Building An E36 Wagon In JAPAN Ends Up Being A DISASTER! But The Boys And I Are Problem Solvers!

- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- We arrive in Japan and the guys at Side X did a great job prepping the car and getting the engine in and fabing up parts. Unfortunately they aren't BMW guys, so we spotted some issues that would have become weekend enders. We were prepared for A LOT of the issues we had, but a few things really put us back some time and stress.

THERE IS SO MUCH HAPPENING BUT I'M HERE FOR IT. Awesome job dude.
Fitment boi comments on actual race car content. Go back to the stance scene ya goober
who
Jimmy and Grant are the best. They just want to help everyone have fun.
I can tell you’re just chilling and having a good time. No pressure of being locked in a box with your driving. Can’t wait to see the true style of your driving.
Honestly, gotta give you props for making it work. Super unique setup.
Also the commentary between you and your lady is funny af.
Fingers crossed for ya man. Can’t wait to see the next video!
Lovin the E36 wagon build! Wonder what the wheelbase is on that? Hats off to Jimmy & Grant for helping Chelsea, it'll be fun to see him tossing it around Ebisu once they get the cooling dialed and the tracks dry.
I think it's still 106.3 inches?
@@reptilez13I’d be shocked if it was anything different
All e36’s are the same 106-106.5 depending on ride height. Even the Ti’s
@@chelseadenofa Wow, that's 5 inches shorter than my sons E39.
been waiting on this video to drop ever since Jimmy and Grant posted. looking forward to all the Japan content. also, happy anniversary to you guys
this video is packed, and a lot of real ones coming in to help, shame it didn't go quite the way you hoped but I hope it works out.
6 years ago you were there 😵, I remember you in a black chaser that you had 👌🤙
Love that you built a BMW in Japan, that's exactly what I'd do too, not a big fan of JDM stuff. I would've had an M52 in there instead of the JZ, but I imagine those are trickier to find over there than in the US.
Oh and they definitely made other versions of the E36 in Japan, they're just not common. A buddy of mine owned a RHD 323i here that had been imported from Japan, it was kinda weird.
Yea hard to find and 328 is what we need
J imports are common here in the UK, even normie cars get brought over(lots of Pajeros, Elgrands & bongos) but last few years a lot of J BMWs & Audis have made their way over.
Weird seeing RHD german stuff on square plates.
The panning to the freaking camel in the back is golden as chelseas talking about the car lmfaooooooo. GOLD
Love how supportive and down your lady is.
In regard to them taking your ID info for gas, it's a safety measure implemented after the 2019 Kyoto Animation arson attack.
Holly shoot man.. what a brilliant video to watch as my first one as joining your channel at the same time...excellent fella ✌️👍🇬🇧
Best video to start my day today brother DeNofa thank you for making these videos. Great to see you having fun again. Keep it wheel out there.
The collab we needed!!!!
Love how you keep it real in every single video. If you ever stop making content, I'd be sad.
Best the Green Feinstaubplakette 4 on the windshield
Love the trip to Japan, looking forward to the series of videos, coming up 👌
so cool to see you guys together in Japan i love it🙌
Never thought I’ll see Chelsea Denofa, à Renault kangoo and a camel on the same frame one day 😂 awesome content man, can’t wait for the next one !
If someone told me this was a cable TV show. I would believe it 3 Americans in Japan trying to put together. A German car is the best thing I've ever seen.
Ive really gotta shake your hand someday man, you've basically done it all and are now you're doing side quests! I'm so here for it!
They asked for your ID because a few years back a guy used a gas can to set fire to the Kyoto Animation building killing a bunch of people. So yea that guy made it really troublesome for everyone to fill up gas cans and even cars being trucked to the track.
“isn’t she lovelyyyy” 😂😂
Goodluck with everything Chelsea, hope it all goes well. enjoy yourself over there 🤙
Soon as you said s15 radiator I was like win ha ha run sr 240 rads in all my e30s & e36 cars fits like a glove works easy with mounts and hoses and it’s cheap option
The radiator which was too wide was a e34 520/525i unit
The camel is a perfect moment where my brain was like squirrel wait what did Chelsea say
The German green sticker for emissions on the windshield lol
Shoulda got it posted from the UK! Weve got so much bmw stuff here you couldve had shipped over
Love how every car RUclipsr promote their driving gloves as they go to Ebisu, yet Chelsea /as a champ/ drives in some cheap working gloves ❤
Gardeners play in the dirt
Just watched lz’s vid, my timing was so right
Love DeNofa content! Keep it comin!
pumped to see this at north course
Awesome video guys!
Lmao Chelsea filming the Camel while Chelsea is speaking 😂 loved the video good job 👍🏼
This has me hyped up! Fulfilled FD dreams and grabbed a championship and now bringing us all along for the everyday enjoying life type stuff and back to grassroots style wrenching an thrashing with all the homies🤙 Keep up the rad content we love it🙏
Hope the new cooling system is dialed so you can turn tons of laps with the boys!
Love this filming and editing 🫡🙌🏻 stay rad Chelsea and Chelshe
Rad dude. Cant wait to see some laps
The hotdog measuring system 😂
So sick! Love the Japan content and you're a wild man doing it in an E36 lol
FD mechanic next season, lol. It's awesome to see you guys hanging out with everyone and back at Ebisu, such a fantastic vibe there during Matsuri.
Exciting stuff
I've been waiting for this content, and I can't wait to see more!!!
I was going to go over there and do what everyone does and buy a mild built Chaser. But then I was like maybe I should get something unique! And then I watched this and decided, nah.... definitely a Chaser. Looks like you are having fun though, if everything went perfect it would be boring right?
Twas about 6 year ago when I met you at the top of north
Love the vlog!
Love Chelsea!!! Mannn FD is gonna be SOO BORING without him!! 😢 Im soo proud he's officially a DRIFT KING now!! 🔥🔥🔥 #PackYoShiiiUp #Denofa88
been waiting for this vid!
please post more driving vids while ur in japan.
Standard Ebisu happenings, have fun ya'll 👍🏽👍🏽
What dash is in the car?
I love the double Chelsea vlogs 😂 😂
Question!,
I remember many moons ago you shipped already 1jz e36 coupe from USA to Japan, what happened to it?
I sold it because I needed money when Covid happened and we weren’t allowed to go to Japan.
This was a good watch
Fun, that there is building and already driving in one video. Didn't expect that after watching this journey on Jimmy's and Grant's channel. Isn't it a radiator from TDS? Quite popular mod in Europe and you have to cut a bit of frame rails to fit it in 46. Maybe in little tweaked 36 is that needed too... ;) And those small fans mounted directly to the rad never work without shroud. I'm shocked that you, 'old wolf', stepped into that anyways :)
Shrouds actually hurt most of the time when you’re using small fans and have cool down time. Since moving 20mph has the same effect as the fans if you block the air from flowing through them at speed it works worse. Cools better at rest tho.
Shrouds are for clutch fans or fans that flow 5000+cfm.
I have tested this theory many times.
PLUS, a shroud would never even fit on this setup
@@chelseadenofa oh ok,makes sens. I ment more overall that fan will be not working without a shroud. This especially setup you could have right. But from the beginning I had a feeling,that it will not work. Fixed and proved already? In this case with no room,maybe front fan with proper shroud? I had opel omega fan with its OEM shroud mounted in front of small e36 rad in m43b16 turbo and it was working perfectly. Something like ford Taurus solution in States,if I good remember from Wicknick's videos
Chelsea is without a doubt my fav driver it's so sick to see the not fd Chelsea the humility and overall fun back to one of the boys sick......until adam shows up
23:45 couldn't help getting distracted and completely blowing CHelsea off😂
Looks like you need to “overnight parts TO Japan (from Florida)” lol. The struggle is real, but we are all down with that.
Truth
Love this content. Please keep it up.
Y'all anniversary is my bday. Great day happy late anniversary
What wheels are those? They look way cleaner mounted than i expected.
Borbet 17x8 et20
German Car still has the green emissions sticker on the wind shield
Where can I snag one of those Pennzoil sweaters oh man?!
What a good looking dude you should vlog more.
Best Hump Day video to date! Lmao, I was so weak, love this! Keep it up my man!
The Chelseas in Japan is great
Looks like an e34 525i radiator based on the size and the built in expansion tank
This video is 🔥
I love Chelsea vlogs!
So awesome
I love that the car has the German economy Sticker on the windshield 😂
Great video 👌💯🤙Your mad lad, go on holidays to work 😋😅 such an amount of work you had to put in, it could of went easyer for you but it wanted to fight you every step. Id love to know all the wee problems yous had starting it so i can be a bit wiser 😂
Idk if I’d say nuclear French fries too loud over there. 😂😂😂
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
Oh and now I have the hotdog as a unit of measurement forever attached to my brain
Chelsea putting in work with the work gloves
That radiator is from a 325 TDS. That is what everyone uses in europe for m50 and m52.
It wouldn’t even fit between the frame rails
Awesome excited to see what’s next
I love this content man!
“Did you reveal the wheels yet”! That had me dying.
😂😂
What gear ratio in the e60 diff. Might be interested if you wanna sell it
3.45 IIRC, but it’s e46
🤣 “gross, I’m out” 🤣
Why not just buy a bunch of small case diffs if that’s all you can find. In Australia small cases are $200 and everywhere. Can drop and install a diff in close to 45 minutes
for 200hp it will hold and break some of the time. But for 350hp running on semi-slicks it will snap instantly.
Waste of fucking time.
@@chelseadenofa makes sense then, time is money at the end of the day
Chelsea , use trailing arms from e46 330i or d they are the same.. and cheap..
Not in Japan lol
6:14 I'm dead😂
Yo Chelsea with the small diff medium diff thing....can the medium diff go into the 318ti? Or what did you do with the rear in your 318ti?
Sorry man Don't think he s ever gonna answer this
@@America_Countryhumans1 I mean probably not but hey,might as well ask only took me a few seconds. Plus it's engagement for his channel.
Holy Crap, it's a ground upper, CC will be glowing when this is over! Do like the camel🐫🐫🐫🐫 cameo.
Super keen to see the wagon getting door marks with the boys
Hump Day!
Go E36 go! 🚗💨💨💨
Can't even get Gram Lights for less than 1k here in the UK, wtf.
you all are awesome. thank you!
Do u wish u just got a jzx ? Lol seems like a lot of work just to have the same motor but have a bmw wagon worth it?
All the cars are a lot of work. Atleast I know these well
Is that a Yamaha sport bike gauge cluster?
Panic made
@@chelseadenofa pretty cool IMO. I had a Yamaha R6 that had the same gauge cluster. I wouldn't have thought that it would work but kuddos
23:24 the yellow beast appears Renault Kangoo
24:00 the camel 🐫 lmao 🤣 🙌🏻
E34 radi is wider like that
This was a good video
dang
Please do something with sammit while you are in Japan!
Get it done💪✔️💯
