Tommy is low key a “look at the bright side of things” type of guy.

Don’t get frustrated now man. Like tommy said, you learned a lot , and you’ll never do it wrong again. It’s all just a learning experience. Some day your gonna use the knowledge and remember where and how you learned and it’s gonna make you laugh.

I’m sure Tommy is like this with all his good friends, but WE rarely see it. It’s good to see this side of him too. Life is all about balance.

Look at papa Tom giving Sammit fatherly advice..it's really different considering he's usually giving people shxt 🤣🤣 gold content bro 💪

I like how in Japan he has Okachan and in the states he has Tommy😂

Tommy's the kind of homie that comes in full clutch for his homies when they really need something and that I can respect

Always treated crown wheels and pinions as matched sets. Especially secondhand as the wear patterns would be different. Diffs are a black art.

The pinions are all interchangeable between abs and non abs, the thick shims and collars are all different so mark everything from whatever diff they are from and then swap all the shit until it fits.... I've just done this for a 4.6

I dont know if im the only one, but I actually enjoy these types of videos. A good video doesnt need to have something insane happening every time. Watching this content makes your videos feel more real and relatable in my opinion. Keep on posting whatever you can film, thats what vlogs are for :)

Dude I love the tech talk on these diffs. Don't worry so much Sam, the raw footage was still good stuff.

I wish rudnik could understand Tommy's points and reasoning just like Sam does because then Rudnik could actually get somewhere with his builds

I really like tommy hes such a cool guy

You CAN run the non-abs diff with an abs driveshaft if you are desperate.... the diff is only ~0.75-1 inch shorter, so your slip yoke won't sit in as far but its perfectly drivable

Double clip Sam. bolts 🤣🤣 tommy and ruddy distracting you. When you go to a deli get a bacon egg and cheese or sausage egg and cheese on roll with salt pepper ketchup. For lunch get a California. Chicken cutlet lettuce tomato mayo American cheese avocado. Pickled Jalapeño optional toasted on a wedge. Thank Me later

Tommy is a fucking plug ... This Dude Has Ever Part Everyone Wants ... Big Shout out to tom

SAM its a LEARNING experience for each of us that follow you. DONT FEEL BAD ever for sharing your faults...

Love the double diff pull late night edits lol 🤣🤣🔥🔥

poppa tom so different with out strapnick around so calm

Tommy with the positivity

Love seeing Tommy being the dad trying to make Sam look at the bright side. Sam found out more about S13 diffs in the three hours trying to make Jimmy's diff work.

Sam at 550-6min mark you have a repeating clip!! But still stoked to see you getting that hardware store shit out of there

*Double clip Sam*

The ring gear and pinion gear are a matching pair and are "lapped" together so they mesh perfectly. You can't just swap ring gears etc.

I'd be going over that whole car an checking bolts after finding the rear lose like that.

It's actually cool to see content like this where you and another person like Tommy bump heads and kick ideas around.

Excited to see the S13 finished!

considering im going through the same thing as you in terms of car headaches I understand your issues and appreciate how much effort you are still putting into the daily vids, it cant go unnoticed

Seeing the struggles of building a car is also very valuable to your viewers because this stuff doesn't always go to plan. So it's good to see you work through challenges, that way other people know that they can as well. Hell. I've been writing on the same car for 3 years now because I have rain into so many challenges, especially with finding parts. Keep up the great work.

as someone who works on modified cars for a living, i know this frustration way too well. the s13 is sick, and i cant wait to see it finished, but im glad you at least have a plan b car for the lz event.

Sammit showing the CT deli love! Next time you're down near Jimmy's shop go to Lino's Market in Durham

Ring and pinion gears are a match set gotta change them together

Shit like this makes me so thankful my OS had zero problems going into my diff.

Tommy's shop is just basically UP-Garage CT😂

Your in the JDM space. You always ask poppa Tommy what he's got. Coz he's got everything and a lil more.

If these 30 year old cars were easy to work on, what fun is that!? Lovin Vlogmas Sam, keep your head up. We're all cheerin for ya.

these 'real' videos are where the content really is. Its good too see how everything isn't curated and filtered and bubblegum and unicorns. Builds are hard, builds on a timeline are harder. You just learned a lot, and shared your learnings with your entire viewship.

Don't worry bro I'm sure you'll get it sorted you learnt something new and taught other people something new thanks for your hard work and content

Cant wait to see what the future holds for the S13 (240SX) Contiuning to love vlogmas this year.

It's alright things will get better not only did you learn something about diffs but you documented it for all of us and everyone else who ever has the same thoughts or questions these daily vlogs show a lot more of who you are and we can all relate because we've all been there one way or another.

Sorry it didn't work out for you brotha. I used to HATE Tommy Fyeah but over time seeing him get involved and have his homes back he's becoming one of favorite human beings. Loving the support within this group of friends.

Hope the s13 problems get situated this was a tough one for sure

Ayeee I was starting to think we had to wait until tomorrow! Thanks for more awesome content! Any sammit video is a banger video

respect your hard work and for tom to be chilling with you and trying to help out

at 06:18 i have finally mastered the art of Déjà vu! Thanks for the daily uploads man! love this CT content for sure!

I think this is the best video it’s why I like KZfaq it’s behind the scenes it’s informative it’s real life problems and all my favorite videos

Finally a video showing what it is really like to play around with cars. Keep your head up and I know you guys will get it sorted.

Sam just made a lesson video and now everyone has learned something. Also Tom to Chris, " Your a fucking idiot!" Tom to Sam, " Hey man it's good. You learned something and won't forget it.", " Hey Sam I think I can help you out?" That cracked my up.

What about the pink Yashio Factory S15 at the LZ compound?

Not only did you learn valuable information for yourself but because of what you do for a living your helping out so many people that maybe thinking about spending money on that kind of swap, keep pushing your doing great.

Well, I learned heaps of valuable technical info about Nissan diffs, thanks and heads up 100% you will get it sorted

Sucks when things like this happen, but great the have the group of friends you do that are so willing to help! Best of luck

I would just weld the shite out of it. Source what you need later and that would get you drifting in your own car.

Back wit another banger sammit 🤟

Basically this is how every video goes for me LOL Keep it Real!

Love to fly out and hang with you lot. Keep killing it on the vids bud 👍🏼

yoooooo love the vids have been watching your channel for a long time and cant wait to see what your gonna do with the new car!!!!!

Good teaching Tom, it’s nice to watch Tom talking about mechanical stuff on a serious note

you shouldn't be upset, because you learned so much. You just leveled up dood

Great try and learning what fits and what does not. 👍💯 saving a lot of time for other people

10k away from half a million bro!!

Love yeah Sam never stop learning

it happens bro i swapped my engine and it’s so close but just still can’t figure it out and it’s been like 6 months SO frustrating man so i know how u feel don’t worry bro it’ll all work out in the end stay positive!!!

Dam when Tommy said you have data and you’ll never let this happen again, that hit different. Yeah the situation sucked but you have so much to take from it. And now you are one step closer to okachans knowledge. It all comes from experience brother! I know the situation is resolved now but awesome vid. Don’t say this vid wasn’t a banger. It had me on the edge of my seat!

One of your best blogs yet. Real life.

The whole cars finger tight. Hoist it up tighten everything. And I mean everything 😂😂

also you need to know the contact patch u need to paint it and spin it and see if it matches and uses shims to move it around and get it right there are a lot of measurements

I feel you dude I’m trying to Manual Swap my E36 and shit keeps breaking as I’m taking it off cause it’s Old and previous owners did Quick Fixes Instead of proper shit, on days like that day a break and come back later with a clear mind and then again you learn shit from failures

Rudnik is rubbing off on ya bro! Same clip twice at the 6 minute ish mark hehe... love the vide, keep it up!

I’m loving the mechanic type of videos

It's all good Sammit,it was still a good video. Good luck finding the parts you need!

Loving this adventure so far bro 👍 Chris and team seem to have great banter going on... Americans and there banter 🤣

Deli shop that I miss the most on the North East when I lived in Rhode Island was D'Angelo's and drinking some Del's Lemonade.

Everyone talking about Tommy this vid really shows why Okuchan is Sam's angel

Merry christmas sammit 🎄👋

Tommy is nice to sammit bc Sam is intelligent. He talks to ruddy the way he can understand 😆

Keep up the great work!! 👍🏽👍🏽

Was a good video. Get to see more technical things than just a thousand foot overview of a swap.

10:30 😳 Dood LMFAOOOO

Even got the Adam Liz double clip in. Nice 👍

Definitely didnt do all that work for nothing that car would have eaten itself up if u took it out drifting without changing all those house bolts out

Is ur second option the yashio factory s15 at adams😳

Papa Tom is 100% the nicest guy in the JDM space !!!

Lesson here: Before you buy a car, or after if it’s not possible before, throw it on a lift and get under it. I think Sam knows all this just got super excited which I can’t blame him for. 🔥🔥🤬

Sam + Tommy = good stuff.

Good words from poppa Tom! You learned a lot from what you did and that’s a good thing to think about

Was just starting to wonder where the daily vlog was!

Don’t let it get to you Sam. It takes real car guy and gals to understand how situations turn to poo 💩. That’s just the part of the car game. Just keep pumping videos out mate I’m sure all your subs are car people like you Bc I understand how this stuff turns to pop with the quickness

Ditto to what Kyle said. I’m glad you uploaded this video as is. So what the parts didn’t work? Yeah, it’s frustrating, however, that’s usually what happens to many of us when working on our projects. But, shit happens bro. Keep your head up and keep grinding. You’ll get‘er done! You’ll see!

Love the realness of this video and I honestly can relate mean of time me and my family/have ran into part compatibility issues of all sorts but hay you try you learn and you get it right the next time anyway keep doing what you do and I'll keep watching it your awesome 😎👍

Shout the fuck out to Tommy! Keeping things positive and reminding you that there is always something to take away from a shitty situation 🤘

Will and Sammit is the best duo that came out of sammit being in the states lol so wholesome

Ring gear and pinion are always a match set!

stay strong Sam, sometimes things take longer than expected, It is a good video tho, I like the tech talk

#15, Burger King Foot Lettuce. The last thing you want on your Burger King burger is some else’s foot fungus. But as it turns out that might be what you get.

try local parts stores for J30 5 bolt axles

I hope Tommy takes a few editing tips from Sam, just up the production quality and pops off, the guy's a well on 90's jdm knowledge

A learning video is some of the best content

i'm loving these vlogs in Murica

Don't stress my guy! It's a lesson learned... Chin up bro! Possible solution, I know you don't run welded diffs, what about installing a minispool, as a temporary fix, you won't have to outlay for tailshaft, axle hubs, any other odds or ends. Until you get your hands on a proper LSD Respect to Papa Tom 👏👏👏🏆

Got to wrap the s13 pink🤘
