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.
@@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.
@@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
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 😢
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
@@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.
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.
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?
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'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.
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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'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.
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.
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.
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.)
Anyone having trouble getting the epoxy to work on certain parts of the Chassis of an Ada 4x4? Ive driven around and checked every angle and for some reason the front and rear (of course typically the two most necessary parts to be repaired) wont prompt me to fix the car when the epoxy is in my hands.
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.
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 😂😂
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.
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
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.
@@Nitno Well, I don't know if that is a vanilla or mod thing, but I realize something cool. If your window glass is all cracked, you just need to finish the job and break it completely, then in the next server restart, the glass will be fully recovered. Enjoy! 😁

If possible it would be epoxy I believe. I am not positive if you can fix the bumpers though.
Very helpful mate but I have one question can you repair a radiator ?
Thanks! I don't believe you can repair the car radiator at this time. (also taking it out and putting it back in seems to empty the water inside.)

I find cars all the time but they don’t have a proxy menu? I’m guessing that means their just props.
Correct yes, but those "prop cars" often can be a source of parts. You can get car doors - hoods - and tires off of them sometimes.
When your watching this while fixing a car and the car gets slapped by a zombie and breaks forever...
Noooo dang!!! That is rough.

Hi, I'm not 100% durr if you mentioned in your video how car doors can be locked into the car and become undetatchable?
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.

You can fit a car tire in some of the biggest backpacks. Otherwise you'd need to carry it by hand.

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.

Thanks! To be honest, just industrial locations and sheds. There is no "one best spot" for parts.
Can be abandoned cars dismantled for parts ? Battery , Radiator etc ?
So in some ways, I have seen abandoned cars where I can take a wheel or door off. I have not personally seen battery and radiators.

@@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.
@@Nitno Yeah I did it. I actually just put my camera everywhere till it works so can’t say for sure where you gotta look
@@petrwarthursty2011 Alright thank you! I appreciate it.
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.)
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.
I love how you only need one spark plug lmao
Haha yep! You used to need motor oil but they took it out.
Anyone having trouble getting the epoxy to work on certain parts of the Chassis of an Ada 4x4? Ive driven around and checked every angle and for some reason the front and rear (of course typically the two most necessary parts to be repaired) wont prompt me to fix the car when the epoxy is in my hands.
It WILL let me repair the corner panels
Sorry for the late reply. The epoxy can be finicky and doesn't seem to repair all parts of the experience.
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.
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!
Can you repair the radiators?
From my understanding you cannot repair radiators unless this changes in the near future.
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.
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.
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.
you better tell me how not to die whilst you building a god damncar lol
carefully
How do I get the old tires off to put the new ones on
You should be able to target them and pull them off. If not they may be locked, tires can be unlocked / locked with a tire-iron.
One time I walked 1.5 km with a dual tire for the truck, it was more than worth it having a base on wheels
Well done!
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.
So once the glass is broken, there is no way to fix that if not replacing the entire part of the vehicle? 😒
Correct 😞
@@Nitno Well, I don't know if that is a vanilla or mod thing, but I realize something cool. If your window glass is all cracked, you just need to finish the job and break it completely, then in the next server restart, the glass will be fully recovered. Enjoy! 😁
