Thank you. The torque converter we got is still working great and has always shifted smoothly.

Gonna need to identify where exactly the squealing sound is coming from. Usually, it's the serpentine belts.

I never maxed the rear out, but it can go alot higher.

No problem man, thanks for watching 👍

Gonna sound epic 👍

There should be an app

Thanks man

These lights are still working great for us. You'll need a multimeter to diagnose any electrical issues. If none of the lights are working and the fuse is good, there must be an issue with the controller/its wiring, or the wiring that goes to the battery.

@@rosstrittler yea sorry for the late reply i been working on figuring out the issue but i still have no luck so i tried changing the fuse no good i tried changing the relay no good i even tried just clamping the red and black wire to new clamps onto the the same bolt i had it on which is the both that hold the actually battery clamps down tight i believe you guys did that to so everything that i could replace i replaced and it still make no difference i’ve come to the conclusion that it could be the connecting wire that goes from the harness to the web of rock light wires or it can be the block receiver (the thing you connect the relay to) idk what it’s called but ima buy the same kit again just replace the main components i think it should be the best option and also if i buy the kit that means i get another set of 12 lights you think i can just connect those 12 with a wire coming off from the web of wires im sorry its hard to explain but i tried my best thank you

once i buy the new kit ima replace stuff that is in the hood and im asking if with the extra rock lights if connecting the other 12 with one of the 12 wires that are together and basically having to sets of 12 wires under the truck

I think I'm following what you are saying. You want to replace the spider wiring harness (in hopes that it fixes your issue) and use the additional 12 rock lights with your already installed 12 rock lights, with a total of 24 rock lights running off a harness that was originally intended for just 12 lights. If I understood that correctly, I think if everything is wired correctly you shouldn't run into any issues doing that. Off camera, we took one of the leads, spliced into it, and ran 3 more of the same rock lights inside the front grill, with a total of 4 lights coming off one lead. Everything worked great and the light output of the 4 lights was equally as bright as the other 11 lights that had their own separate leads. As for running another 12 lights: it is possible that you won't have enough amperage to power up the 24 lights to their full brightness since the wire gauge running to the power and ground is very small, I think 30 gauge. If that is the case you might want to upgrade the harness to a thicker gauge wire.

@@rosstrittler okay sounds good and yes you understood perfectly

Check your spark plug gap, too. That ended up being my issue for the engine breaking up at high rpm

Not a bad idea

It's definitely a must-have for these cars

Thank you

Lucky number I guess

Possibly, we never looked into it.

Not a bad idea, just costs a little more.

Yes, it needs to be repolish at the minimum and possibly grounded down for oversized bearings.

It spun a rod bearing. I have no idea why the injectors were so frozen in. My n54 injector pulled out pretty easy.

I tried sliding it off, but it seemed like it needed a ton of force, and when I pried on the tabs, they just started bending as if they were going to break. I like my new solution a lot better. Now I dont have to worry about that mess of wiring and making sure everything is plugged in with the intake manifold on. Thanks for the tip, though, I'm sure some other people here could use it. Might be going to a different manifold here in the future.

You have a good solution too.

Yes, we had to do the norcal mod.

No, this was really just for education. I hope to do a engine rebuild someday.

Thanks man, definitely on the hunt for a bigger wheel and tire setup.

Thanks Nikki

Soon 🤞

Thanks for the warning. I haven't had any issues with it yet, but I might go back and change somethings based on the comments on this video.

Wow, all the way from Germany! Unfortunately, there is no rebuild or part 2 for this engine. Made this video for educational purposes.

@@rosstrittler ok. But it was broken? What was the issue? 😬

@doktormercedes the rotating assembly was locked up from the engine sitting for so long. I had to take nearly everything off that I could to only have it rotate barely to remove the torque converter to get the engine on a stand. I believe there was also a timing issue as well which may have lead to the engine sitting for so long.

Somewhere around 200ft lbs, I don't remember exactly.

If that, lol

Hello ! On m’a toujours dis sur le N54 que l’admission d’origine avec un filtre KN était le mieux . Avec les doubles filtres sans boites ,quasi pas d’air (à part du chaud arrivé dedans )

@@scorpioncubain I don’t know what this says! Another thing about the AFE is you can get the blue oiled filters or the grey non oil filters, those are the ones I ran! Oil gets in the way, if the filters made good enough, you don’t need oil. Just maintain them! One more thing about the AFE in take is the polymer dual piece that the filters go on, that piece has heat shielding molded into it, so it keeps the heat out better….🔥

Glad to hear it!

If I remember, I struggled getting it off too.

I didn't take the screws off the bracket. I just had some spare bolts that were laying around that were the same size and thread pitch, and I threaded them from the bottom on the new bracket.

I wasn't able to find the exact link but all the rock lights that look like the ones in the video are the same and we got them off Amazon.

I know I tucked the battery to alternator cable by getting a larger 6 gauge battery cable, although, I never filmed it. My G35 build has kind of been put to the side at the moment, but I hope to start on it again soon.

@@rosstrittler Good track!

Lol, thanks. I've been in the market for some different wheels and tires for a while.

yes

No, these bulbs are error free

Thanks!

Nothing crazy, these type of filters are washable anyway

I'm not sure this is a friend
