Rebuilding + driving the cursed S15…

**Upcoming Black Friday Deals**

We're excited to announce that Black Friday is just around the corner! To get ready for this year's biggest deals, we've started working on our lists and lining up some incredible discounts. If you're interested in purchasing a turbo kit setup, including fuel components like injectors, we can offer significant savings. Our catalog includes everything from Ecu Master products to PRP coolers, IRP NRG, PMc Cnc 71 Destroyer die, and more. The bigger your list, the more we'll be able to knock off for you. Send us your lists now at blackfridaydrift.com, and we'll ensure you're one of the first to take advantage of these amazing deals.

**Car Wrapping Progress**

We've made some progress on our car wrapping project, focusing on the fenders and fiberglass parts. However, we're still debating whether or not to swap out my front core. Since the bumper doesn't fit properly, we might try swapping it out for a better fit. We also had a leftover LED kit from one of our previous cars, which will be repurposed for this project.

**Underglow and Lighting**

To add some extra flair to our car's appearance, we've decided to install underglow for the first time in years. As part of this process, we've recognized that we need to find a new bumper that fits better than the current one. We'll mix and match parts to create a unique look that enhances the front end.

**New Wing and Trunk Wing**

We're excited to showcase our brand-new DMS wing on our S15, which looks stunning in person! We've also found an extra trunk wing from our FD car, which will be repainted before being installed. This addition will add some much-needed flair to the rear of our car.

**The First Car Start**

With the help of Mike and Yohan, we were able to complete the first start-up process of our new S15. We've checked for any leaks and ensured that everything is functioning properly, including fuel pressure, oil pressure, and more. Since the motor turns over easily, it's clear that the engine is healthy.

**Bed-In Procedure**

To ensure that the rings are properly seated in the engine, we'll be conducting a bed-in procedure on the dyno tomorrow morning. This process involves varying loads to help settle the rings, which will give us a better understanding of the engine's performance. We're looking forward to seeing how it runs and making any necessary adjustments.

**The Car's Condition**

After being damaged in an accident, our S15 needed significant repairs before we could start working on it again. The good news is that all the damage has been fixed, including a scratched door and ripped fender. With this setback behind us, we're now focusing on bringing out the best performance from this car.

**Tuning Plans**

We've decided to wire in additional sensors for better monitoring and control of our S15's systems. We'll be using an older Health Tech ECU that came with another car, which Martin has experience tuning. This setup will give us more flexibility and insights into the engine's performance, allowing us to make adjustments as needed.

**The Next Steps**

Our next step is to take this S15 out for a spin and monitor its performance on the dyno tomorrow morning. With our bed-in procedure complete, we're eager to see how it runs and make any necessary changes to optimize its performance. Stay tuned for more updates from Drift HQ!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enmorning guys and welcome to another video where i continually obsess over how good the weather is in florida just because of fact usually i'm on the other end of the spectrum telling you how much i hate it here it's beautiful i took yesterday off filming i like bit my tongue so bad that i couldn't talk without a list still kind of there a little bit so if i talk funny today give me a break yesterday i took some time and finally got the toader listed uh the guys cleaned this thing out and it is the best that it has looked probably in the full three seasons of fd that we've used it it's pretty cool um i am going to miss this thing dearly but since i won't be needing it for fd next year i can't see a time or a place where we would choose to take the toter home over say like a two-car enclosed trailer just because you have to travel so much slower and it's so much harder to get around if you're trying to like park at a hotel or something the blitz giveaway is officially over i believe we will have a winner drawn in about two weeks uh usually it just takes time for the company that handles the sweepstakes to gather up all the entries and now we've got our work cut out for us sending out all your guys orders the guy's been crushing to get your guys orders out i want to give a massive thank you to all of you guys who have ordered stuff and i'm excited to hear what you guys think about everything that you got one of the things that is key when we are doing big sweepstakes and drops is being able to get orders out quickly and ship station comes in key you guys know shipstation has been sponsoring my videos for a while and we've actually been using chipstation for years before that what it does is it imports all your orders from all your different sales channels funnels them into one system that lets you compare rates from all the major shipping carriers and leverages their fortune 500 discounts so you can get the best rates and you can use their simple software to ship stuff out faster than you'd ever imagine you can create rules and things on the back end that make your life easier and going into the holiday season where a lot of companies that i know you guys might have or companies you work for get larger than average order volume being able to manage those orders efficiently is key and shipstation will make your life a lot easier changing your shipping solution may seem daunting before the holiday season but i can assure you it's very easy to set up and you will be thankful that you did it believe it or not 98 of companies that switch over to ship station keep using it forever including us and hopefully you guys too i want to thank ship station for sponsoring this video and for giving me a 60 day free trial that i'm allowed to pass on to you guys by clicking the link in the description it is shipstation.comlz and those 60 days free should be just enough for you guys to handle the holiday rush i hope you enjoy it now go make ship happen i know mike's already been filming some with johann over here on this sr and i will say one of the things that i was surprised about more than anything when you were cleaning that crank how much debris can get stuck inside of it yeah it was bad a lot of like old oil build up so not necessarily bad thing it's just like it never got clean one of the journals or the channels on the oil passage it had like aluminum in it and obviously it's kind of an obvious thing that you should take apart and clean an engine when it blows up or has some sort of catastrophic failure but i had no idea that so much metal could get lodged inside of a tiny little hole in the crank and that would make sense why there were some weird kind of scoring patterns on the bearings because all this was flying out of the crank at the same time tools like what happened to the engine is not even related to anything that we found when we were cleaning it it was more like something freak happened fell in the engine and messed it up but i said that would not happen then eventually all that metal or that aluminum that i found on the crank it would have gone through the system and eventually like just damaged the bearing so it's kind of a good thing that that happened and forced us to take apart the engine in a way yeah otherwise we probably would have had an issue farther down the road so it's better now that we'll be starting fresh we got the block back we were looking online for bearing clearances of the nissan uh fsm book so like oem clearances i measure the crank and it's over two inches and therefore every inch of the size of the journals or the crank on the mains it requires thousands of uh oil clearances and when we use the plastic gauge we don't have the other the better tools to do this it puts us right at 2 000 reading on the crank so like you put that down and then you measure each one and then it gives us the clearance so now that we got that square away we could i mean take it all out again clean all the bearings all that stuff it has assembly lube on it and i want to just start fresh because i took on and off the caps multiple times to make sure that the clearances were good and that requires each time to torque everything down remove it so if something does or something fell on it i want it to be clean for final assembly foreign well hello there it's honestly great that uh the weather's been nice out for the past two days we've had no internet it came back but it's like such a tease because we have i think it's a half a megabyte per second down and like uh maybe like a third of a megabyte per second up so it's basically useless when we have like 20 people trying to use the same wi-fi so our new office has been outside using phone with what very little cell phone service we have so if i haven't responded to your email please don't be mad at me blame the compound we're doing the rods now bit one and four uh just to show you this is three i mean two and three so this best calls for two thousands or four thousands uh and we are in the middle at three thousands we all spend that over on both this one's kind of effie because i wanna move the rod took the cap off i spun it so that's why it looks weird so now i'll clean that off put some assembly lube on it work this down spin the motor make sure everything is happy and uh made look through here and make sure nothing fell in and then we could start assembling the rest of the motor put the head on the gasket front cover all that stuff on there one of the things that always drove me nuts about this car when you look at it from an angle even though this wrap came out amazing and like the finish is really good on it you see all the waves from the fiberglass panel so ray is going to come by tomorrow and he's actually going to do a little bit more intensive body work to both the rear quarters and then these doors um so hopefully it won't have all the waves in them the color that it's going to be hopefully won't show the waves as much but it certainly will be a lot better than it was this car for being a rapid car kind of changed my mind about rap cars just because it came out so good and it's lasted so long so i'm really excited to see what the new color is going to look like so i've already peeled the wrap off of a couple things with this i think i lucked out because this is actually like cheap china vinyl and it actually came off really easy on the other stuff so hopefully that's the case with this as well i've seen some people not have fun taking rap off cars before so all right guys we're doing something a little bit different at drift hq for black friday it's right around the corner and i wanted to kind of take a unique approach so we are starting up an email account called black friday at drifthq.com what you're going to do you're going to send a list of all the parts you want or plan to buy on black friday and what we are going to do is as soon as the clock cracks midnight we'll have an invoice fired over to you guys with the best possible discounts the thing is a lot of these brands don't allow us to advertise discounts prior to black friday but if you know you got some stuff that you're looking at this will lock you in and you'll have a buy now button at 1201 am so you can have first dibs on a very limited supply because you guys know the automotive world is crazy right now when like everything is out of stock but i can assure you we literally have over a million dollars of product on the shelves right now we have been building up to this point to make sure that we'd have sufficient stock because i predict a lot of the other guys that are drop shipping a lot of stuff are going to run into issues because a lot of that stuff's going to sell out so in addition to getting first debs on all the deals if you email black friday adrift hq dot com it's also a great place if you have questions if you're speccing out an engine build and need to know what works with what or if a certain part is compatible with your car let's figure that out now and then that way when black friday comes we can fire you off an invoice like that and you'll be ready to go and we're gonna be doing some really good deals on turbo kit setup so if you're buying like a turbo and fuel stuff like injectors or a turbo and a manifold we can give you a pretty good discount there'll be some deals with ecu master stuff prp cooler works irp nrg pmc cnc 71 destroyer die pretty much everything we have we'll be able to hook you guys up with and the bigger the list the more we'll be able to knock off for you so send us your list black friday drift hq dot com we'll make sure you guys can be the first to take advantage of the best deals of the year all right so we kind of tag team the car and got a decent amount of it unwrapped the main part that ray is going to block is just kind of the fenders and the fiberglass parts but we're debating of potentially swapping my front core and i guess it doesn't really matter to do before wrapping but this is how the front end's been when i have a bumper on it's just kind of hanging free so i have another one of these pieces we're trying to find and then i might mix and match something just to give the front end hopefully a little more rating we had a leftover led kit from fd uh if you guys remember the requirement to have underglow for the past two years so i'm thinking you know both s15 is gonna have undergo i have some little mean green underglow on this thing so i'm gonna pop it up real quick while this thing's on the lift this would be extra spicy i feel like i recognize these cars from somewhere well we've only got one minute of footage left on this camera because mike does not include so mike's gonna help me put on my brand new beautiful dmx wing on my s15 look at this thing sure beautiful i uh i found an extra trunk wing from my fd car so that's gonna go on soon too we just gotta repaint it for now you don't have enough memory card space for these antics yohan now you put an encyclopedia on it you don't imagine remember those what remember encyclopedias i've seen in a minute crazies are the kids nowadays comment below if you've never seen it encyclopedia and you're watching my video for real you do you think nope parker's probably probably not giving him encyclopedias that's like might as well be a freaking abacus at this point you ready you happy you excited you know it's one of those things we're gonna start the car we'll leave it at that okay fuel pressure yield pressure fuel pressure again your pressure again still good all right we're still good no leaks not all leaks all right sir cranking we already do have oil pressure by the way we didn't film it but they uh turn the motor over before it's even in the car so don't be like hey you don't have a oil pressure on your first start good ready ready all right so we're going to go drive it around a bit i'm going to try to do a little bit of a bed-in procedure on the rings we're supposed to do is give it a bunch of like varying loads so i'm just going to drive around the compound for a bit kind of bed them in but usually they'll just end up bending in on the dyno uh plan as of right now is do that make sure everything's good and then throw it on the dyno tomorrow morning wow love that damn dude he's going to be pissed the bumper kind of holds the fender good news is the car works drives everything it needs to do engine feels healthy uh when the fender ripped off it scratched up the door that's how the car already needed to get fixed up because it saw the dent from hyper fast but now we have fixed fender too so the plan tonight uh johann is going to wire in a few additional sensors because i'm going to take the leap of faith and i'm going to throw the standalone that's in the gray car it came with i think an older health tech i'm just gonna throw that set up in this and lee said he's known to tune it martin's been super busy and i just want to know that the car has the perfect tune for its setup and i don't want to mess with any chip burner stuff and we'll be able to monitor stuff better so playing tomorrow or the next video that you guys will see we'll get this thing on the dyno give it some rips and hopefully she'll be good pressure third try still good no legs all right sir beautifulmorning guys and welcome to another video where i continually obsess over how good the weather is in florida just because of fact usually i'm on the other end
