Aaron is one smart man , it's really easy to see , his great mechanical skills and his choice in a wife .love you all ❤❤❤

[@hogdog51]

I'm convinced Aaron is a genius . My momma & dad always said , "if you never make a mistake . That means you ain't doin anything ." Y'all are on the top of my Playlist of KZbin channels .

[@flyingsparksgarage]

We sure do appreciate that!!! And Momma and Daddy were right!!!

[@w1zard0f0h]

I don't know why anybody would ever send you negative comments. You two are the best. A person could not ask for more out of your videos, not to mention the fact that you are genuine great people. Much love and keep up the great work. You are really appreciated.

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Sure do appreciate you!!!

[@briannielsen7176]

I think part of the problem is why people aren't subscribed if they watch utube TV. There is no place to subscribe or press like. I literally had to go back to my smart phone to hit the like button.

[@flyingsparksgarage]

You’re absolutely right!

[@br549200]

I can arrow up on my remote that shows a row of things that includes a like button.

[@MustangGuy6501]

​@@flyingsparksgarage that's how I watch but I been subbed since Garfield came home lol great job

[@michaelreynolds1904]

I log in to to KZbin on my TV via KZbinTV. 🤷

[@DavidKing-py9dt]

up on the the remote and one spot in like another takes you to the you-tube channel where you can subscribe.

[@SgtFury2007]

I love hearing the rain and watching you guys!! Y'all are amazing!!

[@janhjorth965]

This video had an extremely chill and calm vibe; less hectic than some of your other shows…much appreciated as an additional vibe in your overall palette. Oh…and nice build; but that is to be expected from you 2

[@sadiejustin]

I am loving the long format. Awesome work, Mr. Berryhill. Congrats on getting the old girl running!

[@adrianberryhill]

Whyyyy thank you good sir!!!!! Sooo glad you enjoy!

[@KevinRagsdale-wu3vr]

fantastic job yes, I am subscribed and will always be love the show and never mis any of them.

[@Rooftroop]

Next time the kids on get her to say Auntie Em(like from wizard of oz) and uncle A Aron(like that commercial a few years ago) lol. Keep up the awesomeness with the vids. Again thank you for sharing a part of y’all’s lives with us

[@douggriffith8435]

I had this as a work car. It was by far the best highway vehicle I ever had. So comfortable and great mileage at high speeds. I wish I had it back. Enjoy

[@verstatubebuilding405]

Thanks for your show, I really enjoy watching you guys work on your projects together. My wife and I did that together on our rock crawler jeeps. She passed away in 2021. So working on the jeep isn’t as fun as it used to be. We were together for 43 years. I am planning on coming to Texas to do some wheeling and will be picking up a friend in Mount Pleasant. Don’t know where that is in relation to your town, but it would be nice to stop by and meet you guys in person 😊. Just from watching your shows makes me feel like I know you already.

[@adrianberryhill]

So sorry for your loss!!! This comment made me leak blinker fluid a bit. Thank you for watching 🙏🏼

[@williammarsales254]

That was the best OOPS story I’ve heard in a while. Love Your Show!

[@stephenruss2015]

I've got a 10 lb Yorkie just like yours his name is rascal😂 and he loves to take a nap and snuggle

[@ch3no2killz]

Anti-Seiiz on plugs a little dab, like a stripe top to bottom, DO NOT get any on the end, you get it on the porsalin because you will never get it all off, at high voltage like ignition 50,000 volts min. once it tracks down the porcalin, it there forever. Most anti has copper, nickel, so you just killed the plug. Ole Lecktrican/mec. The stuff is like roofing tar, get it on you hand, when your done it's every where! Keep on, you guys are Killin it!

[@walterroney9020]

De-pinning the harness and cutting and pinning the plugs that couldn’t be removed was the move. I’ve seen several diy jobs with those problematic injector harness’s and they look like garbage 👏🏻

[@donmears4090]

I live in California where there are smog tests for cars built after 1975. When the smog test is done your car could be so rusty that it's about to break in half but if it passes the smog check you can register it to drive.

[@gardeningpreacher]

Old mechanics trick for installing plugs: use a piece of hose that will slide over the electrode or ceramic part of the plug that is snug - it will make installing those hard-to-reach plugs easier, less likely to cross thread and will keep the plug from accidentally falling out of the socket. When the plug is "finger" tight, the hose will simply spin on the plug, then pull it off and tighten with your socket. The old man who trained me taught me that little trick is it has proven to be invaluable to me. Enjoy watching all the projects!

[@marksnyder2232]

Great episode. That old Sony cam should be repairable, so while it's an inconvenience, it's not a catastrophe Good camera gear is durable.

[@user-jn4gf3ek5r]

Less is more with anti-seize, IMHO. A real 'little dab'll do ya!' sort of thing. I guess more can't hurt, except, as others have noted, you soon look like the Tin Man!! Henley is doing an EXCELLENT job sleepervising your work!! 🙂

[@ronaldcamp6757]

It is hard to compete with Derik’s cosmic nomenclature and comic timing. He is very talented!

[@TNitroH]

Cats wont scratch the paint inless you scare them. They are very gentle walking on my Shelby never gets scratches. Soft paw creatures and they are comfortable with you to come inside. You make me miss my old 280Z!

[@user-zb1xc9qb8m]

I love your down to earth attitude to o repairs

[@dave1135]

I like that parts washers and the solvent is environmentally friendly and safe, I know there's some that don't clean that well, but this crc seems to work well. Back in my day in the late 80s you knew the parts solvent worked because not only did it strip the crap off the parts, but it'd strip your skin off to the bone, that's how you knew it worked!

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

Oh, and hooray for getting the 300ZX going again!

[@emilianocruz11]

Yesss the return of the 300zx tt ❤❤❤

[@michaelbryant6275]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this. I repair calibrate and certify torque wrenches. 20 Newton meters is equal to 14.75 ftlbs. So you should be good!

[@irav4u]

where I used to work, we were not allowed to torque a fastener within 10% of the top or 20% of the lowest torque setting on the torque wrench. Our genius engineers said they lost accuracy on the extreme ends of the wrench. In this case, I would have used an inch-pound wrench

[@garyflint1793]

Fifty years ago, cars coming in from Japan were more consumer oriented and you could work on them. US made were more complicated but now they’re both that way! Aaron, your very good mechanic. Wish I was too! God bless you 2 !

[@johnmedici6655]

So sorry about your camera, or I should say, very expensive camera! That said, I love your videos because they're very educational and fun! You and Aaron are made for each other ❤

[@howardnielsen6220]

Aaron. You look so healthy over years past Good going

[@johnd5805]

That's going to be a fine looking car when it's clean. Nice cruise machine. T tops still rule.

[@br549200]

It’s a law, anti seize gets on EVERYTHING!

[@keithmcdaniels1632]

I have my garfield truck t-shirt ordered..cant wait to get it! I'm liking the work in the home garage videos!

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Awesome!!! Thank you!!

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

My anti-seize tip: get a small, 1/4" wide Testor's paintbrush from the world of model making, and keep that with your Permatex big bottle of goop. Makes for a less messy situation when you only are using a little bit and can "paint" it onto the threads. It usually doesn't take much.

[@CarlosGarcia-dd4lm]

Excited for future episodes. I see an engine pull coming in the near future.

[@louislarson310]

Hey guys it’s Louis, I’m not the least bit surprised and it runs you guys are terrific at what you do. change your oil give her a bath and dry the heck out of her. just got out of the hospital yesterday thanks for the well wishes Aaron and Miss Em. God bless you both stay safe stay healthy.

[@rickydonahue1586]

Hey y'all what a awesome job y'all did getting the 300 running. Of course I had absolutely no doubt that she would fire right up. Em if I had a nickel for every time that I made a mistake in all my 52 years I would have alot of damn nickels let me tell ya! Don't fret they just happen. Love and hugs from Waco.😁 Em here's an extra hug for you.🥰😁

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Sure do appreciate that love and support ❤

[@cruzinZ]

The Z32 is Japanese equivalent to a German over engineering vehicle. It was one of the first street production cars to use CAD back in 1986/1987. First production run for 1990 cars rolled off the production line in February of 1989. My Z32 was one of the first imported to California. You two did a great job tearing down into it. It’s a vehicle known to turn owners into mechanics because of current shop rates. Keep up the quality content! Only vehicle I think the flying sparks garage is missing is a C6 Z06.

[@kenmay4468]

now its time to get the boat ready for spring its coming up faster than you think

[@zymmer4]

I like your choice of fill music here.

[@mikemullay5622]

I LOVE the sound of rain on a tin roof! And I have been watching your videos since forever. Way back when David Madeira taught Emily how to drive a three on the tree on a red and white Ford Ranchero, and probably earlier than that.

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Awwww!! Yes sir!!! That was quite a fun trip, wasn’t it?!

[@westtexas5754]

Aaron. It is NOT boring watching you rebuild electrical connectors! I would enjoy watching you do an example of each of the different types of electrical connectors on an LS engine. Thanks.

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Noted! Sure appreciate you!!

[@jimhaines8370]

Love seeing the fur-baby we just lost ours makes me happy seeing your healthy

[@Bum_Hip]

Not surprised you guys got that crazy cool Z running at all. Never underestimate smart, motivated, hard working enthusiasts. Great job guys!

[@dontulett2255]

Can't wait to watch you change the timing belt. Man, that sounds geeky.

[@billbass2771]

Y’all worked hard on that car and it runs good be proud

[@kevinl8350]

I had no doubt that you would get it running. You guy’s are great, sucks about that camera accidents happen.

[@unclenuke09]

Great episode, love this car.

[@Slman51]

I'm impressed by the patience you guys had/have!!

[@jerrywilcox9890]

Funny the dogs just laying on the car hahaha.

[@agentcrm]

Hugs to Emily. Those camera's are semi weather sealed, so you should be lucky. Just send it in to get it cleaned & repaired. As well as remembering to use the tripod. Great work on the Z Aaron. Those injector plugs can be depinned, but they're a pain without the right pin.

[@mikemullay5622]

Congratulations! It's alive!!

[@R-Bizzle34]

Bring back the Bayliner!! Love the content guys!

[@flyingsparksgarage]

You have a lot to look forward to this year!!! 🥰💪🏼

[@doughamm5590]

Awesome job as always young'ns

[@Savannahjbo]

as a long time Z enthusiast in Savannah Ga, Im lucky to be able to drive up to Z1 Motorsports and have been buy from them for years and years.. great company, they def help to take out any of the guess work when needing z parts.. also email you guys a link to all the z manuals and info from when I was apart of our local Z club..

[@ksokie63]

Hey Emily and Aaron👋, sounds good. Thanks for sharing the video. See you on the next one. 👋

[@million2be]

Awesome job and congratulations on getting it running. There are some rubber hoses behind the water pump that are probably leaking. So when you do the timing belt you can replace those.

[@stubby4317]

Listening to Aaron about the torque values reminded me of a recent experience on a continental aircraft engine. It was all inch pounds! That was a change up from what I'm used to! Glad you have it running.

[@WoodyWorkshop-31A]

Love it! When you get it running reliably, you'll have to take both Z cars out to the drag strip and find out which one is faster.

[@geraldwalker2209]

BIG WIN

[@JUNKEdDudek]

Thank you so. Much for another amazing video!

[@davestewart9146]

Huge accomplishment, this is awesome 😁👍❤️

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Thank you so much 😁

[@tjjewell4115]

Fantastic job Aaron and Emily, glad to see it running again, great Video.

[@alvinpowell6189]

Impressive!!! That was an intimidating job and you 2 did it!! I especially liked your wiring plug changing. Very informative! Awesome job guys, and never worry about your videography, the videos are always watchable and entertaining! Rock on!!

[@jeremyspafford2520]

To be honest guys I think the quality of the I phone video looks as good if not better. Another awesome video as always 😊

[@christopherhowe2956]

I'd like to encourage you to bring both z-cars to Branson Zfest the week after memorial day. It's a really laid back event, family friendly . Hope to Z-ya there.

[@larrydavidson3402]

Congrats on getting it running. That is not a project I could do, much to complicated. I love Finley, he sure is content to be in the garage with you two and you really don't know he's around as there is no barking or anything. Good little dog.

[@jeremyb4493]

Look like the same injector setup as my old 2.4 '93 Altima. Those screw heads seemed like they were made from warm butter and could easily strip when seized and made it tough to get them loosened, but it was so satisfying to hear that 'crack' sound once they broke loose. Love the blues guitar riffs btw

[@donlandenberg8126]

Sorry to hear about your accident.. Glad no cats were harmed in the making of this video. LOL Thanks for sharing with us.

[@timglass6041]

I Love the Cats, would like to see more video of them.

[@user-cx5sl2et1b]

Cut off a long piece of fuel hose that will fit over the spark plug insulater , firmly ! Works good on hot engines and deep areas to remove spark plugs ! Yes let it cool down first before you start , preferably when it is cold , but sometimes you just have to remove and go because of time issues !

[@philgrimsey3637]

Cars for me are now transportation for my family and I. I get the fix of working on them here as i used to love doing it. Thanks you two ❤

[@alfgundersen1058]

hello to you two beautiful people it's so true we all make mistakes it's what makes us human it's ok to be sad that you've made a mistake but you mustn't get mad at yourself. thank you for being who you are

[@flyingsparksgarage]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@troyclawson5677]

Good job gave a blessed week!

[@jamesmallinger9555]

I'm glad to see you guys working on that paper weight and getting it to run again,❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all and your critters

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Man! The struggle is real! You guys have a million times more patience than I would have with that car. It seems like everything on it is a knock down drag out fight to the death. Part of it is the over complicated design, and part of it is how crispy everything gets over time. All of those hoses, wires, and corroded connections. WOW! What a nightmare. So sorry about your camera. That really sucks. Stuff happens. Great video! Great job of sticking with it. Well done!

[@rudiekeyser2495]

Aaron, Emily I'm enjoying your work and love you guys. Have a good one, keep safe. Cheers Cape town 🇿🇦👌🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@ramblersforever]

You both work well together. I don’t do so well when working with my better half. 😂 Keep the videos coming.

[@shanewright6958]

Great job. Another good one 👍👍

[@chappy5538]

Glad you got it running great job

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Thanks 👍

[@tommyjefferson9525]

I hear a vacuum leak in their guys you need to check that really good cuz that would make it run even better

[@glennarnold3970]

doing the cam belt is a chore on these another thing is the engine harness even replacing the plugs on it is borrowed time the wires get hard and brittle and the green crusties go into the wire sooner or later you will need to replace the engine harness wiring specialties make a replacement harness you might need to look into it but love the build cheers from down under

[@HOTHUDSON54]

Sure sounds like the rain had a bunch of hail inbedded too! Being a bit east of me I am glad your working in a well sealed garage. Hail on my tin roof sounds exactly the same. Your kitten troupe is much like the four that a feral mamma cat depostited under my shed. The four ventrue out until they see me and then they scatter back beneith the shed. Hoping Momma Cat has plans to move them to someplace else. Keep wrenching.

[@Mikewillys]

Great job guys ! Love your content!!!

[@md4droid]

Time to release the "Sparken". lol Great video, guys. So glad to see more work on the 300. I caught some of the live, but was working, so... Can't wait for the next one.

[@Danman1972]

Being that its a Japanese car are those screws JIS? Working on old bikes all the "phillips" head screws were stripping out. I didn't actually know that it was not standard and the JIS screwdrivers have a different angle on them. That and a hammer manual impact is a life saver.

[@danfrombam]

Glad you guys are happy about this one. Keep up the great work and positive attitude. Thanks for sharing.

[@randyrogerson6552]

Congratulations on getting her running I am convinced you both are good mechanics you both are good together watching your show all the time I am retired now but I turned wrenches and drove over the road Truck between the two for over 40 years things have changed so much now I could not change the spark plugs, my hat goes off to both of you 🎉🎉🎉

[@scottscott4897]

Congrats!! No chance I'd dig into something like that. And you're about to have another spot back in the shop! So much fun to see you two working together. Thanks for the vids!

[@JWW60]

Im really looking forward to you guy starting on the 57 chevy.

[@aslmx1918]

That puppy is killing me. 😂

[@ezinatx]

Freshly oiled camera for sale. One of a kind!

[@Runningwrecks]

Yeeeeeesss! I’ve been waiting to see the Zee car run since I met y’all in Pensacola on Power Tour. Good job and thanx for sharing!

[@bobbolieu9013]

I had a Buick V6 that only liked a thin stripe from porcelain to seat. If I put Antiseaze the whole length of the threads they worked loose. I have an '83 Ram D100 225 ci that wants the full thread with Antiseaze. They tightened nicely, yet released with just a snug turn of the ratchet to loosen. Buick was Aluminum Ram is Cast Iron

[@josephvantreeck2989]

thanks you two!

[@stevenkopec5266]

Congrats you two. I did the same darn thing to my 1990TT last summer. I kept all of the PCV and throttle body coolant lines original. What a pain to reinstall everything by oneself but it went back together. All electrical connections were corroded like yours were. I upgraded to the new style injectors so I could use any formulation of high octane fuel. Don’t forget the clean out the PTU harness connections. You haven’t seen green corrosion until you pull that harness apart. A litttle sand paper and dielectric grease does wonders.

[@justinwatch]

The best way to get those injector screws out is to use vinyl lined velvet cotton gloves with textured finger ends. Use a brass punch. Never use hardened steel. You could break the injectors or worst case scenario, get your hair caught in the creeper wheels.

[@dogman490]

Thanks for a great video.

[@bronco5644]

Good work on getting it running again!

[@leeforst5069]

Impressive work, that engine compartment had me scared for sure. Love the methodical way you go about problem solving keep up the good work and trust you will keep the videos coming.

[@mattfritch6375]

I really like your classic Z but this generation 300ZX TT is a cool addition to the fleet for sure.
