[@EverythingsStraight]

Mad props to Alberto. Dude is only one man but works like a whole team

[@mocbest123]

Facts

[@user-xk8ng8dl3o]

For fucking real though. Imo Adam doesn't thank him enough but what do i know

[@mchatin696]

For real

[@vonta909]

I mean he does pay him

[@KasamS]

Cbr 40000 adam literally pays the man

[@isaiah6548]

Change the title to "Trying to start the RB"

[@AVlongboarding]

mf tru doe

[@dougamer31]

yeah for reals tho...

[@brokecalzone1751]

super misleading lol, was really excited

[@justinthomas2538]

yeah how about it...

[@cadensigurdson9828]

Agreed

[@GermanEliteTuning]

That motor looks beautiful even tho it did not start.

[@BCs300z]

When I first finished my RB build and was priming it, I had the same issues with the oil not moving in the engine. After a little research, found that there are commonly found issues with the installation of a new oil pump and getting an air lock in the pump. There is a procedure to turn the engine backward at the crank which applies a little reverse suction. In the end, I still wasn't seeing the oil traveling as far as needed. However, as soon as I fired the engine up for the first time, the oil immediately pushed the air lock and all was well. It boiled down to the RPMs not being high enough to get past the lock. Hope this helps

[@AdamLZ]

Helps a ton! I have also read the same stuff. Was just being overly cautious - never hurts!

[@d1dachos]

Trying to start the RB25 Skyline'

[@edwinosorio5615]

Wdym it started at 13:41

[@Wespood]

That's as much starting as the sr20 is reliable.

[@d1dachos]

LMAOOO

[@edwinosorio5615]

Wespood 😂

[@troythornburg9709]

I love all of the build videos. I like how we get to see most of the process and learn stuff while being entertained at the same time. I’ve always loved engines and cars and bikes

[@stashtrey1]

Bummer!!! Sending positive vibes your way. Hang in there. Motor looks so nice in that bay. A+

[@IS300driver26]

Not surprised to see engine issues...

[@hinatahyuga6999]

Had a dodge commercial before a Nissan video Life is great

[@byGiNeSiToX]

Xavier Ridge Got a Toyota Gazoo Racing one

[@hinatahyuga6999]

byGiNeSiToX Bananas nice

[@LKENNEY28]

Xavier Ridge I had a Subaru one... OOF

[@unclejacksyoutube6496]

Dodge is dead... technically

[@Leeoh949]

Xavier Ridge ok

[@destin6041]

That poor starter

[@coryoldfather637]

Destin Ginnis right lol

[@thetassieboys]

Fuck the starter... So much cranking with no fucking oil circulating!

[@dylanmounsey7515]

Poor turbo

[@venroxslip6032]

Dylan Mounsey why the turbo? It's got oil now that it's cranked. Nothing wrong with that

[@dylanmounsey7515]

Venrox slip no.. towards the end he said he check the oil feed line and confirmed that the turbo wasn't getting oil . Without oil pressure u can crank all u want bud

[@Jon95McC]

I always cringe when cars crank for a long time

[@eliminatorxx713xx]

JJM Most people do but it's a non stock engine you gotta make sure to crank that to A) make oil flow so your expensive mods don't get fucked and B) to actually start your baby up...

[@duanebailey6253]

Only thing it hurts is the battery.

[@phat_g]

@@duanebailey6253 starters don't like long cranking either

[@StreetDreamzTT]

All part of it man. You guys just need a good night rest and you’ll figure it out tomorrow. Good luck and can’t wait for the next vid to hear this thing. I love RBs

[@t1995roger10]

That's a mighty fine looking engine bay!

[@gregh7457]

admire it now because its gonna get messed up soon

[@ZyzzNutss69]

Nope its dirtym tommyfyeah's engine bay is cleaner

[@RCMAN23]

Wassup with the bmw???? Edit: when i ask i mean “ did it get there ok?” Yes ik its going to Germany

[@MartinGallego]

probably on it's way to the nurburgring!!!

[@JzLyfe]

RC MAN 23 wassup is you dont pay attention to his vidoes....he made a video about it some time back.

[@RCMAN23]

NissanHyoryuLyfe first off i wasnt talking to u. 2nd i watch all his vids. And yes I watched the last time he talked about it. “Some time back” since then hes bought a r32 and gave another update on the s15.....

[@LKENNEY28]

RC MAN 23 GERMANY

[@kimkiller70]

ITS going to Germany you dum dum :)

[@derekwatkins5979]

Never commented before. Love the videos and wish I knew more to help out. Alberto is one of a kind and I feel your projects are helping him become even greater. Keep uploading and I'll keep watching.

[@jspeedracing]

Great vid man. I’ve been loving the skyline build. Might be getting one soon.

[@epicman9601]

So hyped for you dude, you guys do great work

[@dawsonlaflair7778]

Awe man so close! I'm sure you and Big Boost will have her running an sideways in no time!! Good luck guys!! I can't wait!!!!

[@anthonymontoya8039]

Title should have read, starting the "skylime"... Congrats Adam and Alberto! All the hard work and dedication is totally paying off! Keep at it! Much love and respect!

[@Benscars]

Keep up the good work, love your videos

[@A.S.B1192]

Even though you didn't get the rb started today you showed us what to expect can't wait to see the rb start and see it rip on the track

[@leeutner8899]

I had this oil pressure issue with oil not getting anywhere when I finished my SR into my R32, my problem was the oil filter was bottoming out on the relocation block, make sure that isn’t your issue and then make sure your lines are around the correct way, hopefully it’s as simple as that, scary stuff I was stuck for 2 days wondering what was going on and I was stressed I done damage but I had my car idling for about a minute and it done no damage and still going strong after a year so try not to stress hope you sort it soon man keep up the good work

[@Missileworksllc]

Been waiting all day for this haha

[@YB0THA]

New Zealand advice from an RB owner/racer. Your battery needs to be at 100% the engine is not cranking fast enough. Another thing I have done is pressurize the sump with compressed air, that will assist the oil going up the pick up.

[@edwardpiper9865]

Can’t wait to hear the r32 run and slidin around keep the great vids coming. Me and my kids look forward to your uploads

[@travisboorman8084]

Filling the oil pump with petroleum jelly before installation is the best way to ensure that the pump has enough lubrication to create the seal that is needed to pick up oil on start up every time. Through my years of building engines I have found filling the car through the oil pressure switch hole under pressure using a engine priming tool ensures that the pump, all the galleries, the expensive turbo and all the bearings are seeing oil before cranking or start up. Instant oil pressure on start up......

[@Z32orDIe]

Such is the life of custom wiring, you guys will get it dialed in. I got faith in you both. All in good time

[@connorb9097]

I just watched Alberto turn an engine over for about 9 minutes. Total fun video.

[@Tahj_-yn4uo]

Looks 🔥🔥 with the RB

[@TB86GRC]

Don't rush your projects just for us viewers dude, take your time!

[@ericfranklin2064]

Hope you get it running, man!!

[@mattiuscarpop9162]

RIP RB Alberto strikes again! This engine ain't lasting long ahah

[@xDEEZxNUTZx]

Love the vids! Keep it going man!

[@ERK77VI]

Starter definitely sounds like some cylinder or cylinders are missing compression, it makes that uneven sound. Obviously while "running" it was only running on few cylinders, but that could be just spark timing issue...

[@VEDEMRACING99]

That red looks great in the white bay!

[@GodisGood941]

Cleanest looking engine bay you’ve ever done hands down 😂

[@jasonmelendez4484]

Love you videos keep up the good work!!!👍👍

[@lanekuchinsky7908]

Love the videos keep it up Adam

[@bekiro28]

This is the cleanest engine bay and sexiest set up with a pretty and strong engine Adam it is so good that i am little bit jelaous

[@toddyrightonit]

Cool man I had a 32 here in Australia I used to drift from about 2006 to 2012 in that car , mine had the 3lt bottom end out of our pre 89 model aus delivered skyline, this combo made well over 300kw unfortunately for me this was before everyone knew about the oil pump issues and the extended snout on the crank man did I blow some motors a bit similar to your sr20 dilemmas .

[@criticallycanadian]

Yes! Dan at Post Haste Performance is the man!

[@DgBxngin]

This Skyline looks nice as fuck man, keep up the good work.

[@ColoradoMk4]

That rb was laying down some nasty beats during the priming 😂😂😂

[@villehjelmberg558]

The engine bay is so clean!

[@Sauerbrew777]

The shot of the engine @ 7:52. So beautiful.

[@stashtrey1]

Oh yeah! Been waiting for this one.

[@jdmnic1]

The skylime will live soon!!! Good luck guys! Can’t wait!!! 👍🏻

[@TheRouge]

Yay Skyline!! 🔥

[@KalvinMalli]

Nice bro. The rb30 should be firing up really soon also. Just waiting for the turbo lines 🤘🏼

[@kylebansraj2921]

Kalvins Garage Eyyy kalvin👊🏼

[@armanitheshortkidd5066]

Kalvins Garage new sub

[@OMGAurora]

Adam that car is amazing. I’m trying to buy a jdm altezza so I can run a 25 in it!

[@rexrunner]

The oil pump is cavitating. You need to fill the cooler and as much airspace as possible. A normal motor has a resistance between bearings to help with bleeding. You added 1.5 qt system atleast of pure air

[@Leowiseone]

When I see this engine bay... my heart smiles.

[@blpanthers00]

Oh my god I’m laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂 at 9:50 when big boost says “please don’t blow up” and Adam says “you’re scaring me should I open up the garage” big boost shrugs, covers one ear and let’s it rip 😂😂😂

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

So annoying when I’m sitting here watching this but could massively help you and Alberto out!

[@Michal_S0L]

7:47 Alberto's face is ultimate satisfaction

[@420sx5]

So excited

[@saiftarish8446]

Pretty sure its an air lock, i had same issue after rebuild, got to prime the oil pump i did this by filling up the hole beside the oil filter thead until oil comes out. Hope this helps

[@bekiro28]

I was so ready for a start up specially after pumping for 6 min non stop hahaha

[@michaelrichardson8891]

Your my favorite KZbinr love your vids really hyped to get this car running

[@austeezyg]

no bc coilovers?

[@benjohnson2183]

I assume he’s gonna do it soon

[@skylerdueck3908]

damnnnn daniel from post haste killing it, crazy to think you guys use our local tuners haha

[@alvindahlbergpaby8060]

Finally, been waiting since yesterday

[@jok3yjesu339]

I really love the red on the rb 😍😍 it would look amazing with gold so a red and gold theme

[@bangarangjon5106]

considering how much it was already spinning while cranking i"m reeally curious to see how the turbo will respond when tuned but that whole issue with no oil circulating isn't to serious, maybe missing a gasket for the oil pick up? who knows.

[@gammalight1312]

Hopefully they used some awesome assembly lube. Maby an oil seal leak at the pump pulling vacuum instead of oil or a gross over use of gasket maker goo? Backwards oil lines or a defective oil pump? Sketchy..

[@andregross7420]

Yeah those bearings are not happy right now.

[@isaiah6548]

oOooOOoOOOo BABYYY

[@cmsracing]

Did you prime the oil pump? Installing a bone dry pump will have just enough clearance between the gears that it will not draw a vacuum. I did that...ONCE!

[@hunterpowers6592]

Can't wait to see this rip on the track

[@therickman1990]

So now that the Skyline has an ECU from the 21st century, how about the SR?

[@imnota]

It was supposed to be for the sr, and Adam decided the Skyline needed it more. The 240 works fine with the stock ecu.

[@thesam101]

double check the oil cooler/relocation lines are hooked up correctly, could be trying to force oil the wrong way through the filter, which the drain back valve would be preventing.

[@Ltbookum]

When cranking for a long duration of time you might want to add a charger to the battery. The starter draws a lot of amps and will kill it prematurely or at the very least shorten it's life span. BTW a/any starter is actually overpowering itself from the factory thus they aren't coping well with long cranking sessions, they'll overheat. Not to mention the ecu might need to see at least 12v to start sending out a spark signal. Funny hearing about Post Haste Performance, I know them as the Volvo tuners from Drifts and Lifts. There indeed is a whole lot of land in between you and them.

[@kemogasick3697]

I have been literally waiting for this video 😂😂😂😂😂😂 even tho I'm 2jz fan

[@Belicose777]

Is that rust on the fender near the edge of the wheel well not concerning anyone else?

[@ilikeboost4764]

Belicose777 nah. It's a "beater".

[@jamaljuma439]

Belicose777 he should buy tommy f yeahs gtr quarter panels.

[@christianlemonade5355]

He already talked about about and so what anyways it’s for drifting it’s not going to be perfect

[@duanebailey6253]

It's a drift car it's fine the thing is gonna be smashed in no time.

[@Turbo_ej1]

Hell yea broth- shoot, wrong channel. Im so exited for this though

[@babarnett1987]

Did you use the correct gasket on the oil pick up tube!!??? That will cause no oil pressure straight away. Common for people to mistake it. On high mount setup RBs crack the oil feed and crank till oil comes out, once oils there you are golden.

[@bongskag]

the stock oil light should go out when you have oil pressure, after around 5 sec cranking with the efi relay unplugged

[@axelsevilla7863]

ENGINE LOOKS SO CLEAN🚀🤯

[@shroomshroom6969]

That’s a gorgeous engine bay

[@harrisonoconnor4709]

The startup sounded like that new song “we on fire”, pretty funny

[@alexsharp2314]

When filling it did you account for the oil cooler and pipe work

[@kevinpianko8968]

Father with the daily vids 😤

[@KPapi-ij1hl]

Wow alberto is the superman of mechanic he is so genius youre my idol big boost

[@rectro6552]

Alberto: alright crank number one... ad plays PS great video as alwayss

[@MegaHzz]

Such a beautiful engine bay

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Always enjoy your videos. Alberto seems like such a good dude. How did you guys meet? I’m curious too-and maybe you’ve stated it before-is Alberto just a super dedicated friend and willing to help with your vehicles or is he employed by you?

[@Reventon777]

Lucky it didn't start if it has oiling issues. Don't know how long you were cranking it over but might have scored the cylinder wall. But then again the motor is moving pretty slow so it might have not built up enough heat to do any damage.

[@itsthatpokemon4468]

MVP goes to the starter motor on this one

[@SChassisTuning]

Make sure the Cam Caps are on correctly, I've had issue's with RB's not building Oil Pressure amd being difficult to turn out, and all it was, was a Cam Cap on backwards. Good Luck

[@baytona]

Here we go

[@thedynoboys2823]

you can buy the rb25det LS coil pack conversion harness from wiring specialties.....looks much nicer.

[@meh.7539]

Some of the solutions/reasons Alberto finds and/or diagnoses for issues are just incredible to me. Like, how did you figure out that solution to the oil pump issue? That guy is some Rick Sanchez level mad scientist.

[@rodolfoalfonso713]

It looks so nice deym

[@200jdm]

Reverse bleed the oil pump, probably wasnt packed with grease in the oil pump. Pump oil into the port that feeds the turbo on the block. And same with the port on the oil filter housing. Pump wont work if its just got air in it.

[@Missileworksllc]

Pull the spark plugs and free crank it to get the oil pressure up

[@SammieJM93]

Did you line bore the crank tunnel when you used arp mains. Sounds tight

[@sihatch670]

Hey Adam. Where did you say that coil pack bracket is from? Thorn industries? Can you link me, please.

[@danielquimby9170]

If you pull your spark plugs, your oil pressure will build much faster. I have an rb26dett, without the plugs you'll see 30 psi. Less stress on the starter also.

[@Flashflash1989]

yep, thats true make it crank a lot faster too. their attempt on cranking sounded weak.

[@rigmorcassar19]

Check the oil filter sandwich plate direction , it happened to me one time. And I had no oil in the cylinder head too.

[@tonyb6834]

sounds like no spark? or lack of power to coil packs.

[@liamhargreaves7135]

Mmmmm dry cranking nice 👏🏻
