Two Easy 240sx Upgrades that Look SICK!

Rather minor "mods" if you even want to call them that, but I've been looking forward to getting Nicole some good brakes for a while now - end result looks great! I also finally installed my new valve cover from Colorado. FIRE SALE ON ZIP UPS AND PULLOVERS - LZMFG.COM
Didn't mention it in this video, but I decided against CTSV calipers on her car because of fitment issues. Little did I know that Z32 calipers would have the same problem if not worse... You live and you learn!

[@AdamLZ]

Regarding the loose studs... For some reason they don't fit well in those hubs (they are brand new studs). Alberto had tac welded them, but most of the tac welds broke. I have other hubs, but they're at the warehouse so I was planning on getting those another day!

[@charliebyrne1803]

Leave valve cover the way it is!!!

[@mandowhite445]

Adam LZ ohh ok.... leave the value cover how it is... it cool and it's would mean more...

[@audunburns6270]

Adam LZ I was going to say "give it away, sign it," but then I remembered all of the weird broken or replaced parts I have for my car and how much I was told to get rid of them and didn't listen. Like how do I so easily get rid of the rock that say behind my driver's side headlight for 6 months until I got a new set of headlight assemblies..... True story, and my god was it a real talking point whenever I showed someone my car

[@gavinhurley4718]

Adam LZ hey you should keep your valve cover and hang it on your wall

[@sutipd4973]

Can't wait for you guys to go to japan again,really interested in the chaser.

You need a greddy intake manifold. That will clean up your engine bay so much!

[@AdamLZ]

They sacrifice low end torque for high flow HP. I agree, but I'm actually trying to shift my power curve down lower - so much so that I'm actually going to go back to stock cams.

I'm almost 29yrs old and I enjoy watching your channel along with haggard, ricermiata, gingium, jimmy oaks and others, the point is all of you have one thing in common you like working on cars and I wish I had friends like that.

[@kristang26]

At the start: "Z32 brake swaps are child's play" At the end: "Z32 brakes are annoying and make wheel choice difficult" You spoke too soon.

[@bearto4703]

leave the valve cover weathered, it makes it way more aesthetically pleasing

[@timmajor3129]

Dude you have come so far. From just a kid thrashing the streets and the park to a full blown massive company and an awesome house with all the toys. It's been sick watching you on your journey.

[@noxious89123]

You need to put the valve cover seal into the groove in the valve cover, if you just lay it on the head and put the cover on top there is a good chance the seal won't sit in the groove and will just be squashed or pinched; then you'll have an oil leak that could cause a fire. If it keeps falling out of the groove when you're fitting it, just use a few spots of sealant to stick it to the cover.

[@Sam-qu7jx]

I agree with Nicole about the valve cover. But instead of giving it away, make a display for it on top of the garage tool doors

[@floridafenceland1137]

Studs are not supposed to be loose like that.. shoulda at least tapped them back in from behind, not good, valve cover looks killer though

[@menyus711]

I like how it looks now, it has a lot of stories to tell and the patina makes it unique!

[@gergelypetrilla1793]

alberto has bags under his eyes... this good becuz he ovbiusly changing the e36 engine and we will get a video. respect man

[@JQ_Unity]

should rebuild the q45 calipers. They don't look as nice as z32 but I can tell you from my car, rebuilt old q45 calipers all painted up look decent and stop awesome, just as good as z32 in terms of raw stopping force. Plus they fit with any wheels pretty much

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

Adam Humble i agree all the brake force of z32, and way easier to fit wheels without caliper clearance issues.

[@T300Y]

Shout out to Big Boost and Adam always putting out good videos 🤗

[@eddyrivera6875]

he gonna hit that 😤

[@babababutler]

Do a collab!

[@ModernNinja94]

Lubricated threads transfer torque from rotational to clamping much better, so the 100ft lbs you put on the nut can act like 150 or 200 with lubrication. You can stretch studs much easier than you think and cause a failure.

[@alexisbutterline141]

So awsome to see Adams transition of sucsess from a kid to now its crazy glad to see your doing so good in life and keeping us fans with you the whole ride with you keep it up man congrats on the maridge

[@Tomtombong]

No don’t clean it it’ll wreck it

[@rileenolan2823]

You have to leave the valve cover weathered. Repainting it would get rid of the aesthetic and its history

[@katanamd]

I like how there was oil by the plug indicating a bad gasket and it alarms you, yet you keep the old gasket.

[@Menalopolis]

That thread tip is so helpful tbh I never thought of why every time I took off lug nuts they ended up a little rusty

[@devanwxyz]

HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS CHRISTMAS This is like my dream garage with those cars 😤😤

[@procam448]

[@RamblinGarage]

Adam - most auto part stores have some razor blade tools that make it way easier to remove RTV and gasket maker. Just an FYI. Good luck!

[@caidenchandler3772]

Hey Adam i know your probably super busy and won't see this buy you need to keep your valve cover for your self it's something special and meaningful to you! Fellow fans please like this to get it to the top so he will possibly see this

[@deadm00n40]

I think you mounted the rotors the wrong way. You have the right ones on the left side and the left ones on the right. The slices on the rotors should look like a sawblade. It's no big deal but just for next time.

[@lukeduffy3730]

It all depends on the veins on the inside, you want the air (for cooling) to pull from the centre if it's on backwards it will cook the rotor because the veins won't pull the air through

[@deadm00n40]

Luke Duffy yeah I saw that. That's why I said it's no big deal. It's just better for cleaning the pads.

[@TheMilkman04]

Leave it and sign it

[@ryancoughlin412]

PBM is probably the only manufacturer on the market who would advise that. While big boost isn't wrong about it assisting in a stuck wheel situation, or frozen lug situation, the thin amount of never seize used still throws off the clamping force rating that goes hand in hand with an OEM Torque specification. And here I was thinking this TIA certification was never going to be useful in conversation. 😅

[@nicoludden4912]

That new cover really ties in the "cream theme" keep up the great vids! Lovin' what you're doing.

[@dezirex3032]

Leave it! It has history u know

[@ethanholmes5554]

I’m so excited to turn 16 so I can get a car but I forget that my parents don’t have a garage

[@nikolastresner9912]

Definitely leave it weathered, it tells the story of that car and motor

Did anybody else see that one wheel stud just flop? Should probably fix that lol

[@niilo191]

didn´t alberto fix those wigly wheelstuds?

[@Dannyyzeee]

adam you better be getting paid well. I just watched a 30 sec ad with no skip button. i dont mind as long as youre cashing out

[@Leowiseone]

I love it how the old valve cover was nice material valve covers not like today all plastic stuff..

[@mgmcgregorross69]

DADAM LZ BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER VIDEO

[@iTzKomplett]

4:16 does anyone know if spacers like these will damage the wheel bearings, or the spacers that you tighten down like the black one he had

[@seanrafferty2178]

RifleRud why would they damage the bearing? Shouldnt have any impact on the bearing!

[@iTzKomplett]

Sean Rafferty will it damage anything at all, here in my country these spacers are kinda hated

[@dadadadankable]

I'm all for spacers if they're safe. I run 2 1/2 inch spacers on my truck for over 2 years. Checking them once a month and have no issues. But non hub centric, non bolt on thread spacers are hella dangerous. That's sketchy for you Adam, but you take that risk. I'm shocked you'd put those on her car.

[@kallumeastwick1870]

240sx looking fine as always

[@Brandon_mcwilliams316]

are you guys going to go put pa pittsburgh

[@NewtMedia]

They really need to make a trip up here!

[@zxKrookedxz]

if you giveaway that valve cover im putting it on my sr

[@mdsmit7031]

Hi Adam I personally think you should sign it as Nicole suggested and spray clear over it as is, think the wear on it is iconic as it comes a long way with you enjoy :)

[@Skormzee]

anti seize will also help slow down mixed metal corrosion between alloy lug-nuts on steel studs ... can be quite dangerous if the lug nuts are not often removed

[@roylogan51298]

Don't touch the value cover leave it dirty

[@brannvall97]

These NUTS, gottem

[@FuckingTryMe]

I agree with Nicole! Leave it as it is Adam and sign it. Would be a rad little giveaway

[@benjz3693]

Love watching Adams vids coz for people who don't know a lot about cars can actually learn something instead of watching boring how to"s an stuff

[@Nickcbiggs1997]

Leave ittttttt weathered man more sentimental

[@biddyjackson9465]

Who else loves alberto

[@infraiw]

you should paint the nuts and washers for the rocket cover the same brown as the engine bay, they will stand out more and look nice

[@coltonolynyk4284]

Regarding the anti seize on the wheel studs, you really should not put any form of lubrication on them because the oem torque specs are based off of a dry clean bolt. When you put anti seize on, it makes the bolt easier to turn and thus doesn't need as much torque to be tightened to the same degree. Over torquing of bolts can cause the metal to stretch, over time reducing its ability to be tightened properly, and in some cases causing the bolt to snap. Probably not a huge deal for slight amounts of over torquing but it is not common practice to do so.

[@partyanimal8851]

Nice shoutout to Emilia Hartford !! Don't be a hater like TJ

4 doors for more whores.

[@rikkografi]

Do you get an extra rear seat with 4 doors? Lol

[@ophbmystik]

Rick Chrisiansson no you tend to get more doors though

[@machomemo]

Leave the cover as is, don't even clean it. It tells a story. Just sign it. Great video btw

[@seabassvlogs3011]

Keep the valve cover war torn and weathered! It has amazing story’s to tell with it!

[@destin6041]

Valve cover looked better red

[@MetavationHub]

S4S?

[@Mrbassaddiction]

it doesnt fit with the rest of the engine bay tho imo, i like the cream one a lot more!

[@TyRoxYaMan]

Cream valve cover looks super sick great job painting it Adam!!!!

[@iTzCHADv1]

na

[@RandomScooterStuff]

Adam didnt paint it ?

[@Boosker]

Paint the valve cover green, and give it away.

[@aarontimm]

no

[@kevinc9934]

Adam you're suppose to put the gasket on the valve cover and then put it down onto the head lol. Cover looks awesome though!. You should put a light bulb socket onto the valve cover and mount it on the wall as a lamp :)

[@Lmmolsen]

@2:27 Caster rod's "locknut" (dont know what it is called) is not screwed towards the adjust part... I know that as long as it locked in just one end it won't adjust itself. But it makes it stronger when it is tighten in both ends.

[@kal1mm]

Red cover looks better

[@spike4850]

KAL 1 ayyy Kal what’s up - btw I aspire to be like you.

[@Patukassi]

What are you doing in the bed 😏

[@AusNitro]

i think you should keep it for yourself adam cause its been with you for ever! and clean it up and hang it on the wall also u need a greddy intake to clean up your engine bay!!!!

[@clbavier]

I think you should do a clear coat over your old valve cover. It would preserve the weathered/worn look.

[@CR0GERS]

The s15 already looks good af cause the wheels!😍

[@JAVIERG813]

Please do a video on how the hood goes all the way up!

[@darkvailedassasin]

Antisease and greese ur suposed to but on them so it doesnt sease on there, if u dont change them often and daily drive to long then they sease on there or can and if they do u either use the torch method or grinder method and cut off stud or haft to use a impact gun also they can sease and when u go to take them off the threads on studs wear off or can get damaged or can snap and then haft to be replaced

The valve cover giveaway would be pretty awesome I think it should just be left the way it is and signed by Adam

[@matthewwheeler1833]

Hey Adam my name is Matt I am fourteen and I am really interested in drifting and some bmx and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the videos and also your outlook on life how you always find humor and never lose hope or confidence. And by the way I love the cars (my dads always been a mechanic) and you should keep the valve cover how it is and give it to me 😉 (reply for contact info)

[@matthewwheeler1833]

And if you give it away please do it by comments or something not by purchase like haggard does

[@bnn9912]

The new valve cover is so sick! I personally think you should keep the valve cover for yourself because I see it as having been with you essentially since you started drifting, and I know it'd be hard to get rid of it. Regardless of what you decide to do with it, I'm personally of the opinion that you should leave it as is (aside from maybe cleaning some of the grime off) to preserve its history.

[@midget9998]

That coil pack cover would look good in the same color as the engine bay, the grey/silver looks out of place now, with the cream valve cover.

[@milaskilathelab]

That Mini Cooper S never sees the light of day anymore I swear lol

[@a1tb611]

If you give the valve cover away i would love for you to keep it how it is and sign it, me personally if i won would love to keep it up on display and one day if i get a 240 put it in, it has so much meaning and history it would be really cool to leave it how it is

[@Z32orDIe]

@09:07 nivole is correct. Leave it how it is. Even run some clear over its current condition. Them battle scars make it worth what its worth. Otherwise its just a plain old shiney valve cover.

[@korbynjohnson8689]

I just bought merch from your store for the first time! I'm so excited:):):)

[@illestnwk]

You & Jimmy O stay working on brakes in the vlogs LOL xD

[@superkawaii1803]

Adam, I think you'll find that the spacing out the r32 brakes will not give you much more room. You'll need to find wheels with around 25-30mm of brake clearance to fit. Learn from my experience of fitting 80's SSR reverse mesh onto a 5 stud swapped 180sx.

[@silvercivic2287]

New valve cover looks awesome, also the jam nut on the tension rod looks like it backed off, might wanna double check that!!
