WOW! what a project, the boys at MCM are doing something very similar now. A lot of work, loved your detailed pics tells the story well. Beautiful car, must be a joy to drive. Thanks for sharing.
Did leave not one bolt/screw unturned....Awesome build...Extremely detailed build/repair/modification/fab work! Beauitful production and outcome...I would've placed the turbo inlet filters forward of the radiator core support to receive cool pressurized air possible lowering my intake temps...other than that this build was untouchable!
Coming from an electrician, inspecting beautiful work never gets old. We electricians always judge other guys’ work whenever we go into an electrical room; and we can be brutal in our assessment.
At 0:50 and again at 3:20 the trans support looks to be inadequately engineered for the task... Woefully so! It desperately needs some body attachment points at the rear of the flanges! I LOVED the fuel tank and intercooler mods!
Well at least he put a Nissan six in it! and the RB is a nice engine, I had a Skyline GTST after my 240Z that I loved as a drivers car, but I have to say I prefer a NA engine with triple carbs to the turbo, nicer power curve and instant throttle response.
Awesome build, really sense to detail. Its hard work, but in the end, you build your dream car, not just bought it :-) See my AE86 build, its very familiar build :-)
I would love to do a restoration on a number of cars but dont have the tools or know how to complete such a huge project but i would love to do one in the coming years.
Great Build...I was thinking that some how the work done or video shown was out of sequence because you where doing such a great job but at different times you had me thinking you weren't going to paint! I still wonder if you at some point went down to bare metal. Great Job again! I'm sure you already know this. :)
Ive got a 260 that's got but 27k on it and have been dreaming of this swap for years after nixing the chevy swap idea. Thanks for the video! Did you buy your motor from one of these JDM suppliers ?
Are the cut outs in the fenders at the back of the hood functional vents like on some of the 240z Fairladys? Or are they block off plates? The vents I have seen are a black plastic louvre with chrome tipped fins.
To build this and not have a shop do it ,,you are looking $30,000 in parts ,,seals,mods,this and and that, if you do the work yourself,,,,if you where to have a shop do all this $60,000
This won't even be 30k. Looks like a r32 rb26dett. Those can be found for 3k if you do good searches. Even getting a race rebuild would cost just around 8k. And the fabrication and purchase of a Fairlady chassis isn't more than 8k in total seeing the chassis state in the pictures. So u can look at around 20-21k max even including mistakes and post build tune ups. And I cn see this guy's didn't go for any big engine rebuild so just simply take one fourth of that cost as the rebuild budget. That gets is below 15k
You're so naive. Your not accounting for all the little stuff, as well as steal he bought. Also, seeing as it looks like he did most of the fab work himself, the cost of operating all the tools such as a welder for hours on end. Also, the paint alone would be at least 5k plus seeing as the inside, cage, all that was gone through. If those are real watanabe, that would of ran him 5k with tires alone. I wouldn't be surprised if hes closer to the $40k mark on this build. 15k would not get you anywhere near this level of a car, even if you did all the work yourself.
xStr8UPDoPex the hilarious thing is all this fab in my country actually costs even less. I actually took a cushion over the general costs it takes me here. I guess you are making the budget estimate based on the inflation rates in your country.
Shivam Vaid where the hell are you finding s30 chassis in that price? In the entire state of Arizona I've only found 1 that was under 10k.. And it was a rust bucket 😂
This is great, but first gen Zs shouldn't be modded this extensively. Get yourself one with the same body style that isn't so collectible to do this stuff with.
You know this is a legit S30 build when he replaces the lower control arm spindle bushings. That task is a serious undertaking!
This ia how you build a car. No fuckin 2j no bullshit 350 smallblock. Straight nissan powah. 👍
Turbo 6.0 Chevy V8. mmmmmm let me taste your tears as i can put down 650rwhp without issue.
This is awesome, I'm planning to restore an S30.
Thanks for the extra drive to do so.

I'm blown away by people craft and talent. Incredible job

Talk about commitment. Awesome build
Nice! Just saw a somewhat similar build at my local Cars and Coffee with RB25DET in a 240Z.
XR4ti I've seen that car before, did the license plate say "Gallo 25"
No, it's plate # referred the engine designation
Thanks for sharing, that is an awesome orange color!

my son has a hot wheels that looks just like your car, congratulations is very beautiful!
this is what one would call dream car
You have some skills!
Very clean build
I can't wait for MightycarMods RB26 240z! Those guys explain what they do really well. They also don't just use a slideshow!
Fuck yeah ... a Z back on the road ... nice !
Well at least he put a Nissan six in it! and the RB is a nice engine, I had a Skyline GTST after my 240Z that I loved as a drivers car, but I have to say I prefer a NA engine with triple carbs to the turbo, nicer power curve and instant throttle response.
I usually hate these slideshow style videos. But damn. That is an extremely well executed build. Looks awesome
Matt from the Smoking Tire needs to hunt these people down n drive 'em!
Perfect. Beautiful.
ripper superb fantastic well done
Hello,Thank you for the wonderful video. 👍😊
Very nice build montage, it would be nice to see the car run though.
Very beautiful car well done
What a wonderful car!!
Awesome build, really sense to detail. Its hard work, but in the end, you build your dream car, not just bought it :-) See my AE86 build, its very familiar build :-)
This is like the 6th 240z build video ive watched
awesome job. Beautiful car.
I would love to do a restoration on a number of cars but dont have the tools or know how to complete such a huge project but i would love to do one in the coming years.
thank god you use back the ITB from the RB26 !!
Beautiful build!

Awesome build!
Outstanding work!

２５年前ならもっと新鮮に見れたんだが。当時３０とか１３０にみんなのせてたよね。ボディー、駆動系もたなくてみんな泣いてたけどｗ 作りは綺麗。

beautiful car... i would love to do something like that...how much did it cost just on the parts and mods?

My dream car.
*Akio Has Joined The Chat*

Literally a "Shit-Ton" of work...nicely done

epic build. would love to see vid and hear it. do you have an approximate or estimate of the cost of the build including man hours? Thumbs up.
Beautiful car ....wish mine was at beautiful
夢のようなZエンジン音が聞きたい。
RB26ツインターボの破壊力が、このボディーで受け止められるのか？単にレストアするだけで事足りる事なのか？補強は必要ですよね！
Is there a good blog or some kind of documentation on parts or any modifications? Especially suspension components. I am looking to do this.
Look on Super Street Online for the article "Retro Rocket"
Yg paling ok cuman acara ini,,, jujur aja
Not a bad way to spend $30k
and be able to spank a lot of cars priced over that new!

Veeeeeeery clean, love it
How much custom fabrication work did you have to do in order to complete this?
Were you able to wire the stock signals mate
You sure you used the right gauge and tensile strength metal on some of them structural components you sectioned in?
Can you tell me which mounts and gearbox you use? Mounts looks great. Tnx.
George van Iwaarden would also love to know what transmission they went with.
McKinney Motorsport Engine and Trans mounts. R33 GTS-T RWD 5-Speed
Where did you buy all the interior parts like door panels and window seals?
