Seriously man, it's the perfect project car build. It's stupid fast, handles great, sounds amazing, and it's sexy as hell. It's a jaw dropper whether he's at a show or HPDE. It would probably kill at SEMA. The dude who built that thing is a boss.
Awesome awesome 240z... this is the best one I’ve ever seen... I would love to Hav one of these... really nice and clean.,.. mean looking... my goodness, I’d love to work on a car with you...
Joao Pereira hell yes please do a build bio... I’d love to do it... holla @ me Jah.metrowealth@gmail.com MetroWealthFilms... 335’s.... Damn???? Pls let me film this...
nah bro. smokey has RWD JDM V8's and V12's. RIP smokey Nagata. they have real USDM vipers in japan. this video is about an unholy matrimony between a USDM motor in a LHD Japanese import.
Even better, the 240z and up fairladies have insane history in racing/rally it was driving all day long in Africa at rallies where it's 40+ celcius outside, I know some cars from the 90s and early 00s that would overheat so quick driving 60mph for a entire day with scorching hot sun
omg its not drifting... Its actually intended to turn fast lap times and stay on the ground! Love that wide wide. EDIT: Again, i have NO issue with drifting and drift cars. It's just real nice to see someone doing 1-off Frankenstein grip builds that AREN'T boring homologated GT cars (looking at you BMW M6)
The only problem with drifting is the posers. I used to drift a little back in the day with a slammed S10 for fun since the truck was more of a show truck. It had too much HP for what it was and would never hook. Funny thing is the same posers busting my balls are now the biggest drift dorks complete with fake rub marks and every Japanese trinket possible. It's funny because none of them can actually drift,they sit around talking about who's got the most angle but never use it. I'll go out and rip harder in my juiced Toyota taco and they'll just talk shit. There's a few other older guys that rip locally and they're down but the scene around me is fucked. Back in the day drifting was just about having fun,that's all. As soon as they tried to make it a sport like racing and became mainstream it went downhill.
This car is just too much win. This is exactly what people did in the 50's and 60's, take a junker and whatever parts they could build or scavenge and build a truly custom machine that was 100% original and unique. IMO, purists have a place and a purpose but they need to back off whining about what other people do to their own cars. Sure, if it's a rare, numbers matching car then it's worth trying to preserve and restore but if it isn't, STFU, better a truly awesome custom build than a pile of rotting scrap in a junkyard. This is the best looking/specced out build I have seen based on a Fairlady, looks and function, freaking amazing job!
thats what im trying to do accept instead of taking a pre existing car im fabbing my own from a design board to bassically be a all around car with jdm look american build parts and motor and pretty much the entire thing is gonna be custom
The combination of looks, fit, and function is staggeringly impressive. The sheer variety of components that come together to achieve that make it even more so.
Love this car. Went to college with this guy. Business class was boring but glad to see what you are doing now friend. Love what he is doing with his life.
This one of the best features I've seen. Straight to the point and no bubble gun answers. Dude definitely knows his stuff. Great interview. #subscribe 👍
I really enjoyed this episode. Perfect example of ingenuity and vision to fabricate one of the coolest conversions Ive seen that just combines the best of Japanese design with raw american engineering. Simply classic!
its getting to the point where i want to see larrys content and dans more than anyone else. larry, you bring AMAZING content to this channel and thank god too. seriously sweet car!
THE MOST GORGEOUS DATSUN I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! The juggernaut LS, lift kit, & custom widebody is the icing on the cake!!! & The fact that it is a Shelby doppelganger.... PRICELESS!!! The Shelby doesn't have a wide body kit so I think this looks btr!
That is no joke one of the prettiest builds ive ever seen, it looks like stock bcs its so clean and factory like. The composition is so on point...amazing.
Holy poop on a stick.... That's the best looking car/build I've seen in a long, long time..It's rare when you see a car as someone from the outside and can't find anything you'd change.
Thats a truly beautiful piece of engineering, function dictating form and both producing a work of automotive art. Like the bastard child of Porsche 935 and Brock Cobra... Larry you have sick taste!!
Fiarlady Z06 damn... that is a fine name for a 240Z there is def a cult following of the 240Z around the world MCM Fairlady Z/240Z is RB26 powered The Motor Trend also featured an RB26 powered 240Z this LS job is not a half ass slash and weld job over the weekend kind of build it made to go corners and be a fast grip car. I still a fan of the L28, the S20 and RB straight 6s that Nissan used to have in the Skyline GT-R and Fairlady Zs but this build i can make an exception
I saw under the hood of a stock Z for the first time IRL about a week ago, the stock engine looks sooooooo big, like it could've almost come out of a tractor!!!!
Nah the 240Z, Although it may have been a 270Z here in Australia, not sure of the year. But also yeah I've seen under the hood of a modern Z too, and there ain't much room for activities under there! haha!
@@paulwade5853 usually the Z are 260Z or 280Z. The original Z had the 2.4L straight then it had 2.6L The final 280Z and the 280ZX has the L28E and L28ET.
Sure old bone stock cars are cool, but this car was joint to be scrapped anyway, so for the purists out there, would you rather have one less 240z in the world, or one more v8 swapped 240z?
NinjaRider777R yes there is. Who said you have to use the original motor? There many other Nissan motors out there that are a far better option than a shitty LS junk motor with ancient 1950's pushrod technology.
NinjaRider777R you clearly know nothing about Nissan motors with a statement like that. Here in Australia we have R32 GTR street cars, with the factory straight 6 block, driven to and from the track, with full interior, running 7.00 seconds quarter miles, on pump gas and radial tires.
BifB's Z is a show car :/ Gonna be on air suspension too, I hope Chris changes his mind but the guy always seems to have a crazy idea then half asses it by the end. Just see his FD RX7
You should check out this channel "Street Banditos" and their all carbon fiber body/honday engine swapped 240Z. It's pure badass and awesome to watch them build!!!
This is the sort of thing you could make a business out of like Singer did. Make a shop where you just bring an early 70s 240z and some cash, in return you get this. People would line up and pay 100k easy.
I had two 240Z's. Dad and brother also had one each. One of my favorite classic cars. This build is awesome. Much respect. Don't understand why Nissan refuses to go retro with a new Z. Worked with the Mustang, Camero, Charger, 500, Mini, etc.
Can't imagine what dedication has been poured here, imagine tuning cams to bleed off torque holy smokes, that attention to power! He wanted to floor that car while doing corners!
Hates cars? You mean love cars. Anyone who loves classic datsuns would not like the car. Video is sick car is trash looking very trash especially considering it was made from a datsun 240
Problem is they have to comply with modern safety regulations. Therefore you have to have huge fronts, huge a-pillars etc. That's why most remakes does not look as nice as the original models. See remakes like NSX, Mini, Mustang, Camaro.
Holy fuck, I'm completely mindblown at how amazing this Z looks. The whole build is flawless, major props to the owner for restoring this car. Usually I'm not a fan of swapping engines in classic cars, but here I can make an exception. On top of that, the owner uses it and doesn't let it collect dust in his garage. Amazing work 👍
Easily the sickest car I’ve seen in a long time. My lord
Seriously man, it's the perfect project car build. It's stupid fast, handles great, sounds amazing, and it's sexy as hell. It's a jaw dropper whether he's at a show or HPDE. It would probably kill at SEMA. The dude who built that thing is a boss.
Awesome awesome 240z... this is the best one I’ve ever seen... I would love to Hav one of these... really nice and clean.,.. mean looking... my goodness, I’d love to work on a car with you...
And best-looking I don't want to copy somebody but if I did.. I mean you can't blame me look at this track ready car
Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for making the right call and checking this thing out!

Larry Chen strikes again with an amazing find ! That Z is one of the coolest builds of 2018 hands down. Greatd job !
Best modernized 240z I've seen to date

Holy shit. I’d trade everything I have for that car along with my girlfriend except my dogs. My dogs aren’t going anywhere.
this man's got his priorities straight!
Bruh, teach me your discipline
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha……..ahh shit that was hilarious!
And this, kids, is how a REAL man sounds like!
We called your girlfriend ...she said the same about this car. LOL.
nice to see a man build a car and then DRIVE it like he stole it ... sickkkk!
This is like the Dodge Viper of Japan if you think of it
Gerardo Carbajal Sounds about right. Only because I can't think of a better example.
@@2moke2creen a Japanese Z06 cuz it has the Z06 engine.... plus it's a v8 not v10.... duh!

I'm with you drifting is super over done and I have no interest
Imm all about grip. Drifting is fun but i want to see more crazy drift builds like that
@@Clones2011 why? Never drifted/powerslid before?

same, jeez, id have to add some nice turn down pipes on that end tho,
The combination of looks, fit, and function is staggeringly impressive. The sheer variety of components that come together to achieve that make it even more so.
That is stunning, one of the most beautiful builds I've ever seen!
This is the most sinister Datsun ever! I need to find a way to make my e46 m3 this iconic!
that all motor 6.8 e46 is cool on hoonigans vids. check that 1 out. might get sum ideas👌
You'll come up with it mane!!
Love this car. Went to college with this guy. Business class was boring but glad to see what you are doing now friend. Love what he is doing with his life.
I'd clap but my hands are clenched in fists, shaking. This build is amazing. It's like a muscle-Porsche or something. Thanks for featuring this ride!
I have to say that is a pretty sick Z. Amazing amount of work he had to put into it. Awesome job
This is the most beautiful 240 I've ever seen. Seriously.
That guy was humble and a bit camera shy, but what a beast he has created!!

Hope to see more of this car. Great build
Jon Chames hopefully he gets me to film a bio for the build... and a full walk thru... I’d love to film it... MetroWealthFilms
This is amazing. luv the low wide stance. This has taken some real thinking to come up with this performance gem. well done.
What a top bloke and very good driver. Hats off man........unreal car. Love your work.
Best LS swap I have seen for sure!!! Dude killed it all around.
I love everything about this car.
I'm blown away, Brilliant build Sir.
Thank you Larry! Lovely custom creation right there. I enjoyed seeing it.
I'm in love with this car. Truly a well executed project.
I feel heavy disapointment knowing I don't own it.
Not with that attitude.
pabauza oh yeah well theirs a nice datson 2 door on market place for 1600.00 hundred dollars all is not lost man
Absolutely badass. This thing definitely needs a build breakdown at the shop.
This is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
One of the best looking cars I’ve ever seen
2 sexy for auto cross. Love the engineer driver combo, can't ever knock the driver if he build it to "his" spec. Just awesome footage here.
Hands down best 240z I have ever seen. 👍🏻
This is now one of my all time favorite builds I have ever seen. Amazing.
its getting to the point where i want to see larrys content and dans more than anyone else. larry, you bring AMAZING content to this channel and thank god too.
seriously sweet car!
Props to going hydraulic on the suspension.
Seriously. He took no easy roads on this build.
I think that was a factory vette thing but im not 100% i know they had the hydrodynamic struts but not sure if it raises it up n down or not
@@rustedratchetgarage6788 they didn't raise up or down. Just had the magnetic ride control which changed dampening
shawnmeyer44 ok i wasn't sure
@@chickenfishhybrid44 tas perro wey
Midnight creeww damm 3 uploads at the time but i have still watching the 2 other before 🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️
THE MOST GORGEOUS DATSUN I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! The juggernaut LS, lift kit, & custom widebody is the icing on the cake!!! & The fact that it is a Shelby doppelganger.... PRICELESS!!! The Shelby doesn't have a wide body kit so I think this looks btr!

Absolutely gorgeous. The car that is...🤜🤛
It looks like some kind of Fast and Furious/Batmobile contraption. AMAZING

That is no joke one of the prettiest builds ive ever seen, it looks like stock bcs its so clean and factory like. The composition is so on point...amazing.
90" wheelbase Z06 with an extra 75hp and 600 fewer lbs on 255's?
Freakin'-a!
Best looking 240z ever. There I said it. Sorry Larry.
It just is! I know it's just an opinion but anyone who disagrees is wrong, haha
Yes best ever, he definetly did this one here some justice
I'm torn
The Chen videos are always my favorite. Love the combo of footage to photos.
This has got to be one of the dopest cars I've ever seen on your Channel. Might be my favorite
wow this is probably the cleanest 240z i've seen period....
They say nothing beats the original but damn that car is sexy af. Nice work bud

there is def a cult following of the 240Z around the world
MCM Fairlady Z/240Z is RB26 powered
The Motor Trend also featured an RB26 powered 240Z

it made to go corners and be a fast grip car.

if i had the funds id try buy the car and build a L28 turbo for it or maybe keep it NA. datsuns dont sound right with a chevy engine in them

Saw this the other weekend at the goodguys festival and man this car rips!! Catches your eye quick, and sounds so good
When Batman goes JDM. This car is absolutely awesome!
Not JDM.
3 uploads at once I’m confused what to watch
My GOODNESS! This build is one of the most ORIGINAL, well-crafted, high-powered, and purpose-built whips I've ever seen!
CLEAN! when it comes to cars, this channel really helps me get our of my comfort zone.
Why can’t we buy cars like this from the manufacture today?! Beautiful. Just awesome artwork.
Jackson Matthews because efficiency and pedestrian safety laws probably
You guys should do a build break down on this car!?
Absolutely stunning car. Looks like the guy did a tremendous job with the build.
Bravo Tylor. That is one of the most unique ... Anything and everything that I've ever seen. Bravo.
WAIT THREE MIDNIGJT UPLOADS??? YALL WILDIN THE MIDNIGHT CREW THANKS YA
Bonus channel midnight crew, main channel lunch break crowd?
You need to take this to SEMA. Would love to see a more in depth review. You also need to contact Matt Farrah.
Farrah wouldnt fit in it.
The cleanest Datsun Z I have ever seen in my life.
This is one of the most gorgeous cars I've ever seen!
Sure old bone stock cars are cool, but this car was joint to be scrapped anyway, so for the purists out there, would you rather have one less 240z in the world, or one more v8 swapped 240z?
Japan looks and feels, American sounds, it´s heavenly!
Lol Idk well ppl will look at that and want to imitate it resulting in more hack jobs and less bone stock cars.
saving it from being scrapped doesn't mean you have to ruin it by putting a shitty LS in it
NinjaRider777R yes there is. Who said you have to use the original motor? There many other Nissan motors out there that are a far better option than a shitty LS junk motor with ancient 1950's pushrod technology.

I cant tell if it corners really flat, or if its just so wide it's an illusion.
3:47 that view is everything!! Those rear fenders are soooo wicked
Legitimately one of the coolest looking restomods I've ever seen
Chris from B is for Build has a run for his money now. The Fairlady Z06 vs what BifB m5 240z will be.
I'm excited to see that one done
BifB z is shit.
That was my first thought too
BifB's Z is a show car :/ Gonna be on air suspension too, I hope Chris changes his mind but the guy always seems to have a crazy idea then half asses it by the end. Just see his FD RX7

240z body skinned over a 350z/370z with Vq,vr38,Vk engine options .I'm sure you could get a market
This guy probably has 1500+ hours into building this thing.. 100k wouldn't do it.

I had two 240Z's. Dad and brother also had one each. One of my favorite classic cars. This build is awesome. Much respect. Don't understand why Nissan refuses to go retro with a new Z. Worked with the Mustang, Camero, Charger, 500, Mini, etc.
Chen! I need a wallpaper of this car!!
Everything about that car was amazing did anyone else see the hood fall or was that automatic......
Josh Dobson yeah haha I saw that
I love this car. Just love it. Great job to the builder.
Absolute wow. What an amazing build.
How can i get wallpapers of those stills? Theyre incredible
Dylan Sorenson I think it's on Larry's website. Check the description.
Yes i totally agree
1 video down 2 to go hahah
Can't imagine what dedication has been poured here, imagine tuning cams to bleed off torque holy smokes, that attention to power! He wanted to floor that car while doing corners!
Met him at lsfest east. Can’t emphasize how much cooler the car is because the driver is so down to earth. Humble guy
what is going on with roof-mounted GoPro at 3:06 ?
most likely has to do with the motion blur/shake reduction setting of the camera he's using
It's happy to ride along
Lol
scan lines etc
Glitch in the matrix caught on film!
If you squint your eyes it’s a Porsche lol
actually not a bad idea to give an old FR porsche this treatment.
Absolutely amazing build. Looks good. Sounds good
My second time to watch this video. Great vision and end results. I could stare at that thing all day long!
Who got that B O N E R KICKED IN?! 😏😂🙏🏽👌🏽💯🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🥖✊🏽
Look out for the weird beards.
MCM represent
Looks simply amazing! Dream car
This thing is absolutely gorgeous. Damn brody killed it with this build.
Never really liked fairladys but this one looks nice af
Review the B is for build v10 datsun when its done
Alejandro Ramos valid
I am in absolute love with this. I'm strangely emotional seeing this beautifully mad thing.
One of the sexiest cars I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing!!
The people who dislike this video hates cars
or they just have good taste and wouldn't ruin a nice datsun by putting a shitty LS motor in it
@@BrosefDudley first of all the ls motors aren't shitty or else no one would use them and he didn't ruin the datsun he really made it better
First of all you're a fuckwit.
Second he definitely ruined it.
And third LS swaps are for poor people and people with no taste.
Good day sir.
@@BrosefDudley lol your so emotional over an engine swap? Quit crying peopel can do whatever they want with there cars sorry if it hurts your feelings
Hates cars? You mean love cars. Anyone who loves classic datsuns would not like the car. Video is sick car is trash looking very trash especially considering it was made from a datsun 240
Manufacturers have to start using old car models again with newer tech. There is no purpose in making a new body when you can't make it look better
Problem is they have to comply with modern safety regulations. Therefore you have to have huge fronts, huge a-pillars etc. That's why most remakes does not look as nice as the original models. See remakes like NSX, Mini, Mustang, Camaro.
Holy hell, this thing is amazing! Very creative and great execution.
Holy fuck, I'm completely mindblown at how amazing this Z looks. The whole build is flawless, major props to the owner for restoring this car.
