Turbo Yoda meets rotor Yoda for the win

[@someyoungguy6990]

[@numinous4789]

I've never seen Alan smile so much, haha.

[@someyoungguy6990]

[@someyoungguy6990]

[@shodan]

[@someyoungguy6990]

PMSL funny as guys!!!

[@HBSclick]

OOH GUUUUMON LOL

[@kman634]

Chea bru ur pretty neat aye na

[@tahirsaid6993]

Never seen Al smile so much and look so happy at the sound of that beautiful revving rotary.

[@jamesblanton9364]

That was epic, NZ for the win... Rotary Kings ! You guys certainly put huge grins on Al and Woody's chins.

[@TheRealMrCods]

Woody, you stiffed us again with no after credits scene Mate, No fair 😉

[@theskidfactory]

Apologies MrCods, I will do better.

[@TheRealMrCods]

@@theskidfactory I'm watching you Mate 🤣🤣🤣

[@DiscoFang]

Yeah but how could you top that sound.

[@pangaute]

I always thought 'wop wops' was kiwi for out in the sticks, apparently it's the sound coming from all of their garages 👍

[@Synthetic-Chicken]

FINALLY someone checking out New Zealand JDM GOODIES! I bet you werent disappointed!

[@dnmtorp]

Thanks for this guys. It brought back a lot of memories for me. In the 80's I had 2 RX 3's. I had a 73 that I blew the motor in and then found a smashed 74 with a good motor and switched it to the 73. Trouble was Mazda had changed motors and wireing between the 73 and 74. Cheers from Canada.

[@cheif10thumbs]

Howdy from Gleneden Beach Oregon USA! Via Gisbourne NZ (1972)

[@rualert1602]

This brings back memories. Back in the early '70s a friend let me use his two rotor Mazda wagon to go visit my parents. I drove 100 miles and it only took 10 gallons of gas.

[@tenmillionvolts]

Worth it! A friend of mine had a worked RX7 (yep, in NZ) that he put up against every car that would take him on. Never beaten. Passed eveything but gas stations :-) Snapped the speedo needle from hitting the end stopper so often (true story). Never blew the motor (built right). Got stolen. Trailered out from under his window at night, real professionals. We choke up thinking about it. Loved that car.

[@brettskaley7473]

"I feel like a kid hearing a CR80 for the first time" right in the feels Al

[@mrAudisubaru]

The sound is something special really.

[@Jimmyk63]

Thank you for your insight and video 🙂❤👍

[@lisaharry6806]

You're most welcome

[@Dayforitaus]

“These things are rubbish, no wonder they don’t sell any” hahaha so good!

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Rotaries usually aren't working in New Zealand either. ;-)

[@HotForgeChaos]

Accurate

[@jonathanwright5550]

Had mine for nearly a year. 12a standard port. Got stollen before it broke down :/

[@Beer_Dad1975]

I was just being an a-hole :-)

[@thereal2scummy636]

Dunno bout that definitely lots hiding in sheds everywhere, but still see heaps grenade ports around.

[@tx5brent]

"I think you can neutral drop it, so that will be fine" - spoken with full intention of following through too

[@Ricky-nq7lu]

Hey Guy's we are feeling for you all over in Aussie with the firers an if there's anything we kiwi's can do please shout out. That being clothing drives or whatever as i know there will be a few kiwi's willing to help out where ever they can. Both country;s give each other shit but we have each other's back's.

[@trentmarlowe7655]

ANZAC brothers. Live together, die together.

[@Ricky-nq7lu]

@@trentmarlowe7655 So true Brother.

[@nicbrownable]

Toothless If you want to help, donate cash. Sorting and distributing physical items is a huge logistical issue that takes resources away from relief efforts. Halls in small towns are so full with donations that they can’t use the building for services and accomodation.

[@helplmchoking]

100%. We're siblings, we fight and argue and make fun of each other but we still got each others backs.

[@someyoungguy6990]

Thanks bro, its always good to know when the shit hits the fan we will always have each others backs. I can not imaging a harder job, looking into the open gates of hell and then running head first at it for a all in fight to the death. Fire fighters real life super heroes!!!

[@tenmillionvolts]

Cleetus and Cooper need to bring the Mystery machine van here to NZ for a wicked 4 rotor conversion. Hell yeah brother!

[@alexbrown1995]

That's why I want to move to NZ. Great car scene, much more relaxed law enforcement and the engineering is out of this world......

[@danieltjr5649]

That RX3 sounded wicked and the R100 and the RX2 heavenly cars ☺☺☺ thank you guys keep up the great work.

[@gyromaniac01]

Cheers for hosting a meet with such a busy schedule guys. Good to see you had a great time in little old NZ

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

Absolute dream cars. You guys have the best job ever.

[@fredericrike5974]

Loved it! From the Air New Zealand flight to the parking lot! Hope you get to travel more! Several of my old "net forum buddies are from there abouts. These Kiwis , they do some right work, yeah? FWIW, Al, I've truly enjoyed watching you "not do electrical"; you have the demeanor of a man properly fearful that the factory smoke will get out! Woody- you just keep us up to speed on what's interesting to you guys and the popcorn gallery will fill itself. Not much for rotaries- the rest of my car habit was bad enough!

[@cyclonicleo]

My Kiwi brethren love their rotaries....why, cos they're awesome as. Love that joint, NZ has got it right.

[@fzswede9533]

That RX2 is insanely clean,proper !👌🏻

[@s3tTz]

Been looking forward to this ep for ages. Did not disappoint! 👌

[@CorruptInfinityOfficial]

Dope ass content y’all, ain’t enough real rotary content like this on KZbin, there’s a handful of real good ones but most people are just hopping on the jdm train and really don’t know what they got an just want to be cool hahaha, gotta want to learn

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

very cool cars and they sound awesome great video guys...

[@wurlycorner]

Absolutely awesome - without doubt, the best rotaries I have ever seen!

[@AdversityZone]

20:03 All looks like he just saw the first girl he ever had a crush on

[@kicksb4food]

"It's my reliable street car." Actualols. Excellent vid guys - that 26b is killer.

[@Phil_Bennett]

That rear mount turbo setup at 10:28 is sick

[@steveveness3829]

G'day from West Australia, guy's thanks for sharing😉🙂👍👍

[@brucemacdonald5532]

That idle sound is glorious!

[@bladestorm055]

Yeah Bud, Simmons!!!

[@bostedtap8399]

Epic, a whole new world of cars, fantastic vlog guys. Thanks for sharing.

[@duncandonovan5270]

So cool these gem cars! Would choose 1 of these over a Ferrari anyday!

[@gnrsgl]

Cool seeing places I've actually been

[@Lukescomment]

That Toyota Crown was nice

[@georgebrowne6846]

Good to see the Skid Factory in NZ. Along with Benny and Haltech channel, they are the best motoring KZbinrs in Australasia

[@feenyx6394]

I mean, we have Rob Dahm, but the world could ALWAYS use more 4 rotors. Get amongst it Alan ;)

[@lisaharry6806]

Huh?

[@nathandy2683]

The Kiwi rotary scene is next level, enough to make me cross the Tasman 👌

[@tenmillionvolts]

You bet. We have whole drag meetings for them. I seriously haven't seen a dead rotary for years. Someone else just takes on the project and makes it even better! No rotor ever goes to waste in NZ now. Too precious :-) Had a mate with a built RX7. Never beaten. HSVs, Mustangs, you name it - he whipped its ass. Stolen eventually. Got trailered from under his window at night. Real professional thieves. Very sad day for us :-(

[@street273]

Rotorys have always been my favorite thing... one day I might have one

[@MrNosajwhitey]

New Zealand is awesome

[@Pablo668]

That green Crown was legit cool.

[@teeroi84]

Choice as bro, been waiting for this.

[@01FozzyS]

That orange RX is a nice sleeper.

[@SomervilleMetalWorks]

Plenty of rotors in Australia just not many in qld compared to vic and nsw

[@lisaharry6806]

?

[@patd5146]

I want that 4 rotor sound for my ring tone! It’s mesmerising 😎😎😌

[@detroitredwing919]

Buitiful cars 🙌THANX GUYS ✌ Much love from the states 👌👌👌

[@grahamserle7930]

That 4 rotor thing sounds awesome.

[@JordyValentine]

For future reference you open the boot by pressing the Holden badge on the rear haha. They're junk. Love the vid, plenty of cool cars and some nice looking workshops

[@5UPRAH]

How to make anyone smile? Send them to an NZ car workshop.

[@thereal2scummy636]

Land of the screamer pipe and brap brap

[@mattgraham1983]

😂😂😂as a kiwi I'm bloody jealious you jobbos went to Mad Mike's stable 😂😂😂👍👍👍 💝

[@gazza116]

great stuff guys.

[@tmmtmm]

yeah bud, Simmons 👌

[@User78347]

Simmons ftfw boys yewww

[@jbm3458]

So good!! Lovely cars

[@alanpeirce7292]

That last rotary sounds amazing, would love to see that thing driven in anger. Loved the episode fellas, keep it up.

[@kiwijzx9475]

If you search azhar quad rotor rx3 I think there's some videos on here of him drag racing it

[@mobiusclean6440]

That 4 rotor sounded wicked ;)

[@patrick247two]

Excellent.

[@Hybrid330i]

Cheers for sneaking the e30 in there :) and thanks for coming over, would be great if you guys make it a regular thing. We have a massive range of cars that are tucked away in sheds.

[@tdlaustralia7791]

That 4 rotor is quieter than i thought it would be. Guess its to pass exhaust laws, unlike most of the US. Only other 4 rotor ive heard is a maxda racecar and rob dahms billet 4 rotor, which he got from NZ. Jack from hp logic has a 3 rotor with peripheral itb's and it makes me tingle whenever I hear it. Cool stuff guys.

[@HotForgeChaos]

Gotta pass cert at 95dB, hence why its pretty quiet

[@deanrobert8674]

Some crispy chop from the 4 ROTOR. Must be even better live.

[@gumbooter5562]

Loving all the tangs!!

[@tepidtuna7450]

Please Al and Woody, do a 4-rotor conversion. Pretty please?

[@jezz4khd785]

It takes a bit to put a smile on dial, but that mint RX2 had me grinning hard. Nice work.

[@timtoombs5010]

There was nothing after the patreon credits! Great vid though! Our Kiwi cousins are godlike when it comes to rotors. We are seeing less rotors around because the Kiwis keep buying them all.

[@Synthetic-Chicken]

And they didn't even get to check out World Famous RE Sinclair, here in Christchurch.

[@joshuasarn007]

yeah boy , you cant get more chilled out then the NZ boys yew!

[@lisaharry6806]

Hey

[@bmh67wa]

That orange RX-2 was beautiful! I had one back in the day but I spent only $40 for it and it was nowhere near as nice as that one is.

[@T1M083]

Welcome to my home country. Al looks like a little kid in a toy shop lol

[@LongPeter]

I like it how Countdown still use the Woolworths W.

[@deeze67]

Al needs a 4-rotor car in his life, look at his smile! :D

[@mrivantchernegovski3869]

i used to work next door to chee lam at the ford wreckers and i had a c33 Laurel which my blue oval boss hated ,the amount of great cars of all descriptions chee worked on was amazing and i used to look forward to going to work just to see what cars were at dynamic autiomotive that day ,back then it was a lot of nissans and toyo aristos .chee is a legend and glad you went to see him ,

[@theskidfactory]

A legend indeed, could have spent quite a while picking his brain.

[@mrivantchernegovski3869]

@@theskidfactory for sure i spent a lot of time talking to him and really learned alot about my rb20det i had in my laural and a lot about how to tune it and turbo fitments as i was sorta old skool carby v8s and tuning 2 strokes with jets and shit then got into the world off fuel injection and turbos sort by accident really opened my eyes,keep up the great content your channel is a breath of fresh air compared to some of the other channels that are totally scripted and choreographed that they just seem fake where you guys are true dinkim aussies and real people

[@mattyallwood]

So much happy

[@MrStuwr250f]

I've been waiting for these videos. I missed you guys by a few hours in Hampton Downs, heard Al found the Radical an eye opener...ha ha!

[@theskidfactory]

That was at Highland Park. But yes it was an experience.

[@MrStuwr250f]

Oops yes it was..I was getting confused with my photo's, as they had the GT3RS from Hampton Downs at Highland Park...heard the drift Mustang was more to Al's liking...hope there is some footage of that too!

[@HotForgeChaos]

12:59 Not quite mate. Its the fastest street legal rotary that's currently on the road. Green Brothers has a beat up looking but street legal 323 wagon that's gone mid 8s but that hasn't been seen for a while now

[@mclarenjohnf1]

I just love the rotary sound ever since I was in a RX7 FC the car was mint and the engine was perfect, I also had a friend who had an NSU RO80 another rotary.

[@alexbrown1995]

Many years ago there was a tradition amongst RO80 owners. If they saw another RO80 they'd hold up a hand with a number of fingers erect. The number of fingers was the number of engines they'd had in their cars. I haven't seen a RO 80 in decades.....

[@usedchoc]

So many Subaru owners vaping in the back row...

[@untrgrnd]

Rotary's bring smiles to car guys since engineering 🥰

[@CastellawSpeed]

finally some rotary stuff!

[@MmeDesgranges]

So unusual listening to the Four Rotor, great part 1 lads.

[@tenmillionvolts]

If you think that's weird, we here in NZ went one better and built a 6 rotor. look up 'PPRE 6 rotor' in KZbin. You're welcome :-)

[@lister-of-smeg4056]

Good video, nice garage.. keep it up guys.

[@hillfurnishings]

Chi is the man

[@IvelLeCog]

Are you going down south? Be keen to catch up if you guys visit Dunedin

[@morophineswordphich8229]

Enjoy the time out of the smoke, boys!

[@finlay230]

truley awsome vid !!! loved it !!

[@zyoungson215]

Ahh new zellind, nice one bru.

[@HyPex808-2]

Didn’t know there was dedicated following for imports in Australia and New Zealand. Impressive!

[@andrew75511]

I think it was the mid 90s the government changed the car import laws meaning it was very easy to import 2nd hand cars. We pretty much got 1st dibs on any 2nd cars in Japan. I think some Americans would lose their shit seeing all the rad jdm stuff rolling around. Ive seen old ladies driving around in VR-4s and skylines. The best of them are getting a bit rear now days though.

[@HotForgeChaos]

Accurate, I've had 3 JDM imports now and 2 of them were cheap af

[@HyPex808-2]

Andrew I don’t remember seeing older imports in the states like NZ.

[@jonathanwright5550]

My dad worked at the honda factory in nelson when the import tariffs were dropped. They closed the factory and turned it into an import processing centre :/

[@SomervilleMetalWorks]

@the_l0stchild All the cars are imports.......

[@davidbailey168]

Turbo yoda meets rotor yoda!

[@lisaharry6806]

Where are you from?

[@Joffie69]

How did he keep the 26B so quiet?? i had a 13B in an 808 wagon and couldnt keep it quiet enough.. lol

[@MrJermbob]

nice work boys. i wish i was more socially connected and knew you were coming. would of been cool to show you my interesting car haha. good to see some fellow workshops cars to see whats out there.

[@djpenfoldnz]

Chee is a legend. Swapped my SR20DE for a SR20DET in my S13 in like 1 day. When I came to pick it up, they'd put snow tyres on the rear lol

[@ianmansfield8885]

i never realised how much Woody looks and sounds like Scott mcloughlin until i saw him in this video

[@kingmarz3635]

NZ has the largest stock of classic JDM cars in the world. You should check out our small town wrecking yards while over here it will make you cry.

[@pudle6555]

That 4 Rotor sounds like a big bore yamaha banshee

[@newkindofviking6701]

Just thought; what time is it to upload!? But... I'm in Denmark.. Danm. Forgetting all the time.. And this time, the add was actually of some sort of useable. Lovely to see you guys again. I always love to see your vids! Of all the 'Tubers out' dere, you Aussies is so familiar in mentality to us in Scandinavia. If you're coming to Gatebil, I'll be there for a chat! So, keep us updated. Danm.. I can't even think about words, that will help you say it right, even though you we're quite close. See you on your next video! ❤️

[@pauljohnson7382]

Could spend all day drooling at Dynamic Automotive👍 12A thru 26B...damn 👌
