So I got on to Dayz pretty late. I like to play on a low volume official server. I have a small base with a tent, an oven, and an improvised shelter. One day i was creeping up on a zombie and to my surprise i see a car coming in my direction !! My heart started racing I had 2 thoughts come to mind “YO YOU CAN GET CARS!!!!!” And “whoever this guy is, he must be stacked”. So i proceed to pull out my Sporter and I take my shot. And in true Dayz fashion I missed and the guy pulls over, I see him go behind some rocks and i give chase. Mind yall i was at a distance.. this man proceeds to pull out a sniper rifle and i could feel the bullets coming close. I executed the most flawless zig zag retreat ever only to fall off a cliff and break a leg. Thankfully he didnt give chase otherwise I would have been done !!! But yeah having a car is helpful however zombies get attracted to the sound i believe.
I rarely comment on vids, however I had to make an exception as this was the most up to date, helpful DayZ car video on TH-cam. Keep up the great work!
@@Nitno Not a problem :) I just wanted to know as well, I came across a lot of cars in Dayz that looked like they could be fixed, and with good parts on them, but I've never been able to get the Tab menu where you can place all of the parts. Will this only work on cars with a pristine chassis? Sorry for the noob question!
I put 1000's of hours in the Dayz arma II mod. Bought dayz standalone the day it came out. Now ten years later it's finally not trash. This video was great got straight to the point.
This was very helpful, just started playing yesterday and I found a car with all the parts and the one thing I forgot was to fill the radiator, I thought the smoke was just how the cars went but no, the radiator had no water 😢
@@Nitno can't wait to see em, the things ye include on how to do are extremely helpful. Nearly gave up on this game, also love yer rust vids as well lol keep at it dude and have a good 2021
@@Nitno We had a green one, the prefacelift version. The number indicates the engine version, so 120 was 1.2L and 105 was 1.0L. The prefacelift looks more luxurious to me because of all the chrome and glossy interior gauges and panels, the facelifted version called M had everything in rubber and/or in rubber textured matte plastic. I would like to buy the car after I finish school since it’s still too expensive for me right now (those cars are getting pricier every year and to get a cheap one, you have to do a rebuild)
Sarka is the best car hands down it has the engine, radiator and stuff in the back so when you accidentally crash into the tree 1 shotting your car when a lag spike happens the sarka will be fine in that scenario because you don’t usually crash high speed in reverse
How to open the UI for the car? I keep running around cars tapping Tab (inventory), but I can't get any to open the UI. Also, if I build a car, how long will it last if I die or log out?
I suspect you may be going to wrecked vehicles and trying to check them for the UI. So Drive-able Vehicles and Wrecked Vehicles are different, Wrecked are basically static objects in the world, that you cannot fix up, they are just to find random items inside, and you can pillage them for parts like tires and doors. Drive-able vehicles are different and actually pretty rare, you'll see the UI of a drive-able vehicle. I beleive vehicles last 7-14 days before despawning, but you can touch it/interact with it and it will reset/extend that timer. Also if the engine of the car is ruined it will despawn quicker as engines cannot be fixed, and you cannot extend the timer.
thus helps so much I also watched a started vid from u and it helped out so much I got the game today and I already feel like I have learned so much I didnt know thx bro all the love from me
I've got a question, so everything on my car is in the green except for the front bumper, but it's only damaged. The back bumper is still fine. Is there a way to repair the front bumper or is it counted as the frame or chassis of the car?
If the engine is ruined it can't be fixed, then how would I get the car going again? Is it a new raidator/spark plug/battery? Or has the whole thing died and i need to find a new car?
If the engine has a RED dot, it is dead and broken without being repairable. Any other color it can be repaired with a pipe wrench. If just the radiator, spark plug, or battery is RED, then it can be repaired with spare parts.
OK, new question, and I think I know the answer. Do you have to use Olga tires on an Olga, and so on? or can you use Sarka tires on an Olga, etc? Is there any trick to getting tires? I checked 12 Olgas and found no tires, but lots of sarka tires and gunter tires
Hello, yes that is a new feature that came after this video. I believe a screwdriver locks the doors in place, tire iron for the tires, and wrench for the battery, radiator, sparkplug.
Good question, unfortunately you'll have to find them in the open world. Not all cars are repairable, they will have a UI if they are repairable. They can be quite rare depending on what server you are playing on. Some cars will need to be repaired more than others. It's even possible a car is ready to go when you find it.
Just built my first car, an ada 4x4. Instantly crashed and ruined the radiator due to a large freeze, but I had an extra thank the lord. If you get a car, keep it under 50kmh. That’s just my opinion. Anything else causes large freezes.
In the time that this game has been out, has any group ever tried clear cutting an area of land to make an off-road course, or does a viable section of the map already exist??
Good question. I do know there are vidoes out there of organized races on private servers. There also used to be a legit bridge jump, not sure if that still exists. I like where you are going with this though.
I've only just gotten the game a few days ago and got a car up and going but as I was driving the game lagged and the car crashed I fixed up almost all the parts but the radiator is damaged and I'm not sure how to repair it. I'm in the process of trying to find a replacement but I'd like to know if you can fix a damaged one.
Hello lleyton, it depends on how damages it is. Try taking it out and placing it in your inventory. If it is red then it is ruined and you need a new one.
@I'm not your buddy guy! ah interesting, so you can flee from a glitched out car faster. Yes doors do provide some protection, especially smaller caliber rounds.
Thank you! Good question on the m3s, I am actually working on a video for it right now. From my initial findings, yes it can be repaired in the same way for the most part.
@@petrwarthursty2011 Thanks for the reply. On PC I can't seem to find the sweet spot to repair the engine with a pipe wrench on the M3S. Any tips? Have you done it personally, or are you going off a tip? Thank you.
Great video! Have you found the "sweet spot" for repairing the Sarka engine with the pipe wrench? I can't seem to find it anywhere. The other ones are easy enough.
Got this question a few times so I tested it myself and dug around for info as well, from my understanding this is indeed a bug and cannot currently be repaired until updated. Here is a feedback tracker from a month ago on it. feedback.bistudio.com/T155676
@@Nitno Oh, so I've figured it out. You can actually do it, but it's pretty silly. You have to stand on your front windshield, and look straight down towards your front hood. There's a very *small* sweet spot, so wave your view around until you find it. It's all the way in the back towards the center, iirc. This is on Xbox btw
@@unclejimbo888 Nice find! Weird though, I am trying it on PC and I still can't get the sweet spot with your tips. So even though the engine is in the back, I'd need to be in the front, standing on the front windshield, and look down towards between the front hood and dash? (with the front hood open)? Thanks!
I have a question, I noticed that you can open the hood on the wrecked cars but is it actually worth it ? Can I find something under the hood except the ruined engine ?
I could be mistaken, but I believe opening the hood only is helpful if you are looking to take the hood in your hands and place the hood on a real car you are fixing.
Do car engines wear out or why engine of my car started to get damaged without any reason? Radiator full of water, didn't crash or rev too high. After driving around the block a couple of times check engine light popped up and engine went from pristine to damaged. Same every time after I repaired engine with pipe wrench. Only reason I could came up is that there's limit how much car can be driven before engine wears out and starts to self destruct and I had that car for a long time.
Good question, so most cars in the open world are just props and can't be interacted with. Cars that can be repaired will have an inventory system when you inspect them. If the car engine has a red dot next to it, this means it is broken beyond repair. Any other color such as orange or green can be repaired.
If you go up to the car and try to open the inventory screen you'll see parts you can place in it. Wrecked unusable cars won't have any inventory and at most will just have car doors/hoods/and tires you may be able to remove and reuse. (PS: cars are extremely rare in most servers, they are sort of a special item that not everyone has.)
Im new to dayz, I had an incident with my car and managed to brake all my front like the bonnet, doors and tires. I can still drive it with broken tires, will something happen eventually to where i wont be able to drive it with the broken tires or can i just keep using the car with broken tires without anything happening?
i have a question which is i can’t fix damaged engines with a pipe wrench what is the problem with that why can’t i do like it siad in the video when i get the pipe in my hands and i look at the engine icon there’s no repair damage but the engine is yellow for example
Was wondering .. how do you fix bumpers and roofs tho? I tried epoxy for the roof doesn't work and I'm still pretty new to maintain cars in dayz. I've had the weirdest glitch where my Olga just flipped on the roof and back on its wheel while driving on a straight road. So only my roof got damaged 😂😂
WTF! How do I keep my vehicle on the ground? I keep either flying into the air or sinking into the ground... sometimes it corrects itself but a lot of the times it gets stuck or shoots the car into the sky. Is there a fix for this?
Yikes! I've seen videos like this. From my understanding it's an issue with servers not able to handle the player count (server load) and lagging then things start going crazy with cars. Maybe a lower pop server or one hosted on better hardware. I can't say for sure.
They car should remain there, a ruined engine is what will cause a car to despawn. I'd make sure to interact with it regularly though just for peace of mind.
The vehicle should save where you left it... unless someone finds it and drives it away. It will only despawn if the engine is ruined or it is not moved and interacted with for many days I believe.
I'd say try doing this on an empty server to avoid the aggravation. Or for at least practicing. Nothing like going way far outta your way for the last car part and running into a hostile survivor.
I was hoping there was a facility to put a great big V8 in your car and pimp it out to make it look really out-of-place in a post-apocalyptic world but also give you something rare, hard-to-outrun and worth hiding.
so it actually has to be more than 3/4th full radiator, so even if you feel like youve added a lot, try to fill it completely till it doesn't let you anymore.
Is there to repair the actual vehicle, for example my Olga has everything pristine however when looking at the seats for example it shows it as damaged. No tool I currently uses fixes that.
I found the 4x4 one and i finished fix it but it was long way from home and was like 6am when i finish it so i put some water but forget to check engine when i got home i exit the car and it was red :c
I found a car with everything in the hood that is required to drive. Fill up the radiator with water and suddenly it started smoking with a yellow check engine. Any idea what went wrong?
Hmm, strange... I mean that does sound like an issue with the radiator. Any change the radiator was damaged? Also if you fill the radiator with water, BUT then remove the radiator it empties the water, so placing it back in would place it empty. Also maybe the actual engine was damaged?
🚨 You now need a Blowtorch to fix an engine! (New in 1.19 Patch) 🚨

I don't, it could be a server side thing. Usually when I get that, turning the car off and getting out fixes it. Sometimes it doesn't though.

Only reason I could came up is that there's limit how much car can be driven before engine wears out and starts to self destruct and I had that car for a long time.
That is very strange. Maybe the radiator needed more water? I believe it needs at least 75% of the water gauge to avoid damage.
@@Nitno Nope radiator full and engine destroyed itself without any reason. Maybe some kind of rare glitch if this isn't normal.
@@YoStu242 Dang that is strange, I am not sure what caused that :/
it happen to me...twice. No solutions? Also the server where I am is with mods. I had cars before in vanilla servers and all good with the cars.
How do you know what cars struture are good? For me cars are all destroyed
Good question, so most cars in the open world are just props and can't be interacted with. Cars that can be repaired will have an inventory system when you inspect them. If the car engine has a red dot next to it, this means it is broken beyond repair. Any other color such as orange or green can be repaired.
Oh man I have a spark plug and car battery but I definitely feel like I’m gonna die lol cos I’m new to the game
Such is life (and death) in DayZ :)
How do you know what cars are usable? I'm on official servers
If you go up to the car and try to open the inventory screen you'll see parts you can place in it. Wrecked unusable cars won't have any inventory and at most will just have car doors/hoods/and tires you may be able to remove and reuse. (PS: cars are extremely rare in most servers, they are sort of a special item that not everyone has.)
Im new to dayz, I had an incident with my car and managed to brake all my front like the bonnet, doors and tires. I can still drive it with broken tires, will something happen eventually to where i wont be able to drive it with the broken tires or can i just keep using the car with broken tires without anything happening?
I do believe your tires will eventually go ruined, especially if you have any more bumps. Try to find a Tire Repair Kit and fix them up!
@@Nitno My tires are ruined, they have gone red but i can still drive it. I dont know if thats normal or what, first time having a car
i have a question which is i can’t fix damaged engines with a pipe wrench what is the problem with that why can’t i do like it siad in the video when i get the pipe in my hands and i look at the engine icon there’s no repair damage but the engine is yellow for example
hmm good question, what kind of car are you using? If its the m3s truck I hear there is a big right now but its fixed in 1.14.
Can you list supplies I would need to carry in the trunk to keep the car going?
Hello, if you mean "nice things to have", you could have a spare of each item and items to repair them with.
Was wondering .. how do you fix bumpers and roofs tho? I tried epoxy for the roof doesn't work and I'm still pretty new to maintain cars in dayz. I've had the weirdest glitch where my Olga just flipped on the roof and back on its wheel while driving on a straight road. So only my roof got damaged 😂😂
I do not believe you can fix the roof and bumper at this time. If anything, it would epoxy.
@@Nitno thank you. I wasn't sure if the game was bugged or if I didn't have the right tools.
@@jacoblapointe8181 You are welcome!
WTF! How do I keep my vehicle on the ground? I keep either flying into the air or sinking into the ground... sometimes it corrects itself but a lot of the times it gets stuck or shoots the car into the sky. Is there a fix for this?
Yikes! I've seen videos like this. From my understanding it's an issue with servers not able to handle the player count (server load) and lagging then things start going crazy with cars. Maybe a lower pop server or one hosted on better hardware. I can't say for sure.
Quick question how do you change gears? Great video by the way
Q and E on PC
Right. O (up) and x (down) on ps4. Don’t know the button names for x box but same story.
@@coltonnemitz3033 Good advice :)
Found my first car today, blew up 10 minutes later. Ah, forgot the wrench... good tips here, thank you
You are very welcome, good luck on your next car!
or maybe the mafia wanted to send you a message lol
If parts (tires/battery) are removed from a truck while storing it, will it despawn when the server restarts?
They car should remain there, a ruined engine is what will cause a car to despawn. I'd make sure to interact with it regularly though just for peace of mind.
How did you make you game look so good
offline mode and crank up the graphics!
@@Nitno oh that makes sense I play on Xbox just wondering thought there were some secret settings that I was missing
Need helo how can i save that vehicle or if i left the server will it respawn?
The vehicle should save where you left it... unless someone finds it and drives it away. It will only despawn if the engine is ruined or it is not moved and interacted with for many days I believe.
Can zombies get you if your in a car with all the parts on it like doors hood trunk etc
If you have 4 cars doors/windows you should be protected from Zombies.
Can you repair the radiators?
From my understanding you cannot repair radiators unless this changes in the near future.
Is it just me I follow all steps and I dont even red line and my cars on xbox engine goes to yellow then red
Hrmm I am not sure to be honest, make sure your radiator has enough water.
I'd say try doing this on an empty server to avoid the aggravation. Or for at least practicing. Nothing like going way far outta your way for the last car part and running into a hostile survivor.
Good thinking
I was hoping there was a facility to put a great big V8 in your car and pimp it out to make it look really out-of-place in a post-apocalyptic world but also give you something rare, hard-to-outrun and worth hiding.
Thatd be so fun!
My engine gets ruined just after few secs of driving like yours at 3:16. The radiator is full with water what is the problem ? bug ?
so it actually has to be more than 3/4th full radiator, so even if you feel like youve added a lot, try to fill it completely till it doesn't let you anymore.
Is there to repair the actual vehicle, for example my Olga has everything pristine however when looking at the seats for example it shows it as damaged. No tool I currently uses fixes that.
This is not unfortunately.
@@Nitno hope that doesnt mean if the chassis gets ruined the car will despawn even though the car physically is able to drive..
I found the 4x4 one and i finished fix it but it was long way from home and was like 6am when i finish it so i put some water but forget to check engine when i got home i exit the car and it was red :c
Aww nooo, dang!
I found a car with everything in the hood that is required to drive. Fill up the radiator with water and suddenly it started smoking with a yellow check engine. Any idea what went wrong?
Hmm, strange... I mean that does sound like an issue with the radiator. Any change the radiator was damaged? Also if you fill the radiator with water, BUT then remove the radiator it empties the water, so placing it back in would place it empty. Also maybe the actual engine was damaged?
