HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2020
- The best builds ever ain’t about the money. It’s about the stories behind every piece. And Jun Imai’s Datsun 260z may look like a million bucks, but it’s way more storied and DIY than you’d think. So we dive into the stories behind how Jun built this Z with some luck, a lot of passion, and a hell of a lot of time on classifieds worldwide.

When are we going to see that S130 in the outtro??
Now we make fun of Larry for constantly acknowledging that we make fun of him for always bringing up his Nissan mistresses
I feel like Larry knows all the coolest people from ever facet of the car community.... including hot wheels lol
Machine gun larry is an army of clones, its my new conspiracy theory 😂
Perfect timing. Just sat down to rock the baby to sleep. I hope by watching Hoonigan AutoFocus and Jay Leno's Garage as she falls asleep, she'll dream about cars.
I love that blue. It’s like an ultramarine.
Larry gets super Philosophical on his videos, it really gives you insight into the car culture.
That Tamiya decal... so sick.
yesss
Love the Tamiya stickers!
Thanks for noticing them!
Can't stop smiling through this feature and the driving segment. Love Jun and Kaido House!!! Thanks for sharing Larry! Soft spot for Zs
thank you!
If what you said about this guys impression or influence on hot water wheels jdm route is true I respect and thank him. I grew up getting over 1000ss of hot wheels and now to see what they are coming out with . I cant wait to get my kids straight jdm hotwheels
Dude. Sick. Thx Hot Wheels guy. My 2 year old daughter her little JDM "Car-Cars"
Love to see people go crazy over JDM cars, man the story behind each and every build and even stock ones!
My 10 year old son was able to recognize the real car on the road beacause of the jdm hotwheels I got to buy for him now he's getting his love for cars
THANK YOU Larry and Louis for a fun shoot with my ever changing, low budget, Craigslist special Z! I'm sure it'll change again next time. Good luck on the Craigs G-nose hunt, everyone. :)
Love the Tamiya logo!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite cars was the early 260z some guy traded me straight for my gutless Datsun pickup cause his wife couldn't see over the hood.. circa 1987. To see what they are and can be now is nuts. I paid $700 for that pickup, ha. Love this one!
Badboyz Toyz by Jun Imai Kaido House JDM are remarkable castings design thumbs up
Jun Imai made the coolest HotWheels castings ever. It's really cool that he even has a lot of really awesome 1/1 cars as well!
Well they made the casting based on his car
@@anthonysalinas718 The first one was actually based on Sung Kang's 240z. He never did a full detail casting on his car, interestingly
@@Overland_RC Yep, although last year they made an RLC version of this car with the black fender flares and all.
@@bignoize23 I missed out on that one unfortunately
And the scalpers dream, boulevard line Datsun Bluebird 510 wagon...
I have several thousand cars some still in the boxes, some not. Those are raced with my boys...
Makes me want to find a Z to play with. Love that color...
Great great fun video! I'm restomoding a 240 and 280Z so even more fun to watch...GREAT
I got the 510 wagon for my 1 year old son and it’s his favorite car in the collection. Kids got good taste 😉
That 10:05 clock is the greatest easter egg
I hit this man up on instagram years ago when I first saw this car, and he mailed me a sticker! Definitely one of the coolest guys in the car community.
thanks larry chen for this video i really enjoy every car you featured thanks
The lil leyton house stripe is so fire
thanks for noticing!
Had to pull this up while I was cleaning my Hot Wheels display up! Right after I wiped this beautiful casting off! And Larry you hit the nail on the head man! IRL I’ll never own 5 Mazda 787b’s or 2 Liberty Walk RX3s or the 100s of Porsche’s in my collection... oh and 3 HKS GTRs.... I’ve got basically every car I’ve ever dreamed about in my collection....
Love the down to earth builds... keeps it real for the little people that can't spend a 100K on a build.
exactly- this build is fully low budget, it's totally possible.
Thank you Kaido for the awesome hot wheels
you're welcome and thank you for the support!
Larry you are a me lucky fellow. Keep up the great work.
Both my dream cars. "Z" cars and I absolutely love those gen 2, Ford Gt's. Monster cars.
One of favorite Videos
Beautiful car , being myself an RC enthusiast I have a KYOSHO sticker on the back of my 240Z.
The pandem craiglist kit 😂🤌
Man that car is awesome, they so expensive now, im happy with my e30 but man Z are on high level
Couple things
1) I need to go to a swap meet in Japan
2) Car wars episode II: attack of the machine gun larry clones
Im convinced Larry Chen is an army of clones and thats how is he everywhere at every event and still doing auto focus and all his editing and printing
Im onto you larry, if thats even your real name's 🤣
Sweet car, superb video.
Awesome 😎
Oh yes!!! Lets go!!!
Awesome Tamiya decal!!!!!!!!
Some Mikuni’s on that motor would be super neat
soon!
Can we see his home garage please ;) some of these dudes are the pillars of JDM culture (more stories)
I'll do that soon!
As much as I love these vids, they do hit me in the ol' heartstrings a bit as I find myself pining for a lot of the cars I had in my youth. I'm glad I have the memories of decade-long ownerships for most of them, some were taken from me by idiot drivers or thieves, but they will sustain me as prices soar for these cars in the wake of our electrified futures.
Funnily enough, I have an orange wide body short-nose scale model :D
Someone send Larry a Hotwheels Yugo if such a thing exsist, love that Larry can see the beauty in just about any automotive body, Car culture can learn to be so accepting and eclectic
So cool nice work
I have a 260z I'm going to restore next year.
Good luck buddy ✌️✌️ we need as many on the road as possible
It looks so nice ong
I love all Z
Beautiful car love it
That cool car with Tamiya sticker
It's the characters that they are able to build into the RC vehicles and models.
I have the hotweels version of this car (DTW89). Hotwheels called it a 240Z though
Love from, Chicago.
On the subject of Hot Wheels, that is what made me permanently like cars, especially in the line of fantasy designs. As cool as real cars are, they never really clicked with me unlike the fantasy ones. And I'm not talking about the real wacky cartoony cars, but the ones that are more biased to realistic looking concept cars. Barring that, this guy's Fairlady Z designs are definitely one of my favorite real car based releases from Hot Wheels for a while now. They're pretty great for customizing too since you can swap parts and things from one another (with some slight cutting) due to being relatively similar.
Keep the Z's coming!!
Hot wheels is what got me in to cars
And hot wheels is a sponser in japan formula drift 🤘
Didnt know that about the Japan FD Hot wheels sponsor. Thatd be dope
Hence, the fd Silvia s15 on the latest car culture line
@@lucky889s9 no that was for US fd 25:22 ruclips.net/video/DGT51sa-NTY/видео.html
@@redbeardbadger790 25:22 ruclips.net/video/DGT51sa-NTY/видео.html
👍👍👍Let's see your hotwheel collection Larry!!!👍👍👍
Beautiful car 👌 ☺
That's my new car dream in life! Have one of my cars (hopefully Rx7) turned into a hotwheels car
An Efini would be a dream acquisition of mine too.. Would you go all out Pandem on it? Or keep it stock?
Or go a step further and commission an Amalgam model
People drill the rivets on Hotwheels and repaint, wheel swap, customize etc. Someone could easily replicate your RX7 or even yourself
Still a beautiful car none the less....
Bro I legit found a handful of my original HotWheels from when I was a kid last year and decided to try and find them brand new in the package. Well a year later and I'm about 5000 cars deep and ran outta space a while ago lmao HotWheels for life 👍🧡🧡🧡
Damn Steven..... Beat me to it.....
Holy shit, I have this exact Hot Wheels car! Bought it for my son because he said it was his favourite!
Those Wheels
For sure really really nice wheels they really stand out
Larry you gotta do MZR Roadsports in the UK. They're the Singer of 240z's!
Commented this before on the main channel but I think Hoonigan should partner with Mattel to make more of there cars into Hot Wheels. I'm a huge collector, great video
Huge shout-out to RevLimiter! I was looking everywhere for a horn button with the original Honda logo, and he came through! It looks great in my '80 civic wagon
Went to Target this week, came out with a bag of ground coffee and 3 jdm hot wheels.
Fuck yeah my buddy had a 71/240z L28 swapped Flat Tops with 394 4brll Holley Carb and single 2.5 Flowmaster , 10 point roll cage , 15" enkei racing / bbs style with red mesh with a chrome lip on a white car with a Porsche 🐋 Tail molded to the trunk lid seamlessly...lol they would say pump #1 is on for the white porche at the gas station 😅
I'm curious, how does that kind of wheel and tire setup effect the handling characteristics "usually"
I've wanted one for years, gotta vq35 waitin for its new home........
BBEAUTIFUL CAR !!! Now hunting for the hot wheels model . . . It's the only way I'll own one now !!!😂😂
craigspandem!
With regards to the tyres just because they look new doesn't mean they are, always check the dates and dont run old tyres.
Oh man when i heard it has a borla exhaust i really thought it was another ls swap but thank God i was wrong.
Casual Ford GT in the background lol
nothing to see there...
I’d beg my mum for money every time we went to the shops just so I could get a hot wheels car, they were what really started my passion for cars and I certainly wasn’t the most caring with them and destroyed most of them but there’s that special few that mean the absolute world to me. I even made my uncle buy me one when he went to America just so I could say I had a hot wheels car from America. I’d love to build up my collection again, I handed most of mine onto my brothers or cousins when I was “too cool” to play with hot wheels cars and I regret it. They were such an excellent starting point for so many people and so many people still have that special hot wheels car that means the world to them.
Sadly I now own a Datsun 120y (also known as a b210 in America and a Sunny Gl in Asia) that’s never been made into a hot wheels car
Tamiya! Made in Cebu, 🇵🇭!!!
that is beautiful.....but if that is my car i would paint it one solid color make the wide body more noticeable
Can u do a video on that ford gt in the background?
this wouldn't be a genuine hoonigan autofocus video if larry didn't mention one of his cars. lmao!
Do they sell nose lift kits that you can install in any lowered car? What’s the correct term used? I don’t want to lose the performance from coil overs and airbags are out of the question for me personally.
Yeah I have this Datsun in my Hot Wheels Collection
Stop making videos on the Z the prices are going up and I want more 🤣
man, i have that cars in hotwheels version..!
Slight flex on Larry @ 27:07
what location is this? great space!
9:38 "It's not the fastest car"
Jun Imai: wut
Oooo
I had a Tamiya AWD AMG car it was super fast
Z❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇱🇰
That's a hard flex wip race car sandwiched between 2 helicopters.
The Z car industry needs some COMPETITION in the widebody kit world. I personally don't like the RocketBunny kits for Z cars but unfortunately there's no variety to choose from.
Larry how old were you when you bought your 240z? ..again..I forget..
As a kid i always loved hot wheels.
Who makes that front end lift system?
Ladies and gentlemen.. In the blue corner.. first he was Larry the cable guy.. then he was learning with Larry.. weighing in at 119lbs soaking wet.. it's Soldier Larry..
thos stickers add how many horspower?
can you show us your hot wheels collection ?!
Hey Larry today I went to a car show/swap meet. There was a lady that had some Blue tooth speaker pictures. Would you allow me to use one of your pictures in this way???
Hey I have one of these!
I mean it's a hotwheels, but.........
I've got that Hot Wheels Car :)
