D21 "Progress Report" | Drift Truck Build - Update

[@Inner_Sanctum]

*-Decided to write up the Subaru STI pedal installation-* *The accelerator pedal installation:* - Subaru STI Accelerator Pedal P/N: *36024FA001* - I personally recommend that you go to the junkyard and grab an accelerator pedal assembly from any 90's or early 00's Subaru. It can be auto or manual, doesn't matter. It's a few dollars and you can reuse the spring and compression pin from it. Once you have the Subaru pedal assembly, you take out your D21 pedal assembly, put them side by side and locate where you need to drill the new hole to mount the new pedal. You'll need to cut off a little piece of metal that used to hold the D21 pedal; Dremel works great. Once you have it located, you just use a punch, then drill with whatever bit that snugly fits in the Subaru pin hole. Install everything. Viola, that's done! *If you want new hardware:* - Subaru Accelerator Pedal Return Spring P/N: *36037AA060* - Subaru Accelerator Pedal Compression Pin P/N: *051905322* *The clutch & brake pedal installation:* - Subaru STI Brake/Clutch Pedal P/N: *36024FA010* - *Note* The STI brake and clutch pedals are just pedal covers from the factory. - *Option 1* You just remove your old black plastic covers, trim the sides of your D21 steel pedals down just a hair [the width of a Sharpie mark on both sides works] and slide them on. You don't need to remove the pedal assembly at all. They will be on EXTREMELY tight, but you can also add a contact cement if you're worried about it, and they will never come off. Lol - *Option 2* You can get a clutch and brake pedal assembly from any 90's or early 00's Subaru, cut off the steel pedal pads and cut off the D21 steel pedal pads, then weld the Subaru pads to the D21 pedal assembly and slide on the STI pedal covers. REALLY overkill, and a TON of work, but an option. *Hopefully this will help someone out there. Cheers!*

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking to do to mine. It will definitely be my next mod.

[@Inner_Sanctum]

@@nissanrider1155 sure thing. Let me know how it goes.

[@nissanrider1155]

Just finished up my pedal install. Thank you again as I never would of thought of this. It was as easy as you described.

[@bawkray]

You honestly deserve alot more subs, but maby I'm biased, as a hardbody owner 😅 but seriously, your videos are awesome, to the point, and full of useful advice. I hope your channel blows up like it deserves.

[@jackrichards1863]

I'm a hardbody owner also. Maybe you are biased? I have to suspect this of myself & although the videos are useful they are also awesome as you wrote. So if you are biased you are also correct 😄

[@DinasGarage]

Great video brother! Love this update! Thanks for taking the time to talk to us! Keep up the great work!

[@michaelprince814]

I personally enjoy how you present yourself and the build. You seem like a genuinely nice fella. Even though I personally own a isuzu pup. I'm still able to take away little tid bits. So thank you.

[@Palo_lsx]

Thats wassup man ive been watching your videos since the other d21 and im glad youre blowing up. Ive been waiting on the 4 link video as i myself am building a little d21 more of a street style though not full racetruck yet and your welded diff and z32 videos sure helped as that was my reference for doing it on my truck

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Hell yeah! That makes me happy. Keep on truckin my dude.

[@Palo_lsx]

@@Inner_Sanctum yessir My LS d21 definately has some more bugs left in it but soon with your videos and a little elbow grease theyll be fixed up😂😂

[@BLKSTONE4WD]

Congrats on the progress, definitely magazine front cover quality you have going on. If this was 2005 I can totally see your build on the cover of 🔰Import Tuner mag or super street. Keep it up. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@JustAnotherHouseCat]

I love channels that have great explanations as to why its done a certain way

[@Hyperfiuze]

Wow niceee! Im in the process of RB25 Swap my 88 Hardbody and love seeing Hardbody projects! Im just sub and waiting for more updates! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@SOUTHSIDERUNNERS]

Some of the cleanest and most thought out work around. Wish we had half the discipline you do. Love the way everything is always so neat and organized and the information is always icing on the cake. Keep it up. Can’t wait to see this thing on the Texas streets!

[@Inner_Sanctum]

We're opening up a small drift truck shop here in San Antonio. You're welcome to drop by whenever.

[@joegamboa2983]

Wow gorgeous truck i got a d21 but nothing near this awesome work!!!!

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Thanks man!

[@jackrichards1863]

You are doing good and I like that you are doing a D21 which there is no easy path to follow and that your build is going to be as new when done. I had trouble contacting the manufacturer for those UCA's from your front suspension kit. There is a couple of features that I don't feel good about, I may just find my own engineer to build something fully custom or use another factory system to adapt.? It's real nice . Stay with it I hope!

[@TheGearhead28]

Bro thank you for the info in your videos, you keep it coming and i appretiate the knowledge you share in you vids. Thank you.

[@shawnmedley3219]

Great detail, learning as I go and you feed back along with step by step in invaluable ✌️👍

[@mattyboy9mr]

Im enjoying your build very much. I ran a PBM high mount on my SR20 hardbody i built a few years ago. Worked very well. I have it still if you need one.

[@Inner_Sanctum]

I was actually contemplating that PBM unit. I used to run them on my S-chassis cars and really enjoyed the response. Unfortunately, they don't really support more than about 320hp before they become inefficient. I believe PBM made that kit specifically for folks running the S15 T28 upgrade on their SRs to maximize power without losing that glorious response time.

[@FlakeGarage]

Great to see some more progress on the truck! I appreciate the details and explanations for sure. Maybe one day we'll go that deep with our Hardbody mods so is good to have somewhere to reference to. Don't worry about the haters, my channel is even smaller and we see it already as well with comments or thumbs down on videos lol We are in Htx so maybe one day we can see the truck in person and let us show it on our channel 👍

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Yeah, a collab would be fun for sure.

[@PDofLA]

LOL @ the ending. Just do what you do! Let em hate. The truck is looking EXCELLENT! I have NO DESIRE to do what your doing. But I love watching your little rocket come along. I bought a extra KA, Rear End, and stock transmission, I plan to Turbo, Rebuild trans, and weld the extra diff. Takes $$$ to do it all. #Covid. lol I would, also like to get rid of my steering slop, upgrade to rear (Single Caliper) disk breaks,,,, and let er RIP! MAYBE a Bee R rev limiter so I get some mad flames yo! HAHAHAHA! Good to see your doing well, and making progress.

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Thanks! I'm always happy to read your comments. Haha Single best thing I did on my last truck was poly bushings and fix steering slop. It was night and day. It was cheap, easy, and oh so satisfying.

[@isaacsims7640]

The more detail you can go into the better. You have inspired me and I will soon be starting a D21 drift truck build (albeit a cheaper/less involved variant of your build). Please go into a lot of detail on the suspension as thats the part im most concerned with. Love the formatting! Subscribed!

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Hey thanks! Great feedback. I will do my best to outline everything.

[@jonathanrojas4841]

Dude gotta say love the content and everything about this channel. I just picked up a hardbody and I’m getting so many ideas off your build. Screw the haters do what makes you happy. Keep it up man 💪🏽💯

[@JustAnotherHouseCat]

Might be a worthwhile idea to toss on a ati damper for your engine

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Maybe so.

[@smelvinvlogs]

Man really really love the attention to detail and all the information the you provide of and for the build. Keep doing these videos how you been doing them, a ton of good information In your videos man 💯

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Thank you! Will do.

[@brandonb6903]

Awesome man. Really liking the setup.

[@jonathan1932]

Thanks for the video I enjoyed it.

[@devonerickson2390]

I know I'll never do as much as you but if i ever can do a build like yours i can always use your videos as help cause i wanna 4 link my d21 one day and put at least a ka24det into it

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Make it happen! The D21 is where it's at! You don't need a lot to have an absolute blast. My little green D21 [Gus] before this was a budget build from hell and I've never had more fun in a truck. Haha

[@devonerickson2390]

Yeah this last summer i got all new shocks and replaced all my bushings to polyurethane and it made a big difference in handling

[@odelgupta]

Love and blessings from Trinidad and tobago

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Right on! Sending good vibes from Texas. Haha

[@johnj2496]

for the lower steering just weld in one from a jeep cherokee its got a slide extension and a small universal joint instead of trash rag joint

[@tobywest798]

Hey man, really like following your build. I'm doing up a D21 1989 down here in Aus, but having real trouble getting the small plastic connector from the speedo cable to the actual speedometer (know what I mean?) any advice on where to get one, other than a wreckers? Heard it's a common part failure down here. Cheers

[@Inner_Sanctum]

It has been a long while since I have messed with a cable driven speedo. However, I know the plastic bit you're talking about. It's the white cylindrical plastic piece that mates directly to the rear of the gauge right? I reckon you should be able to buy a new one online if yours is broken. Unfortunately you might have to buy the entire cable assembly, as the unit is all sold under one part number [Nissan OEM P/N: 25050-55G00] They look to be about $27-$55 USD for non-OEM units on my side of the pond. The Nissan OEM unit is about $70 USD. Here's a link to an OEM unit: www.ebay.com/itm/163945768930 Hope this helps dude. Cheers!

[@tobywest798]

@@Inner_Sanctum Thanks for your reply, exactly right about the part. Tiny crack in mine rendered it useless, and the heat shrink fix didn't work. Cheers for the link, I'll give it a shot!

[@luismontanez21]

Is that all custom made ? 😍😍

[@nielo2311]

Looking good my man what size is the brake master cylinder is it 1”

[@Inner_Sanctum]

It’s a BM57 17/16” (27mm).

[@chevyon22joe]

Curious where you guys are finding body panels for these trucks

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Local DEPO houses for aftermarket and junk yards for OEM. The Tong Yang Taiwan stuff actually fits really well, plus they use a solid gauge steel similar or better than OEM.

[@Otto_Factory]

Thing is coming together, good choice on the steering stuff to make sure you can troubleshoot if there is a problem.y ass would have thrown away the old stuff and cut all the tabs off 🤦🤦

[@Inner_Sanctum]

Haha

[@vvscrbo6138]

Dose the seat brackets come pre drilled for just the seats?

[@Inner_Sanctum]

The brackets come installed on the seats already. Do you mean the seat rails? If so, no, I had to drill them myself.
