So honored to be featured! Even more thankful that you make the Nexus series ECUs. This car would have blown up a long time ago with how I rapidly prototype while traveling in uncharted territory.
enjoyed the back story and technical detials as well :)
Been watching you for years and really enjoyed learning more about the journey and 4Rotor.
Also love the fact you are using so many Aussie manufactured and engineered parts !
Glad to hear you mention Rod Millen. You should come do Leadfoot festival. Put the car on a boat and visit NZ and Aus
My hero!
Daaaahm that's a nice car!
Grab yourself a cup of cocoa, slip on your snuggie, and get comfortable for this long video as Rob takes you through the fascinating journey behind his famous RX7 build.
Did you even ask him a question or did he just talk for 5 hours?
Note to self, never trust a courier company.....
Got a feeling you didn't find the off button to stop him. I bet he's still talking not realising you went away long time ago!!!!😂😂😂 We love you rob!😂😂
Rob is the car nerd we all wish to be. ❤️
and its a honor to be able to follow his journey
Why don't you GO BE
Give me a couple years, I'll catch up 😂
With daddy's money you mean.
@@TheMarcQ Hey bro heres a tissue for your issue , you have a spot of jealousy smeared on your face. 🧻
I love seeing Daddy Damn getting the credit he deserves
I could listen to Rob talk about this car all day. I’ve been watching this build since the beginning. So awesome seeing what it became 😎
I just had the hilarious thought of Daddy Dahm making an ASMR side-channel where he does nothing but talk about apex seals.
I love how unpretentious Rob is. He knows he's not gods gift to the build scene and he refuses to pretend otherwise. And yet, after all these years, and all these headaches, he has a wicket cool car and the naysayers are still angry-typing but secretly wishing they'd just accepted less than perfection in exchange for a learning experience.
*wicked
Yes. This exactly. Rob has always been like this and I think that's why most have loved him. He knows he's not perfect. He shows his mistakes. I think of Rob as the Steve Morris of the rotor world where he should honestly steal Steve's concept of a trigger warning before the video plays that you might learn something watching his videos.
Rob exemplifies every aspect of a car builder in one person IMO. The joy it brings him unmatched so far that I have seen on youtube so far. Someday I would love to meet in person and chat
I like how he put emphasis on data accuracy, steady voltage, and wire insulation. Stomping on thin ice knowing how many it takes for it to break is how u set records.
Im so glad you point that out. I get very uncomfortable when i cant trust the data. Im already over my head whenever im doing something new, i need the computer to tell me exactly what happened. The worst thing you can do is beat the shit out of your car, download the logs, and realize you cant use any of the data because your sensors were failing or you didnt wire it right.
@@RobDahm may I ask what is the number one or in other words "most important" readings you check first or keep an eye on before adjusting other stuff on the ESP software? Let's say if you add/change a sensor or injectors vs. when you're simply checking up on the settings. Thanks
The sheer joy he gets while doing these builds is why I have been watching Rotary Jesus for years.
I'm not even a huge rotary fan... I just like Rob Dahm.
"Wasting their time helping me learn" is the most poetic way I've ever heard comment section people described
here i was thinking i was watching rob's channel until i see the haltech logo popup at the end 😂
great video guys!
Thanks! 👍
I like how (what I think he was trying to say) is there are hundreds of people who have helped build the car by giving him bits of information that aid in the car functioning to the level it does.
Wow, a video about the 4-rotor that has an actual dahmn outro, and doesn't stop mi
Easily top 3 favourite UA-cam cars and UA-camr. I have watched every episode of the build because I love the detail, the learning and just how real Rob is as a person ❤
Freaking love Rob, what a genuine guy. When I first heard him mention he had an R5 my jaw dropped. What a cool combo, Rob and the R5.
Watching how you have graduated thru self taught skills on this monumental build has motivated me to attempt a similar but much simpler task. I have purchased a Nexus R5 and plan to inject and upgrade ignition on my V12 E type Jaguar. I am somewhat older than you at 72 but keen to learn more about ECUs and the computer control. If I am half as successful as you have been I will be extremely happy and will have an awesome E Type. Thanks for your vids.
I used his wireing harness videos to over build a harness for a motorcycle fender
gotta love the current car youtubers, my 2 faves that bring 2 different energies to the car world
you got Cleetus and his fun loving dgaf energy and there is Rob with his pure energy for the love of all that is cars, they both take us on different rides but love both of them equally, Rob is like the big brother trying to pass on knowledge and Cleetus is the cousin always doing crazy stuff!
Nice to see panels on that rig finally.
His OCD over details and willingness to learn is really something. Inspiring in a many ways
Rob your perspective on comments and what you get out of them is a major reason for your success. I think I speak for us all when I say we could listen to you babble on for hours about this car. We can't wait to see what you do next!
My hat goes off to haltech when I need help on something I'm stuck on software wise they have such an amazing team they reply very quick and it's always something silly on my side lol
When you started talking about the intricacies of tuning and your personal journey as a tuner, your face lit up. Beautiful vid Rob, cheers mate.
"This is me!" hugs the laptop. 😂.
Seriously love this guy. His outlook on life is phenomenal. Been with his channel from when they lost then sold his engine 🤙🏽
hearing him say he’s a massive turbo fan while having a 12 rotor makes me very excited
the big 12 rotor will get two turbos most likely he said
Praying that the 12 rotor finds its way into his Lambo 🙏🏼🙌🏼
@@Knuf024 wont happen. gonna be a ol muscle if i recall correctly
The car, it’s story, and Rob himself make the build sooo cool!!! KB 43VER
what a legend, he used to annoy my ear by saying "out" now he's teaching me life lessons
Always admire Rob's passion.
This guy built my dream car, he’s my hero💯💯💯
Rob just stay true to your self I enjoy watching you figuring learning all aspects I love that about you Thank you, Rob.
You guys make phenomenal products. Thank having robs back, and doing this deep dive. I'm a long time follower of him. This was great to see. 🤘🤘🤘
this car is pure art, loved to watch the build from the start.
Finally an in depth overview!
Best build on the internet hands down, no question.
Rob Dah Sponge.
Absorbed knowledge the way we all dream of. Great work mate
Rob Dahm is the epitome of a high class rat rod builder.
Hollinger box, Haltech brain... saucy!!
Love seeing Rob build dreams and give hope
I love that you guys interviewed Rob, just let him talk, we will all learn and enjoy😎
I watch Rob’s channel, but only relatively recently, so this is a great overview of the 4 rotor. Love it!
Hey @RobDahm so awesome to see you getting the exposure you deserve from all of the hard work and constantly putting the haters in their place. Also being an Aussie 🇦🇺 and you getting huge results from a very great Aussie brand and products make 2 of your biggest fans from down under, Jim and Eden very proud. Rob, Erica, Isaiah and the rest of the team 👏👏👏
Absolutely amazing video, thank you.
Have been watching Rob for a few years but an by no means an OG so this sort of overview is really interesting.
Any Rob/4 rotor content is time well spent. ❤
I hope Scott aka Tuning Fork gets to see this car in the flesh one day
love everything about your 4 rotor i see the majority videos off this proyect I love this monster this its a real deal
This is so cool!
Thank you ❤
Rob is amazing! Great video.
Hero me Lord Haltech
I hope to one day talk about my kids, the way Rob Dahm talks about the 4Rotor. Proud papa haha hard work and dedication
Rob is the man!
Passionate about cars and eager to learn and improve wtg Rob
Robs passion for this car and mechanical systems could be seen from space.
It's been said before
And will be said again
But this is ultimate
❤ wasting their time helping me learn
Bravo Rob Dahm.!!!
Great Video, I am a Big Fan
This car is what we'd all love to do so fair play for Robs and the lads hard work.
I especially like the fact he shows all the problems that come up.
But that noise this monster makes is superb I'd like to hear it for real.
Even the wiring loom is of the chart.
One of the best if not the best genuine builds out there!!!
Also isiahs fab n welding is sublime.
Congrats on your achievement Rob. I am also a diy with severe mechanical ocd. So an engine swap turns into a complete build and rewire. At any rate I am almost ready to set the tdc offset in my elite2500 in my single turbo fox. You’ll be happy to hear, oem dash. All gauges work. All functions work except ac. No good spot for it in this rendition. Anyways keep it up!
It’s an amazing machine… it’s beautiful and sounds insane… sooo impressive
Couldn't agree more!
I swear I knew he would start with how long he’s had it lol
11:30 Its like an Artwork under the car.
And that's the amazing thing about Rob Dahm: an IT engineer that tought everything you see on his UA-cam channel himself. Systematic learning, step by step, see what works and what not, if something blows up understand the why. And learn how to do precise CNC machining out of necessity. And casually evolving the rotary engine. Aaaaaand taking the time & effort running a UA-cam channel to let other people learn about this stuff as well... 😎👍
And if that wasn't enough: in March 2023 he was trusted by Tyson Garvin to make his unique 12-rotor raceboat engine run - because Tyson never saw the full potential due to the limits of the fuelling system. Rob and Tyson are mad scientists with crazy ideas - and we love that! 😁🤟
Awesome
Car art 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Wow nice edit
Would love to see this car with interior finished. It's far cry from what it once was but I wanna see it completely dialed in
Doritos making brrr sound makes me happy
can't wait for rob to get into aircraft and build one from scratch.
Just Upgrading the old S5 T2 from EK6 to NSP 1500....Haltech rocks. Love what u have done with your FD. Always wanted to do AWD too. U remind me of a a guy in local Idaho Rotary Club years ago....this is not the same Robby is it?
Rob is great! My favorite video is when they did the area 51 alien skit, of them getting his 4 rotor in a crate.
@haltech great vid with one of my very few heros, Rob Dahm, in this car scene when it comes to building a custom performance vehicle from the ground up. The only real important thing i thought was missing from this video was probably Scotty "Tuning fork" to conduct the interview for a more immersive and in depth look into the technology, plus Scott is one of the nicest guys on UA-cam and I believe wouldve been able to help Rob really dive deep into some more of the info that I, myself, was wanting so sure there would be more. Great video though, not here hating, just sharing my opinion with you all. Saving up right now for an R3 to run my classic Aussie Torana with all the good bits. Cheers 🇦🇺👏👏🤙😊
The Rx7 build.....
Built it or bought it, haltech let's you build it...anyone can pay someone to build it, nothing beats building it yourself...
Haltech come with you on your journeys...😎
I am not disrespecting in anyway, I love rotaries and i love this car so much. the only thing that makes me nuts is all of the undercarriage rat nest wiring and lines etc. For a car of this caliber it can all be routed way cleaner imo, and i understand like the whole getting it to work process. I dont want to come off as a know it all or a hole but, i feel all of that can be cleaned up alot. love the content and love the build as a whole.
This.... is my ASMR
Rob Dahm is the people’s champ UA-cam car guy. Self-taught and genuine to the community. We see how hard some of these problems are for him and he inspires us when he uses brain power and passion to overcome all of it. This car shouldn’t be, if it were easy AT ALL, there would be tons of AWD/sequential/4RTR FD’s out there.
I love Rob, but dear Haltech, I still need Scotty to get over there to geek out over this in person. And of course going for a coffee/kebab in it!
Let's Gooooo 🚲💥💨💨💨👽👍🏻
If any UA-camr succeeds I hope it's Rob!!
Dope
Rumor has it Rob is still talking about his car.
oui elle est dingues cette voitures tour en décapant
Great thumbnail
I think the reason he can do 200 videos of the same car is because he actually finished it.. most pump for views then move on, never becoming master of any one thing..
he has taught us more than he knows. And isn’t afraid to show his mess ups..
The car nerd every car nerd should aspire to be.
Wow, he doesn't capture how monstrous his engine bay looks in his own videos.
He almost went giggity giggity when describing the torque curve, lol.
Can't wait to the 12 Rotor 😅can a single haltech even handle the braap Beast
🐐
I could listen to Rob talk for hours and hours man
Would love to see tuning fork get out to see this in person one day.
Awesome guy and build for sure. As my mate says experience is costly and if you learn from that you can succeed and also about getting the right people to teach you the basics cause without foundation end up like me good range of skills but look over basic shit at time as never in the trade just a hobby
An Elite build by an Elite nerd.
Rob saying he is a huge turbo fan, I just imagined his head turning in to a huge turbo fan haha
💪💪💪
The fact that 2 guys made this just makes it that much special ❤️👏
Thank you Haltech for giving us half an hour of this insanity 🤌
Ken Block was the true car guy! RIP Ken🙌
Mazda neeeds Rob on board when making the next RX-X vehicle
🔥 Mad genius! 🤘😎
What are the 1/4 mile times/track times?...is it competitive?
He has only had it on a drag strip once for a TV show so he hasn't shared what time it ran. Not really a drag car build anyway.
First and only time on the drag strip and it ran a single digit time with a nasty trap speed babying the drivetrain. Waiting for the show to air before going back
Weapon 🚗
11:45 I'd be cool to cut out that large dorito shape in the hood and replace it with plexi-glass.
Massive turbofan like in the Airbus A380.
