Fixing my Abandoned Project Car - BIGTIME
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- The time has come! The BigTime boys are getting back to wrenching in the garage with Jobe's Nissan S14.
A broke, sad looking project car that's been neglected for nearly 4 years. But today’s the day we change that - Welcome to Big Time!

No matter how big this channel gets, PLEASE don’t ever forget this format. Big budgets and fancy shops don’t make a channel… it’s the people and the projects. Hunting for a tools in a buddy’s garage and making multiple Harbor Freight runs is something we can actually relate to.
Absolutely this. I can't count how many channels I've unfollowed over the years because they went from that wholesome DIY driveway scene to an 8 lift warehouse with tools you could never dream of owning.
The amount of time I've spent searching for my 10mm socket is ridiculous
Haha nailed it with the HF runs, though for me it’s Ace Hardware and Autozone
Hey, hey, hey. I like both.
Exactly! It's this stuff that gets me wanting to finish my projects that are cluttering up my space. 😂
We're SO back 😎
Never left bruddah!!
We are SO back bros
Welcome to the world! 😃
WE ARE BAAAAACK
Itsoverbros... it's so over for us
This is one of the briefest engine rebuild videos I’ve ever seen, while covering just enough detail and explanation on some of the most tedious areas. Truly well done!
I love how wholesome environment in the garage. Doggo barking, camera guy sneezing, random person walking by. I see a good future for this channel. 👍
Doggo barking kids screaming like they saw a hellhound
Doggo is the lead supervisor
I love the Dog content. A dog makes everything more relatable. Not the star, but a great supporting actor.
Don’t forget Jerry in the background taking care of business
Getting Doordash during a build video was a first fr
Big Time x MCM collab - I can smell it already
Yes yes yes!!!
The world needs this!
You guys are exactly what their new channel reminds me of.
Please bring these guys a Kei car!! Do a drag race - winner decides the engine swap; loser decides if NA, turbo, or supercharger
Make it happen.
Did you guys see LTT Linus Tech Tips wants to sponsor you guys and give you guys free tools. they said they email you and the biggest Tech youtuber wanting to colab with you guys is a major nod to how much people respect and like you guys
THIS 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 CONTENT 👏🏻 WE 👏🏻 WANT 👏🏻 (and top gear style cheap car modifying road trip adventures) but just some homies working on cars on a garage in a professional format! Also I love the setting, a regular, so-cal garage with palm trees outside is perfect
Oh hell yes! Flop Gear?
“road-trip for under 10k” is one of my favorite genres for car youtube
This.
Idk. I still would like more UpToSpeed shit. I liked learning about car history- that's what really got me into the culture and taught me the beauty behind the old tuners.
One million subscribers in one week.
But this speaks on what you helped contribute at donut, and it shows that hard work pays off. I'm so happy for you guys on this new venture.
These dudes taught me more about cars then my dad, and every mechanic I've ever worked for has. They definitely deserve it because without them, I would have had most of the jobs I've gotten.
This is peak Car You Tube and I love it, the right amount of explanation, demonstration, camaraderie, anticipation for the job to be done... THIS is how you do it... wishing you all great success
This channel hasn't been in existence for two weeks yet and it's about to break a million subscribers. Well deserved! These are truly big time numbers.
A lot of Donut subs came over also. A lil easier than just starting from zero.
Dont get me wrong, im not saying they dont deserve it.
Good catch! Definitely well deserved!
@@DismemberTheAlamo yup. If they started from zero they might not have ever got there.
@@DismemberTheAlamoi mean technically they started Donut from zero so they've already done the hard work. Being able to start a new channel with a mil subs in two weeks without any of the people from donut just confirms that these two guys and what they are doing is exactly what the people want.
@glossyfpv1155 Both Jobe and Jer debuted at Donut when it was already a big channel, but they definitely helped that channel get bigger. I can't wait to see them do what OG Donut used to be.
This gives me original Money Pit, short hair Jobe vibes. And not just because it's in that same house. It's everything that I've missed about donut. I've been craving a realistic build series. I'm here for all of this!
Absolutely
Iirc money pit was originally his own show that they kinda got drafted into donut with sort of like how Microsoft has been buying up dev companies. Now that they left they’re going back to what they used to do just under a different name which is why it feels so familiar. This is still money pit
I was a mechanic for years. This reminds me of my buddies getting beer and pizza, so I would do their timing belts, converting old d15s to multi-port, chasing down electrical issues. I can relate to multiple trips to harbor freight, and doing what you can with not quite the right tools. This feels real. I already like the new channel
Would love a beginner friendly comprehensive car repair guide for your daily driver. what’s worth doing yourself and what’s worth taking to a shop. With resources and how to know when you’re ready for more advanced repairs etc.
Gentlemen, you clearly know your audience, and we are all here for it. Been waiting for this build since lockdown
Just a dude in his space, speaking his passion. You could tell you we're just having a great time finally getting to the Silvia. You guys have really hit the ground running
I feel grounded. Like I just watched exactly what I’ve been wanting. I enjoy the no BS, homies kicking it making some car dreams happen big or small. Happy for you Jobe. Be happy for him jerry damn it! You know I’ve wanted to do this exact build since I was 14… I’m 31 but will RB build an s14. Stoked to see it all come together.
7:46 "I dont see any but I dont want to look hard enough to find" is highly relatable in many facets of life
Money pit was the series that originally got me into cars. I’m so excited to see a video that captures that same energy and material, I can already sense this channel being one of my favourites
Stoked to see your guys videos!
Yay, love your channel
Any spray foam suggestions for them?
Great to see some proper DIY content. Love it. And was kinda happy to see that you had the same oil pickup issues as we went through. We got an RB25 NEO same as yours. They're from the WC34 "Stagea" AWD wagon thing in Japan. Funny how Nissan used the same block across models, so you have two sets of holes drilled for the sump - one set fits the RWD style sump, the other set use bigger bolts and fit the cast AWD sump with the diff in it. With slightly different oil pickups - which is where the pain is. Nothing a grinder and some welding can't fix.
Good luck with that turbo though - it'll be horrible. Promise. Pretty exciting above 5000 though. Just go G30-660 and you'll be happy. They're lovely and responsive on the NEO engines. And make an easy 500hp+
The shot through the cylinder of putting in the rings is genuinely the most useful shot ever committed to film. Excited for the future of this bad boy!
Love you two getting back to the basics, in a home garage, with NORMAL tools we all have or can afford. Great format and chemistry too! Keep it up gents
This reminds me of back when MCM started. I hope this channel takes off huge for you guys! Awesome to see these kind of videos again.
I hope I speak for a lot of people, this is an absolute comfort video for car enthusiasts. Well explained, amazing videography and editing, entertaining… I could go on. Like a lot of the comments are saying, thank you for coming back!
I don't know much about working on cars. Idk why i like watching these kinds of videos, lol.
But im trying to learn. Tools are just too expensive.
The media will suffer greatly without these men, damn donuts. That channel's heart and soul was you guys. All I can say is that I'm glad you two can now pursue your interests!
There has to still be a connection to Donut. The logo is the same, the editing seems similar.
@@liajet24as a videographer and editor, it’s not hard to study the editing styles and techniques to make things similar, they both still follow donut though, but i don’t think this channel is connected to donut
@@dfw_carthings that's fair. I wonder if it's moreso them finding their own style which takes some time. Its definitely more slowed down and less geared to the attention span of toddlers like Donut is, but I still see a lot of the Donut influence/inspiration/hangover currently.
@@liajet24 Maybe thy have one of the editors/videographers from Donut helping them as part of their team now?
bot
Cool that one of the first videos was putting together the project car that was abandoned due to time restraints or finance, physical assistance; whatever it may have been, your compa came through and put in the work to get it done together. That's dope
This is freaking awesome. I've followed y'all from the beginning, and to set you guys happy doing what you love is the reasons I stay. Keep going big time .
Tryna see a Linus Tech Tips sponsored Junkyard Wars where y'all have to make working cars from only local junkyards.
Junkyard Wars? You must be an old fart like me. I used to love that show and Monster Garage and Popular Mechanics for Kids when I was growing up
Uhh you mean Scrapheap Challenge lol
I'm emphatically here for this... especially if the end answer is taking a pair of drift cars to No Coast, or taking a pair of time attack cars to GridLife, or doing a vintage rally
@@infidelmatworth a watch since the show went on far longer than what TLC licensed from the UK.
YES FUCKING PLEASE. have a feasible budget of like... lets say 3K for the vehicle and 2k for the mods/fixing.
have them race in a track. best car wins. I bet you that content will be worth months of videos, and id still be entertained hahaha
Lesshhgooo guys heaps of love appreciate the attention to the platform I really wish I had my 25det 33 I remember seeing the s14 and zach for the first time and hoping you were going to do a build of it always love the details put in the video keep up the great work Zach and Jerry wish the both of you great success
Subbed immediately! Been a Donut sub for years but we all want to see this type of content. You guys got the magic, now its just about the execution. You will be one of the top auto/moto channels on YT! Mark my words and time. These guys have lightening in a bottle
Lovely seeing people I support supporting people I support!
Same here -- These guys are two of my favorite (former) donut members!
Don't know why but it's way more refreshing with this 2 dude. They are just so genuine about everything...
This is what I thought, feel these two and a few others made donut what it was
Channel is off to a wonderful start, this is definitely what I've come to expect from you gentlemen, thanks
This is the kind of content we've been missing. I never thought you could recapture the Moneypit Miata magic but you madmen have actually managed to do it. Can't wait for the next one
Rad. Also very happy to see measuring tools and not just Plastigauge on the bearings. Relatable, but correct. Video is well done and not over the top. Stoked to see what you guys get into in the future. Y’all were always my favorites anyways. 😂
The simple style of editing without loud flashy transitions, shouting, and loud music is just delightful to watch.
Watching a bunch of friends building cars in a simple garage is just the refreshing content that we need. ❤
I still like Donut a lot but this brings the vibe I was missing from newer donut which is just good friends working on cars together. You guys doing this project in Zach’s tiny garage is a breath of fresh air.
EDITING SUGGESTION: To give some reference of time add a little Day 1, Day 2, Day 3... overlay whenever you guys are doing these bigger builds.
A "Parts Run" counter could be fun too. 😊
I love that despite no longer being part of a huge company, your production value has not gone down at all
Love you guys and please keep doing what you love, because it’s what we love
When Zach said "Welcome to BigTime" GAVE ME CHILLS........used to be "Welcome to Donut". Bada$$$
Around 18:00 and 20:00 you guys mentioned the clearance numbers- being a machinist I had to say something. You read them as 18,19,20 thousandths which would be .018”. I’m sure it was actually .0018 which is one thousandth and 8 tenthousandths read as “one and eight tenths”. 18thou would be a lot of main bearing clearance haha. A good rule of thumb is one thou (.001”) for every inch of journal diameter. For aluminum blocks you want them a little tighter.
Just trying to be a helpful comment, love that you guys are getting into this stuff. Good luck!
" read as “one and eight tenths"
Thanks for mentioning that, I was curious if there was a concise, clear, recognized way to state it.
Mechanic here. Was wondering who else picked up on the decimal place error.
As a non Machinest that occasionally uses micrometers my Machinest friends have told me you should never hold the calipers by the C, only the spindle. They tell me the heat of your fingers can effect the reading. As a Machinest is it really an issue to hold by the C? Or put the C in a vice even gently?
@@currentliveoccupant Theres nothing wrong with holding the body of a mic. Heat will effect size; all the specs from manufactures are at “room temperature” little over 70°F. That means when measuring for inspection the part should also be at 70° to be most accurate. Your hand won’t heat up the mic enough to make a difference though.
You don’t want to clamp real hard in a vise because you can effect the reading or damage the mic. These guys had some soft jaws in their vise which helps. They do make special mic specific stands for setting a bore gauge.
@@thomascarver1327 thanks for the reply. I always thought the special handeling was more of a overthought theory.
Yall make me wanna rebuild a 5.7L Hemi for my jeep. This is exactly what I needed in my UA-cam feed
My first car was an S13, my best friends first car was an S14. Neither of us paid more than a couple thousand bucks for em back then. We wrenched on them in a tiny garage just like this. Gosh dang nostalgia overload. Love it
Seriously you guys, this is the RB basic build video I've been looking for. I'm planning to do these exact mods to my RB26 in the future and had some basic questions that were answered just in the footage alone. Awesome sauce! Would love to see a more detailed version at some point but I know that's probably not for the majority of viewers.
You 2 were a huge inspiration for me. Jerm ironically enough pushed me towards pursuing an engineering degree because he made it seem like it was possible to learn. I loved watching the old school money pit and high low, and know the spirit of those two live here! I have nothing but excitement, appreciation, and good wishes for you guys!
Donut was great, the ranger build was cool. This however, is amazing. Working out of a 2 car garage rebuilding an engine with harbor freight runs being needed? Perfection.
Keep this format forever, this is real. This is how projects with the homies feel, not the fast forwarded stuff donut did.
Zach I’m so proud of you making a channel. Really cool Jerry stopped by for the first and last day of filming
😂😂😂😂
Getting over a million subs within the first few weeks proves that you brought back the humble content that Donut was missing for so long, already my favorite car youtube channel and it's only getting started
These guys wrenching on cars in that little garage again with the green carpet and only the most necessary basic tools warms my soul. It's how most of us started out. It's so relatable. I'm so glad they've set out on their own path.
This is literally one of my favorite cars in the world. This being yalls first video is godsend
This is what we've been waiting for, this is like those vlog style car youtube vibe but done way more professionally thanks to their experience on Donut, this is AWESOME
Really digging the vibe and banter here, boys. I can tell youre sending it passionately in order to follow your dreams and im here for the ride! Thisll probably be my new fav channel next to Stanceworks and Vin 😊 thank you and keep up the awesome work!
WOOOOO you can just tell they’re having so much fun. No suits telling yall what to do, no conflict of interest. Just 3 likable guys in a garage building an engine. exactly what I’ve wanted to see since the Miata build. Yall keep this up and no doubt yall will go BIG TIME!
Someone get these guys a quality sponsor please!
Oh I doubt that will take long.
Literally the kind of content we’ve been waiting for 👌🏻
This episode brought back feelings, like discovering donut for the first time years ago. Money pit Miata was a treat with every episode and kept me motivated to work on own Miata. The nostalgia was real and if this is a sign of things to come I'm unbelievably excited to watch everything.
yooo this is actually the type of content i watch in car channels and i like bigtimes version it feels more "alive" and not rushed you can actually feel that there was time put into the work and the details we dont normally see
@22:34 I love it when you show how parts work. I'm not in a financial place to be buying and moving all these parts so learning what they are, how they work, and how some are better for certain tasks than others based on certain criteria, that's why i like you guys and what you're doing now. please keep showing me that anyone can learn to work on an engine. BRING IT TO THE MASSES!
Plz
I really missed these kind of videos. Glad to have you guys back
It's like watching my left and right brain working out loud with each other.
That should be the intro 😂 "Welcome to Big-time, where okay is all we're after."
This is a backyard field very refreshing to watch. I wish they had a clock that was counting up the time. They have spent to get to that point. A lot of people do understand how hard it is to get the right parts. The right tools, especially when working in a new space.
You can see the sense of fulfillment in Jobe's eyes getting to work on the S14 again.
I love the educational aspect, especially about the measurement tools and detailed explanations about/reasoning behind why you do each step along the way, great work boys here’s to many more
Big time is going to become big time, in no time. Excited for the future for you guys.
This has like the old-school feel of Donut while also, having like a light touch of those old MTV reality shows
The 2 of you are the reason I fell in love with Donut. Now videos like this are the reason you guys will succeed. Doing what you want, how you want, and having fun with it. Keep up the great work!
The vibe of mid pandemic getting our knuckles good and greasy with jobe's miata is finally come full circle. With our boy jeremiah, god we're so fuckin back. Wish the best for this channel
Jobe and Jerry doing what they do best, *fixing cars and having fun*
and we're all for it, LET'S GO!!!!🔥🔥💯💯💯
Love this whole vid. Editor did an excellent job mixing narration with action shots and background music
Jerry's sly grin & miming (13:06-13:08) of Zach's "Steepling hands" (13:03) was 🤌🏻
so fucking happy this is happening
I'm SO glad to have you guys back, and especially this old form of chill, technical, back-to-basics content. I do wanna mention something. Maybe I'm getting old, but I really dislike high-energy, highly edited content. I get that it has to be this way at least during the intro for viewer retention, but please don't overuse jump-cuts, sound effects, on-screen text, etc. I get it's also a stylistic choice, but you can let the content speak for itself. I don't think there is a need to over-hype the video before we got very far into it. But the rest of the video is flawless and makes me super stoked to have this content back!
Random ass Thought but I really love the day and night thing. Shows the genuine love for the cars
I don't know if yall get a special feeling when a model gets brought back from the dead but the 240sx gives me that feeling. It reminds me of why I started loving cars in the first place.
Love donut, you two made a big impact there. So many car related channels are breaking down at the moment and it's all for the better. Feel the content degrades when decent channels have been bought out by a much larger company. They may have good intentions but looking at other channels that have had similar things happen you have 100% made the right move. I subscribed as soon as I saw you pop up on UA-cam home. In regards to decreasing your tips were good but do you have anyone that ice blasts near you that you could collaborate with ? Works an absolute dream, and that's for engine and all underbody.
Much respect. Excited to see your ideas come to fruition. 👌
This is what it’s all about man, hell I’m a completely novice when it comes to working on cars but the videos of past where you guys get down and dirty makin them knucks greasy working passionately on a car is what was the best content on Donut. Excited for the future guys! 👍👍🔥
Cool trick for getting 60 degree turn quickly is to mark one flat on your 6 point bolt head and rotate to the next flat, as each flat would be considered 60 degrees. Sick vidyas boys, keep it up!!
Just here to say I’m Team Big Time! And the blue and black Big Time oval blue with the flame should be your logo! I think it’s dope!
I love that Big Time feels like the old Donut. Please never change the format of your videos, we all love watching you guys just being you.
Already waiting to get my hands on BigTime merch. First video that attracted me to Donut was the money pit Miata, in high school. So seeing Zach start back from his house is awesome. Excited now as an adult to get my project car and follow along his journey.
This is the kind of content Donut should have been doing. If I see a Wish car accessories video on this channel I'm going to be disappointed. Thank you both for bringing real content back.
Ohhhh my god you have no idea how much I appreciate you guys actually putting out real car content. It's been hard to scratch that itch since old Top Gear went kaput. But you guys did it. This is nice and cozy and informative and fun.
Hi-Low made me get into Donut but Money Pit was the best, it was so relatable. It really made me start to find a true passion for cars and I loved watching Zach teach all of us everything there is to know about cars. Good times for sure.
I'm glad you guys are going back to videos that are helpful, honest, and just feel REAL. (Like hanging out with your car buds, building and troubleshooting each others cars.)
Keep it up!
You've got a solid fanbase here that will stick with you guys.
Can't wait til the next episode! Love that these aren't 11min rushed/fast forwarded episodes. I love the longer episodes that take time to explain what's being done and shown how to do it. Good job guys!
As a machinist, I approve of your proper use of measuring tools.
Holy hell. This channel will be amazing. I rather watch old Nissans, than some hyper- and supercar builds any day of the week. 👌
Loved the detail you guys described everything with!
SO glad to see my 2 fav guys doin their own thang! Keep it going guys!
As an old man ( I could be your pops old), you guys inspire me and love the new show!!
Truly blessed to have found you guys on youtubes car scene, your work on donut has been a big inspiration and i've gotten lots of ideas and projects i want to start on thanks to your amazing way of making car videos. Im so excited be able to see the start of this channel and wish all the best to you in for the future of this project!
The whole donut empire played down how much of an actual car guy Zach Jobe was and it is fantastic to see him in his element! Keen to see more!
This is beautiful. Strangely therapeutic, even
I'm totally scared on getting my hands on the mechanical part of a car, but you guys with this video just make it looks so easy that i actually want to build from scratch a project car.
I love that the format, the editing, the graphics... 100% identical to a different channel, they just say BigTime instead of the other name. I wonder who the creative geniuses were? this feels like we're back to MoneyPit days and I love it!
Thank you for helping me find my love for cars again. Money pit Miata revived my love. Now I have a s2000 love you guys keep it up ❤
i like how, Zach measured tolerance everywhere, except cylinders
ps goodluck guys, you are great
Really enjoyed this video. I got an s14 with a sr20 myself and went through this process the past months
I can already sense the difference between the corporate videos from donut and this. This is just so personal and so laid back
