The 13B Datsun’s Overheating Mystery *SOLVED*

It's impressive

[@freddiesellick6909]

The Adam attempts working on a car that he doesn’t know about is great content. Should have a series of bodging and Adam mods

[@daneprostamo-brown6552]

This is that series

[@jameshatton4211]

@@daneprostamo-brown6552 I almost read This vs That series..... And was going to say Hoonigan already do something like, don't they? Oh you mean Adam vs Vargas 👌 that would be good to see. Put Vargas on a piston engine like a diesel or something and Adam on the rotar and see who 'fixes their car that they don't know about', first? 🤔😁

[@AnthonyBowman]

After seeing and hearing Adam and Johan giggle and squeal like schoolgirls, the Datsun NEEDs more love and attention!

[@Joebobinator]

Everyone dogs on rotaries until they drive one, comparing brochures they are garbage but even with terrible numbers they are a hoot to drive. Adam has a lot of absolutely insane cars but I've never seen him giddy excited about any of them like this Datsun and the 4 rotor Supra

[@redtwintails]

@@Joebobinator I think it takes you back to simpler days, you just wanna sometimes have a blast. Dont worry about mistakes, performance or optimization. The measurement is having a good f'in time.

[@joelmorningstar3645]

You guys are gonna keep saying that until this thing is a 4 rotor, 102mm Garrett, Micky Thompson, 7 sec in the 1/4 mile car.

[@mason3851]

Don’t get me wrong the other guys do great work but watching Adam work on the cars and learn new things just like it’s back in the day with the 240 is the best content.

[@BossGarage]

YES 👌💯💕

[@Kaushin]

Agree, watching professionals is fine but the "every man" content is what I like watching.

[@lewishall626]

100% agree, specially when he does his own vloggy type stuff with it

[@gagepicard3351]

Can we pleaseeee see yohan do more driving. The look on his face is pure joy and he rips to.

[@gardhaarr8293]

The thermostat in the 13b actually regulates the flow through the entire engine. So if you remove the thermostat then the engine will just circulate the coolant through the front of the engine and not the whole engine

[@inglouriousmofo]

well there ya go

[@brennan9044]

Makes you wonder what the previous owner was doing taking it out

[@jacknissen6080]

Hope Adam reads this 😂😂

[@tommurphy4307]

so you are saying toyo-kogyo trusted their clients' 13B engines to a $10 thermostat- hard to believe.

[@melwalshmtb9121]

Adam is far too invested in this "simple street car". As I typed that, he semi confirmed my thoughts in the intro... A full rebuild and overbuild of it. And I'm here for it

[@Axial32]

DRAG CAR = WHEELIES

[@melwalshmtb9121]

I don’t know why this specific video had me in the feels but it’s so crazy going from the bmx how-to videos to working on the bmw in the townhouse to this. Proud of the boys! Keep getting at it!

[@seanhenderson2079]

The Datsun has hands down been one of the absolute best things for this channel.

[@brianhillger1922]

Fun to see some old style videos with Adam having fun! Keep killing the game lzmfg crew!

[@markireland5501]

A large washer in place of the thermostat was an old trick to help slow the coolant down a little to let the radiator do its thing

[@ChasingPerfection]

They legit sell them with different size center holes. Called water outlet restrictors. High flow electric pumps flow so much that it needs slowed down like you mentioned. Slight pain because you need to change them as the seasons change.

[@TheTroygallegos]

I've had a car with similar symptoms without a thermostat

[@dustynwilliams7816]

I came here to say this, I just took a normal T-stat and ripped the guts out with pliers

[@Russpeed301]

Yeah if the water flows too quickly not giving time for the rad to do its work...but his issue was at idle and then the bottom hose was sucking in . Meaning a restriction. Versus a free flow

[@Danger-Dave]

#AKA the old shadetree restrictor plate.....lolz

[@resqxcod]

Make it look pretty , wire tuck and new downpipe also interior! This thing is so cool definitely want more videos of it.

[@lospaleterosBikelife]

Love to see the datsun with a rotary and any rotary content all us Puerto Ricans love it 🦍🦍🦾🦾🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@brendondaniel8638]

I love this build and how addicted to it you have become. Old school rotaries are so addictive, take it to the drags and see what times it does now then upgrade it and test again

[@Watchmedome3017]

These are the ADAMLZ videos i wanted to see! The other builds are cool and all but it’s not you. This is you putting in some sweat and struggle and we love it! ❤️🔥🔥🔥

[@radbanshee4508]

You can also purchase a lower hose with a coiled wire or spring in it to prevent it from collapsing. Some cars came that way from the factory.

[@garrettchapman8170]

Was also going to mention this. Makes a big difference on our turbo Subaru's

[@stonyfieldmotorsports]

Surprised no one at the shop mentioned it. Crappy ones rust away but a stainless spring would do the job.

[@nismoprince]

most favorite car in the collection and on the channel so far. when i think of fast imports, it is cars like this one.

[@darrencorbit5994]

I don’t wanna see anyone but Adam work on this car, this content of him working on his own cars is such a nice change in content and I feel like every single person viewing agrees

[@amthomson]

I love the content with this old Datsun more than most of your others cars. It's back to basics with a twist of an old rotary. Keep it up.

[@matthewf1979]

This Datsun has become my favorite LZ car!! Love this thing!

[@dominicbustamante730]

That terrified look on James's face is priceless. I am glad you got the overheating issue sorted out already.

[@frvshmdia]

i dig the 13b datsun content lately, keep it up sir adam

[@TheBrownbear68]

i want a full series on this Datsun. im so hooked on this new project. this brings back the the JZX100 vibes from 4 years ago. would love to see more but im down with whatever content you post.

[@KGB908]

Been absolutely loving this series from you. Some of the most relatable content you’ve put out from the compound 👍

[@petetofani4896]

This has been a lot of fun messing with this car. Keep with the upgrades.

[@TheBreakfastClb]

Love seeing your usual stuff but something about a beater that your working on yourself and solving problems with hits home. The Datsun series has been great!

[@Snotrag]

The laughter at 18 minutes in with Adam in the passenger seat 😂😂. That definitely made this video for me.

[@VIANGLING]

adams reaction in the passenger seat when johan was ripping it was priceless. Pure smiles !

[@thomasnord4954]

That launch off the stockies looked great. Maybe make it an 1/8th mile drag or 1/4 if it has the gearing.

[@MikeyFIXED456]

I’d love to see handling, brakes and body mods soonish. This is a fun project.

Love the mighty Datto!!! as a teenager i would ride the train and look into peoples backyards and see a Datto , get off at the next station and walk back and usually end up with the car for $50 or free if I could it running, I've had at least a hundred, 1000, 1200, 1600, 180b, 200b and my favourite the mighty 120y - I am loving this content, many memories coming back :)

[@mikeh.748]

I can’t get enough of the Navy Bean. My brother had this powder blue idk what year ( 70 something, early 70 something maybe ) Toyota lord knows what model when I was in high school. This car reminds me of it so much. It even somehow has the same general body design as that Toyota. Not exact of course but similar. It was just his winter beater so nowhere near as nice looking as this car. Luv the Datsun content guys. Good stuff.

[@James-no7xb]

BIG FAN SHROUD GUY..... Adam always be making sure them fan shrouds are on 💯

[@R6dude]

Haha great seeing these guys have so much genuine fun with the Datsun, it's so simple. Lovely content this one. And the fact that rotary's have become a big part of the channel is just perfect. Never disappointing us. Keep it up guys, all of you

[@tiaankemp9356]

These Datsun GXs build crazy fast drag cars here in South Africa especially the hatchback version like this one. The sedan versions that are called deluxe are very rare and usually built to look nice with a fuel injection mod instead of carbs.

[@charlespatriarcabowling]

Need to see this become the LZ drag car 😂

[@phillblack4455]

I've raced racecars For a very long time I found out using a plate of metal drilled out to 1/4 or 3/8 or something will allow your car to cool as you beat on it and open non- thermostated cooling system will cause your car to overheat because the water cannot flow through the radiator and cool off obviously here to suggestion using it or not..... i like your videos keep going

[@rickywade177]

Im still loving this thing!! If you want more power put a bigger cold side to the turbo, ot just a bigger turbo.. These motors can run an absolutely ludicrous turbo and love it.

[@feelgoodhorizon4084]

we used a 90 gtus clutch fan with the gtus oem shroud on a 510 with a 240z rad. direct fit and oem cooling. do next: 4" turbo back. rotaries hate backpressure. kid came in with his dad and a t2. wanted a quiet muffler put on due to nieghbors complaining. guy came back 4 hours later, the rotary blew a hole through the muffler splitting it open. we warned them no warranty cause it was a bad idea. we use to put 4" on the scca fd's that just had bnr stage oem turbos on them back in early 2000s. they are loud with a 4", but its needed not only for flow but egts.

[@jasonwong38]

The smile on Johan's face is priceless😂🔥

[@michaelschmidtke1525]

The full “build” is coming! That’s what I’d like to see. Simply because this car is different then all jdms but unique with the 13b! Give it a good stance, reliable tuned 350-400 mark and enjoy it for the weekend cruises!!

[@Greasy]

love the rotary content recently brotha, glad you're getting into it more!

[@JBnx2k]

Pro tip when cutting aluminum with a cut off wheel, rub a bar of soap on the blade, it wont allow the aluminum to build up in the pours of the cut off wheel

[@SylasG]

Nice to see a quality SPAL fan that actually moves air compared to Mishimoto.

[@MH-pe8wj]

So happy to see problem solved on the title. 😊

[@michaelalvarado3477]

[@falconsfs7086]

If you're cutting the new intercooler's fittings put any small paper inside it because the metal flakes can go inside the intercooler and clog again

Drag build please absolutely love the Datsun

Self Clearance-ing = "It will wear itself a groove" When you find the worn groove = "It will buff out" "It's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be." = words to live by.

Yoooo this is the most amazing content you and Johan driving the Datsun is sick! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@RonnyRonny2444]

you could use a fuel filler hose at the bottom of rad as they have a spring in them that will stop the hose from sucking flat as an extra fail safe after checking rad for blockage

[@StoneAquatics]

Fastest intro Adam has ever done I feel like I’m watching in 2x

[@KoendHaan]

You should try to make to make the downpipe on your own! I think that would be a great video

[@bigboycombo6342]

My old SR20DET powered 510 threw down 354whp and it was insanely fast and it was around 2090lbs. Can't imagine 300hp in a 1200.

[@johngoepel5263]

Obvious radiator issue was obvious, glad you guys finally threw that POS out.

[@H3110NU]

Ok I’d love to see a full drag build with this thing. It would fit into World Cup Tres Cuarto vs Warrior class. 3/4 chassis with no restriction on turbo size and you’re allowed to run nitrous(which you’d need to spool that giant 98 you’d single spooly boy) 2200 lbs with a 3 rotor and 1900 with a 2 rotor. No rules for trans, clutch, shifter, or fuel…. It’s the Wild West of drag classes. Also it’s the class that Cleetus competes against with Mullet in the Warrior class.

[@MrDom94]

Thank you Adam for creating content that Ive watched for years started watching when used a long board to class so kinda og?

[@Danger-Dave]

LZMFG-FabWerks- Def. needs to do a good downpipe and 3in. full stainless exhaust. Then throw some more boost at it! My bets are on either the driveshaft or the tranny giving up the ghost because you know Mike's going to push it to 400-450 HP. Time for some bolstered seats and harnesses in that puddle jumper!!!

[@e303gt]

I'm loving this datsun content.

[@matt3x37]

Wanna see an anti-roll bar put on the back of this thing💪🏼helps plant the tires evenly so you’ll hook on the street and get the wheelie no doubt about that. And then you’ll get that body roll to go away completely 💯💯💯anti-roll bar please🙏
