I have pretty much an entire black interior if you're interested. I'd let it go pretty cheap, but you'd have to either pick it up in VA or wait till I visit home in TN again.
@@PrizzaMike I wouldn't burn that tan interior, try selling it first. I've regretted throwing out tons of interior for the dsm's over the years and now that shits getting pricy to get.
get into some Z32 groups and you will find a lot of information and help with those cars. also, Jimmy Oakes did a SR swap in one of his Z32's and it turned out awesome, you may check with him on how to do the swap and what you will need. the KA will likely be similar.
I don't have a Z but I have a vert 240 and I can tell you that door looks exactly like mine and the seat belts go in the top of the door and side like you indicated. The one belt you found is for the back seats. 4.8/5.3 V8 swap that beast is my vote for the Z! Thanks for all your content you've gotten me off my ass. Fixing my up my D21 now and 240sx this winter
KA24 sounds awesome, especially if you have one already waiting to be put in the car. 1UZFE since it's cheap and reliable and since I think you are more than experienced enough to figure out the wiring harness. (Wish I can say the same about myself). That Z32 looks like an awesome car already. Your S13 is coming along nicely, can't wait for when this thing is running and driving again.
I know you love to do things on a budget but you should honestly look into the VR30Dett motors that come in the new Z’s and Inifiniti Q50s they usually go for around $3k or so….
the early model Z's had the seatbelt in the door, they moved it to the B pillar but they never redesigned the doors which had the accommodation for the door belt, I imagine you could convert it, although it really isnt the safest. some great resources for interior and exterior parts are zspecdesign and ionicdynamics, both Z1 and ConceptZ are great for aftermarket, but also have a lot of used/new oem options for practically anything for the car. the facebook groups for the z32 platform are also awesome for finding deals. a couple other really cool places to look are merlin machining, and polar engineering. Cant recommend the Tein Flex Z's enough for coilovers! Love the R33 wheels by the way, they really do suit the car well!
Immediately thought SR20 but a KA24DE+T would be sweet, obviously SRs are expensive now and a KA would make good enough power whilst still being lighter than the boat anchor VG30
1. You seem to have a later model car (b pillar seatbelts are correct) 2. Finding that 3 rd brake light is crazy hard used, you can buy new or the ionic dynamic replica which is good 3. VG are awesome, KA swap would be wierd without a Turbo ;) Have a good time with the Z32, the best Japanese car of the 90s imho
Gonna be a cool car for sure. I see your neighbours is into ham radio like me. That's a log periodic antenna he's got on top of that tower at the side of his house.
I think the 1UZ-FE from the lexus ls400 is a good candidate for the engine swap, it's quite underrated as an engine, it performs very well. Also, toyota reliability.
I was hoping my next project would be a z there my dream car and I was so happy seeing you pick one up your the only RUclips’s I constantly watch restoration work
im sure this has been answered by now but yes the seat belt normally goes in the door like you thought. lots of people have done that location swap though very common. i think maybe even enforced in some states when importing
VG... I'd stick with it :D Tho you have to watch out for oil levels because the Z's dipstick is hard to read (don't have a Z but all the videos I saw mentions it)
The third brake light is fragile and ages with UV. Early year third brake lights are prone to fading, and fade to red. Later (like yours) stay black longer. When you lift the trunk, reach your fingers past the TBL and lift on the sheet metal. Insist nobody else lifts the trunk. If it sits a while, the trunk leveling stops will fuse to the paint a bit and require tons of force that commonly causes people to break the TBL. Wax the paint where the bump stops sit, it helps but doesn't solve
I can tell you know this chassis extremely well! Thank you a ton for the tips! I will definitely remember that. I began making it a habit to lift from the corners of the trunk and not utilizing the center at all, just to avoid future damage once replaced.
I wish you got a z31!! I want a big youtuber to do a z31 because then I can see how they do things to it and I can incorporate onto my z , still love the z32 though, cant wait to see this thing shred
I would go for the handshake hanging out , saying im a huge fan and for the cookies 😊 I'm happy u got that project car and I think u did an awesome choice can't wait to see what it will become , love from Portugal let's gooooo 🔥😎
in 1994 the seatbelts were located to the chassis of the car and not on the door. On the earlier models there were provisions for this, but no threads.
I bought a JZS171 from a trucker who was a heavy smoker, and it took me a full day to de-slime the tan interior in that thing. I used buckets and buckets of soapy water and they all turned black, and I had to use a scraper to get the grime off of the shifter. It was gross... But I guess, at least with tan you can SEE the grime!
I feel like it would be more unique to go with the VG. Everyone is so scared of these wonderful engines they always put something else there. Also normally the trunk opens by itself, the struts are blown so it now needs to be forced open hence the broken tail trim
I was thinking of something the might be interesting, what about putting something like a vq35 or vq37 in the 300zx? or instead of a KA24DET a K24 turbo build if youre looking for a smaller turbo build. Or get crazy with it and supercharge it.
You could also drop in an EG33 engine from a Subaru SVX (Or get an SVX project car), its a sick car that i had the pleasure of owning but i had to sell it, had 114k miles and was mint.
The Z looks good in that color👌 almost similar to that s14 zenki option, those wheels look good on it also, can confirm via Carx Online lol🤘 love the updates bro❤️💯
put a 944 engine in it, it does get pretty good gas mileage, and you can get quite a bit of power out of it. it is a 4 cylinder and i dont think it has anything inkommen with the 300zx, but...
Depending on if you want to put a spoiler on the rear you won't need the rear tail light piece because it has to be removed to put most of them on. Then they give you a black sticker to place on the back lol.
@@PrizzaMike then for the quarter glass you may have to use eBay. They're pretty hard to find now that nobody makes them. I've found a few sets for 150 bucks 🤷🏾

Only for the 2+2 the seatbelts are different 2+0 are on the door
Good to know! I had idea hahaha
Thanks for clarifying
Not exactly. All 90-93 have them on the door, while 94-96 it moved to the B pillar.
@@NbaMed really i thought all 2+2 didnt have that seatbelt on the door well thats some info to know that some 2+2 do come with the door seatbelt
@@ExotizzTV yeah just a year difference. My 90 2+2 has them on the door
@@NbaMed oh ok
I think Ka24det swap is a great idea for the z! Awesome content as always man.
Much appreciated homie 🤘🔥
The R33 wheels looks fit on this 300ZX. It’s so beautiful.
i was about to say r32 but oh yeah, R33 should be lovley :)
r33 wheels go on everything. nissan has amazing stocks
That 2+2 na driveshaft will work with your rb25 swap on your 240! Perfect length from to rear and from yoke and rear end fit perfect too.

That obviously isn't a rear seatbelt, you know how seatbelts work right? ;)
Man I’m so excited to watch you work and build this 300. It’s my absolute dream car and I can’t wait to learn more about it
Ooooooo a Wednesday upload, when you upload broo like it makes my day
Ikr?? It's my weekley serotonin doze
@@xFALENOx it is :)
KA24 sounds awesome, especially if you have one already waiting to be put in the car.
1UZFE since it's cheap and reliable and since I think you are more than experienced enough to figure out the wiring harness. (Wish I can say the same about myself).
That Z32 looks like an awesome car already.
Your S13 is coming along nicely, can't wait for when this thing is running and driving again.
Bro you don’t understand . I lost it when dude was dancing with the frame rails
Kswap it man, best 4 banger ever and that Honda reliability it’s just a no brainer
Vq/vr would be a cool swap as well
I know you love to do things on a budget but you should honestly look into the VR30Dett motors that come in the new Z’s and Inifiniti Q50s they usually go for around $3k or so….
after a few years the aftermarket might go crazy especially for the z
I love that model Z. Can't wait to see what you do with it
There's a quarter glass on ebay for 90 bucks for the 2+2

Awesome a video in the middle of the week. I'm going to be late for work for this one.Keep up the good content. We love it
I’ve seen someone do a Lexus V8 in a Z32. That would be dope to do, supercharged and everything.
Immediately thought SR20 but a KA24DE+T would be sweet, obviously SRs are expensive now and a KA would make good enough power whilst still being lighter than the boat anchor VG30
That was my exact thought process haha
1. You seem to have a later model car (b pillar seatbelts are correct)
2. Finding that 3 rd brake light is crazy hard used, you can buy new or the ionic dynamic replica which is good
3. VG are awesome, KA swap would be wierd without a Turbo ;)

Gonna be a cool car for sure. I see your neighbours is into ham radio like me. That's a log periodic antenna he's got on top of that tower at the side of his house.
Love these extra uploads glad I woke up a bit earlier to see this
How about the K20, K24, or maybe just stick to the Z family and put a VQ or go OEM with the VG.
Congratz on the booth man ☺️
Y’all killin’ it 🥹
i literally hung up my call with my friend to watch this vid awesome one man, love the 300zx i wanna get on myself!
I think the 1UZ-FE from the lexus ls400 is a good candidate for the engine swap, it's quite underrated as an engine, it performs very well. Also, toyota reliability.
Personally, I like the idea of a jdm v8 300zx
Or even a 2UZ for that extra torque...
@@WrenFJ I agree, the 300zx is a chunky car anyways
I was hoping my next project would be a z there my dream car and I was so happy seeing you pick one up your the only RUclips’s I constantly watch restoration work
Such a great video 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 great content and so hyped to see more Z content
im sure this has been answered by now but yes the seat belt normally goes in the door like you thought. lots of people have done that location swap though very common. i think maybe even enforced in some states when importing
This is so good to watch. Love it. Like to see you daily vlog 🤙
Yes sir been waiting for this upload wanted to see what your plans with the 300zx🤝
Regarding the motor what about a 1uzfe? Pretty bullet proof motor and might turn some heads. Plus 2 more pistons than stock ;)
VG... I'd stick with it :D
Tho you have to watch out for oil levels because the Z's dipstick is hard to read (don't have a Z but all the videos I saw mentions it)
Dude it is so sweet you came to spirits peak! It’s right down the road from my house.
Depending on the year some had door seat belts and others have pillar seat belts
Dude that back flip was on point bro

If I find a good deal on a Z31 I'll scoop it! I've always wanted to build one!
They made 2700 hard tops too. Only in a 2 seat option. Also the vg 30de is factory forged in the z32 If you need to know more just ask.
I was just clicking comment when you said ideas for engine and you said exactly what I was about to type
Great minds think alike 😎
The 300zx with a Honda Engine like a KA24 would be sick in the 300zx keep up the good work
Love the content man for real. Ik it’s not much but keep going! Love from CT!
I love seeing all the carhartt!!
I have some t tops and fresh seals and a tt wing from when I had my z back in 2010
I think the 2+2 had the seat belts on the pillar, the non-2+2 has them in the door. It's been a while since I've worked on one, so I could be wrong.
Mold is because t tops need seals and the hatch seals are likely done too
Smart move getting another car Mike good way to invest back into the channel, best car you could havev got too x
I would go for the handshake hanging out , saying im a huge fan and for the cookies 😊 I'm happy u got that project car and I think u did an awesome choice can't wait to see what it will become , love from Portugal let's gooooo 🔥😎
Man! You know Im slamming the brakes for some Hot Wheels bro! Love the Z man. Can't wait to see what you make of it!
You have a later model z, early models came with seatbelts on the doors and later models I wanna say 93-96 came with seatbelt on the door b pillar
You should put a k24 in the 300zx or a ka
It’s such a clean shell man! God was looking out for you man! Stay blessed dawg 🎉🔥🙏
Should try that dupli-color vinyl and fabric paint on the interior my dash board and and interior plastics came out pretty nice on my s14
in 1994 the seatbelts were located to the chassis of the car and not on the door. On the earlier models there were provisions for this, but no threads.
I would check the local Junkyard sometime they be having z32 most 2+2 coupe are rare in the yards
I agree tan interior is the worst. But on a 90s Z It kinda works with the blue/green on the outside. I dig it.
So glad to see you have headlights as they are hella expensive.
I bought a JZS171 from a trucker who was a heavy smoker, and it took me a full day to de-slime the tan interior in that thing. I used buckets and buckets of soapy water and they all turned black, and I had to use a scraper to get the grime off of the shifter. It was gross...
But I guess, at least with tan you can SEE the grime!
I feel like it would be more unique to go with the VG. Everyone is so scared of these wonderful engines they always put something else there. Also normally the trunk opens by itself, the struts are blown so it now needs to be forced open hence the broken tail trim
Later 300zx models got the seatbelts on the door. You should have key less entry as well. Would may be have an obd2 port if it’s a 96.
there’s a few company’s who make aftermarket 3rd brake lights if you’d prefer a stronger painted/carbon one! kinda expensive but a safer option
KA24DET would be super cool, but if you wanted to keep it in the v6 category, I have a fresh VQ35DE Revup along with the harness and ECU
Love the Wednesday uploads
If I'm not mistaken on a 2+0 the seatbelts mount to the door...
The Ka+t would be cool and easier to come by but if you could get your hands on one I think it really cool spot would be a ca18 the baby RB
I was thinking of something the might be interesting, what about putting something like a vq35 or vq37 in the 300zx? or instead of a KA24DET a K24 turbo build if youre looking for a smaller turbo build. Or get crazy with it and supercharge it.
you should ask @JimmyOakes and his sr20 swapped z300 :D he also has a LS swapped one. maybe he can suggest something and help with wiiring tho
You should do a k20\k24 swap or 2jz
Just put the VG30DETT twin turbo motor in it if you can source one. They did not offer that motor with the 2+2 in the US so would still be unique.
todays my birthday and its nice to see a vid uploaded today :D
Happy bday homie!
@@PrizzaMike thanks bro 🤜❤️
Swap the head light and make pop up looking ones
I reckon cosmis mogul MR2 wheels would suit the z32, they look amazing
How many more motors has Seth blown up since the last time he blew one up on the channel😂
Put a K in it would be so good
I think a vh45 48 would be cool. It came in the infiniti m45 and has been done in the 300zx a couple of times
You could also drop in an EG33 engine from a Subaru SVX (Or get an SVX project car), its a sick car that i had the pleasure of owning but i had to sell it, had 114k miles and was mint.
the door handle trim is the same. i think s13 r32 and z32 are the same. its crazy what Nissan reuses.
I want that blue CRX!
My dream car since about 7 years old and so hard to find in my country.
Lmfao that bee scoop looked so instinctive. Can't believe dude just melee'd it real quick and caught it like a weak pokemon.
You should keep it that teal color looks great and do the interior black bro
Barra turbo all day cheap and reliable power!
The Z looks good in that color👌 almost similar to that s14 zenki option, those wheels look good on it also, can confirm via Carx Online lol🤘 love the updates bro❤️💯
ka-t Z would be pretty awesome ngl
KA-t would be cool. I think it’d be kinda rad to go HR too
I think a k- swap or Sr would be nice
OOOOO yo so the ending with you friend dancing a few videos ago was from this day? Omg
Yep 😅😅😅
super sick video man!
put a 944 engine in it, it does get pretty good gas mileage, and you can get quite a bit of power out of it. it is a 4 cylinder and i dont think it has anything inkommen with the 300zx, but...
5:09 nah this was insane
If you have trouble getting that glass or brake light filler let me know. There's a part out at my local junkyard.
Put a om606 in it! its amazing
Depending on if you want to put a spoiler on the rear you won't need the rear tail light piece because it has to be removed to put most of them on. Then they give you a black sticker to place on the back lol.

KA24 turbo sounds like a good swap for it honestly.
i think a 1UZ swap would be pretty cool for this chassis
I agree, call it the 400ZX 🤘
vh45 swaps are dope
Ka t would be really cool in a z
Would be cool to swap a vq in there kinda like a restomod build
