      @@RyanWithAviators I don't know, it seems like all the Japanese cars I've worked on, it's not that they're hard to work on, but you have to resign yourself to disassembling everything to the depth you need to get the part you're after. Like if you're replacing fuel injectors, you may have to remove the intake manifold to get to it, and remove the throttle body to get to that, and disconnect the coolant hoses to take the throttle body off, and remove the intake pipe to get the throttle body removed, and then remove the air filter and housing to get access to that pipe. German cars, there'll be one fastener, it requires a $3000 special tool to turn it, but if you turn it 14 degrees clockwise, push in and then 30 degrees anti-clockwise, the entire engine drops out.

    I don't know a lot of engineers, but of the handful I do know there seems to be a point of plastic deformation in their mindset. They often start with a lot of CAD and maybe scale tests to figure out how something should be made but they all seem to eventually trust the process of "I dunno, let's build it and see what happens" and adjusting accordingly from there. Like guess-and -check math methodology but for building stuff. I think it's beautiful.

    Matt! An epic trick I learned 50 years ago in my restore-cheap-motorcycles days. Clean ANY rubber boot and then apply 100% Silicone Spray, wipe, wait, and repeat. That rubber boot will now be impervious to rot and cracking. 100% Silicone Spray ONLY! The sprays WITH Silicone do no work at all. Shock boots in SoCal were failing every year, and then never again! Keeps tires from cracking, too, even between the treads. Just be careful the first time around the block. Lol Lasts years and years. You will love the results and probably use it a LOT. Don't spray near surfaces to be painted, of course.

    You mock welded tube vs DOM. DOM is rolled over, welded exactly that same. They just add the finishing touch to then draw it over a mandrel to smooth out the inside/outside weld.

    • @SuperfastMatt
      @SuperfastMatt  Рік тому

      DOM is usually also normalized or annealed, and the mandrel gives much tighter tolerances while aligning the grain structure and cold working it. Even when it's the same alloy (usually not), DOM is notably stronger, especially in bending. It's not just the same thing with the weld smoothed out.

    The transmission slip gets pulled out 1", thats a golden rule for any car. Dont bolt the slip to the transmission not only is it a massive waste of time but if you put that flange on the back of the slip theres no way i can see it getting balanced correctly.
    Then from there have a center bearing on that same front shaft and a CV behind the bearing starting the rear shaft. The best way would probably be putting a flange as a preload for the bearing that also lets you hook up a ford style flanged CV.
    Then put a 1350 slip that'll connect up to the rear. 16 spline 1/2 inch diameter splines.
    Whatever you do just try to find someone to balance it or that CV won't last you a year and then you'll try to rebuild it and go insane. Any respectable driveshaft shop should beable to balance it but if you dont have one near you you might beable to find a tractor trailer shop that has a balancer it'll be better than nothing.
    Lastly make sure everythings phased correctly, meaning if you lay the shaft on the floor the u joint caps on the top should all face up perfectly straight. If you don't do that then all your u joints plus the center bearing will wear out too quickly.

    I've rebuilt my Ford 8.8 diff swapping the ring and pinion and replacing everything including the bearings and races. Ford does the same thing with a crush washer but you shouldn't just take a chance by hammering on it with an impact. The reason for the crush washer is also to locate the pinion gear depth which now that you've done all that you'll have to check the contact between the ring and pinion gears.
    I really hope you double check this or you could wind up ripping your gearing apart or binding everything up and breaking something else or again the ring or pinion or both. Sucks I didn't watch this video sooner so I could warn you or at least remind you if you already knew.

    Every video you post makes me stare at my e46 just sitting in my driveway making me reconsider my life choices before I begin to formulate a plan and then immediately stop and reconsider my life choices again and then go do something else.

    The pure joy of engineering your own death trap step by step and never completely finish building it. This is the definition of the project car.

    You’re voice over always reminds me of Warren Miller ski films from the 80’s. That’s a good thing.

    The U-Joint angles does not have to be opposite directions to each other (transmission end down / rear axle end up) they can be to the same direction and they still cancel each other out. So you could have transmission end down and rear axle end more down, so you could have better angels at so much droop. Hopefully I explained it well enough, english is not my native language.

    I flew through a stop sign on my motor bike once, when the end pulled out of my repaired front cable. Yes, fray it before soldering!

    I'm always amazed at the amount of custom work you do. You make your life harder for it but it's very entertaining. And the end result is unique, and that's cool!

    For angle issues it’s possible to use a cv joint on a slip yoke style transmission

    Gotta be honest I wasnt excited about a driveshaft video... but its Superfast Matt. I was not disappointed and got exactly what I truly expected, organized chaos!

    I love this video because I struggled with this same m220 axle because i threw the same one under my 2002 jeep. Watching You struggle with the same things i did felt great lmao

    Just a thought. Thompson Constant Velocity Joints. In case you run into problem with your U joints. These things are amazing to behold.

    I sum how conviced myself that I would be seeing a whole video just about making a drive shaft, WOW. Forgot I was watching this channel.
    Still love watching this.

    We all kicked hell out of the old simple drive system off road so I’m sure it will be okay. The front diff nose on a classic rangerover points up. At cruise height the UJ cancel each other out. It’s a neat bodge :D

    This driveshaft may look like a bunch of sideprojects, but it's actually just the best driveshaft in existence.

    Already have all the parts picked out to make my V10 Impreza driveshaft properly myself. 😁 Basically the same thing, right? 😂
