[@mikeobarr8589]

As an automotive repair professional my whole life (tech, management ect.) I can see where Al got the "Yoda" nickname. Definitely the guy in the shop you call when something is kicking your ass. He'd walk up, grab a seemingly non-related or obscure tool and flip it upside down & backwards then proceed to demonstrate how to use the Force.

[@TL-ih9zc]

yeah im about half-way thru my diesel mechanics apprenticeship and i can tell u right now he makes engine swaps look sooooo easy

[@DashCamOwnersAustralia]

Nothing better than working under your fourby and getting to taste the dirt and mud from every previous trip you've done.

[@paulwilberforce9659]

Dash Cam Owners Australia hi ;)

[@TheVeyron623]

AAAAH! It's you! MAAAD!

[@victorbitter583]

Yeah , not to mention scraping off a few cyclists eh.

[@rualert1602]

Now that's proper nutrition.

[@SlingSalsa]

with or without vegemite?

[@harrisonbaker8481]

This will be epic

[@jasonjenks2609]

Skid Factory is one of the best shows on the inter-balls. Turbo Al and Woody are awesome!

[@RicksWorld91]

This is going to be a fantastic swap. I hope they cover everything involved.

[@cardesinr]

Diesel, my favorite fuel. Good on ya boys....

[@jakekidd7007]

In the states we don't get diesel SUV's that size. We either have massive SUV's or we have the smallest toy cars. . . .

[@TL-ih9zc]

@@jakekidd7007 its coz its a forby not a SUV, built light and powerful

[@slowrps13]

Rollin' Coal with Turbo Yoda.

[@mcmtv2]

you know it

[@Oblithian]

Somehow I doubt he would do something as stupid as wrecking his engine just to create excess soot.

[@benwilkinson1594]

@IvanTheFabulous if you said that but the opposite way round youd be spot on

[@thewaywardgrape3838]

Watching and learning from a bloke with many many years of experience - for free - is an honour. Thanks AL and MCM.

[@uberflutak]

Turbo Yoda. What a legend. No BS. Great to see more videos from yourself and Woody.

[@Vax42]

Honestly would love to have the knowledge and experience that Al does.

[@Korokukanas]

vax Get a project car, get some tools, and start making something!

[@ActivityPhoto]

vax - yep he is a true fabricator for sure. Don't think there is anything he can't do around vehicle...

[@Lukipela01]

I read Patrol and turbo diesel and I’m instantly hooked!

[@moldingpro7208]

This show is a natural winner. Can't wait for the next episode! Cheers!

[@alexbrown2296]

Sitting here nodding - been there done a lot of this before. Al, you do a great job of explaining simply and clearly what you are doing and why. Looking forward to this series a lot.

[@mrAudisubaru]

Finally some diesel power on the show. Nice build keep up the work.

[@HarryTwatter]

my new favorite car build channel on YT!

[@mcmtv2]

tell your mates!

[@niekerker26]

Really love this series. Love that they explain what they are doing. Their fabrication is on point and its nice to see them work with common tools and not cnc machine everything. They do it the real DIY way.

[@nipps223]

Thanks guys for another great episode. Keep it up from Scotland.

[@jaithompson4152]

Fuck yeah finally a patrol

[@Kalimerakis]

funny they swap it for a diesel

[@williambone]

"its all doable i've done it before" FUcking Legend

[@CMFL77]

LOVE this show! I could listen to Al spit his mechanical knowledge for hours

[@GTTwincam]

Yesss, so glad you're starting a new series. This is going to be awesome :D

[@petej222]

we've being needing some 4x4 love

[@heartbreakr3191]

Here for all the moot from the soot

[@ktmarvin300]

The deep insights you get in this series is quite amazing... Usually all those pro-tips like what clearances have to be checked or how to exactly undo various things like the bell housing to avoid additional work are skipped as they may not be entertaining to most people who just wanna see something being built but not learn how to do it yourself. I love these videos, keep up the good work!

[@mugencity]

Loving these bare-bones episodes. Good stuff!

[@lochieperkins7592]

Bro bro bro bro bro bro bro

[@dinosshed]

Was checking to see if that’s been noted, far too many ‘bro bro’ coming from the mouth of the dude who knows fuck all about cars. Just hold the camera and keep quite ‘BRO’

[@Seansfishingtales]

Instead of BAAAAARRR STUSTUSTUSTU it’s going to go oooooo000000OOOOOOO STOOTSTOOTSTOOTSTOOT

[@erki09]

damn this made me giggle, good comment !

[@SchmidtHeadSpearfishing]

yes. yes it is.

[@remyche4300]

It can do both 😂

[@aussiebloke609]

"My experience tells me it should be perfect, but we'll check anyway." Words to live by. :-)

[@seangraffunder1002]

As soon as I seen the title I knew this was going to be my favorite skid factory/MCM series I’ve ever seen!! Can’t wait to see the rest

[@CM-by4jo]

I can’t be the only one who isn’t sure whether Woody is 19 or 39

[@25LQW]

Christian Mitchell haha. He's 26.

[@ashleybull4450]

'yeah bro' 'is that a day ruiner bro?' He needs to stop.

[@JaxRC]

Bro?

[@Woodrigos]

Relax Bro's

[@MajinTT]

Straya bro.

[@Rebel635csi]

Hell yea. Here in Canada we don't have a lot of diesel stuff unless they're monster v8s from pickup trucks or the Cummins. Nice to see a smaller diesel swap.

[@alanbutler2579]

I want the Cummins, but to fit to the patrol.

[@black69camaro2344]

how bout the 4bt? would it fit the patrol?

[@chaoticmuscles]

This was the biggest and best Diesel engines in Australia for a while until Toyota came out with a small diesel v8 (much to Nissan fans envy).

[@rowangreen8178]

6bt fits

[@cam181990]

Us aussies just wish those big diesel's you got could be more affordable here 😂 Hence why going the td conversion. It's not that great a motor really. Only advantages with this particular conversion is much better fuel economy and to work better for water crossings.

[@TheHotRodNash]

a true professional Who can put what he is doing into words and explain what and why he doing it. keep up the good work Al

[@CoxBox23]

HELL YEA!!! A 4WD build worth watching

[@suckethonthyballs]

Apart from dingus saying 'xxx... bro?' I'm enjoying these more as time goes on. Bro.

[@r4a2g0]

I didn't even notice bro.

[@nickiwen2715]

He's joking bro

[@AndyQuinton]

It's ironic bro.

[@Woodrigos]

Thanks Bro, plenty more videos coming your way

[@scottthompson292]

+Woody You could try saying something Aussie, like Mate... Or are you some kiwi import or something.

[@joshoconnell2104]

Just what I needed. Time for a bourbon!

[@WilliamSmith-pd2sr]

Great to have you guys back already I'll be there for every episode

[@shagsshag149]

Cheers for the video guys,good to see both ya back👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@RandomMiniFilms]

This Show is better than Mighty Car Mods!! Haha! Still Love ya MCM! :D

[@bradpovey3193]

Yesssss diesel

[@mavezy]

Such an awesome show. Proper engineering and mad skills!

[@cpmillsaps]

Loving the videos. I'm glad you guys started this up.

[@stupa55]

Thumbs up for a Diesel !! :D

[@chsolti]

So Al tell me Would this fit my Honda?

[@xfysbx]

Woooooo! Glad to see you guys continuing The Skid Factory, Love it! Keep it up guys.

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

Very happy to see that the channel continues ! : )

[@Drew_peaballs_128]

Diesel soot gets the moot 😂

[@skippy2987]

If you're rollin coal your own hole's your goal

[@sideshow45]

Excuse my north american-ness but what the fuck is a moot

[@Abe.Wassenstein]

AKA fanny, vagina, snatch etc

[@stotty117]

Dirty Diesel soot only gets to dirty moot

[@Germaingazm]

never heard that before but i like it

[@hassenfepher]

i remember 1999, it was a bit less than $13 us to fill my tank back then. those days "running on ethanol" meant, when you wake up the next day after the party, if there was any everclear left in the bottle, you had 1 more swig, then the rest went into the tank.

[@hassenfepher]

lol, Hard: see also: stupid. that was a rubber sealed engine, and it blew a few years later. live and learn.

[@williamsmith-ry7ll]

Love the show! Keep up the great work!

[@loganhunt1280]

this is going to be the best series

[@samc5898]

You're not going to chuck out that winch, are you?!

[@m0nkeycheese]

Too many bros, bro

[@nickiwen2715]

Bro, hes joking bro

[@afroaliens]

We need a bro-counter on the next episodes...

[@filterss]

bro theres no such thing as too many bro's, bro. Regards, Brosef

[@joshuawilliam1193]

Skid factory is epic, thank you MCM!

[@mightycarmods]

Thanks Josh, they are legends, we love the episodes too!

[@TripleJ85]

I guess this is why so many barra swaps are being done. Bloody great to see you two back at it again.

[@beast_mode2662]

“Because Nissan is a Pain in the A**, why would you do that?” - Turbo Yoda

[@FarkTurloon]

I lol'd in my office when he said that - got busted for Turbo Yoda'ing during work hours. Totally worth it.

[@nooki1102]

Because patrols are the toughest and done right like this its bullet proof

[@crwhy]

TD42............ Farkin red hot

[@lukehindle4680]

EGTs THROUUUGHHH THE ROOOOOFF hahaha

[@BMXryder98]

Haha learn to tune a diesel, its really not that hard 😂

[@nooki1102]

Not mine at 200kw and towing 5m boats up in cape York every weekend. Tuning is awesome

[@gdngdngdn]

I want to chuck a 4.5 Toyota td in the pootrol. Or is it easier to go the 6.6 duramax? The tdi 4.2 is a bit lazy in my opinion. Just a tractor engine. Spent 3k on getting it to 150kw at the tyres but it still sighs and wipes it’s forehead before it moves. Any ideas welcome. 150kw, 490nm and 12l/100km is great for towing but it would be great if it was available before Tuesday.

[@nate123123we]

Not a Diesel Fan - but I have learned 3-4 things from this one video so Thank you! Always great to watch a master at work!

[@HAunderscoreVE]

i've come to love Skin Factory. The episodes are just right, the camera shots are amazing, the commentary makes you learn stuff. So good!

[@miiiikee_]

Turbo Yodaaaaaaaaaa

[@dzillpadl3759]

Diesel power never die

[@Manhole87]

dziljalal fadhli ummm deisel vehicles will be banned in australia 2020.

[@HeinRothman]

Justin McMullen ummm nah

[@dchil15]

Sauce, justo?

[@Manhole87]

dchil15 cant remember specifics. I think it was 2025 that diesels will be banned in a great many euro cities. And read that australia will follow suit. Tho that was back in the k rudd days. Legislation may have changed

[@nooki1102]

Justin McMullen as soon as you mention rudd all is lost lol. How embarrassing was that wanker

[@analog56x]

YES! a diesel series! i really dont understand why so many people hate on diesels... it doesnt matter if you're 2hp, or 2000hp, its still just diesel. if you're running 2hp gas, pump gas is fine, but 2000hp gas is a whole other beast...

[@TheBMK792]

Hell yes! Wasn’t expecting a new build so soon,

[@brendo7363]

I love the rawness of this compared to the over-edited amazeballs MCM vids. Although, I can't believe you didn't just turbo the TB45, the TD42 is even more gutless in standard trim.

[@scottthompson292]

So you want to take a motor that already has shit fuel consumption and turbo it so it's even thirstier... Good call 'bro'. Not to mention the diesel is far superior for off-roading.

[@mightycarmods]

Over edited.. now we’ve seen it all

[@sideshow45]

Mighty Car Mods can't make everyone happy. Lol. I love the editing you guys do.

[@myownsite]

Mighty Car Mods To be fair the argument could be made for the 350Z series, but Mira series is an entirely different story. Looking forward to see stuff more akin to the latter!

[@brendo7363]

Oh no, sempai noticed me talking shit about them.

[@DMSparky]

Wait what was that thing on the exhaust manifold actually for? It wasn't really a fishing rod holder I'm assuming?

[@LukeTheJoker]

Warm air supply on the intake snorkel for cold starts.

[@PaddyBoy644]

The TB42s (carby), TB42e (efi), TB45 (4.5lt efi) and non turbo TD42 all use the same exhaust manifold that warm air supply is for the TB42s

[@Dale_D589]

so excited for this build, all of your work is top notch and its great to see the way you go about getting the technical stuff done

[@SuprSi]

Looks like hard work, cheers for filming the process, always enjoyable to watch you boys make stuff better :D

[@havox612]

7.8MPG. You're welcome.

[@scottthompson292]

Not needed... Australia doesn't use bullshit units of measurement.

[@888johnmac]

thanks from the UK, I was trying to do the maths

[@TheStigHCE09]

888johnmac you use a different measurement of MPG to the Americans anyway though

[@888johnmac]

SICEM_Rex... aah, still drinks fuel at a horrendous rate though

[@havox612]

No one is diluting anything. I was trying to be helpful...

[@TheKuzmovka]

"It's a non turbo sump so we've got to weld a drain onto it" Putting any and all doubt aside that Turbo Yoda had lost the way.

[@fowletm1992]

TheKuzmovka whats wrong with that

[@mtdualie1039]

Love the precision Turbo Yoda has such knowledge 👍👍

[@AndyQuinton]

Awesome as always guys, thanks again!

[@spoonnz]

DIESEL FINALLY!

[@ravenfilms5147]

Bumper with light bars going to the dump!? Noooooo!!!!

[@julianbrecciaroli7577]

How good is this series?? Nice job fellas!

[@r4a2g0]

These videos are so enjoyable.

[@victorbitter583]

I remember paying 80c/L for juice in 99 and feeling quite ripped off.

[@zogworth]

Victor Bitter You also earnt proportionally less too.

[@victorbitter583]

From memory, i was on just under $15/h at the time. I did a lot of good overtime too.

[@Killjoy_Xp]

$15/h? thats even in todays money well paid

[@zogworth]

In today's figures that's less than minimum wage in Aus. So it's not that good a deal! How ever in late 90s money that was a fair bit

[@victorbitter583]

Yep, below min in this day and age. if your skilled and on under $25 these days, you are being rorted big time.

[@andrewP41208]

Tiddy 42

[@orsopacato]

Finally!!! The moment I was waiting for is come! can't wait to see the final product...

[@aidenonfire]

Maaaaaan this is so good. Been watching yall since ep 1 and this has me so excited

[@rickphillips7221]

30 per 100 faark that's bad

[@benno5481]

rick phillips typical GU petty haha

[@kurtlukey3266]

Shoulda put a turbo Barra in it

[@lz4713]

Kurt Lukey why it would off been more work than just bolt in

[@BrushTurkey]

Kurt Lukey yer until you go under water and it misfires on 4 cylinders

[@adelaidetechtrader]

There's a few been done, also a few RB25/30 conversions, but Barras are still thirsty compared to a nice td42, and the torque at near idle can't be met by a petrol engine, an that's where u want torque for low rpm crawling etc

[@chaoticmuscles]

There's always one

[@remi1au]

looking forward to this series .. keep em coming guys :)

[@andreasronnqvist6162]

I just saw Diesel and knew this was going to be the best MCM series ever!

[@afterxeffectx4678]

if this guy could stop saying bro, that would be bro

[@GVK94]

That ain't bro, bro.

[@paulwilberforce9659]

It's his bro, bro

[@thedaredevil1907]

Bro

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

Thought the same thing bro.

[@DangerDaveMurray]

I think the bro's are hilarious, bro.

[@janfredriksvensson]

Stop saying Bro all the time bro..

[@michaelrsmateus]

Best show on KZbin. Keep them coming

[@christianbuczko1481]

Awesome to see the next project get started.

[@nathancamilleri5587]

Chuck it in the bin and get a 1hdt-fte

[@sikkunntstarks]

then it will keep snapping axles lol

[@alanbutler2579]

At $10k for engine alone the 1HDFTE represents great value for a car of this quality. /sarcasm

[@AbsoluteAcid2112]

The engine alone can live longer than anyone in the world haha

[@sikkunntstarks]

your abit late to the convo lol

[@AbsoluteAcid2112]

Hahaha Better late than never

[@Daermos]

You are the Master Yoda of the mechanical stuffs! Keep up the awesome vids

[@mikemalone2389]

Great vid bloke! Easy to follow and well explained!

[@matthales8857]

Yes! Td time! I love my 99 td gu, sounds mental with a big exhaust

[@commited84]

Best show on KZbin! Keep it up guys

[@jasonyoung6420]
