What Happened to Al's 300ZX?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Al's RB25/30 Swapped Nissan Z32 300ZX was "finished" in early 2024 but since then vanished off the socials, What happened to it? Well after the RB30DETT conversion the car visited our mate Shayne for a complete respray in a beautiful Blue Pearl as well as modifying the aftermarket fiberglass front bar to accept the factory indicators.
This car was built with the intention of Al's Wife being able to enjoy the car but with close to 700HP at the hubs we need a clutch that can not only hold the power but also has a softer pedal.
Al opted for the UniClutch TRACK Twin Plate with the addition of their Ultra Flywheel which has incredibly improved the driveability of the vehicle!

WE"RE BACK BABY! After a relaxing start with the family to 2025 We're back to regular scheduling! Thank you so much to all the kind messages checking in to see if I'm ok and asking about Baby Jimmy, Family comes first for me hence why I took some time away from the socials last month! I'm excited for another massive year, I've jut gotta learn how to delete marketplace to stop me from buying any more projects!
Glad to have ya back! Family is the most important thing in life, so good job prioritizing that :)
670hp? I think it would be around 500hp in the USA. Aussies like to fudge the dyno numbers.
Baby Jimmy will be your most expensive project yet! Congrats to you both 😊

That Alan fella is good on camera. You should ask him if he is interested in joining the channel.
I do miss Alan's brain hole of wisdom. But woody is also doin a cracking job on his lonesom
Funny
TRUTH!!!
😆🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Hang out with Al and have a good time” best video we could ask for 🙌
It's enough to make a grown man cry!
If Al selling out for a sponsor hookup is what it takes to bring him back briefly, then I'm all for it.
Nothing like Woody and Al having a good time! We all miss Al around here but it is always nice to see him back once in a while! 😎
Same at mcm. ALways a pleasure when he's in the videos and shares his infinite wisdom.
Great to see the Skid factory again. And Al.
"They clearly don't care about frivolities like indicators."
That, right there, is why the Turbo Yoda is the greatest UA-camr.
Woody you probably hear it all the time but mate the laugh you have when you are with AL is something else it’s bloody great! REUNITE! Yous are bloody awesome together bloody miss al a lot!!
I wanted to see that 300ZX running after the build. I’m glad we finally got to see it running. It sounds awesome.
It sounds epic hey!
Super stoked to see the 300, and Al again. Welcome back woody!
Welcome home Woody!!!!
So good to see the old fella on camera again. Should make this a regular thing where you bring AL back for a bit here and there.....
Great to see you blokes back together. There's obviously a solid friendship there. I miss watching it - and Al's dry humour 😂
Doing good stuff Woody 👌
Yeah man we’ve been friends for an over 15 years, there’s plenty of banter to throw around.
I know a lot of people miss him but It’s good to point out that I miss him the most!
@theskidfactory big respect mate.
It's great seeing Al on the tube again...🤩
The chemistry between you two is very enjoyable...👍
Good to see you Al
This is the content I've been waiting for.....so good to see Al.
I feel so at peace watching Al on video 😅
It's like a warm hug for my brain
Missed ya Al!
Love ya work Woody ❤
So need to get Al back on the channel - missed that guy!!
Great to see Al looking happy and well. So cool having a visit with an old friend.
Finaaallly people are realising how good the Uniclutch is ! They're pretty springy while releasing the clutch, but soo much easier to use in a daily than a conventional HD clutch
I miss you guys together. It made the skid factory. Al’s monotone and you giggling make it
What a great way to start Feb!
Great to see Alan back for a visit
Good to see you, Al. Don’t be a stranger. 😊
Great to see you back on it, Woody! Congrats on the newborn...again!
Great to see Al and the Z! Looks awesome!!
It’s great to see Al back!
Yay! The real Skid Factory at last. Great to see Al in action once again. 😊
Hate to be greedy but we really miss Al
FINALLY we get to see the real Skid Factory character again, it's been too long and it's not the same without him. Talking about Roger of course, although it's always nice to see Al as well.
First Skid factory I've watched all of since Al quit.
@christianmarschall5506 It's a bit different but it's still a great channel. Also this isn't even the first video Al has been in since he quit.
The man the legend, We miss ya Al, Mrs Butler can we have him back please? Sincerely all of UA-cam
So happy to see that Al is doing well. Favorite car wizard. Hope to see more episodes with him in the future.
Yup, you still got it Al ! My head's been in 20 different places this week, even trying to watch You Tube was challenging. You two just fixed that for me. Thanks from the Great White North.
Just coming back to this video to listen to the "bedding in procedure" 21:20 😂 sound awesome 👌
I miss Al 😢
"I dont trust the crown its Fkn scary" HAHAHAHa has me in stitches. good to see ya back woody and always a pleasure to see Al
Great to see you back together for a video. Great video well done
Great to see the lads back together for an episode.
Nice work, boys.
I'll never get sick of Al and woody together. What a vibe.
Good to see Al back on the channel.
Woody please bro everyone wants to see you and Al back listen this needs to happen and fast we all miss you both bigtime ❤
Good to see Roger back on screen the real MVP
So nice Al and Woody having the same bants as they had back in the day!! The last episodes of OG Skid Factory had a turbulent feel! Thanks guys!!!!
WoW how we miss the Yoda and Woody banta. Giggling all the way through😊😊
Als back!!! Lets make skid factory great again!!!! The people have voted🎉
love the other google search tab "how to stop baby hiccups" @12:51
Really though, how do you stop them 😂
@theskidfactory I don't know. Somehow my number two daughter manages to fall asleep with them, and you know when she's asleep because they stop. But "making them sleep" isn't a helpful suggestion, primarily because Number 1 daughter couldn't sleep until they stopped.
Brother, the struggle is real!
Aww man I was just thinking about this car!!! Great little update! Thanks guys - good to see Al again.
All hail the return of Turbo Yoda! 👌 to see Al with Woody again
I just put a uni clutch track in my BNR34 Getrag with 700whp and its bloody amazing
Seems to be a pretty good thing!
They where my favourite car when they first came out went to the motor show to check them out still got the old photo of me sitting in it. Well done Allan 👍your a champion
It's great to Al back on camera again. Not only that, but he seems to really love that car. Oh and if Al, or anyone close to him reads this, don't bother trying to replace the radio antenna motor when yours burns up, it'll just die again in a few months. It's been awhile (I've had my TTZ since 98) and I think I put 3 or 4 of them in over the years before I just gave up and left it tucked down. I've got another one sitting in my box of spare parts but it's just going to stay there (or just throw on ebay if I'm not lazy).
Al is so clearly more relaxed these days. Great to see him so content and happy.
I have the same front bumper on my 300zx TT here in the states. It uses a Honda Prelude rear marker light for the turn signals, and they are very insufficient. I ended up converting the high beam housing into turn signals and installed aftermarket LEDs for turn signals too. It looks really nice like that, but it was for sure unsafe the way they intended. I knew I had to do something about it when I noticed people didn't pull out until I was already turning even though I had my signal on.
Man I googled for hours looking for Honda turn signal lights. Didn’t think they would be from the rear. 😂
UA-cam Yoda!!!
"Replacing the clutch, today we are".
- Master Jedi
Just installed a Track Uniclutch myself.
Feels really nice
Great seeing Al. A treat to see the two of you together again. , Woody love your work and the new place .
Woody I appreciate what you are doing but you and Al are the OG combo. Get him back please!
I greatly appreciate seeing Al again.
Was thinking about you last night, sweet I know. But I was also thinking about Al. I haven't watched the video yet, but I will just comment up front, glad to see you back and enjoyed your family time. Glad to see Al visiting you in Al's shed to talk about Al's car. Looking forward to this year's content, hopefully inspiring me to get my car on the road again ❤️
Thanks for coming, Sir Yoda
Great to see you've had some time off, to relax and enjoy being a new Dad. At the end of the day, does it matter who's Shed or Garage we're hanging out in. As long as you're having a great time with ur mates, building cool projects and enjoying the odd Lemon Squash ❤❤
Woody, congrats on the new rugrat Jimmy. You do a great job but we miss Al. That UniClutch is very interesting.
I'm a simple man - I see Alan, I click like. That clutch is a seriously cool piece of kit!
Seeing the boys together again in the shed was the best thing for alot of us!. Thank you Woody and AL 🇺🇲🫡👍
I saw Al at work the other day. I can confirm he’s a legend in real life too
Love seeing the "Boys" back together. Couldn't click the video fast enough👍
Back in the day clutch explosions were definitely a thing. I had a friend who had some toes missing due to a clutch on a mini coming apart when after a missed gearshift. He told me it punched a hole through the roof in front of his face.
I was also at a “street bracket” meeting at Castlereach Drag Strip in the early ‘80’s. I watched a guy warming the tyres in a GTHO Falcon when the clutch exploded and cut the gearbox completely off the back of the engine. Pieces of clutch were raining down on us in the pits.
Awesome, you guys make for a good team. Love your work Alan.
So good to see you back here Al ❤
Always great to see AL.
Always good to see you guys back together
Good to see big Rodge! And Al.
17:09 LMAOOOO !! It's been awesome watching you and mates for at the wood shed, but Al's always gonna make for a great episode. Cheer, boys
I use Uniclutch sport the blue one in my 1KD Land Cruiser. Drives like normal car no more slip. Never looked back. Anyway it’s nice to see AL again.
Al's old lady sounds like a legend too
Good to see Allan and woody back together in the OG shed!!
Glad to see Al doing well!
Good to see you guys together again. Al you look really well.
Woody, so nice of you to let those up-and-coming mechanics try out their skills on UA-cams! Also, Congrats Al on the new ambassador role!
Great to see Alan living his best life, Roger stealing the show and good mates just hanging out!
Looks mint Al. If you want to keep the black looking good and easy to maintain consider PPF. It protects your paint from chips, stains, fall out and bird poo and self heals from small scratches and abrasions. In reality, you can wash it without ever having to worry about all the swirl marks you’ll put in because it’s black. It makes owning a black car a pleasure rather than a choir.
Yes boys! Have been waiting for this, actually rewatched all the 300zx build vids this week haha
Al is eloquent as fk and you let him speak which is awesome! Just over here hangin on every word lol
Good to see the og team back together. Al has been in a good paddock obviously. 😄 Great content. You guys didn't miss a beat. 🙏🙏
Good to see Al back on camera sharing his wealth of knowledge
Gus' formal video was so damn good. All the smiles.
Great to see you check in with Al, that was fun!!
TURBO YODA!! Greetings from the USA! I haven't watched these channels in a few years when I saw you I just about flipped! 😊
Man, that car is fantastic
Al once again, very good taste and build concept
It’s good to see the odd couple back together again 👍
Great to see Al again
And then it blew up mysteriously wow hahaha classic
The way the camera just pans down to Al talking from the trans tunnel actually had me coughing 😭
Look it’s plausible 😂 that’s 100% my handwriting though so I must’ve serviced it!
With the sir clips, as long as you make sure you have the sharp side out. The clip won't come off.
Your algorithm must be going through the roof. I mean this in the kindest way possible woody this isthe first video since you did your building the work shop videos iv been excited to watch i really think if Al would do a monthly appearance it would be great maybe am just stuck in the original skid factory tho
So good to have Al back. Wise goodness in the house
good to see guys back together working on a car
Had a 260z and loved it, the 300z is the only model after that I like the shape of.
Will be looking at a twin plate clutch for lil feral's new twincharge build if I ever get around to doing it.
Great to see Al again, guys an internet legend
Hey up Al and Woody it's funny how back in the day a twin clutch on a 351 used to be replaced with single 11 inch for better driving, nice video
Al needs to come back fulltime.. we love you Turbo Yoda!
Still one of the best project cars on the whole internet, happy to see it (and Al, too!) on the street doing its thing!
Do let us know how the missus likes it too :D
And I think the A70 will look mint parked next to this, eventually.
Love these post-credit clips 🙏❤️
It's great to see Alan come back to UA-cam again, even if it's today.
Also, Alan reminds me of a Nissan Datsun sunny sedan, 4 or a 5 speed manual.
All the wonders of my Asperger's sense of humour.
