the fact it's actually been a year is absolutely insane, it feels like it's been longer now i think about it. i can't wait to see the full car done, it's gonna be crazy.
I honestly thought it would've been a bit less, but like you said the small things really do add up. Also, the flashbacks to the build take me right back to the winter when I first started watching. I'd have your playlists going out in the garage for as long as I could without freezing my 🍑 off.
Good job covering all the info. Oh and yeah the chrome bezels are on the 99+ jdm Z32's. They come with hid's standard. Very very expensive for what is worth. Oh another fun fact this headlights are also on the Nissan R390
I saw a turbo in the box I cant wait dor the next video!!! Also please dont part out the black 300zx its such a beoutifull car and rare one please dont take another one of the road Anyways i love your videos so much and it also got me into cars ( i have a celica)
I got a 2004 Volvo v70r manual I’ve had it for almost a year at this point. I’m a college student so driving between school and home I’ve put around 15k on it
dude i got a 92 dodge stealth rt twin turbo, i have 2 bigger turbos and fuel injectors coming in. yesterday i was working on putting some coilkovers to slam the car and after getting my ass handed to me by the 32 year old seized hardware and only being able to install one coilover. the car wouldn't start. all i would hear was a click. i thought it was a bad battery so this morning i bought and installed the battery and still nothing. was feeling really down about it, but i did my research and found its a common issue that u cant stop, but it does have solution. i ordered the stuff i need and after seeing this video my motivation is back
hey prizza mike im loving all the videos you do man since day one you've been legit and super informative about cars and body work ect i just bought a 03 acura tl for cheap not the best condition but a great fixer up and cause you and the videos i seen from you doing the interior ect i legit made the acura tl interior like new lol but its (NASTY TAN COLOR) ikr everyones favorite and i took out hella dents lol thank you
I would have guess around 10k not including wheels and body kit. But 14 still doesn’t seem crazy because having to buy so many little things adds up to like buying one big purchase like ecu or exhaust etc. Honestly I’m not the biggest fan of the 300zx model as a whole, but I absolutely love yours. Probably the best 300zx out there in my opinion, and it’s still not even painted yet! 🤘🏻
That sounds about right. lol Thought I could save some money by working on my own car and collecting parts from junkyards, but omg, definitely spent more in the last 2 years than the previous 13 combined taking to a shop. Don’t really know how that happened. Appreciate you being honest about your build number though!👍 P.s. Miss Fran adding some balance to the bro-heavy content, but I get it, sometimes you’ve gotta take a break😉
, cool build Mike 👌🏻😀for your interior panels, and mouldings, I've come up with an idea for a classic car I'm after, same model my Mum and Dad had before I was born...and I've designed the full interior and decided I'm going to mould the whole dash board with Aluminium sheet and use the original wood trim inserts and clock surround, that'd look totally insane in your Z all the mouldings in brushed or polished alu sheet
I know how it is. I’ve E34 M20B25. Haven’t done any performance stuff, haven’t done any huge visual difference. Just did sports interious, MTech 1 wheel, different smaller things inside as an options, some springs, wheels and maintanance, over the I’ve spent around 4K€. I think that sky is the limit for project/daily cars.
Very respectfully, I thought the point of moding a older car of this generation was for saving money, at 14k plus body kit and wheels/tires, let's call it 17k. You can get some really cool cars for not much more. Even tuner type cars. V8 muscle cars for sure. Wrx type stuff. This guy is sooo good with a wrench he has saved himself a ton of money vs paying someone to do all this work. 17k kinda surprised me.
It has already been a year???? If someone would ask me for how long you have been building this I would have said like 3 months. Its just crazy how fast time flies by.
Mike, you've done such an awesome job bringing the 300ZX back to life. So very impressive your skills are amazing. I totally enjoy watching each new episode. Keep up the great work! Also, say Hi 👋 to Franzy for me.
Dude there is no way it's been a yr already with the fairlady ? Wow time Flys now, you really do make the most of your time my guy!! Always makin moves
13:28 I feel attacked my tacoma has tan interior😂 I would change it to gray but it’s expensive and almost impossible to find all the parts for it near me
$14,000 sounds like more than I would have thought. Then I add up my project, and I realize you’ve gotten way more done with the money you’ve spent haha. Cars are expensive
Mike your car is the total personification of you , and it's amazing dude. Love your channel and everything about the Z. I'm really keen to see how it looks in the end but man the journey has been so worth it. Well done mate Mark
Im loving your 2+2, cant wait to hear it boosted. Just to clarify, some convertibles were the only ones that got the bone interior and the jdm 99 spec cars had optional hid headlights that came with the chrome inserts. They were available for sale for years until recently.. Nissan NLA'ed them.
I have a 1990 JDM RHD 2+2 TT auto 14:36 Big screen is for washer fluid lights, HICAS, Anti-lock (ABS) system, cruise + cruise control indication, tail warning lights 14:41 Small screen is for A/T hold, Overdrive, A/T power. This is only for automatic cars afaik
I drive a 1999 Toyota Camry which I bought with 286,000kms (177,712M) last April so in a little over a year ive put almost 37,000kms (22,900M) on it as it now sits at 323,000kms or 200,702 Miles, Love your content, All the work I’ve done to my car I’ve logged in my notes with the Mileage and what was done, Thanks for your many tips keep up the great work
Love that you've given that Z a second chance! My daily driver for the past 2 years was advertised as a parts car. It's an Alfa Romeo 147 Ducati Corse edition. needed a bumper, headlight and AC condenser after it had a small crash. It sat up for 2 years. I also replaced the timing belt, deleted swirl flaps, replaced boost pipes and fixed the EGR with a tooth brush and some oven cleaner 😅 Paid €1400 for the car, €600 in parts, then I found a set of Alfa GTA wheels on Crooober for €500. Italian wheels, sent from Japan, to Ireland 🤣 I've also fitted some BC racing coilovers to it for €1200. Did all the work in my driveway, I swear it's been the most fun and reliable car I've ever owned. It's like it is thankful for being saved. Thinking of a hybrid turbo as the next lil upgrade for it 🤌 Keep it up man, inspiring stuff 😎
Hey Mike! Do you know if the 2+2 rear sway bar fits the s13? It's a burning question I have in search for a slightly beefier sway bar that isn't overkill or impossible to find. S13 HICAS and J30 bars are right around where I want, but they're so rare. I appreciate your positivity and determination. I just need to throw on one of your videos where you're soloing wrench time and I'm motivated to work again.
First rule of project cars... NEVER add up all the costs! Ignorance is bliss! I'm kinda surprised you haven't just rattle canned the couple of brown trim pieces just to get rid of the last bit of it showing...
11:47 HID Xenon headlights were OEM but exclusive to Japan, Nissan still produced them and you could buy them off most Z/NIssan sites until they were discontinued a few years ago
I'm following your channel for the past two years, maybe more, idk. I'm a mechanic. And to be honest,, if i were able to put a 300zx in my country on the road for 14k$, i would do it no matter how long would it take. They are expensive and rare AF, especially in Croatia(my country). Just keep on going
the fact it's actually been a year is absolutely insane, it feels like it's been longer now i think about it. i can't wait to see the full car done, it's gonna be crazy.

when you get it painted holy it will look SOOO good
With the lmgt wheels would go insane
That Z deserves all the love it has, you treat it so well
My favorite part about Saturdays. Love the videos man keep it up!
Can't believe it's already been a year time sure is flying
Glad to see I’m not the only one who’s spent to much on a car and it still ends up slower than stock 😂😂
Can’t believe it’s already been a year. It’s going to look sick once it’s painted.
I was thinking probably 8k before the newer performance mods you did, id say I was decently close to be fair.
Good job covering all the info. Oh and yeah the chrome bezels are on the 99+ jdm Z32's. They come with hid's standard. Very very expensive for what is worth. Oh another fun fact this headlights are also on the Nissan R390
I saw a turbo in the box
I cant wait dor the next video!!!
Also please dont part out the black 300zx its such a beoutifull car and rare one please dont take another one of the road
Anyways i love your videos so much and it also got me into cars ( i have a celica)
The video hasn’t even started and I’m exited already
now that its started how do you feel
ayo? pause
I got a 2004 Volvo v70r manual I’ve had it for almost a year at this point. I’m a college student so driving between school and home I’ve put around 15k on it
Let’s go more mike!
I just picked up a 300zx z32 about a month ago, they really are timeless cars so many features that my newer car don’t even have
dude i got a 92 dodge stealth rt twin turbo, i have 2 bigger turbos and fuel injectors coming in. yesterday i was working on putting some coilkovers to slam the car and after getting my ass handed to me by the 32 year old seized hardware and only being able to install one coilover. the car wouldn't start. all i would hear was a click. i thought it was a bad battery so this morning i bought and installed the battery and still nothing. was feeling really down about it, but i did my research and found its a common issue that u cant stop, but it does have solution. i ordered the stuff i need and after seeing this video my motivation is back
I would love to see you build a Delsol from ground up !
i stopped keeping track because the number got too big. it's better to not track how much you spend lol.
Yaaaa this was my first time adding it up 😬
I thought I was below 10k lol
@@PrizzaMike it's never below 10k haha

you shoud buy a sony vx1000 or vx2000 thoose cameras have like the oldschool skateboarding vibes and its like pretty cheap for the quality

The Z has now been added to GTA with the latest update, but sadly no bomex looking options :(
Recently tore my acl so I’ve done nothing but watch yt and this vid got me wanting to work my civic again🙏❤️
All those differences for a somewhat unusable backseat is crazy lol
J'aime la Z32, c'est une magnifique voiture, merci pour la présentation et les modifications faite sur ta Silvia 32
The fact I wake up and look for a Mike PRIZZA video every Wednesday and Saturday…
Bonus clip at the end made me nervous.. I want more 😂
I'm dying to see Uncle Jeff's car running lol
I cant wait to see this thing painted!
Its gonna look so good. Mike did a awesome job with jtm

Hell yeah more mike content, unrelated as hell but I found out about shit brown vert z32's again recently and I want one so bad
Cocoa Bronze Metallic
@@TasteofBlood yeah I know the paint code, I just like calling it shit brown haha
@@Antiliv. root beer turd metallic
Hey Mike. One question. Instead of painting the ZX, have you thought about a full body vinyl wrap?.
Going to be so good once it is turbo converted. 4 cylinder swaps into GT cars is sick. Reminds me of Castrol Toms GT500 Supra.
On my daily driver I put about 9000 miles a year. We do less miles in the UK. My fun cars I only put about 1000 miles on each year.
My daily was in the shop for a while, but I just got it back around the beginning of June. I have put over 3000 miles on it since then.
Mike, you've done such an awesome job bringing the 300ZX back to life.
So very impressive your skills are amazing. I totally enjoy watching each new episode. Keep up the great work! Also, say Hi 👋 to Franzy for me.
ive been watching you since the 240 tbone, how the fuck have i only just now subscribed???
Dude there is no way it's been a yr already with the fairlady ? Wow time Flys now, you really do make the most of your time my guy!! Always makin moves
13:28 I feel attacked my tacoma has tan interior😂 I would change it to gray but it’s expensive and almost impossible to find all the parts for it near me
You could change the title to « basic 300ZX guide » and would help a lot the community!
$14,000 sounds like more than I would have thought. Then I add up my project, and I realize you’ve gotten way more done with the money you’ve spent haha.
Cars are expensive
I bought my omega last year and I put 15k miles in it, now it has 155k on the dash but the bmw straight six is still going strong 😁
I wouldve thought less, but can see why after all u put into it. It will be all worth it, cant wait to see it painted. What color r u thinking?
Non car people never understand how expensive actually molding your car costs
Rookie mistake to calculate how much money you got into your project car 😂
I dont even wanna know hahah
You are very noligable about Nissan if I ever need to find out any info about a Nissan I will definitely contact you
yes, the 99+ spec headlights have the chrome inserts and they have HID factory
Can’t wait to see it painted. The mismatched body takes so much away from it but I know it’s all part of the process. Great work sir.
holy shit I have been following you for more than 1,5 years? Time flies man....
Mike your car is the total personification of you , and it's amazing dude. Love your channel and everything about the Z. I'm really keen to see how it looks in the end but man the journey has been so worth it. Well done mate Mark
A black shell on red or the pearl black on white would hit sooooo hard bet it's real nice
Best z around. Once its ka-t it’ll be wild 😮💨
10/10 video Mikey 🤙🏻 be safe, have fun, an enjoy the ride
16:50 in the video, you can hear that poor flat spot on the wheel😅😂
14:29 That is for the controls for the adjustable suspension.
Can’t wait to see the end product. What an awesome and wholesome journey
What color are you going to paint the z???????
soooo stoked for turbo swap on the Z!!!
Cant wait to see the black Z project going
What kind of wheels are on the front of the car?
Im loving your 2+2, cant wait to hear it boosted. Just to clarify, some convertibles were the only ones that got the bone interior and the jdm 99 spec cars had optional hid headlights that came with the chrome inserts. They were available for sale for years until recently.. Nissan NLA'ed them.
Great info!
Good job of buying and building a 300zx
For the other Z go for a twinZ full spec 🙏
😮 a dam year bro ita already ben that long🤙🤙
Can't wait for you to paint it, it's going to look soooooo good.
It also looks like it haze a widebody
300ZX has been a unit 👌 build is coming along 💯
When are you going to paint the car ?
Z transformation coming soon!
I have a twin turbo 93 zx my near yard
Paint is when the $$ going to go up
Yeah those two gaps underneath the cluster are for lights, engine light, Hicas light, and other etc
Good info!
We need more uploads:(
As someone who moved to Tennessee from aurora Illinois, i gotta say im happy i left, no emissions and i can basically do what i want to my car
Also loving the 300zx, im lookin into one myself at a neighbors, its in good condition, engines just dead
This man made me aprecciate cars the way they are. Thanks mike!
I love you're video's man
Keep goin' ham!
Nice job man👌
Time to paint it!
