Today on The Skid Factory we head down to see our mate Kye from AHT Performance to get Mark's 1986 H252 Nissan President tuned. It's not a high powered vehicle but it still requires a good tune to maximise both power delivery and Fuel Efficiency.

I'm having trouble with my misses subaru do you boy's know any suby boy's around Ipswich I'm really struggling I'm a crossflow nut so it's not making sense to my ancient brain

[@Dunnies_life]

Try racing evolution in Yamanto

[@BarrelBros]

Just picked it up this arvo and it's running so much better! I can actually pull out and pass people on the freeway! And it runs beautifully on petrol rather than Nasi Goreng.

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

could it be that maybe other drivers are slowing down to see your sweet wheels in astonishment?

[@Ripply774]

I came over to barrel brothers from tsf. Love the vids great character

[@BarrelBros]

[@gti5700]

That's a cool car bro

[@BarrelBros]

@@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything Hadn't thought of that.

[@aSinisterKiid]

It's not always about speed and racecar stuff. This car is cool as hell and making it run proper is just as fun as making another car fast. Brilliant learning stuff about the older cars.

[@notoioudmanboy]

For the wiring diagrams just download google translate and point your camera at the writing. It does Japanese really well.

[@twinshock175]

Google Lens, just tried it for the first time, amazing, thanks!

[@CrusinVK]

+1 Al & Woody. Get the young fellas to download it for you :).... Google translate is SUPER easy to use, and pretty accurate

[@JTmoto]

Oh lawd, going to try this on my cars manual as its in japanese, thanks!

[@notoioudmanboy]

@@JTmoto No Worries, Saved me heaps of trouble in Japan. Made it heaps easier to find those used school girl panties in a vending machine.

[@FixTechStuff]

Yeah, I can attest to that from travelling overseas and Chinese speed controllers etc. But to be fair that cars wiring diagram would probably be the worst of the worst.

[@DangerDaveMurray]

Al's got the Rob Halford vibes with the driving gloves and chauffeur cap, haha. Also shouts out to Barrel Bros and Mark, legends, plus the pointer finger is excellent

[@TurboDog73TX]

The synth track by Al's son is quite excellent.. He should be the official music provider for Skid Factory!

[@victorbitter583]

It must be good because I didn't notice it, therefore it did not annoy the shit outta me.

[@jodyknight]

@@victorbitter583 good point

[@craigbomer8962]

Reminds me of my 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria. It has an EFI 5.0 V8 that makes something like 140 horsepower. It's butter-smooth but struggles above 70 mph.

[@Masterfab93]

I met a guy who has one of these he bought at an auction without an engine or transmission. He ended up swapping in a built small block Ford and a c4 transmission with about 400 hp. Said it's a lot of fun to drive back and forth to Atlanta when he picks up his customers and friends when they come to town. It's the only one I currently know of in the south east US. He runs a Holly dominator setup but it still has all of the factory amenities.

[@seanwalker9904]

With the hat and gloves Al, looking like a member of Village People cover band. :)

“Operate properly, [tyres hit guards], most of the time” 😂😎 I love it!!!!

[@twinshock175]

Yesterday I saw an old Cressida from the same era at a panel beaters, some old dear trying to get an indicator lens replaced. Immediately thought of THIS car as the old luxo beasts are now a rarity, still had the old style rego plates too from the day. Nice job boys, sounds like Mark loves it already.

[@hondacota4rt]

I think it would be time again for a MCM - Skidfactory build. Marty should build a nugget with Al and Woody, and Moog make a soundtrack with Al's kiddo.

[@olliewebbuk]

The older Marty gets, the more he starts to look like Al.

[@fatborry]

Watched the ads, liked and commented for the all powering yodagorithm. Another mint job blokes 👌🏼

[@craigdavies8099]

check

[@jodyknight]

I love the "all powering yodagorithm" comment because it is the Al powered yodagorithm that works so well

[@mantravision69]

is it my imagination, or is Al less grumpy these days? He seems very happy and relaxed

[@jimclarke1108]

Cool dude in the back of the limo

[@aaronfischer7199]

Love this vjayo. To teach the peeps on peak and hold to saturation injectors. 1.4 ohm with a ballast resistor. Vs a 12/14 ohm injectors operation. Pwm was done with load resistance. Now it its is done with current by voltage modulation. Back in the day a transistor was only capable of only miliamps of switching current. Now with IGBT's. 100's. Of amps can be switched with in milliseconds with out creating detrimental heat. Three phase DC convertors,modern TIG welders, and er, umm, the Prius. Wouldn't be possible. Isn't. It amazing that an Australiaian electronics company can use such devices to create. The nexus series of ECU's.

[@katinthekrap00]

Wheel scrub legends !! Thank you for the laughs 🤣🤣🤣

[@Dropbear237]

9:15, looks like it's doing a burnout on a hub dyno. LOL

[@steveblackbird5174]

Gorgeous Car but for real... parts wise would be painful. 130hp ATW is fine..... she's a long cruiser and much like the old school Crowns and Cressida's they wallowed around cossetting their passengers.. and that's what they did well at.... I'd love a Toyota Century V8 or V12... just love the idea of a solid Japanese Cruiser that says ... F-Off....! Love the series on this beast, and the channel all the way!!! Big cheers from Syd!!

[@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641]

Al is a loathsome beast of a man...yet, it's impossible to look away 😳

[@MikeHarris1984]

Back Seat Tuners... Would have been hilarious if they were singing as tuners while tuning in the back seat!!

[@skinfull]

Big V8, tiny power figure, just like my old MG used to have! Great episode guys

[@MarslandMotorsport]

Never stop learning ❤️

[@alexandrahappy2649]

The President is proof that a car needn't have 800hp or do 0-60 in 3 seconds to be cool. A classic old school luxury sedan.

[@pickelteets]

For the AL...gorithm...

[@Danger_mouse]

Great to hear Kye's tuning stratagy out on the highway for the drivability part of the tune. I'm just an old mechanic, but it was something I spent a LOT of time on way back when I had my 910 Bluebird Rally car. I raced the car, obviously, but I also drove it every day on the road to work and at other times. It was important to me to drive like a normal car when it wasn't racing 👍 Don't know how many hours I spent adding timing, pulling fuel, chasing pyro temps etc, but the end result was a car that did indeed drive like a factory engine, but could also often beat the slower 4wd turbos in events we did, despite being only 2WD👌 Z18ET - Haltech E6

[@Adscam]

I would like to hear Kye’s explanation of “Actually it’s called pumping loss”.

[@jodyknight]

@@Adscam I'll ask him to mansplain it for you then...slowly seeing as you're not an Aussie HT

Yes to the blower, and maybe some engine bay sound deadening to preserver the presidential experience. Also for sure needs to have that scraping treated, that's definitely not very presidential :D

[@CoachDAReid]

So, I know that N/A is hard, but what could be done to improve this old warhorse short of forced induction? Would you have to tear the whole engine down and get some sort of better shaped pistons? A different head? How much of a copy of the SBC might this be? Close enough that small block Chev bits would fit?

[@michaelreynolds1904]

Such a late 80's GM/Cadillac front end on that thing.

Just a small tip for kanji sings. Use the google translate function with your mobile. It has an option to take pictures and translate out of the picture. Worked out pretty well when I used it.
