this was amazing. I own a 99 NB and now I finally understood all of the motor parts thanks to your awesome video tutorial on the MX-5 / miata. thanks. 🤙🏎

Dude, mechanical engineer with 40yrs experience here, including welding in heavy industry. Great job. overall. However, for your own safety, and for others who watch: welding produces large doses of full-spectrum UV radiation, including the most carcinogenic Uv (UV-C, which is usually attenuated by the upper atmosphere when it comes from the sun). (GMAW - ie MIG - is especially brutal here.) It is therefore essential to cover all exposed skin to protect yourself from skin cancer. Please don't weld in a T-shirt. I'd sincerely like you to live a long life. Please do not damage your DNA any more in this way. Just a gentle suggestion for your own well-being. Otherwise - great job. A good welding bench pays for itself 100x over in terms of the ROI. Best regards.

Google "Coopers Strip Club" That stuff is the best . It's a New Zealand product

not a good idea to "drop your spark plugs down the chute" unless you like buying new ones or dealing with misfire engine codes since you can easily damage one doing that. best to seat each plug in the spark plug socket and put them in correctly one at a time then torque them to the correct rating.

thanks

A bigger woodruff key would solve that problem too. And you can build it on your own.😇😇

Thank you so much for this guide, truly your time is really appreciated! Got a subscriber out of me! I am a brand new diy mechanic, and my first project car is a Miata have wanted once since 97, finally have time to learn mechanics and enjoy a hobby! Just turned 43 and got a job that pays enough I don’t need to work a ton of Over Time and I can afford to do a project and buy the tools I need!

Thank you so much for this guide

I honstly cannot believe any story that states someone died using paint stripper on a car. If that stuff killed that easy, there is no reason i could be alive today

thank you soo much for such a great instructional video! this has helped me out A LOT

Hope you’re doing well man, your vids got me into restoring my Datsun 260z

Thanks!!! :)

Can you put window film on double pane e rated windows?

Beautiful work and thanks so much for sharing!

Wanted to let you know this video is still helping people! I'm building a utility trailer this Summer and getting all the larger tubing ready for welding, but didn't like how sanding discs chew up the surface and still take a lot of work. Ordered one of these pads from Amazon and it just cut right through the scale in no time. I burned through the entire scotchbrite pad but I've cleaned somewhere around 25-30 square feet of steel in the process. Definitely worth the price for the amount of labor it saved -- thanks for the tip!

This video is soo good

the oliy stuff is called "pickled" and Ive noticed it usually has less mill scale on it.. if your buying small pieces (like 2 x2 or 1x2) lots of places that sell will wipe it down, especially if they are shipping it to you. . "Muratic" acid, (2-7% HLC) works in second s(to destroy mill scale) though you have to wash it off f and dry your work piece thoroughly or it willl rust quickly

just make roller shutters on the outside of the window 😂

The old school strippers were insane. The new stuff sucks but is safer for people not wearing gear.

Fantastic comparison video! It must have been a huge time sink for you but you created the definitive paint stripper review that's helping people years after you made it. Thanks so much!

Hello! Not sure this film is a double pane safe to install.

I have 205/50/15 with 25 offset Advanti Storms on my turbo Miata. I don't seem to have rubbing issues (I don't think). I want to put 225 or 245s on for autocross but I am pretty reluctant on rolling the fenders as I think I wanna try to keep it looking stock/sleeperish.

Wow, This is incredible. One day this will be considered a classic Miata vid.

Cool. But the tests were done on rock bottom THIN paint and primer (car paint). As soon as you try to strip anything thicker than car paint you are in a world of shit. Some areas hold like a mother, others fall off right after applying stripper. Removing the areas that hold kills you. That is how paint or coating thickness works - it does make the surface way, way, way more durable. And beautifully fucked up to strip.

Follow up video? how is it holding up?

excellent, thanks!

Even with those plantation blinds, the house gets heated? Also, now after one year what's your experience, is the film working as it should?

Loving this series! The 280 was my favorite car as a teen. I finally got to buy one years later, an 83 280ZX that was super fun and had no frame rails pretty much. It came with what can jokingly be described as Nissan's factory installed rust. A fun screamer of a car for $600 bucks though. It got hit in an intersection and was replaced with a Nissan Pulsar NX which was also a very fun, albeit slow, car. Did finally get another Z later for a brief period, a 76 280, but ended up selling it because I had nowhere good to store it and was afraid it would end up rusting. You are basically doing here what I always wanted to do with the 280ZX. Just redo the whole thing. Cool to watch someone actually doing this!

Izzat a 240Z?

Thank you! trying to get mine running after sitting for many many years. no spark!

Is 5-w40 ok that’s what I saw😭

I have older windows and had to cut about 50 squares 😂

You try to keep your house cooled to 70deg when it’s 90deg outside? What? Yea, that’s excessively cold; no wonder your ac can’t keep up. You might want to move to Canada if you want it to be that cold. Good video. Thanks for the info!

Why is it when I ask google specifically,, how to change clutch plates in an 1996 automatic , AWD,AWS, GTO gives me this ,,,no disrespect to you guys good job

What model GoPro are you using and how much does it cost you

Nice vid. Somebody put the alternator belt on upside before you.

Any update on datsun ?

If you included an example of stripper that had methylene chloride, around 90% of the paint would have come off within 2 minutes and left bare metal.

Great video...well done!

Do you clean the metal before using the grinder to remove mill scale

I was not on the fence. I had a 1973 Blue Datsun 240z 4 speed.I enjoyed the car in my college and dating days!

Absolutely what I was looking for. I’m a complete beginner when it comes to car repairs etc. I’m a car person but not a mechanic. This video was completely what I was looking for since I had no idea where the lift points were for the miata. However I don’t think the jack stands should be on the frame at the very ends, not on the ribbed part of the body.

There’s not even anything wrong with my Miata, I just love rewatching this video because of how relaxing and in depth it is.

Hi, Is the reflection making some discomfort to your neighbor in front of you? Mine is closer to my hose rather your but I wouldn’t cause any discomfort over my own comfort. What can you share about?

How about 225/50 r15 tyres?

Well, try something else. 3M fibra base plate 64861 combine with fibra stone grinding disk. You will be surprise.

You can thank Joe Biden for banning the good paint stripper and leaving us with this crap.
