I'm convinced these guys are the hardest working auto channel on UA-cam. Incredible progress and updates every video, and no clickbait. Truly worth of all the success that's been garnered. Keep it up guys!!!
Fortunately, there's actually quite a few excellent auto channels on this platform. And two of the biggest corporate cick-farm channels haven recently seen their main on-camera talent quit to go and do their own stuff. So I'm cautiously optimistic for the future of automotive YT content. It just remains to be seen whether the world governments will allow us to continue enjoying high performance cars, or whether we'll all be locked into self driving, emotionless computers with wheels.
@@theKashConnoisseur Which other channels do you recommend watching in my free time, because I've been absolutely obsessed with this stuff recently. I saw TJ Hunt doing some sick stuff as well
@@Piev_ If you haven't already, Cleetus McFarland is worth a sub. Probably some of the best drag racing and general shenanigans content on the platform. Rob Dahm for mad science projects like a 4 rotor RX7 and a 12 rotor engine (no that's not a typo) with dual turbos that's in the same form factor as a big block. 1320 Video for tons of street racing, drag n drives, and international car culture coverage.
@@richjames7948 I'm no trying to convert you but I am similar, a lot of stuff I watch for the actual content and (try) ignore what I don't like. A lot of Matts stuff you just have to view the bits you like/love I think.
1 Hour video made out of 7 days of work. Well done. That is why we watch you Mat. You put out good quality videos not like other people who would put out multiple short videos. Keep up the good vids :)
The smile on his dad’s face every time the camera pans to him is absolutely AWSOME. It’s dope to see a son an father working together and clearly enjoying the hell out of it
Hi Mat, it's the fourth anniversary of my fathers passing, he was a mechanic working on cars all day. Unfortunately by the time I was old enough to learn from him he chose alcohol instead of work and family so I couldn't learn anything. I just want to quick thank you for showing me a conception of how it would have been working together as father and son on cars.
I’m only 17 mins in and sold on the rest of the video. Love how you’re breaking down the mechanicals with video to help people that don’t know what they’re doing understand better. It’s a really good format, I’d happily share this with my 11 year old.
That's why Mat's content is deservedly so successful... It's educational, entertaining, kid-friendly (for the most part!) and promotes strong family values. Even people who know nothing about cars love it, and that speaks volumes.
Yea, ive loved cars since about 2015ish but until 2019 i never really knew how the mechanics of the car fully worked then i found matt's channel and he made everything about cars so much more easier to understand! And its so cool to see how much his channel has grown.
I love how you do all your work with your dad, mine recently passed away I miss him everyday he was my best friend and always helped me with my projects cars or house. Cherish the time together trust me.
Ever since the end of Top Gear (the REAL Top Gear I mean) and Grand Tour, there has been Mat around to fill that space we all need. Big shoes, but he's filling 'em!
Love your comment and think your so spot on channel like matts would make good main stream tv content and BBC should scrap the current topgear and give matt there slot on air im sure there see the rating go back up lolz
Building in 7 days but made it into one whole video unlike like some "ambassadors" making like 10 videos for a 2 days build. This is why people love Mat's channel.
Thé thing about Matt’s videos is that they are carefully crafted films by a great storyteller with great characters. That is why they are so successful. Best regards
The best thing about these videos... is that he gives us the full video in one. He could split this into a 10 part series but he does an hour special and we can watch it all. 10 years ago before UA-cam was big, this would be a big TV show on channel Dave or something. It's such great content.
what you had on your stock induction system is a recirculation valve , which means when you let off the throttle to shift for example , the lost pressure is sent back into the system to eliminate lag going into the next gear , this new setup uses a "atmosphere" blowoff valve , which just dump pressure out of the system , it can create a bit more lag between gears , but with bigger turbos and hopefully a tune you shoudnt feel any difference ! same principle for wastegates (exhaust side) most smaller turbos have internal wastegate , whereas bigger turbos will only have an external wastegate ports . you can control boost with wastegates , and also have to make the blowoff valve spring suit the setup .
@@BenHArtist Ohh you might be right. I think I saw a discussion/poll from him asking about regular uploads. Or opinions on "videos getting delayed by a day or two". Well my sense of time/days isn't really working right now, so yeah, you might be right and i'm just stuck in the past
MATT IM FROM VICTORIA BC CANADA AND IVE BEEN RELIGIOUSLY FOLLOWING AND WATCHING ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND BUILDS SINCE I CAME ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION AND I REALLY HAVE THE MOST ADMIRATION FOR WHAT YOU DO YOU PROVE THAT ANYONE TRAINING OR NOT CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING IM A FAN AND FOLLOWER FOR LIFE THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOUVE REALLY HELPED ME BELIEVE IN MYSELF I MAY NEVER DO THE HIGH-QUALITY BUILDS THAT YOU DO BUT IM GONNA SHOOT FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY SOME DAY.

Dear Mat, what a journey ! Here i am sitting in my chair and i can beleive what i just saw! It felt like a movie, the joy, the suspense, the nerves, the passion, man o man this whas awesome! When i saw the time this beeautiful car did in the end i was jumping and screaming like crazy like i was there whit you guys, and my wife was looking at me like crazy, like wtf! Great job to you and your team and a BIG respect to your dad , wish mine was the same! My favorite car of all time to see it rise up to the chalenge was pure joy! My best regards and my respect, Leo from Romania! Cheers mate until next time!
Great video Mat. Lost my job at a main dealer on Friday and your video is doing a good job at taking my mind off things. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that you, your Dad, Matt and Co, your videos and your can do attitude really is appreciated
Your hard work has truly paid off. The videos are incredible, and the ending felt like watching a movie climax-it gave me goosebumps when you reached the 10:59 mark. Congratulations to you, Mat, and the entire team on an outstanding achievement.
Your father's laugh is hysterical when you surprise him with information. Such as the engine coming out. Straight up amazing his personality and humor. He steals the show I feel like some times. Love the channel and the content Matt. I love watching your channel and hope to meet ya in the future! Cheers and keep on keeping on!
Love you still get your dad to do the Banjo bolt, we should all just take a minute to respect how our dad's are our hero's and give a thought to those that went without. Sorry to bring the mood down but just feeling a bit sentimental. Thankyou all for the laughs and feeling like part of it all.
Crazy how this guy started like 4 years ago and low key has the best or top 5 rebuild channel, S/o to you and your team Matt 💯. Blessings from Toronto 🇨🇦
...and Perth, near Ottawa! This was my first visit, and I subscribed. Am not at all mechanically inclined, but I enjoyed this. And GTR is one of my favourites.
Damn, Matt’s approach kind of make me change my perspective on everything I aspire to do. It’s hard to describe, but the way he approaches these incredible complicated car builds with a smile and optimism, not afraid to disassemble something even if it has hundreds of parts that need to be tracked, is awesome. And not afraid to saw parts off, etc. differently than the official, “professional way” to do things. It makes me think about how I tend to only do things according the book, or as many others already have, in my work. But we shouldn’t be afraid to go where others haven’t been before and this really demonstrates that. Y’all know what I mean?
If it's your own stuff, feel free to chop and bash away with no regard for the "proper way" of doing things. But if you're working on customers' stuff, you should do it exactly by the book. One caveat to the above being safety: always follow safety regulations. Those rules are written in blood, and ignoring them WILL get you hurt.
As a theatre nurse I’m hooked up to your videos. Can’t wait until next one is out. You are the best and so down to earth😊 don’t stop what you’re doing💪
I met Mat (the cameraman) yesterday at a car show with his lambo, and can i just say what a lovely guy he is. Its great to see a young lad like him going places 💯👍🔥Edit: i also love the vids (other Mat 😂)
In a car like the GTR, that uses a MAF, you need the air from the BOV to recirculate back into the intake. If it vents to atmosphere, you'll run rough at part throttle. If you switch to speed density, which uses MAP and IAT sensors, you can vent the BOV to atmosphere.
Saw one of his videos once and I instantly watched ALL his videos. Mat inspired me alot even though I am a bit to young. I want to fix cars like him one day in the future.
When I watch you videos and you work with your dad makes my day! My dad had a car garage always working with him laughing and crying together! He passed away 2 years ago😢 so carriage and enjoy as much time together! ❤ keep up the good work lads!
I had a 10 second Mk4 Supra TT, took it to Santa Pod once, unfortunately i had bad tyres first trip and spun the wheels in every gear! I just could not get grip! Left, came back another time with better tyres, got a 10.1 😁 i had my confirmed 10 second Supra! Sadly financial bad times hit, had to sell the car, got really bad money for it, this was before they shot back up in value, and every day since I've regretted having to sell it! Now the chances are i will never get to own a 10 second Mk4 Supra again! But... i did once! Thats the main thing!
@Jabber-ig3iw yeh but that's just how it's said, you could do a 10.9 and it's still called a 10 second, I didn't understand that at first either, but that's just how it is.
I love the interactions between Matt and Tony! I grew up in a garage as a kid, my father was into American muscle cars in the late 60's, 70's, and into my childhood in the late 70's and early 80's. The times we had, in stubborn cars, and car parts, winning lil wars with certain cars that were just cantankerous, and busted knuckles...My father was a diesel mechanic by trade, and his father also...my father grew up in a transmission shop, that my grandfather owned, always around cars. My father dreamed of retiring, and us two building a project car, ground up restomod...but unfortunately 2 months from his retirement, he suffered a massive stroke that caused cognitive damage, and another massive stroke a year to the day from the first. This stroke robbed him of everyday normal life, and left him with dementia at 60yrs old.....That's been 13yrs ago, my father has been in a nursing home for the last 5yrs....What I'd give to relive those days in my childhood retrieving wrenches, and sockets from the rollaround tool boxes, as young child, to pumping brakes, to learning how to change brakes, to working and maintaining my own cars as a teenager...My father sold his racecars when I was born, a 55', and 57' chevy Belair's...and 69' Camaro...all built to the hilt! I thought I was going to have the chance to enjoy eachother as two men, and father and son....So please enjoy every moment you have with your father, and make memories that last forever...✌️
Good to see a GTR on the channel! Could’ve done a 10 with just a full exhaust, intakes, injectors, pumps and tune on e85 and saved a few days without dropping the motor.
@@MielesmanFDyeah same I got a 10.8 first time out with a mid pipe and e85 tune and some filters nothing else. I was also bogging hard on launches and doing 1.85 ish 60 foots - so easily could’ve been a 10.6 with a better launch
@@gapzlaGTR Exactly, im @ 10.4 with a shep 1k pushing it but i still think its got more. If i were to add the a good intercooler and do 1300cc instead of 1050cc injectors i could squeeze more. Supposedly you can do 9.99 on stock turbos.
@@MielesmanFDyeah you can! I know a few people who’ve done 9.7 and 9.8 on stock turbos. I was trapping 137mph the last time I went out maybe 12 months ago hitting 10.6, but I had shit tyres so couldn’t grip on launch. The 60 foot at that mph was 1.95 and 2.05 lol that mph is a 9.99 mph trap speed for sure
It’s a myth “cold air intakes” are better than stock airboxes. Stock boxes are ducted to pull in cold air from outside of the engine bay, and have large surface area filters. The round cone filters sitting in the engine bay pulls in hotter air. Also, stock air boxes are designed to drain rain water instead of soaking your aftermarket filter. Check out the Mighty Car Mods video on it.
Wow awesome watch and the moment oil and taking engine out again fair play love the determination 👏 really enjoy watching your videos and make me feel like getting into my projects
Matt I am a person of colour. I was wondering why there was no one of colour in your team? Do you just not know anyone or is there another reason? I love your videos and can relate it little but if there was someone of colour millions more would enjoy your videos. Hopefully you can understand what I am trying to convey. 4:42
I would ditch the factory Nissan Oil filter and move to a higher flowing better filtration Wix filter. I've done Blackstone oil analysis and they concur the OEM isn't as good as the Wix. Also it would have been good to drop the valve body, checked for TSB clips and cleaned the gear selector pistons of metal adhered to the magnets.
I finally got the time to sit and watch this episode. Absolutely amazing. Thats mate and team . Totally made my day .what a time . Congratulations. What a pleasure to watch . Cheers 👋

Love your channel. Mesmerized every time. My skill set is capped at swapping brake pads, alternators, and fixing flat tires. Lol
Just the video i needed after my first day of school 👍.its good day when MA uploads
Much prefer the Valvoline product placement and a brief mention while using it than random sponsorship inclusions.
What an absolutely brilliant video. Such amazing guys
I had a 10 second Mk4 Supra TT, took it to Santa Pod once, unfortunately i had bad tyres first trip and spun the wheels in every gear! I just could not get grip! Left, came back another time with better tyres, got a 10.1 😁 i had my confirmed 10 second Supra! Sadly financial bad times hit, had to sell the car, got really bad money for it, this was before they shot back up in value, and every day since I've regretted having to sell it! Now the chances are i will never get to own a 10 second Mk4 Supra again! But... i did once! Thats the main thing!
10.1 is over 10 seconds though🤷♂️
@Jabber-ig3iw yeh but that's just how it's said, you could do a 10.9 and it's still called a 10 second, I didn't understand that at first either, but that's just how it is.
Has to be 10.0 or below surely. That's an 11 second car. You wouldn't say a sprinter can run 100m in 10 seconds if their PB was 10.68 or whatever
Hey, I agree! But I don't make the rules, I'm just repeating what I've seen an heard
28:50. Bro is moving mad 😂😂
lmao
I was looking for this comment
An AMAZING VIDEO AND A REAL TREAT TO SEE HOW YOU ACCOMPLISHED THIS!!! Congratulations bro! keep going!💪🏽
Nobody else going to mention the casual Lexus LFA outside of Litchfield? Stunning.
So good
I love the interactions between Matt and Tony! I grew up in a garage as a kid, my father was into American muscle cars in the late 60's, 70's, and into my childhood in the late 70's and early 80's. The times we had, in stubborn cars, and car parts, winning lil wars with certain cars that were just cantankerous, and busted knuckles...My father was a diesel mechanic by trade, and his father also...my father grew up in a transmission shop, that my grandfather owned, always around cars. My father dreamed of retiring, and us two building a project car, ground up restomod...but unfortunately 2 months from his retirement, he suffered a massive stroke that caused cognitive damage, and another massive stroke a year to the day from the first. This stroke robbed him of everyday normal life, and left him with dementia at 60yrs old.....That's been 13yrs ago, my father has been in a nursing home for the last 5yrs....What I'd give to relive those days in my childhood retrieving wrenches, and sockets from the rollaround tool boxes, as young child, to pumping brakes, to learning how to change brakes, to working and maintaining my own cars as a teenager...My father sold his racecars when I was born, a 55', and 57' chevy Belair's...and 69' Camaro...all built to the hilt! I thought I was going to have the chance to enjoy eachother as two men, and father and son....So please enjoy every moment you have with your father, and make memories that last forever...✌️
Well said .
Oh my gosh I’m crying after that run! You guys are amazing. I only wish I had that sort of relationship with my father.
Only one thing: THIS IS THE BEST CHANNEL ON UA-cam !
Legit street cars just did this service on the transmission, but he cleaned the solenoids and put the service bulletin clips in..
The quality of these vids is just outstanding!
Not even TV shows would deliver so much!
Good to see a GTR on the channel!
Could’ve done a 10 with just a full exhaust, intakes, injectors, pumps and tune on e85 and saved a few days without dropping the motor.
Right! I do 10s with FBO and E lol
@@MielesmanFDyeah same I got a 10.8 first time out with a mid pipe and e85 tune and some filters nothing else. I was also bogging hard on launches and doing 1.85 ish 60 foots - so easily could’ve been a 10.6 with a better launch
@@gapzlaGTR Exactly, im @ 10.4 with a shep 1k pushing it but i still think its got more. If i were to add the a good intercooler and do 1300cc instead of 1050cc injectors i could squeeze more. Supposedly you can do 9.99 on stock turbos.
@@MielesmanFDyeah you can! I know a few people who’ve done 9.7 and 9.8 on stock turbos. I was trapping 137mph the last time I went out maybe 12 months ago hitting 10.6, but I had shit tyres so couldn’t grip on launch. The 60 foot at that mph was 1.95 and 2.05 lol that mph is a 9.99 mph trap speed for sure
@@gapzlaGTR ahh see man we must be not pushing it hard enough 🤣 we need to be hitting those low low 10s then !
Swear your dads laugh is infectious love the guy
Just wanted to let you know, you're old man is so badass! He's a good mechanic just as much if not better that you are! Truly a legend!
Casual LFA in the background at Litchfield 😍😍😍
Dope car , I would def listen to the song “Dupe - CTM” in that car 😅
Love watching these! Was watching when I was out in the US on business and now back and seen this! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
The Best Part When MAT Say's "The Valvoline Is Protecting The Floor"🤣🤣
Yeah Oil waste 🎉
Let’s go Mat, Iv got to say it again bro, it feels like ages since you’ve uploaded. Good to have a new video 🎉🎉
That was so exciting! So happy it all hung on and your time was awesome! Bravo!!!
It’s a myth “cold air intakes” are better than stock airboxes. Stock boxes are ducted to pull in cold air from outside of the engine bay, and have large surface area filters. The round cone filters sitting in the engine bay pulls in hotter air. Also, stock air boxes are designed to drain rain water instead of soaking your aftermarket filter. Check out the Mighty Car Mods video on it.
I agree just better with performance airbox filters
They also have a tuned plenum volume designed to work with the whole intake path… But that’s less on an issue with turbo cars.
NOOO WAY, not the sparks in the bucket 😭😭😭😭
It's insane how well you do what you do. Not only the mechanic skills but the video production as well.
On a roadtrip a d waited the whole day for this video😂.
Let’s make this gtr 1500 horse power 😅 51:30
Wow awesome watch and the moment oil and taking engine out again fair play love the determination 👏 really enjoy watching your videos and make me feel like getting into my projects
But... Why did Nissan put a potato in the engine?! 😂😂 15:57
NOW we’re asking the real questions
Please promote mark McCann's insurance petition, you should be posting it up on your youtube as you are one of the biggest car UA-camrs in the UK.
Great gear shifting down the track!!!❤
Can we please state the fact he just walked past an LFA
Matt I am a person of colour. I was wondering why there was no one of colour in your team? Do you just not know anyone or is there another reason? I love your videos and can relate it little but if there was someone of colour millions more would enjoy your videos. Hopefully you can understand what I am trying to convey. 4:42
How about a black dyslexic transexual dwarf? Would that satisfy you?
Give it a rest mate
I would ditch the factory Nissan Oil filter and move to a higher flowing better filtration Wix filter.
I've done Blackstone oil analysis and they concur the OEM isn't as good as the Wix.
Also it would have been good to drop the valve body, checked for TSB clips and cleaned the gear selector pistons of metal adhered to the magnets.
