hey what's up guys Jase two cents and we are starting work on skunk works finally with its specifically tuned copper base and maintenance free plug and play operation the EVGA 980 TI hybrid offers ultra-fast gaming performance at the lowest temperatures possible click the link in the description for more details so the orange build is moving forward we're going to go ahead and start some of the blog's here and I know I already did a vlog showing you some of the parts I was putting in and because of the fiasco I had with the block on the motherboard not fitting I decided I was gonna go ahead and change a few other things while I was in there completely unnecessary and mostly cosmetic but hey that's that's the story of my life so I got all the new stuff that I needed there the new block for the motherboard that fits it properly this right here is actually the clear Evo block I'm gonna be using I've got to clean it a little bit of blue chilling in there right now from this was actually the one that was in the apartment build we got a new supremacy Evo right here in black that I've got to find a use for I actually cannot find the installation kit for this I don't know what to do with it some lost somewhere in the water cooling closet anyway I've already installed the motherboard blocks the proper ones on here I'll show you guys those I'm it but we're going to start with doing the orange tops here on the corsair dominator Platinum Ram a lot of folks have asked Jay where did you get those tops holy crap what are the colors are available I got this directly from course there that's why they're packaged like this because they're not for sale individually they have a special edition 16 gigabyte kit of RAM of the Dominator platinum series because you're chirping birds and stuff the windows open it's a nice day outside oh and there's the coolant as you guys can see it has not fallen out with just one of the reasons why I mixed it and let it sit I want to see if it would fall out and it has sit mixed in perfectly in the PCP or coolant there from primo chill mixed with some Mayhem's orange dye but anyway so they have the orange tops that are part of a kit already and I requested these individually which they graciously sent but normally you cannot buy these individually so want to kind of put that out there what I'm gonna do right now is I'm gonna go ahead and put the tops on you're just some tiny tiny tiny a bit of focus come on focus these are some really small allen heads right they're very small as you can see compared to my fat thumb there so I was lucky enough it actually had a Torx bit that fit in there just fine I think it's like a t1 or t2 like something super small but anyway we want to change those out and then we'll see how they look so I've got the top bar off of one of the corsair dominator platinum sticks and i want to show you here kind of how the screws work as you can see they just sort of push through and then kind of like where's my fingers at look Rep they just kind of like clamp together they go away through the hole there both sides of the holes this is the most festive Christmas baby in all of Christmas this is the most festive baby you know hey say hi Internet no don't grab the memory oh man she's reaching for the ramp say hi Internet say hi Internet hi yeah you freaky good right now one thing to keep in mind is these are not the lighted bars but some of these like special edition ones or lighted versions have kind of like see-through cutouts right here that LEDs that are in between the heat spreader right here right down in there will light on both ends and then you've got a plastic bar very similar to this that will just kind of it'll sit in there and then light will reflect through the bar and then show up through the top right here so I just want to kind of show how that works for some folks who may have never seen the inside of Dominator Ram I don't I do not have the lighted version so we won't be seeing any lights on these unfortunately I'm in cool lab orange LEDs though right then you get out how to use Corsair link which I don't want to use anyway all right so here they are yeah I mean I want to mention this real quick a lot of people ask me why I got the orange tops instead of just taking these off and painting these a question especially since that's pretty much the option most of you guys would have to go because like I said these are not readily available by themselves to the public so because I had the option of getting these you know that being a big youtuber in the PC space does have its benefits and I do like to leverage that when I can I want the orange tops because they're anodized they're not the paint is it gonna flake off I have to worry about taking the time to paint in or worry about the tolerances for these small holes is you fit pretty snug on the RAM and it's not going to cover up where it says Dominator ddr4 it's gonna all show however these are very very paintable it's very easy so it's something that I would I mean we're going to keep these around in case I ever change the color scheme again I can paint these and then take the orange tops off but I'm always a fan of anodizing when you can get it I mean these are aluminum or aluminium depending on which you know country you're from then you guys would know aluminum when you when you anodized it you basically put it in a chemical bath the pores open up it absorbs the dye and then the metal itself becomes that color doesn't flake off isn't scratch off or chip she strengthens the aluminum as well so I like anodizing when you can and it's actually a pretty good pretty good color match to all the other orange I'm going to be using so yeah there's that it's going look at the motherboard so here's the motherboard my SOC champion you guys saw the video of me trying to put on the other block which fit down here but the vrm block did not fit as you can see here is uh some people might automatically be going what the heck J why is it clear plexi and nickel well that's because ek for whatever reason has not made a black version for the motherboard but this is all it's available so I decided to go ahead and switch like I said all of the blocks to clear including the ones for the graphics cards now this is one of the blocks right here it's actually on a 980 TI I already had this block so I haven't sent me two more that way I have to waste one this is what it's going to look like granted this one here has the Chrome or nickel plated back I won't be using that I'll be putting the black ones on I like it for a couple of reasons one it's going to be lighter because it doesn't carry all the way to the end and two I'm going to be able to see inside because if you remember I said I have a feeling that my block on the Titans might be getting clogged in there because the temperatures have been steadily going up and the flow inside the loop is very very poor so I'm going to be taking out the other blocks and I figured instead of disassembling them and cleaning them I'm gonna do a separate video on that that won't indict you know will determine how long my system is down so I'm going to be putting the clear blocks in like this all around plus you'll be able to see the orange fluid in there which is going to be really nice at least if I was looking up at the system and I'll have an inverted systems you won't see it but you'll see the orange going through here through the CPU block and through the VRMs so I just wanted to show that yeah we'll do that what I'm gonna do right now too is I'm going to get this kind of situated here I'm going to put my 5820k in here just so that I could get it spaced up properly and that's actually wrong it's bugging me right there there we go I might take this bracket off right here and paint it orange as well because that black kind of stands out as being improper I don't know we'll see we'll see what I do a lot of these builds I just sort of do them I don't plan out everything very very very well I just sort of go I think you guys noticed that but anyway I got to clean that blue out like I said I've got to switch the internal jet in there for the x99 or the 2011 socket that way we have a proper flow right now that's set for z97 or you know like 4790k 6700 KX that our Exeter anyway well figure out these fittings and how all this is going to go together because as you can see we've got a lot of fittings really close together here here here here here and here that all of these have to tie in and I want it to look neat at the same time and that's what she looks like with the orange Ram eye bits it's funny how it doesn't look like the rims covers we're gonna match the orange on the motherboard but they they do they look pretty damn good let's take the fluid oh just kind of put that over here too so you can see we got a pretty nice shade of orange going snap orange it's more of a burnt orange but I really like the way that that looks that looks really really good and it's flowing all through the blocks and you know you're gonna have three of these bad boys chilling in there it's not gonna look so bad I one of the things I mentioned earlier that I did too was I'm replacing all of the fittings in my system with the if you really see that I'm replacing them with nickel-plated fittings instead of black and I've got all new nickel-plated revolver fittings for the hardline tubing because I just kind of want to bring a little bit of bling to the system I've always thought orange and bling looked really good like Chrome or nickel plating so we're redoing all of these fittings as well completely unnecessary but just fun so why wouldn't we there we go all clean and now it's got the proper jet plate in there for 2011 - great so this is going to be a challenge we looked at look how close together these are um I want this side to be the inlet I don't it doesn't matter which order it goes in whether it goes chipset CPU vrm or CPU chipset vrm and now it doesn't matter it's all going to be the same at the end of the day not to mention this does not really get very hot this is just honestly is going to be a lot of aesthetics here the VRMs can get pretty hot during overclocking but again I guess it's not going to matter at the end of the day but I think it looks good as you can see I went with all the nickel-plated fittings so it's going to look really good but right now we're going to do a little bonus content here in this blog I'm going to head over to the Nissan Fontana Nissan race shop which has my car right now we'll do a little blog over there we'll talk with Chris who's a GTR master mechanic working on my car and we'll just kind of do some sneak peek of what's coming up with the 370z Nismo if you don't follow me on social media you should because you would already know that I bought a 370z Nismo to replace the 350 automatic transmission you gotta take out all the exhaust and they still have carbon-fiber driveshafts in three 70s right I did like carbon-fiber driveshafts resonators there so I imagine what he's in here he inspects all like for a lot burying and all that stuff you don't typically replace that unless it goes bad or does that come with the new clutch kit alright guys so this is Chris over here master mechanic at mesa fontana nissan race shop works on mostly stuff like this over here gt-r their gt-r they're made a little time for my little poor man sports car are literally doing right now I'm installing a new pilot bushing it was pretty tough good bad so that's my new lightweight flywheel right yes sir is there a is there a vetting process that happens with a new clutch like this just drunk-drive reserved for about 500 miles okay that's going to be hard most spirited driving okay so we did the what JWT wolf kit on this right correct so let's consider the stage - absolutely so what's that going to be like compared to the OEM clutch and pedal feel om clutch pedal feel is going to be the same the advantage to this flywheel it's going to rev up faster because there's less rotating mass it did feel like this car read pretty slow you know when in neutral if I read it I don't know if maybe the electronic throttle just wasn't responding as fast it's in neutral they felt kind of slow the difference in Y won't wait is probably about 10 to 15 pounds right and that's a lot of unsprung weight there to be turning correct all right so that will hopefully get some revs up quicker there am I gonna smell anything while this is breaking in if I'm driving it gingerly probably not okay what the old Fletcher look like this it right here I'm curious as to what that pressure plate looked like because it was stinky if I got on it there's your flywheel hot spotted him everything okay so this is all bad right for me with the doing proud neutral draw or clutch drops and burnouts most likely but you can see the glazed portion of the actual oh yeah course plate or so so just blazing here this why I was getting some intermittent flipping that's where I was slipping up if it wasn't slipping all the time but every now and then it seemed like it would just randomly slip on me so I know if it was pressure plate or what both see your heart so your hot spots on your pressure plate so I made the right call then thinking it didn't feel right right hey not bad for a guy who owned an automatic okay so this is Scott Scott is my parts guy here at Fontana Nissan and you were founded the ratio I did how long ago was that I was a 7 years ago and why did you do that I mean dealerships aren't normally synonymous with performance shops or more to sports well seven years ago I met the owner and friends and he wanted to surah nother company gave me a folding table and put me on the stairs make it happen so so it helps having a dealer owner that's enthusiast yes you know just a parts guy you also have unlimited class Sentra right I do b14 Sentra about 400 horsepower to the wheels I think looks light though it's gated right it's really good at caged and custom arrow the car weighs about 2300 pounds so it's very sensitive in every which way with for turning breaking everything it does really well right but uh drive it I've got a friend that loves his GTI Golf and I keep telling him I personally can't drive a front-wheel drive if I get into like a good simulator with a front-wheel drive car I'm off the track because it's backwards from rear-wheel drive in terms of getting on the throttle you turn wide get off the throttle it turns in which is you know obviously in a rear-wheel drive car you get on the throttle mid-turn you start to go wider start to a swing out so it's so backwards from what I'm used to yeah things just gotta be brave and trust the car you know if the car starts you know losing grip and you're over steering your tendency would be to lift on the throttle whereas with a frontal Drive you actually gonna stay on it and let your front tires play out of it so you also a moto enthusiast right I am so you're a motorcycle rider as well as a racecar driver these are facts all right so go ahead well you got a channel don't ever what about your channels our channel is The Adventures of Scott and carry on on YouTube put a link I'll put a link in the description to so you guys can see it and they say my my girlfriend and I were motovloggers basically you'll follow us on our adventures whether it be supermoto do sports or on sport bikes I like when you and your girlfriend are riding because you have radio with each other so you can hear each other's audio yes as you know your you've got two different camera perspectives hers and yours and you switch back and forth and your editing between what's going on seems like she's always breaking down though I see a lot of first starts with lift up with that that is their super motors which is fine right oh we're having issues with Bob with the battery because she went to that supermoto day and fell in love with him right yes we went to a SoCal supermoto school and she had a blast and two weeks later she had a supermoto to the collection so there you guys I mean you can see right there is he's not where the hell am i okay he's not only a place i racecar driver but he's a motorcycle rider it goes out and does videos on that with a female which is already like Rare she's she's a unicorn right she seemed like a pretty confident rider - I don't do motorcycles not because I don't trust myself but I don't trust anyone else on the road so you guys already braver than me so this question actually came for one of my followers the accubow no compares to the Brembo doing a very similar design right acavano versus Brembo which one and why Akebono with a few modifications or better break 5 modifications as in like rotors ok advances rotors cosmos slaughters will have you the Brembos are smaller 350z were 13-inch rotors but they cool better right so it's just for my experiences and feedback with customers who track their car the small upgrade as an brake rotors will take away a lot of the great vibrations near the warped rotors so obviously with my 3:50 having a brand new you know rebuilt Brembo system on there it's the track version so from 2004 but with like you said the upgraded stop Tech's lotted rotors stainless steel lines and the higher temp brake fluid quite a few people have driven my car said it feels like you've got a lot of initial bike with my brakes via this car in its current condition doesn't that's why I'm having you do stainless steel brakes and flush it new pads do you think a lot of the sponginess I feel right now is just wear and tear these brakes possibly but the initial bike is in the pad material right really fun field you're going to feel spongy just go away with the stainless steel brake right like I kind of scared myself a little bit in this car when I first got in it because I'm used to that initial bite to where I felt like I had to push the pedal down a quarter to a half to really get it to start fighting so I'm hoping when you put the HP s because we're doing HKS pads in this right yeah with the stainless steel lines that it's going to feel better yeah do you think it will go proper braking yes and then the still and intakes we're doing I hear you hear a lot of you know the intakes don't make a huge difference but apparently Stillen has stumbled onto some science with where they put their map sensor versus the length of the tube so people are seeing real-world anywhere from 10 to 17 wheel horsepower improvements even though the filter is going to be tucked up above the crash beam behind the nose so there's not going to even be necessarily a high pressure zone there so it's not like a ram effect but you said you sold a lot of them and you've had a lot of good experience with them yeah because there's a lot of options out there when it comes to intakes and you know you've got a e/m that brings it down kneel behind the wheel well here you've got KNN typhoon which is you know up in the engine bay with some block off plates to try and block heat in turn also Mixon they come down here right those people complain our water yeah so well Yeah right right in other states for the a lot of rain it's funny though you got a lot of cold weather guys who don't worry about engine cooler or coolers as much but here in the desert that's like the biggest thing sitting in traffic I'm Thanksgiving Day when I bought this it was 65 degrees in the oil Tim still got to 240 in traffic and we're talking you know the car may be solved 2,000 rpm for 20 miles and it still got up to crept up to 240 degrees on a 63 degree day I mean that was crazy that bugged me when I saw that we got some things to do this car Chris is the man that Scott said is we want working on your car so if you guys own a Nissan and you want the best work done in Southern California apparently people drive in from out of state to see this guy so we got a we've got the Jays two cents of PARs working on my car right now just like people from around the world want my computers they want his automotive work done okay so I just saw how long this blog went so I'm gonna go ahead and end this one now guys I know it's a little different car stuff I've only done car things one other time on the main channel but it's stuff that I'm into so I know I'm not the only one that's into that stuff I thought I'd go ahead and share it but I also wanted the point of this blog to be that as you can see we do have things underway with the build and as you can see things are a little bit messy it's kind of the way I like it though I like it when things are a little disheveled and as I've pointed on the livestream that box right there is going to have parts for the bill but I'm going to be doing Oh next week I hope we're gonna be doing a giveaway of a computer yay all right guys time to get out of here thanks for watching follow on Twitter and Facebook and all that fun stuff in Instagram and I will see you in the next one
