This will be cool. My first car was a Nissan and they are like lego. Everything fits something else, no worries.

Talent must run in the family - that Dreamy track is great!

Point to The actual link to Barrel Bros in next episode please, I've already checked them out to see what this Mintmobile would be, they rock!

Pointer turned up at the end, good job

So excited to get this tank running properly!

been quietly waiting for this ❤

[@coltonmcrae5873]

You guys need another garage banner with Al saying "Remember kids, say no to carburetors" just like the "Use ya brain" one.

[@moshwithabike36]

Id buy it

[@zackrogers9334]

I'm picturing it including a carb crossed out with a middle finger version of the extendofinger

[@ShainAndrews]

Literally chuckling that a damn pointy stick makes Al happy.

[@imouse3246]

It's shiny. Brings out the crow in him.

[@aurtherbrunt241]

"There are people in this world, that should not be in charge of anything more mechanical, than a pointy stick"

[@imouse3246]

And then they would fall on it, and lose an eye.

[@microbuilder]

Allan back in the day: *mean-mugs the camera* Allan today: *Extendopointerfinger* lol

[@Judge_Edo]

I love how much fun Al is having here

[@udovdh]

Will he add a turbo?

[@CruiserBrah]

"Leaky toilet seat!". Best description ever for a Holley carburettor!

[@Maori_Racer299]

This was gold 🤣😂🤣

[@Laz_Arus]

Al must have increased his morning coffee ration for this episode. He was on fire 👍😁

[@thelmahattingh2213]

love it. "remember kids.,say no to carberators." i couldn't stop laughing.

[@ashleysharkey6406]

*turns to my engine bay* "No!"

Got to make that a sticker haha

[@Alfran-yh4oo]

Agree with Alan! Carburettors never work 100 percent right

[@XLesky]

I have three on one engine though, please advise?

[@nickwisniewski4654]

All I can hear is Marty yelling "IN THE BIN!!!" 😂

[@Averna222]

Damn, that bye Felicia was stealthy.

[@smirkingone]

Had to slow the video down just to catch what it said. Should have known since it is what I usually say when I drop things into the engine bay.

[@koolerking440]

The funny thing with this is you’d get to you limo after a hard day at the office, take you shoes off and then the driver has to sit next to your feet!

[@maxmcleay1823]

Hahaha love it boys. Our retired mechanic (77) dragged this old girl from under a collapsed shed out the back of Tweed Heads. It was in a real sad state of affairs and after months and months of emails back and foreward with nissan trying to get wiring diagrams to start repairs on the factory EFI setup it was more practical to "Lets just get the bloody thing running" Absolutely stoked to see the old girl getting some loving something we couldnt sort here at Carter Automotive. Looking foreward to the updates guys

[@pangaute]

I want a 'drive me to the hoist' t-shirt

[@jetmorran7858]

This needs more likes

[@nutsnproud6932]

I was waiting for Marty from Mighty Car Mods to shout "IN THE BIN!".

[@bennyfactor]

Half expected a cut to Marty shouting "in the bin!" every time Al removed a part surplus to the 21st century.

[@DavidChatenay]

Hahaha same here! :D

[@yeahitskimmel]

Laughed out loud when the barrel bros link never popped up

[@Brodorsport]

I love that yous are keeping the original motor and giving it modern technology. Not every build need to have a engine swap in my opinion

[@heatonhigh]

Good talk learner you have. You speak good with hand movers

[@darryleaston8183]

Love Alan lying there talking about the luxury features, with his guts poking through the hole in his T-Shirt. All class.

[@theskidfactory]

My wife said the same.

[@mynameis63]

As I'm on the other side (end) of the planet...I never get to see vehicles like this..very cool.

[@thisguy1890]

Drink every time Al extends or retracts the finger.

[@OldManBadly]

Someone local to me has a Century from the same era, an absolutely amazing throw back piece.

[@andrewsmith1204]

Never seen Al so spirited as he is with presenting the president. Also, sneaky with the Bye Felicia.

[@Puffalupagus360]

Fun fact! When Ford needed to make up an idle air control valve they choose to use window lift motors to drive the valve. Because because those don't give out on Fords like clockwork. Stick a spare in the boot, the owner will need it at what will inevitably be a very inopportune time.

[@dougyboote]

Pretty rare for a car to drive into the skid factory at the start

[@BarrelBros]

Only just.

[@icondonnied]

My roomie had one of these in the late 80's when we were stationed on Okinawa. The dash reminded me of a early 70's Chevy Impala. We were amazed that it had an auto on the column when EVERY other car we saw had a 4 or 5 speed manual in it..

[@AndyRock1]

Al is amazing. You guys are a perfect combo.

[@senecalfab1487]

The pointy finger was the giving a kid the best toy of the year!

[@LV-FOURTWENTYSIX]

For a filthy old pissing in the wind carby im actually impressed with how the have adapted especially the throttle linkage setup.

[@Turtle11086]

Nissan, V8,1986, Haltech, skid factory, possibly my new fav episode yet

[@deanrobert8674]

@6:00 mins. " Don't Bro " didn't see that coming 🤣

[@theskidfactory]

There is history. Drunk wet willy's in his ear everytime I sat behind him on a road trip.

[@leeburtt5453]

That pointer is spot on!

[@ajw828]

LOL - what a fun video. Love Alan with the pointer finger. Too good.

[@motorcycleandtoolrehab1834]

A family member used to have a Nissan that looked similar to that with the same arse end. I've noticed that you must be near Noosa. I'm just up the road at Gympie but I work on bikes on my new KZbin Channel. I make a lot of the parts I need as I have a machine shop. Anyway great vid Cheers

[@thebige7302]

Getting a 90’ maxima from my grandfather soon, cant wait to turn it into a proper beast

[@ricepony33]

It’s amazing what a proper set of wheels does for a classic car.

[@jpkalishek4586]

Who else had Martin "In The Bin!" going in their head? Back in the olden days (90-93) when I ran 4 cylinder Dirt Mini-Stock, we were mandated to use either a stock carb or a 350 Holley. I prefered the biggest Ford Motorcraft carb we could get our hands on because the car was so much more driveable with it. iirc the best one we had was from an old F150 with a 351. Ran that model on the 2.3 Pinto/Mustang II, a Toyota, my Mitsubishi/Dodge street cars and mini truck (2.6 4cyl), and a buddy's Chevette.

[@ivanstefancic3151]

I hope you bought more than one telescopic pointer mate... cos Al is loving it!!! 👈👉👆👇☝

[@subadude3543]

I never even heard of this car before and its amazing.

[@jimstaines8093]

At the exactly time Woody said it, my antenna was at half mast.

Woody puts my antenna at half mast, as well.

[@robertmcgowan3818]

"Remember kids, say no to carburetors" needs to me a sticker or shirt. Asap haha I want one.

[@theFloxie]

Al's new pointy stick is the best thing.

[@nathanhansford76]

I think you missed a great opportunity to insert Marty’s ‘in the bin!’ for the Holley and air cleaner.... 😀

[@Jez3134]

This thing is so cool. The engine looks like its straight from 1965 but has all the Nissan 80's junk connected to it

[@negativeindustrial]

Like, ALL of it.

[@PiazzaWoodWorks]

I love it when you tubers point to where links should be and there’s no link

[@mickmccluand4677]

Just yesterday I watched the Barrel Bros episode where Mark sets off to Queensland road trip. Now the fist video I watch today is has the two Marks pull up at the Skid Factory; seamless.

[@StratoJohn]

Such a peach, more cars we can't get in England and I couldn't afford even if they were here 😂

[@cordite7207]

You definetely can, I know of an imported one. Infact japan is super easy to import from. Now cost is something else entirely but I think youd be surprised at the cost, it isnt as high as you think, unless ofcourse youre wanting a JDM legend

[@StratoJohn]

@@cordite7207 I checked ebay yesterday and there is a Japanese temple hearse version for sale 😂

[@antonyaiken]

i imported a number of japanese cars straight from the auctions in Kobe Bay. i know of a few presidents, crown, skyline 350, century and my nissan Fuga. its al about knowing what to look for. but they only need a fog light for homologation onto UK roads. its so easy to do

[@BarrelBros]

@@cordite7207 The trick with these is rust. because they are top tax bracket they tended to get left when their time was up. North Japan is dodgy and forget Hokkaido cars

[@BarrelBros]

@@antonyaiken These have foglights standard.

[@nzpork1]

I love pointer Al. It's the best version of Al I've seen yet.

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

Those wheels are gorgeous

[@BarrelBros]

Thank you!

[@VampyrMygg]

I used to have a 1980 Buick Century, it also had electric quarter windows, I used to joke that they were brake flaps and open both while braking... I'm so hilarious. Also, the cigarette lighter thing, my '76 Cadillac Coupe DeVille has one in the passenger door next to the ashtray, now it's handy for charging phones :P

[@literallyshaking8019]

The pointy stick is the best addition to this channel ever.

[@jahraizer250]

This is truly a chuckle out loud , skid factory saves the evening, blast. Thank you

[@cheif10thumbs]

Alan was born the year I graduated from High School. He's just a kid. Hell of a mechanic he is.......

[@darley04]

Working at the Nissan dealership back in the 80's we used to service/maintain the fleet of Presidents that the Japanese Consulate used to have. They were cool even back then but to big and heavy to fit on the 2 post hoists that we had back then.

[@theskidfactory]

That's awesome. Would have been wild in the 80's to see a car like this.

[@stenchcivic1515]

That's got to be the next t-shirt / sticker... " remember kids say no to carburettors!"

pointing finger on a stick.. very much hot version lol

[@simjuk4764]

I like that Al used the pointer thing the whole vid.

[@moshwithabike36]

I dont think ive laughed this hard in ages at als enthusiasm and explanations haha so good

[@mynameis63]

Great wheel choice on the President....gives it a cool 70s feel.

[@crezychameau]

This car looks sooooo nice ! I personnally would delete the badges, but other than this it really looks great, and the wheels are a nice mod !

[@11LowDown11]

Front end looks like headlights from an 80’s mercury with a g-body Buick grill!

[@pashakdescilly7517]

Main body looks like a '70s Merc with too much chrome, and an American facelift, as you say

[@NeverLetOff]

LOL, "bye Felicia"

[@MarcSola7]

Yeah, that washer is not coming back that's for sure. The timestamp for that is 10:58 for those playing at home.

[@j1m3by]

Great vid. Since you were only born circa '75ish I'll let all your Holley hatin' slide. You're not really old enough to understand what an awesome carb they were back in the days when I was your age. I had 'em on all my 60's Fairlane derivatives.

[@glenod]

" Bye Felicia "

[@NeverLetOff]

Hell yeah, old iron!

[@langam7017]

He really loves that pointy stick

[@magnus.nasmark]

Executive Al with his pointy finger is pretty bossy. Not sure Woody wants to give him that power.

[@SimpleEnigma331]

Guys you never put the links in the video in the actual video when Al points to them and it is hilarious to me.

[@robertsomerville320]

Al: "...and then they changed 'em to electronic fuel injection in 1975, so about the same time I was born..." ...all this time I thought Al was older than me, but nope. Al must have been watching Captain Kangaroo right around the same time I was watching Monty Python, i officially feel old.

[@ncmartinez_his]

I love these JDM limos. Liked after only 2 minutes!

[@gedavids84]

"it's not a Weber, it's not that good" Shots fired! :P Love this project, I did the same thing with my chevy caprice. I used megasquirt cause I was doing it on the cheap.

[@bvward]

Although in the late '70's early '80's you could buy a Holley/Weber 5200, which was a Holley-built 32/36 dgev. Swapped one onto my Volks.

Take me to the hoist.... hahahahahah that knock me out of the chair. Al is epic as aways.

@@MafiaboysWorld I worked with an import car yard about 20 years ago, we tried to get as many "exotic" Japanese cars as possible, like Laurels, Aristos, Chasers, Cedrics etc...(none of which were common at the time) They were common in New Zealand back then (so I was told), but not in Australia. Never did I see a President for sale.

@@s13silly Yeah, the VIP scene was trash here during that era. Everyone wanted 180SX's, GT-R's, Spirit R/Bathurst R RX7, etc. Also the RVR or Airtrek-R never got any love but the Caldina did which always perplexed me. 🤔🤷
