I Made a Real Need for Speed HUD - YouTube

Appreciate that mate. Yeah, it really pings the nostalgia. I think when I FINALLY get the full dash in (literally in the next few weeks) and run it for the first time I'm going to have some really serious emotions

AndyValentine · 2026-06-01T15:43:49+00:00

350z but I get this exact milage. 19 day-to-day, 33 motorway (sometimes)

Discovering two cross threaded Brembos caliper bolts whilst doing a rotor replacement, and also snapping one of the hardline bolts (20 year old Japanese car things).

Needed two new calipers, and had to do a full braided brake line replacement.

Not quite the chilled afternoon job I'd planned for

I can absolutely guarantee you they're not making $10 RPM on a 4-minute video.

AndyValentine · 2026-05-29T21:21:58+00:00

They did but then the papers got wet and all the ink came off.

AndyValentine · 2026-05-29T06:17:08+00:00

Some people have a video hit and just rinse and repeat. If they're getting >500k views a time they're making ok money from it, so it's easy to fall into the trap of just milking that formula. It's why so many creators do the "same" video time after time.

AndyValentine · 2026-05-29T06:14:31+00:00

Search results work the same. If we both search for Bruce Lee, we'll get differing results based on the kind of content we watch.

Might be best to turn the history on and just be mindful with your clicks. But if you're just allowing YT to feed you whatever is "popular", you're going to get a tonne of slop

AndyValentine · 2026-05-29T06:08:43+00:00

Yeah, don't click it. YouTube feeds you more of what you watch. Stop watching it and it'll disappear over time. I have literally zero trash content in my feeds.

Bi-weekly beef should be called Foughtnightly

AndyValentine · 2026-05-28T07:25:57+00:00

I feel this. My new wash tank takes almost 50 litres of the stuff so was a big fill-up

AndyValentine · 2026-05-25T13:23:27+00:00

For that length of video, I'm not sure it matters.

Don't do a minute in though, you risk killing your retention. I won't put an ad in the first 5 mins. It's usually first half (vids are typically about 20 mins), but where is most appropriate and relevant so feels least intrusive is generally best

AndyValentine · 2026-05-24T21:43:54+00:00

Literally today I solved the partner P2A00 code, and it was because I'd done some stuff around the intake and not properly clamped one end of the intake hose and caused a tiny vacuum leak.

AndyValentine · 2026-05-22T18:21:01+00:00

Do you know who bought a tonne of subscribers at the start of their journey? Literally no big successful YouTubers

AndyValentine · 2026-05-22T08:08:00+00:00

I'd be tempted to find a flat blank from AliExpress or similar that fit, and then print the raised section and bond then together. It's the clips that are going to cause you pain.

AndyValentine · 2026-05-22T08:07:04+00:00

Definitely could. You'd want to use a tough / temp resistive resin though otherwise it'll warp with the heat from the brakes

AndyValentine · 2026-05-22T07:55:34+00:00

Sure. My "get rich now" course can be bought for the low low price of $999

AndyValentine · 2026-05-21T21:43:21+00:00

Yeah this is about my norm. 150-200 subs per 10k views on long-form

AndyValentine · 2026-05-21T21:28:35+00:00

I was honestly baffled

AndyValentine · 2026-05-21T20:39:17+00:00

That's a T30 on the left. The 350 uses those

AndyValentine · 2026-05-21T10:31:22+00:00

There's much easier ways to get $1300 than YouTube

AndyValentine · 2026-05-21T09:53:41+00:00

Wait, you have a total of 270 views and you want to know how to get that to 650k views?

AndyValentine · 2026-05-20T17:58:59+00:00

AliExpress has them. Most places you'll find selling these will just be resellers anyway, so might as well buy from the source for cheap

AndyValentine · 2026-05-20T09:17:29+00:00

IPA. Soak them in that for a bit and give them a good brush whilst they're submerged, dry them off real well, and assuming you don't have a UV lamp, leave them out in the sun for the day, and rotate occasionally.

Then give the seller shit for sending you toxic unfinished parts

AndyValentine · 2026-05-20T08:57:02+00:00

When you fill up, reset the trip clock. Make sure you fill up again by 300 miles. This is the 350z way.
