That exhaust mechanic guy is beyond professional. Pushing 550hp down the road. Not a sjngle smile or loss of self control.

[@tinystar3010]

He also said the most powerful GTR he's driven was 900hp, so 550 is nothing to him at that point. And he works on high hp builds on the regular. You naturally become desensitized to anything you're around on a regular basis.

[@BeratHoliday]

I've wondered about that one in the past on other videos of guys racing the Nürburgring and such. I think it was Micha Charoudin who said that it's more of a place of Zen and pure concentration. And I've also found myself being emotionless on the outside when you're driving on the limit - it's afterwards where I get giggly and laugh

I was literally thinking the same thing. Does OJ bench press the cars after hours?!?!

he wasnt yoked out when he first came on this channel, i know there was one episode where they talked about him becoming a gym monster. Might have been the no oil corolla video

Agreed brother nothing wrong with a legit vlog!👌💪🔥🤝

[@sh00t1ngst4r12]

The black vinyl above the exhausts are there for a purpose. It helps keep the bumper from discolouring and getting burnt from GTR flames

[@jspaulding4106]

Alex, you may want to consider this given your consult with OJ!

[@SNDP213]

[@RapidRedRider]

Yep, i have a carbon heat shield above my exhaust exit on my WRX, its held up pretty well too

And the front bumper “foil” is oem. It is notorious for aging poorly and can not be replaced, it can be covered but is not removable from the bumper. The front bumper will have to be replaced.

[@m4rvinmartian]

Bringing it back to life? I thought it was garage kept? And please don't SR20 it... that's for sheep. I did a FULL KA build and hit nearly 700hp, off 1.5 bar with a T05. That KA is LARGER and better.

​@@mmllmmll22spending 10,000 to get a 30 year old 4 cylinder is the reason people never finish their projects. Don't swap it, replace the bushings and upgrade the brakes.

[@89ludeawakening1]

The way he's removing the PPF isn't actually the safest and easiest way, but it's close. If you use the steamer and then use an air hose to blow under the wrap or PPF, it comes off much easier. The air blows it up like a balloon and there's very minimal pulling force on the paint.

[@starkyslp16]

Love OJ. Can't wait to see what his team does for the exhaust. GTR is looking much better after going back closer to stock.

[@trip0050]

I have an Infiniti q60 that’s been tuned by AMS. I drove it from Omaha to Chicago for the clout around their dyno tune. Best money I’ve ever spent on a car. I’ve been watching this channel for a few years and seeing it cut very close to “home” in my real life means a lot. Keep it up Alex. You’re moving mountains.

[@01gtbdaily30]

Up here in Canada we can import these direct from Japan from the 2008 and 2009 model years under our 15 year import law. It doesn’t help much but we can pay $10k less than buying one locally. The best part is many of them come with aftermarket parts and accessories only available in Japan.

I have a ‘72 240Z and ’73 914, had the Z since ‘81 and drove it as a family car (child seat strapped on the deck between the seats!) then had a second child and she (Z) fell into disrepair.😢 The 914 has a great body, but needs restoration, but I only paid $185.00 for her. Then my son had brain surgery 20 years ago, and I’ve been in a battle with after effects of cancer since 1979… Your videos are helping us get through the fight to GET GOING! Thank you!!!

Thanks Alex, so much appreciation for the content that helps the viewer with DIY information. I refer back to so many of your videos for leather repairs, paint correction, not to mention the trouble shooting for mechanical issues.

When you rotate them they get loose and you have to tighten them with the center screw.
