Default Z33 Garage Repair and Mod Video Series

Greetings Gents,

I figured I would change my name to reflect my Youtube Channel. So thanks Mods! (go7roo7 was my old SN)

I started my Z33Garage series as a form to teach others how to repair their Zs should they choose to do so. I am trying to expand and perhaps acquire the support of some sponsors so I can actually start showing more "Mod" style videos as well as regular maintenance videos for the Z. Please sub to my page and like my videos as that helps me gather more parts for future install videos. Perhaps the mods would like to sticky this as a video guide for others to quickly see.

Thanks!

Perfect timing with a lot of this.
If I'm reading you correctly, as I should be ordering a Torque Solutions poly mount for the transmission next week

Just watching your shocks video now, last week I popped on some Tein S springs and I'm just awaiting my Bilstein B6's now.
I'll link your channel up on the UK forum as well.

Thank you! Please post a link here once the UK one is made!

Yes you read me right, the Poly mount not only is easy to install but it seems to add 2 more cylinders to the VQ

I am going to post the poly ,mount install soon as I am literally now editing it

Just watched that, and just about to buy a mount for my car.
What do you think of the new mount you popped on ?

I had the Torque Solution transmission mount installed on Saturday.
WOW - the gear shift feeling is absolutely brilliant, it feels directly connected now.
The only thing I'm not so keen on is the amount of transmission whine I can hear in the cabin now, my exhaust is ridiculous anyway so it drowns it out but I've lost some of exhaust inside.
Oh well, it's not a daily drive, just a fun back roads car.

I got used to the transmission noise, it only took about 2 or 3 days. I daily the Z so I had better get used to the noise. That just means now you need a louder exhaust

What's coming up next ?

I've got rear camber arms/lockout washers (waiting for delivery), then I can hopefully finish off the geo.
I'm trying to fabricate a RHD master brake cylinder brace (only you guys in LHD have them), and also going to install vibra-technics engine mounts.

Well right now I dont really have funds to splurge on the Z, so I will film repairs / installs as I get funding for them.

I am willing to do videos on sponsor parts but I dont know how to even begin with that...

Hah yes I am largely in the same boat with funds

I was thinking about brake ducts, very cheap and useful addition to fabricate.

Fantastic !
I know there are quite a few threads here, certainly a worthwhile addition to our cars.

And you could always do a 200 part series on an engine tuck

Well, it wouldn't cost anything right ?
Just about 1 billions hours of chopping up wires.
