Don't worry, I gave it to a friend who wanted to rebuild it, it did not get tossed in the trash

I'm glad to hear there is an excited child out there ready to ride a little JR50 like I was years ago. Its a memory she and her brothers will cherish all their life, I know I do.

I soak them in simple green heated to around 180 degrees, then I spray them with a power washer to clean off the cleaner and dry them with compressed air. Be careful as simple green "can" dissolve or discolor aluminum when doing this but so far I have only ever discolored (darkened) an aluminum engine block.

That is a bummer, such a useful tool for so cheap.

I actually moved to Tennessee a few months ago

I appreciate that a lot! There are times for sure where it would be a lot faster to do the work and not film it, but comments like this are a great reminder there are some people out there that appreciate it.

@@HardAngle Dang fantastic, got a new subscriber for sure!

@@xx-vk5ol love to hear it!

I'm guessing whatever it was stock brand new

Figured I would give it a try, why not. Good luck with Smog! Gotta keep these old Hardbodies on the road

Generator wpuld be the same its running the same power at the start as it would the emd maybe just runs a few extra minutes.

They call it a swing arm mod, I bought mine on Ebay from this seller. www.ebay.com/itm/373624493594?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ughzyp_7q_u&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=pvOiQn_wS42&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Go online you can get the size you need

I have to strap my machine to the building because it is too bendy to pop low profile tire beads, these machines definitely reflect their low price tag but with a few mods and some learning curve mine has served me well.

This tank ended up having a pin hole in the bottom, I got an upright 60 gallon tank and hydro tested it to 230 psi and all went well. Has been running flawlessly for 7 months now. I agree with hydrotesting your compressors every few years, takes an hour or so and could save your life.

Currently packing up the shop for my move at the end of this month. Might not be videos on this build for a few months but once the new place is all set up its right back to it, I'm excited to get this car completed and continue the journey of improving it over time.

@@HardAngle best of luck man, persistence with the move!

Thanks for the tip! System is still running with no leaks or issues, changed to a 60 gallon vertical once I noticed this smaller tank had pinholes in the bottom and I didn't want to risk my safety. But that tank was also used and restored just like this one.

@@HardAngledoes the generator work good with the 60 gallon tank ? If so how long does it run with a full gas tank in the generator

@@user-yq3rn5cq2o I've gotten over 12 hours of run time with a full tank, but the generator was also running my lights, the sandblaster vacuum, and a wood stove blower fan at the same time as the compressor.

@@HardAngle an that’s with your 60 gallon compressor runs good with it ?

@@user-yq3rn5cq2o Yes, that is with the 60 gallon tank, since it is the compressor body and electric motor just on a different tank it runs just like before, just takes a little longer to fill up now.

The one that came with this machine was very old and worn out so in this video it was not available, thank you for the part number, will make picking up a replacement a lot easier.

@HardAngle I like the spring silencer the best. It comes with four Springs, but I always add one more spring to it for the larger rotors. I've been in the brake lathe Sales and Repair business for over 20 years now. I happen to have one of those RTI machines at my shop that I took in on Trade in. I haven't really messed with it. Ammco 4000 is my number one seller

@@sinned96 For the price the guy was asking for this machine I couldn't say no. Seems like it is build very solid and it holds size every time which is everything I needed. I'm going to look into the spring silencer you mentioned.

Facebook Marketplace

That's a real bummer, both of my Spec Vs have been unbelievably reliable, except for the electronic pedal issues I caused myself on my 02, I guess when mass producing vehicles there will always be bad eggs.

You and me both, thats the end goal for this someday, but my budget only calls for DEs right now lol

I don't have it out anymore unfortunately but just from Google images they seem to have very different plugs, although the airbags plugs seem to all be the same

@@HardAngleinteresting I’ll have to look more in depth and see if I can find a z spring with the same plugs. since I haven’t had mine out the pictures I see look similar to me but I’ve never handled one in person.

@@HardAngle I was looking at an 04 350z clock spring specifically

@@HardAngle mounting is different but if it’s all the same stuff maybe I can make the z wheel work with the stock clock spring?

@@jdm2779 I'm not sure at all since I've never handled one in person either, but pretty much anything is possible if you try hard enough, I'm sure you could pull it off

Haven't done too much else to it just yet other than driving it to Tennessee and back during that snowstorm we had last week. Since its my daily it doesn't get as much love as it should but I have plans for it in the future once I get a new shop built since we are moving soon.

I'm not really familiar with the mounting points on the 1.8, I don't want to give you any information that might be incorrect. So far I've had to custom make almost every mount for the 2.0 swap.

@@HardAngle ok. Got it. I was able to find another 1.8 engine to avoid that. The only engine available locally was a 2.0 and did not want to commit to that without knowing

@@SteveFloresCoach Glad you were able to find a replacement, that will be much easier to install and get going.

I am using a SR20 ecu, engine harness and body harness from an 01 Sentra SE 2.0, getting ready to put the engine in now, so what else I'll need to adapt will be seen in the next video. Even I don't fully know just yet.

@@HardAngle yeah me too even sometimes on Nissan form miss lead information. Learning as i go.. Heard they say you have to change crossmember so you might need everything from a 2.0 SE Sentra. Waiting for the ur next videos. Shouldn’t be any problem dropping it in 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@sniperworkssniperbay3077 The crossmembers look to be the same but I kept the mounts that mount from the block to the cross member, hopefully that does the trick.

So nothing more was needed I’m looking at the engine to by now sr20DET ?

@@sniperworkssniperbay3077 After getting it bolted in the crossmembers were definitely different. I had to custom fit the rear engine mount and custom fabbed both mounts on the frame rails, not sure how different the SR20DET harness will be since it will be for a different car, pulsar or something similar, I would speculate the harness that comes with the engine won't work but the stock B15 SR harness and ecu with a flash may be able to handle it just fine, but since I haven't done it with a DET yet the internet will know more than me.

Link? This is the factory piece that I refinished.

I bought a whole car from Copart

Thank you! I'm going down the road of building what is in my eyes the ultimate Spec V. I might have clipped it out of the video but I want to keep the original cluster since its the coolest looking one in my opinion. Although there are plenty on Ebay to be had.

I hear ya it deff is by far i figured id ask i know it actually works since you were using it.. got scammed on ebay with 2 clusters so far lol kinda luck i got huh

Yes, for the rebuild of the long block I did, I believe I got them from partsology.com and the rest of the big parts like the alternator or the throttle body rebuild parts I got on rockauto

I'll tell you what, if I found a tire machine like that for $500 back then this video may have never happened, that sounds sweet! But you are correct. It takes up so little space and being able to pop off a tire and change it quick for less than $250 invested is very nice, even with the extra work.

I totally agree. Your setup works great!

I used Japan Car Direct, they made the process very easy.

@@HardAngle Cool beans, I'll check out their site thanks! How ya liking that bad boy so far?

@@SiCaRiI_DaGgEr I have only driven it down the street and into the garage, and haven't even gotten on boost unfortunately, was too excited to wrench on it, and registering it right now hasn't happened with all the holidays, but it will be registered in the coming weeks and I will make a video out and about with it. Also, thank you for watching and commenting frequently, I've noticed you never miss a video lol.

Thank you! Definitely sufficient for the level of work this engine is going to see (not much) probably could have gotten closer to a 45 degree cross hatch if I would have used a dingleberry hone so I could move up and down without worrying about the stones popping out of the bore.
