that shop burnout after the first start up was the most aussie things youve ever done

[@pikablue1834]

Wouldn’t recommend pulling one of those in your shop, too many gems to fuck up there

[@vprwave]

Slick one, yes. And well deserved. Maybe Ty does a wheelie in yours, if you ask nicely.

[@OozhieFckGucci]

Maybe he’s turning into sammit 😂

[@helplmchoking]

Wait is the shop skid not a requirement in the States? Sounds risky, it's the only way to guarantee your car will work when it's done

[@kevinwalsh4]

Check yesterday’s video about the washer on the crank. Please jimbo

[@ikel018]

Agreed!...when I saw the comment yesterday I was really hoping he did as well.

[@Itsme-sr8rp]

YES

[@mk2vrt]

LOL it got a toothed gear where that "washer" aka belt build used to sit so don't think that's the issue it's the new 20 year old belt for sure

[@fns58]

I know what washer you are talking about, but why should he check his own video again? What do you mean man?

[@kevinwalsh4]

The washer is still pushing the belt forward that little bit though

Well. I drop in every now and then, I don’t subscribe. I don’t like the way he builds cars, all slammed with that weird drift camber and poke setup on the front. Also the only driving he does is drifting which I’m not into.

People in New Zealand call a non turbo Rb20e and GTE , if you motor swap it we call it a GTS plus T or just a GTST from a guy that’s owned about 15 skylines I’d call it a GTST . Only thing you need to change is that dash cluster.

Donald is hilarious. Lacking reliability is true. Briefly drove a grey R33 gts-t my parents bought from my cousin. They got scammed by the way. Ran weird. Had a RB26 block with a RB25 head. Swapped the spark plugs and it ran great. The car would kick out and slide hard when pulling second gear. A great driving experience. Wish I could afford to buy a nice one.

When donny starts talking about the reliability of rbs ...... bro come to New Zealand on a Friday night and see how rbs are treated her and they'll still start the next day

[@raiNofchAosFPS]

for people saying its hydraulic lifters thats not the noise they make, its more of a ticking then a knock.. they either need to be adjusted or are warn. that knock is from the fly wheel or top end bearings.

[@tamaohochristensen2746]

Great work.. Some tips from RFBNZ.. Miss fires, always run iridium racing plug's, test coil packs as they break down quick from misfiring. Overheating- bleed coolant system on the steepest angle possible, or pressurize with coolant. Air always gets caught in the heater system. I recommend binning the factory manifold. And go with a quality Plazmaman(au) or Sinco(Nz) manifold. It improves the engines volumetric efficiency. You got the perfect intake for flow. But the exhaust manifold should be stainless steel if you are ocd like me. Then... what's with the tiny turbo? Insert a custom made MSE turbo from NZ... and you will have boost much sooner. Highly recommend the largest cams you can get from Kelford cams 280+(nz) And once you tune for e 85.. You can happily bang the 9k limiter every morning. We have been spoiled here in NZ. But we don't ever treat any RBs with any mechanical sympathy whatsoever... Keep up the great work. stance is on point... Hope 2021 is a great year for you all.

[@PappyBuilt]

I started replacing the idler stud and tensioner bolt every time I do a timing service. I've seen the bend, back out, and even break from stretching after being reused. They're so cheap, it's easy insurance.

[@BurningRubberNz]

Had a ceffy rb25det for like 2 years and had so meny random problems, put so much work n money in to it, I gave up got a 335i n56 it's been so good, much more power n reliability

[@marybuschlen1916]

Sounds way better than yesterday..like butter as Jimmy always says 😄 It rips!!

[@xXxXN33BXxXx]

After I built my m52 and put it in it was making terrible terrible sounds and just letting it run fixed it up and its the best motor I have had so far.

[@TacPrecision]

RB25s are only unreliable if you put too much boost through the standard Turbo or HG, which was very common back in the day - as standard they will run pretty much forever. Biggest issue with them really is exhaust manifold cracking and exhaust manifold bolts snapping, but those are usually people running them too hot to frequently after putting to much boost through the standard turbo...

[@Pinned]

I like how relatable your content is Jimmy. Just a good ol boy and his friends makin' memories. I just recently got my SR running. Having some issues with head noise / possibly bad VTC gear, but other then that really hyped to get on track again!

[@derkduis6641]

That breaking up is because of slightly over-inflating lifters. Just takes a little time, if everything else fails just get it nice and warm and then let it sit till it's cooled down. Usually fixes it

[@blackrogue86]

B-Hall looking like he’s ready for his Senior pictures. 👏🏾👏🏾

[@jarvis4675]

Run an extra ground on the igniter harness straight to the head. Misfires on an RB can be a headache. Head tick can be an issue with the timing cover where the can trigger bolts on.

"it's gonna snow tomorrow" It certainly did, I think it just stopped within the past hour. I'm gonna assume I drove by the shop a few times yesterday during the making of this vid, got a friend in the same complex that Moarfab's old spot was... wishing that anyone on that strip would have an opening sometime soon for shop space. Been trying since November maybe.

Hi Jimmy to u forget to put the washer behind the idler pulley and tensioner that why the belt is slipping off ..is gonna slip off again .

It doesn't matter how wide the base on the pulley is, if the shaft (bolt/stud) it rides on is bent, it's gonna be shifted out of alignment. The base isn't gonna magically flatten against the block when the nut holding it on and the axis it rides on is fucked off to pennsatucky.
