    Keep this GTR on the channel... the upgrades are nearly endless. My 17 year old and I bought a 2014 with 1,800 miles on it and having a blast with the car.
  • @6SpeedVert
    I really like this channel, dude is smart, likable, and makes a nice video with a lot of detail and no stupid cliff hangers or drama. I also like that he doesn't talk bad about everyone and everything to try and make himself seem so smart, his work shows that.
  • @CycleWorxRacing
    what impresses me the most is your ability to dive into a new to you platform like you have been working on that platform for years, ability to connect the dots as well! great video bud!!
  • I love your content so much. A TRUE car enthusiast. Not just a chevy or a Ford guy. Just a guy who loves all cool cars. Mercedes, turbo trans am, DeLorean and even DSM and GTRs... I always get excited when I get a notification for a legitstreetcars video. Makes my day.
  • @tennaj1367
    I''ll say it again...The guy who stopped his bid at $46,400 is punching the air right now after watching this video! 🤣🤣
  • @joefilipelli3867
    27:10 "i saw a cool carbon fiber one that i might get one day" is car guy code for its ordered and will be here in a few days 🤣 🤣 🤣 love it Alex!
  • @elmostro8475
    I can speak for everyone when I say there are LITERALLY NO FLAWS the channel. Combination of content NEVER boring moment. The learning curve of the crucial info as minimal or big it's all so helpful. You are blessed, my brother . Wish the very best to you and your family and crew to the channel. Take care and keep being you. God bless.
  • Thanks Alex -- Glad we could help! Let us know if you, or anyone else, is in need of some transmission parts / services!
  • @chesa6795
    I appreciate Alex showing the process of overcoming challenging issues. He doesn't just go from broken to fixed, making it look like he knows it all. He shows his thought process, each of his fails to fix and finally arriving at the solution. It encourages backyard mechanics to keep trying and how to go about problem solving. Not everything works out on the first try. Many thanks, Alex, for your honesty and integrity.
  • @justinoliver1984
    Alex, I've gotta say. You're probably my favorite hands on automotive YouTuber. Your filming style, explanations, and willingness to be transparent with your audience is just great. Plus you sharing your knowledge is fantastic. Can't say thank you enough. Look forward to every Sat. morning.
  • @jamescrowley2733
    My friend worked on exotics. But he said Japanese cars are the only car engineered for mechanics. Big difference to German engineers
  • @johnh3095
    I love your unforced delight at how this car A) runs and B) is built! The Japanese definitely know how to put something together correctly! Keep this on the channel, don't care if you do mega horsepower or just a little bit, I kinda like the stockness GTR! Love the channel and the depth of detail you go into stripping the cars down! That'd what keeps me entertained! You're the slightly older Matt Armstrong, positive and enthusiastic!
  • The nismo cap is offered by nissan. It's oem with a nismo stamp. They have Radiator caps, oil caps, oil pan bolt/nut (magnetic), nismo lug nuts, air valve stem caps. Basically, the person before was a nissan guy and loved nismo and got nismo Oem parts
  • @LongTimeAgoNL
    Out of all the lemons of people who treated their GTR's poorly... This one is an absolute beast, what a gift. Please restore it and enjoy it!
  • @chriscraft3826
    I can't add too much more to the compliments already written below. This has become my favorite channel and I always look forward to the next episode. You have the talent and personality to have your own TV show. Your easy going approach to problem solving issues is a model for all to follow. ...Kudos
  • @MarioGoatse
    Man I am living vicariously through you Alex. This GTR series has been genuinely thrilling. I had the biggest smile when you started it up again after doing the spark plugs and everything. Thank you so much for doing these videos. You definitely ARE living the dream, and you deserve it. Cheers from Sydney Australia! 🇦🇺
  • @TheMotto122
    shep transmission is KING! i ordered full built transmission back in the day to Dubai! i installed it and drove the car for 800km and the transmission died on me after that. i contacted shep transmission they shipped my busted transmission to USA rebuilt it fully to spec i ordered at the start. fully covered by shep transmission shipping and parts what can i say more!! A man of his word shep transmission is KING !!!!
  • @wzbhnn
    Don’t forget to call Carfax to ask them to change the Miles to Kilometers. They are pretty easy to work with as long as you show them the evidence of your claim. Otherwise you essentially end up with a TMU unit with the Carfax mileage discrepancy.
  • @klassyedward9718
    Your enthusiasm is refreshing, knowledge you share is like good food. I watched you after midnight, tried to sleep and reopened to peek twice more after two a.m. first after coffee, back to the G.T.R. Exciting to absorb your videos. I am an old motor head, my challenges were a bit less complicated as they are now. The G.T.R. is a very attractive machine, love the technology. Keep on keeping on, great stuff!
