Man I need that Keychain
My car 😍
🏎Great info bro Cheers. I own 3 Z32's.. always workin' on something.
@@STocKi777 thanks! The work really never ends
my favourite bodykit is the 1991Bonneville landspeed record 300zx, it looks nuts
This one will be in my next video 🤔
Doing a v8 swap to my z32 this year to replace the na it came with. Love that car
Nice video - are you OK with me using your footage of the smoking Heel &Toe for Heroes car (#22) coming in, for my recap video for them?
Of course. Just credit me in your video. Be sure to send me the link when it’s done. I’d love to check it out.
@@Zi.Zeniorthanks, will do. Should be done in a week or so
@trackrekord i’m looking forward to it!
👍 my jspec z is a lot Stillen but I do have lambo doors
I want the Stillen kit for mine. Did yours come with the Stillen goodies?
@@Zi.Zeniorno I bought my Z bone stock it had absolutely nothing but I loved the Stillen spoiler the wings west body kit and I went nuts
@ aww man I bet it looks sick. That Stillen spoiler is on my list
I watched cannonball run with my dad as kid fell in love with Lamborghini’s so I did add Lambo doors to my Fairlady
Good video, but ECU is the personality of the car, not the DNA. The DNA of a car would have to be something relative to the entirety of the thing, like the build philosophy that gave rise to the design or something. An ECU doesn't do enough to justify the label DNA, its just fuel and spark. We car nerds are hard to please, so if this is the only complaint, you've done fine. (Good video)
😂 I appreciate it. I had to make it approachable to the average non-car nerd. I would say the ECU is like the car’s brain, if anything. But ECU Tuning itself is like changing the character of the car. I couldn’t come up with a better analogy that helped people understand it meant changing the car’s whole vibe on a fundamental level. I love the feedback and i’m glad you enjoyed the video.

woop. woop. shout out to "I like exclusive v2.0" 300zx shown in the plenum water lines delete.
It's expensive, travel, lodging, food, consumables, fuel, tires, repairs, it costs close to $2k a race for us even if we stretch tires, seals and gaskets are expensive, what are talking about?
We discuss this at 8:05
Whoa it has Lamborghini Diablo headlights 😲
@@Ndw1995 the Diablo has 300zx headlights. 👆
Cool story, interesting channel. Appreciate it being like straight informational and not donut style random jokes and nonsense.
Thanks for checking it out. I appreciate the feedback. Some of my video do have some silly moments and keep it light. This series is a bit more serious.
🏎️
great video thank you
I’m glad you liked it. Thank you!

@@pantherwood I really appreciate that. I’ve got another one coming soon.
@ I cannot wait…I know it’s going to be jammed packed with good stuff
Great video mate. Gday from Australia 🇦🇺
Cheers!
I bought a parts car 300zx and the dude had the sr71 in his garage and he was restoring it and I just remembered about that after this amazing vid!
Was it a red one? I wonder if it was number 6 🤔
I subbed. instantly.
@@looneyyang1326 I appreciate that!
🏎
It costs $5,000 to put a go-kart on the track. Racing ain't cheap.
@@bradfordeaton6558 amen to that.
Well put together and you tell the story well. Im still a very proud owner of my black 1990 JDM 2+0 targa manual NA. i bought it back in 2002 in Australia in exc cond. im 60 yrs old soon and it only has 130kms on the clock i haven't driven it for 13yrs now but have been doing many engine performance mods without adding more weight to it. I like to reduce weight not bolt it on lol, but it was the eara of ricing them out. It's the only car of many in my life I've never wanted to sell and has got better looking the older it gets. Cant wait to turn that key again soon.
@@Nismo65 I hope you drive it real soon. I appreciate you watching the video. I’ll be doing part 2 soon.
Definitely well above the limit on that Chicago trip lol. I heard 5 hrs???
@@PatrickScott-r1z no comment
These cars are what made today's high horse power cars possible. I wish These companies were still doing these things with cars and they may be I'm just to busy to get all wrapped up in what I always thought were mythical cars. But I hear one can be had for around $10k maybe Lil more now in US. I looked to see if any were available and can't find a 300. Tk34 was showing up but tk r34 went for like $183k. Wow.
A well sorted TT car that’s original will be between 15-35k depending on mileage. Anything that’s all original and under 80k miles will be up there in price. You can find rough twin turbos or Na cars converted to turbo for under 15k USD. The TK car will set the bar for what they are worth in the US soon.
@Zi.Zenior I first learned about tk cars from gran turismo. And that surprised me as I've always been a car nut and would read all the car magazines and we always were looking on the amazing Internet back then too. It was a good time to be alive.
@@PatrickScott-r1zI think GT was my introduction to Tommy Kaira too. That ZZ was a rocket

Talk more about 99 JDM 300ZX
What would you like me to cover. The version s and R?
One of the best put together 300ZX videos I've seen. What software do you use for edits?
@@MichaelAllenPortland thank you so much. I use a combination of davinci resolve, adobe after effects and CapCut.
Love the video so far. My late father had a 300zx named after his mom, it was a slick ride. 🏎
Thanks for watching it. Your comment made me miss my dad. Hope you’re doing alright.
nissan z32
👌
Love it! I'm modeling mine after the RevoLife Z
There are so many amazing tuner builds to cover. I could honestly do three or four of these videos. I’m looking forward to seeing your build.
I ❤️ Z 😎
🏎 The Shelby Daytona Coupe killed Sir Peter Brock in the end. He took my 1974 Holden Torana SLR (the cars that made him famous at Bathurst) around a racetrack and signed my dash board before he passed away. I was a massive fan of his and was truly gutted when he hit that tree. Cheers
@@Tight--LiNeZ it’s such a tragic story. His legacy lives on in steel and should last many lifetimes.
Great video! Your channel will grow quickly!
@@tonyprice3314 thank you!
Can you make such videos of other cool cars like the all skyline gens and rx7 and supras and all yk it'll be cool
I think this is a great idea
Crazy that now its just a set of calipers for s chassis lol.
They massacred my boy
This is an absolute gem of a video. Almost has an underground feeling to it. Amazing job 💯
Thank you so much! I think I want to do more like this
Heck yeah 🏎
You’re in!
such a fun video to watch!
Thank you for checking it out. I thought the magazine snippets were pretty cool and wanted to share
Can you do a video of Nissan skyline and include the regular version such as a GT and the GTS
I sure can. I’ll have to do some research about tuner builds. I know Mines is a good one.
🏎️
Good luck!
Subbed. 🏎🔥
Thank you!

About a week away from first start up on my TT rebuild. Algorithm absolutely blessed me with this channel 👏
@@Canuckbrah i’m so excited for you. I hope the shakedown reveals 0 problems. May all your shifts be grind free and your car always be in boost. Amen.
How much hp you think it's making?
And yes I'm new to channel. Just found you today. Watching wife ranks all my cars now. Great content man and can't wait to see all your cars and hear Lil story behind each one. Cool shit man. Acura tt. I swapped...... why didn't you just say everything😂😂
@@PatrickScott-r1z On paper, should be making about 550whp. It was a barnfind RHD Slicktop TT that we did a full restoration on. Fingers crossed everything goes smooth when it's up and running
@ hahah I guess I DID do everything on that thing. I appreciate you checking out the vids. You might like the Halloween one I did
There are lots of teams you can join as an "arrive and drive" member. If you're interested in lemons go crew or go rent a seat with a team and see it from the inside before you drop $$ on your own team. been racing lemons/endurance for a few years now, still an arrive and driver but with the same team whole time.
That's a great way to get your feet wet before committing to a team!
Great video. Any info on the Tommy Kaira car you mentioned in Atlanta?
Thank you. I’m working on maybe filming it. I know the importer is having the maintenance done on it at the moment. I’ll likely have more info soon. If you’re interested in buying it I can give you the importers info. DM me on Instagram.
I’m 60 seconds in and I already gave the 👍🏾🏎️
That’s what i’m talking about!!!

Hey bro!
🏎️💨💨💨 Keep up the great work man, this stuff rules!
I appreciate you saying that. I think I need to make a part 2
