.
@@brandonbishop5400 LOL How would knowing what gear the vehicle is in make any difference? A Prius in 4th gear at 3000 rpms, if they can get the high, isn't the same as Lamborghini Aventador in the same gear and rpms.
Can someone from GB explain why so many brits, especially older gen, like Mat said, dislike British racing green? I love that colour, have to have it on a sports car one day.
I have to tell you, your videos are absolutely great! I really love your dad and the relationship you two have. I have literally watched every one I have found from start to finish. You are really good at this.
When you drop subframes onto benches or whatever, I’ve found it helps to get some string and tie it to the ends of the studs on the chassis so when it hangs down you’ve got a visual reference to where the subframe needs to be.
Came to watch the fireworks at MP and saw a light on in your unit, managed to avoid the temptation to come and be a fanboy and say hi, but still proud of what you do.
Mat the work you and your dad has done should put professionals to shame really... I've only been subscribed to your channel a few months ago... I constantly check for new uploads, even though my notifications are on... You're an inspiration to many hopeful car enthusiasts like myself, and you've actually answered so many unasked questions i had when i tried DIY repairs... I'm from South Africa, and i would love to enter your competition...🎉😅😂😊
Mat, when you put that bolt in on the undertray, you didnt put it in tight enough so basically its going to affect the aerodynamics of the engine and flood the gearbox with coolant.
I started racing RZ350 in the late 80's;.... we did all our own maint. on those... I could never imagine doing this on cars and havig income from the content.... of course that was before the internet...,.. so happy for you matt, and your "family' love the content and seeing this grow... lost a friend recently who loved this content and he lives on as we and my friend will contiune to build...
Never in a million years would I say BRG on a GTR would look mint. But it actually looks awesome as a colour. The oldest memory of a car I have is a British Racing Green Mini that had a hole in the floor and my uncle could steal yes steal with a screwdriver 😂
NO!!!! UK only!!!, I am from Mexico, but live in Netherlands, I would love to participate in this event.... Man!!! thanks for all the content you create, is awesome!!! keep that nice work.
Had one and had the same issue, is very expensive to fix and it needs to be professionally fixed… no worries, it will raffle it for £700 k and all good… good luck to the new owner😅😅😅😅
Other people from other country should have access to that too, I am from Germany and i check every video of yours, and not just that I think you are really a great person. 👊🏽👍🏽
I'm sat here with a grin permanently on my face watching this I feel like I'm there and one of the boys.....I love Matt's main channel but I'm starting to think the second channel is my favourite!
at 24:35... That is perfection.... the knowing look is the best - no youtube fakery - i know that look.... brilliant - it is what makes the MA just a bit special
Just read a few comments regarding pressure sensors and air bag sensors. pmsl. not laughed out loud for so long. Matt u and ur guys are legends. keep it up ,
I mooed the other day after opening some jam. Now, every time I open the fridge and see the jam, I remember what day I opened it. Mooing has changed my life !!!!
I have entered the competition Matt. I really hope I win it, my dream car. From buying a 1 series wind deflectors from you to hopefully having a GTR. Micky Singh 🤞🤞🤞
"Wheel Off" - Tony 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣That laughter is very contagious. Mat - thanks once again for your continuous inspiration, your videos have gone beyond entertainment.
I started watching your channel from 2022 at the end of the year, and I found myself no bored for watching your video, because you always bringing new car to come more on knowledge, and of course i did learn many thing from your video. So cool with every episode but specially with roll royce and ferrari. Hope to see you visit Asia One day with a car.
Hi Matt I have a suggestion for a new project. How about buying an older classic car removing all the old components including the engine and completely redesigning it with all modern features ie Sat Nav, air con, new carbs, more powerful engine
With regards the tie wrap query in the doors and crash sensors, I think they are referring to the differential pressure sensor. The air in the door will be compressed very quickly with a side impact creating a positive pressure compared to the surrounding air (regardless of altitude, windows open etc), a bit like squeezing an accordion. Even if completely sealed, the pressure will still increase regardless. If (and I don't fully know) it relies on a 'leak rate' ie when the air escapes, then again, I strongly doubt you blocking up a few tiny holes will have any effect. Air will most certainly escape from any other hole in the door (drain holes for instance). Great videos as usual and I'm looking forward to winning the GTR 😊😊
Ohhh man....i was watching an applying at the same time and then i heard "UK only"... stopped...cried for 5min, then went to give thumbs up! Waiting for that international comp...
Favourite channel on TH-cam by far - love the regular uploads and love that you're always pushing the boundaries - 2 tickets bought for the GTR draw - fingers crossed! 😁
Mat your killing it mate honestly probably have more knowledge then most these keyboard mechanics 😂 fully qualified panel beaters and spray painter and can honestly say youd probably show up the the shop i work at 😂
I had to have a look and even I was surprised. Yes, car crash sensors in doors work on air pressure to detect side impacts: How they work Side impact sensors in car doors measure the pressure changes that occur inside the door when the car is hit from the side. These sensors are located in the door cavity and continuously measure atmospheric pressure. When the door is crushed, the air pressure inside the door increases sharply.
the way a wetsuit works is it traps a thin layer of water inside it and your body temperature warms it up so you don't feel the cold so much. certified rescue diver here. did all of my training in Italy in the Med through PADI.
From my experience as a mechanic specializing in GTR's and Nissans of all ranges. If you can help it, you really really shouldn't mix gear box casings. What can happen if you do is it can change the pressure in the inner door and.....
Mat needs to see this

Great job Matt
Hey Matt, thanks for the content, I really enjoy watching. I started out with a R56 JCW Mini engine rebuild as a winter project, then moved onto a restoration of a flood damaged 964, now I’ve picked up a G80 M3 with the same tail end damage as your rebuild. Sure beats watching TV in the evenings. I’m living in the US now, so you have to love th copart “opportunities “ here!! Keep up the great work !
Mat should do a full car collection video pls
I think he has one allready
Definitely need one for 2024!
He does have one minus the Rashford Rolls and GTR. Sad to see that car go. It’s quick, “reasonably affordable” (Still a lot of money) go anywhere daily driver in the fleet.
His dad is the life of the party , always jolly!! And that's how you provide motivation optimism the key ingredient fuel needed in a working atmosphere!! salute to his dad a true legend 👋👋👍😁💪😉
I'm 59 and love BRG, I always wanted a 1275 mini in BRG back in the day
to boldly go where Nissan won't, great vid Mat!
The jokes and laughter between you two is heartwarming. It’s not the first time you have heard this and it won’t be the last, it maybe that I’m 2 pints in but I’m pretty sure Tony and Ted could of started a bowling league. A tip of the glass and cheers to you both. 1936 to 2014 cheers to you both
The air pressure guy is probably the same guy that posted on another channel. They said police radar uses the vehicles RPMs to determine the vehicles speed.
"Do you know why i pulled you over today? You did 5000RPM in a 2500RPM zone".
them wireless rpms 🤣
@@TheGamingNorwegian lmao
They are just having a laugh, but everyone took it seriously aha
@@brandonbishop5400 LOL How would knowing what gear the vehicle is in make any difference? A Prius in 4th gear at 3000 rpms, if they can get the high, isn't the same as Lamborghini Aventador in the same gear and rpms.
British racing green is beautiful plus it matches your Lamborghini. Love your videos man, keep it up and stay safe.
Pretty sure this was a test run for that colour as it was painted and would have been an exspensive mistake if not liked.
Can someone from GB explain why so many brits, especially older gen, like Mat said, dislike British racing green? I love that colour, have to have it on a sports car one day.
I have to tell you, your videos are absolutely great! I really love your dad and the relationship you two have. I have literally watched every one I have found from start to finish. You are really good at this.
When you drop subframes onto benches or whatever, I’ve found it helps to get some string and tie it to the ends of the studs on the chassis so when it hangs down you’ve got a visual reference to where the subframe needs to be.
Came to watch the fireworks at MP and saw a light on in your unit, managed to avoid the temptation to come and be a fanboy and say hi, but still proud of what you do.
We all want at least 2 videos per week!!!! 🚨🚨😎
Absolutely!!!
🎉🎉
yeah but quality over quantity
More is always better
The guy still needs to live his life.
had a 32 and a 33 gtr.. loved them.. now just a dream.
You three are pure comedy! Love it!
Mat the work you and your dad has done should put professionals to shame really... I've only been subscribed to your channel a few months ago... I constantly check for new uploads, even though my notifications are on... You're an inspiration to many hopeful car enthusiasts like myself, and you've actually answered so many unasked questions i had when i tried DIY repairs... I'm from South Africa, and i would love to enter your competition...🎉😅😂😊
You guys make it look so simple, always enjoy watching 👌🏻 entry purchased and now 6 days of praying to the car gods 🙏
I see dad on your videos, I upvote and watch until the end! Tell your dad some random dude said hi from Nicaragua!
26:03 , it was so heavy mat farted , this is some genuine MK2 content right here 🤣
😂😂
😂😂😂
Mat, when you put that bolt in on the undertray, you didnt put it in tight enough so basically its going to affect the aerodynamics of the engine and flood the gearbox with coolant.
For those who can't tell this is sarcasm, this is sarcasm... refer to 10 minutes in the video.
Yes, this is true. Mat needs to see this.
Could also make the side airbags blow due to pressure drop in the rear indicator lens. 🎉
wow, people think this makes sense hahaha
Good on the UK but we need a US COMP!
I started racing RZ350 in the late 80's;.... we did all our own maint. on those... I could never imagine doing this on cars and havig income from the content.... of course that was before the internet...,.. so happy for you matt, and your "family' love the content and seeing this grow... lost a friend recently who loved this content and he lives on as we and my friend will contiune to build...
The cow was dying jokes was classic, as for Mat's facial expression 🤣
big fan from South Africa n gtr 😍is fav car
Moment I saw the notification went right to it . I'm your biggest fan. All the way from south Africa.
All the best for the GTR sale Mat.
Ticket purchased.
Glad to help finance your future videos which everyone enjoys 👍🏼
So few dads look at their kids the way Tony does at you. Can tell he’s buzzing for you. Class!
Absolutely love these vids need more of them i need those wheels from your last main channel vid🤣 keep up the hard work it is shown in your work 👍👍
Never in a million years would I say BRG on a GTR would look mint. But it actually looks awesome as a colour.
The oldest memory of a car I have is a British Racing Green Mini that had a hole in the floor and my uncle could steal yes steal with a screwdriver 😂
Regards from Turkey. I have been watching your videos for years now. Just wanted to thank you for the content you have created.
NO!!!! UK only!!!, I am from Mexico, but live in Netherlands, I would love to participate in this event.... Man!!! thanks for all the content you create, is awesome!!! keep that nice work.
I maybe wrong but it sounded like it was slipping twice at high RPM at 38:34 and 38:48 at around 6000rpm sounded like a slip
Thought so too, deff sounds like slipping still
Yep, noticed the same. Most definitely still slipping.
It still slips u can hear it
Notice its Raining , it was wheel spinning
Had one and had the same issue, is very expensive to fix and it needs to be professionally fixed… no worries, it will raffle it for £700 k and all good… good luck to the new owner😅😅😅😅
Toney’s laugh at 09:06 sounds like a witch…I love him 😂
38:30 it's still slipping when going to 4th
Computer says no
It would be slipping in all gears then. 2/4/6.
Are you the air pressure guy?
@@stefanpetrov8 I think what ur hearing is just him letting go of the gas
For sure still slipping. 38:48 you hear it clearly.
Other people from other country should have access to that too,
I am from Germany and i check every video of yours, and not just that I think you are really a great person.
👊🏽👍🏽
Absolute dream car! Love the GTR! Love your channel. Would love to have a day at the garage looking round learning like you have!
20:07 Breaking DAD
lol came to make this comment you beat me lol - "i am the one that laughs"
Was almost a minute late...scared me
11:24 I should call her
You should.
😂😂😂😂😂🫡
I'm sat here with a grin permanently on my face watching this I feel like I'm there and one of the boys.....I love Matt's main channel but I'm starting to think the second channel is my favourite!
Wish we could enter this competition in the States. Easily one of my fav cars and a stellar TH-cam channel. Love ya Matt and team!
Never clicked this fast😂
Arrived within a minute to watch 😂😂😂😂
Lamborghini green. 🤣
Man, i think it's funny that yall use Mississippi to count seconds, too. Im actually from the state of Mississippi in the USA. Keep up the great work.
This guy is living the dream. Doing something he loves, and making a living from it. Fair play to him. 👍
South Africa 🇿🇦
at 24:35... That is perfection.... the knowing look is the best - no youtube fakery - i know that look.... brilliant - it is what makes the MA just a bit special
Just read a few comments regarding pressure sensors and air bag sensors. pmsl. not laughed out loud for so long. Matt u and ur guys are legends. keep it up ,
I mooed the other day after opening some jam. Now, every time I open the fridge and see the jam, I remember what day I opened it.
Mooing has changed my life !!!!
I love your vids. I watch from the US weekly!! What an awesome experience for someone this close to Xmas
Tony is an absolute legend, he definitely adds good laughs to vids ☺️
Great catch up. You blokes are having too much fun making these clips. Great work keep them coming.
We would love these competitions to be for us in Australia too! Would definitely enter all your comps! Thx Matt for making that happen soon! Phil
aww i love it how you all work together and have a laugh at the same time love these videos
I have entered the competition Matt. I really hope I win it, my dream car. From buying a 1 series wind deflectors from you to hopefully having a GTR. Micky Singh 🤞🤞🤞
"Wheel Off" - Tony
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣That laughter is very contagious.
Mat - thanks once again for your continuous inspiration, your videos have gone beyond entertainment.
I started watching your channel from 2022 at the end of the year, and I found myself no bored for watching your video, because you always bringing new car to come more on knowledge, and of course i did learn many thing from your video. So cool with every episode but specially with roll royce and ferrari.
Hope to see you visit Asia One day with a car.
Love the new sass when detailing the competition info :)
Mat, great to see you have a great relationship with your Dad! Keep the great videos coming.
Hi Matt I have a suggestion for a new project. How about buying an older classic car removing all the old components including the engine and completely redesigning it with all modern features ie Sat Nav, air con, new carbs, more powerful engine
With regards the tie wrap query in the doors and crash sensors, I think they are referring to the differential pressure sensor. The air in the door will be compressed very quickly with a side impact creating a positive pressure compared to the surrounding air (regardless of altitude, windows open etc), a bit like squeezing an accordion.
Even if completely sealed, the pressure will still increase regardless. If (and I don't fully know) it relies on a 'leak rate' ie when the air escapes, then again, I strongly doubt you blocking up a few tiny holes will have any effect. Air will most certainly escape from any other hole in the door (drain holes for instance).
Great videos as usual and I'm looking forward to winning the GTR 😊😊
I don't know much about car engines and cars I'm still learning thanks Mat 🔥🔥
Ohhh man....i was watching an applying at the same time and then i heard "UK only"... stopped...cried for 5min, then went to give thumbs up! Waiting for that international comp...
Watching from Jamaica! Absolutely love your videos! A bit of a bummer the competition isn’t international but nonetheless, keep banging on!
Awesome car by AWESOME PEOPLE!!!! I can't wait for your competitions to be WORLD WIDE!!!! Much love from South Africa!!
Favourite channel on TH-cam by far - love the regular uploads and love that you're always pushing the boundaries - 2 tickets bought for the GTR draw - fingers crossed! 😁
Yes Mat! I've commented about putting this up for a raffle before, and you've listened to the people! 😂. I can't wait to win this beauty.
Mat your killing it mate honestly probably have more knowledge then most these keyboard mechanics 😂 fully qualified panel beaters and spray painter and can honestly say youd probably show up the the shop i work at 😂
I had to have a look and even I was surprised.
Yes, car crash sensors in doors work on air pressure to detect side impacts:
How they work
Side impact sensors in car doors measure the pressure changes that occur inside the door when the car is hit from the side. These sensors are located in the door cavity and continuously measure atmospheric pressure. When the door is crushed, the air pressure inside the door increases sharply.
the way a wetsuit works is it traps a thin layer of water inside it and your body temperature warms it up so you don't feel the cold so much. certified rescue diver here. did all of my training in Italy in the Med through PADI.
BIG UP MATT what a guy and his dad and all the others keep up with the great work lad ❤
