Welcome back. Been keeping an eye out for your video. I liked seeing that shop in Japan. I work for a race team but between races we do custom builds and I'm in the middle of a 350z with a rb25det swap. It's a full drift car build. Anyways great to see you back
TKR Garage cheers Brother. I wish I could say it was great to be back, but it was summer and absolutely bloody spectacular in Japan an as you can see, miserable here in my garage. I have some other bits and pieces from Japan both, last month and in March, I might try and put something together.
I live in Florida and it's around 100 degrees Fahrenheit here and rains like a typhoon everyday so I feel your pain on that. Glad your trip was great. Would be awesome to see those clips you have cause I don't think I'll get to see Japan anytime soon. Oh and for my suggestion on the front bumper I would say either a 1996 jdm bumper or a kbd polyurethane bumper. Id stay away from fiberglass or duraflex. Quality usually sucks and they take a lot of work to look nice.
Zahox I have been talking about running small tours over there. See the sights, visit some bars, eat some food. I am heading back early next year and then might look at tours after that.
Its a difficult choice! If we get 10000 subscribers, I will be able to add a poll and have everyone vote. We just need another 5000 subscribers... get inviting.
About time someone in Oz did a RB conversion in Japan back in the late to mid 2000’s people have do RB engine in the z32 chassis and if you have a manual 300zx you just need a RB bell housing so you can bolt the RB engine to the transmission but you’ll to make mounts to bolt the engine to the crossmember . Because the stock VG30DETT engine is absolute rubbish blown head gasket time .
Always great buddy, well done :) The RB motors are great, but treat the VG30 well and it will treat you well. I've had Z32's for nearly 18 years now. Never had a major problem. But yeah, they can be tricky to work on. The joys of a V motor lol...
Mark Biondo the VGmotor from the white Z in Japan is just sitting in the workshop in Nagoya awaiting my return should my engine explode. I should have it built up now and freighted over
Although the 99 front is nice, I prefer the 89 front. Alternately, you could try hunting down an Impul 932S front bar. It's almost like a hybrid between the 89 and 99.
Another great episode, I’ve been lookin forward to this all month. Can’t wait to see what the subie is going to look like finished up. Also for maximum weight savings, you should have taken off the sound deadening/heat shield on the bottom of the hood lol.
I’m at the same stage, just trying to decide which front bumper to go with as the last piece of the puzzle before paint. Obviously staying away from all of the stingray mouths, but I also don’t like the big dumb smiley face openings. I don’t have a front mount to fill a big opening anyway so I’m leaning toward just sprucing up my stockie.
Manly Balls I am fortunate enough to have the local supermarket stock Japanese Asahi cans and I just picked up a 500ml Asahi glass at the Asahi Brewery to match. I do enjoy the Japanese Sapporo cans, but favor the Japanese Kirin Lagers. Thtt said, I can not stand the Australian Kirins. They are bloody terrible.
Just a consideration, by fucking off the air filter in the guard you will have dust and rubbish flying up in your engine bay, it won't really do anything harmful its just whether you want your engine bay to look somewhat presentable
Unfortunately for the WRX 911, the previous owner hit a kangaroo and the inner guard for the wheel guard is missing because of it. If I can get a hold of one of those and the square blanking plate for the massive hole next to the round hole we might be able to cut down on dirt.
Another awesome episode....mustang's dont hit people...people hit mustangs....Mustang lives Matter lol. I had a deer hit my car screwed up my drivers side fender...so yeah I will do a video...keep sinking beers I know I will
Privileged to watch one of the greatest automotive engineers of my lifetime. The opening segment is absolutely brilliant.
Mighty Car Mods meets Hoonigan, love it
Stick with the stock front bar and add a small splitter! Keeps you from beating up the front bar too
always good to see new stuff on the 300zx thanks for the entertainment!

Wohoo! Welcome back from Japan! Take me with you the next time you go there! ;)

Sick ride!
I'm definitely a huge fan of the 2k spec front bar, each to their own though! I think it suits with the newer style tail lights a lot better.
bought a tt after watching these vids, keep the content coming
S Lenehan doing our part for raising the value of the Z32
hahah still one of the cheaps jdm $ per hp in australia
I vote for the 99+ front bar. They look great and when paired with a set of 99+ tail lights really update the car.

safe n healthy 2018 .... get some goggles on bro
Worry no more. I knew that drill bit was blunt and couldn't cut through paper. Glasses were on afterwards with the new bits.
Supercheap sell 3" flexi intake hose which could work well for intake ducting.
and a term we used when i was in the trade when you got stubborn bolts was " MAKE IT TAKE IT ". max dugga duggas !
Oh, and get the 2000 front bar. They are awesome :)

How did you make that little ramp thing? That is awesome. I would love to make something like that to get my Z up in the air?

I want the TwinZ front bumper for my Z32. Aggressive looking and allows more air in.
cesarremise I am looking at the TwinZ rear diffuser for Project Z
Good shit bro 👍
99 jspec bumper is killer
Another great episode, I’ve been lookin forward to this all month. Can’t wait to see what the subie is going to look like finished up. Also for maximum weight savings, you should have taken off the sound deadening/heat shield on the bottom of the hood lol.
I might have to get the thing weighed at the end of the project!
Aw yeah! Been waitin for this
Tristan Larsen sorry to keep you waiting Brother!
My vote is for Asahi.
Love me some long neck intake at 20 to 8 in tha fuccin mornin.
Full Twinz Design kit

the stock one looks great anyhow! just add some form of lower lip and save a little $$
Yep, good call! Stillen Type III ordered. Thanks!
need me some ramps like that for my 300, they are so difficult to get up off the ground
Get a "stillen gtz" lip for your oem tt bumper =] super sexy
I could do this!
Yessssssssssss. Good. Call.
Fuck yeah! All the awesome air guided goodness =]
Still runs cool too. The placebo effect really adds a lot of mid range torque.
How about a vid of you installing some doors on the carport/garage??? Gotta be at least a five beer job:-) All the best!!!
plezurhounds Or! Now, hear me out. I move to a place with a decent shed already!
Yeah nah... Besides, we only drink merlot here;-)
If you havent already done it you should get the one piece driveshaft
My vote is it's an '89, keep it looking like an '89. I do enjoy a good 80's classic though.
I am leaning towards the 89 front bar with a lip attached to add areo and style
Intake! Hektik, undertray, front lip, will stick to the roof lol.
Australian Asahi is also watered down catpiss. Look out in asian groceries, some bring in JDM beers.

Put a liberty bumper on it front and rear
No can do Brother. They don't line up with the factory overfenders that the AUDM Outback has.

Hey, I need a splash guard just like that for mine.. mine is busted.. zip tied in place.. LoL LoL 💯
Looking a bit second hand in this one Champion. 😂
Brad House feeling it Brother. A couple of weeks in the Sun with bulk beer is enough to wear a man down.
Maybe get a rive nut tool
Gaz Girl actually, I have one of those. I forgot all about it.
Another awesome episode....mustang's dont hit people...people hit mustangs....Mustang lives Matter lol. I had a deer hit my car screwed up my drivers side fender...so yeah I will do a video...keep sinking beers I know I will
bro good to see you back and while your at it cut you hair looks like a birds nest lol
I was gonna grow it out. No good?
lol Noooo good bra,
Paint the engine cover black and cover it in stickers
You leave r33's alone or i'll get my old one back and race you in it.
I like R33s, I owned half of one once.
Would you rather one GTR powered Z32 or 100 Z32 powered GTRs?
heef. A question that has plagued man for the better part of 30 years.
think you put it in the wrrong place and backwords,
Less than $400 for an exhaust, coilovers, strut brace and mats? WTF. Are the all full size? 😂
We will find out when they arrive!!!
First!
3 points to Gryffindor!
