Yes I plan on making another when i get the funds up.

Please email me if you have any issues or dont understand anything - I tried my best to make it where you could understand - but some things are hard to explain for everyone to understand. joshds25@yahoo.com

I wouldnt say I skipped arpound - There are so many different ways to do a turbo install - I actully pulled the motor and replaced alot of things - then installed it a broke in my clutch and then did the turbo install.

Its all setup in menus - 1-11

There is no 1 step by step order to install a turbo kit - you can install the turbo first or last - as well as any other parts.

I will admit - it could be done better - it was my very first tech video - and trust me it isnt as easy as it seems - to produce, video tape, while doing all the work by myself.

All my other tech videos are setup to run straight through (no menus) which I think is better.

LMK if you have any questions or concerns and I am open to ideas if you think I could lay it out in a more understandable layout?

The big question is - did the video help you out at all? Even if it helped you on how to remove the injectors for example - then thats is awsome in my mind. Which i am sure it helped more than that.

Have a good one

You can go to my website and view all my videos and detailed descriptions as well as sneak peeks. I have free factory service manuals to download - We are starting to make Nissan/Infiniti Performance parts - I have a guy that makes custom shift boots too!

hey yea it clarified a few things. It would have been better if the turbo was not installed and it was just stock form and then show the audience how you put it on start to finish. I just thought it to be a little confusing have the turbo on the car already. Also I don't think it would cost much if you just paid someone to video tape sense the video itself is about $35 and for one DVD it would cost about $0.50 @ http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp ... 9938019191
So you would be making a profit of $34.50 which is a lot of profit also the video could have been if it were longer. For example the in addition to the pictures you could have recorded how you did the stuff on you S14.

Or you can do a deal maybe someone around your area want a KA-T then you tell him i would do it for free or at the fraction of the price to do the KA-T all he has to do is pay for the parts and record you doing it.

This is just what I believe and yes its a great video but I could have been much better.

Turbo already installed?

It was a stock car and I installed the turbo stuff on it.

Are you sure you watched it? It goes in menus 1-11

Yes there a ton of things I plan on doing differently on the next one

it not about the $$ as they dont sell that great - I wish I could find someone wanting to do a KA-T I would do labor for free! People in my area arent really as cool as they should be. They think they I should pay for everything too! I dont have $$ like that. I cant even afford to do a video out of my pocket.

This video cost me a $12k loan - so when I was finished I had to sell it all - I have afew frinds that help video taping on my other videos - but sometimes you gotta do things alone.

I do know what everything cost as I am making the videos - and trust me its not as easy as it seems - $$ wise its not worth it - but I love doing it thats why I do it.

They are not Million dollar productions - and this was my first video I ever did - so...

Well anyways - you might wanna check the video agin - the turbo was not already installed - I show how to install all the turbo stuff on the video. Thats the whole point behind the video. To show how to install it all.

forgot to add - its not just the cost of a DVD - you have the time of making the DVD - time of editing the video - time of making the video - shipping materials - shipping - paper - printer ink - website fees - paypal fees - man the list goes on and on.

Like I said before $$ wise it is not worth it.

You really have to love to do it. If you expect a profit - then maybe you should open a shop somewhere?

I do these videos in my spare time - its a hobby really.

Have a good one

Thanx man and yes I love when people give good/bad feedback it helps me on the next video - and yes I wish i had more helpful hands around here too.

I would have to say my 5 speed swap DVD is the best yet.

But my 2nd edition of my KA-T DVD will be the best ever - I have a big plan on that - it will be a DVD set by the time I am done with it. It will take me a little while to get help to do it. But no worries I wil get it done.

I am getting ready to get a new job - so more $$ there plus extra time to spare too!

I will be trying to make a small business out of the video making so I can get sponsors to help out too!

I have big plans it just take alot of time and money.

I really dont care about making the $$ - if I do that awsome - but I am happy just being able to play with 240's right now - as I cant even afford to own one! I think thats pretty sad myself.

Have a good one.

I am wondering, once your done with the video why don't you post the Cars on autotrader or craigslist...and tell them how the car was on an instructional tech video and you did it also you can maybe tell them if you want any kind of upgrades done in addition to that just pay for the parts and you would install them, with labor for free...this way you do not have to pay for anything to do another video.

Yeah I post all my cars for sale on all the 240sx websites and autotrader - but they always sell on autotrader and out of towners. Except for 1 s13 shell - I sold to a guy in NY on Zilvia.net

I am actually doing a SR swap DVD in 2 weeks with a guy that lives about 2 hrs away from me - I am trying to talk him into when we get done with the SR video - to sell it all and then do the KA-T videos - I am giving him all free labor - plus a % of video sales!
I think that is a awasome deal - wish someone would offer me a deal like that!

He is wanting to do a DVD set on the SR too - so we will see what happens there.

I have a ton of videos planned - I just hope I will be able to put them out in a timely manner.

When I did my 5 speed swap - it took forever - as work got extrmely busy - I got engaged - we moved - plus I ended up having to pull the motor and tranny 3 different times because of issues! But when I finished with it - that was the nicest car I had ever built!

Me pesonally - I belive the KA-T is cheapier and will be faster when all is said and done.
No flamage needed - some love the SR some love the KA-T
They are both great in their own ways IMO. :wink:

This video should have you covered :wink:

It goes over pretty much the whole install - it does not go into tuning - upgrading (MAFS - Timing)
\
Its more of a turbo install video along with motor/drivetrain maintenance

I actually already have one planned - its just getting up the $$ to do plus finding someone close to me to do it with

In the past I would buy everything - the car and whatever I need to do the videos and when all was done I would have to sale it all to try and get some of my $$ back

So then I thought about it and desided to start finding people to do the videos with
People that were gonna do it anyways and I just hook them up with free laber plus a % of sales on the video.

Its just in my surrounding area (Kannapolis, NC 28081) its tuff to find people even willing to do this - which is beyond me why its so hard to find someone willing?

Either way I will do one - even if its out of my own pocket!

Thanx for the contribution though - it was really a great idea! :idea: :wink:

Oh wow you scared the crap outta me for a min!

Yes Andrew is my Canadian distributor as it cost me $12.00US extra to ship to Canada so it will get there in a reasonable time with tracking.

He however does not have all of my videos in stock

Awsome guy though! He will be thrilled - his sales have been way down too!
