Haha lmao, Master of Nuggets.
Master, Master, Master of Nuggets is ripping through gears. Twisting through roads and smashing through gears.
Love the Master of puppets by Metallica. One of my favorite songs.
check out the song "Clipping Death" here on the tube for some hilarous lyrics regarding the loudness war xD
Does Marty now need to " fight fire with fire " with 2sxy

This shouldn't become a thing
skills to rhyme gears with gears ya knob
Fusion360 is AMAZING, being able to design parts in CAD is an invaluable skill as a fabricator.
No spacers, no blowoff valves...Australian laws suck
Shannons have been awesome with insuring my w110 Mercedes :)
Congratulations!
You could get a Chevy El Camino or GMC Caballero. Its just an american Ute and they look nice form 1982 to 1987
Hello MCM .!! Can you make a video about rotary engine .?? I really want to see MCM working on a rotary engine ... Maxda Rx-7 maybe .?? Looking forward to this video that i request...☺☺☺
The written test for a motorcycle license in the USA is 20 questions. Then you take a road test
TAY TAY WAS OUT OF THE WOODS, HOLLER IF YOU HEAR ME
I lost it at Master of Nuggets xDDD
Loved this more "intimate" episode
Awesome hoodie! 🤘
All the sizzle, no sausage
I knew you were fan of Metallica because in every video I seen I've always seen you were Metallica shirts and jackets and I love that song Master of the Puppets by Metallica
Oh and please do more bikes stuff 😁
24:26 you were at macquarie Park
It probably would have been easier to import yourself to Japan
I believe thats called travelling
@@sefyboy7183 I think he means on a permanent basis, so, emigrating.
All that... and we didn't even get to see it on the road chopping up a Mazda 3...
I loved the shade Moog had for the mention of a Mazda 3 when this video had like five Mazda ads
Choppeeed
Maybe they should put it up against an RX-3 26b. That might be interesting.
Nothing chops a mazda 3
dont be silly
My SP23 will chop the 240. It's got a k&n in it. ✌️
Haven't been so happy for the boys since Moog bought Marty the Mira. 😂 Well done guys, can't believe how hard it has been to bring an old car back to the road and it is what I do for a living! Can't wait to see what you do next!
David Martin don't you just wanna make them some cookies and trade tofu recipes
The car needs a wooden round ball gear shift knob.. Similar to a Porsche Carrera GT....
that would make sens in australia !
You can make one out of old skateboards
As long as it has the gear layout sticker on it, if it's not there it's a defect in NSW.
billiard ball ;)
that's crazy. The level of detail required by the government of NSW to pass Engineering is waaay over what I would have expected - or frankly, over what I would consider reasonable.
Can't wait to see it on the road!
for those asking they prob forgot to blur some info out on the paper work so they fixed it and reuploaded it
The mentioned European wheel is the Minilite, a classic on British sporty cars from the late '60s on up.
Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus they are still made.
minilite.co.uk/
Was going to say, it's a Minilite copy. Which, arguably, is why a Watanabe copy looks good on the Mini.
I was just about to ask if watanabe's were a minilite copy
the Minilite is also a copy though of the original Compomotive ML-series.
they are though not made anymore and have not been for eons and are not road legal as they are made of composites.
(was a wheel for rally use only)
think even the modern alloy Compomotive ML is even made on the same production facilities as the Minilite.
Børre Børresen the MiniLight was made for years before Compomotive started as a company.
Old analog synthz... like a Moog....?
I was super confused the first time I ever googled "Moog" for this reason
You think that's bad?.... Thats the nicest dmv ive ever seen.... Here in america they have fewer uncomfortable chairs than people and cram you in a crowded room thats way overfilled
Cuyler Leonard shit they got it inside of a mall. I can get a pretzel and register my car at the same time.
Boner Patrol right? Lol
Just what I was thinking. In LA you get all the above plus rude people that just hate their job.
I just go to a different nearby city to do that. Its about a 20 minute drive for me but it's worth it because there's more chairs than there are people and the wait is usually about 10-15 minutes
That depends where you live. Back home it's over a hr in line to be told what line to stand in for the rest of the day. Where I'm at now worst has been. 40 mins. On and out no questions no POI just hesa the papers and the cash and here's your tags.
If you'll make steel spacers and weld them to the rotor on wheel side/outside... Is it still a spacer or just custom brake disc ?
lenon1980 I like the way you think.
Or weld alloy spacers to the wheel of choice and fit appropriate length studs.
That would require engineering certification itself
Or keep them alloy and weld them to the rims. Then turn it down so looks uniform and paint it.
Here it would be instant fail if you welded brake or suspension parts at all :D
Moogtallica - Master of Nuggets
Mainfold that's a shirt I'd buy!
I'm in 👍🍻
In my humble oppinion the real Nugget Master is Marty.
*Australlica
I was worried they deleted the vid entirely! God bless you Aussies.
The Australian Vehicle Rego scene is such over the top BS.
Has been for years and really, what are they protecting??
Shame you couldn't find a 240z at the wreckers
Marty, if you really want a Gemini, get a Opel Kadett from Germany ! the proper Gemini, and they are alot cheaper ! :D
Tivoliterror Have fun searching one here in germany without rust and / or fully fucked up. If its in good condition it costs its weight in gold ;)
a good one cost around 8200 dollars in norway O.o
Or just get a Torana 😊
get a rodeo it has a 4ze1 and is like working on a gemin and you can get turbo kits and its a ute and it has fans and its ozzy jdm and it awesome.....
Gemini's don't really cost that much, that guy has a super low km factory original Sandpiper (which was just a model variant really, nothing particularly special about it), and even then he's kidding himself that he'll get that much for it. It's worth, like, 15 grand tops. Hell, the guy who built the CDT homologation cars for racing is selling his personal TG model, it has loads of mods and is a 100% unique car (only one was ever built) and he's only asking 18 grand. There's quite a few other Geminis for sale, all for well under 10 grand.
The $100,000 Datsun is LEGAL!
🎶MASTER! MASTER! Master of nuggets is pulling your sleeves...
Into your pits while the Fairlady screams...
Hope for a ride? Ha ha in your dreams...
It's for date night to make Moog's girly cream...
Master! Master!🎶 ✌😎
Master of crumpets! I like mine with marmite 😂
If you love Metallica and crumpet aka girls awesome cars are only a string away 😎
Lee Osullivan awesome cars help butter the crumpets, if you get my meaning. 🚗💨💨💁💖
Heeeeey what's up with that EJ Suby engine sitting over there?
Aye, what's with the EJ?
Yes, what's the EJ with the up?
legend has it, it is miss daisy's engine
It's junk, bad ring land.
They sold miss daisy as a shell, probably that engine.
Might be a dumb question, but you know a bunch of welders and machinists. You have the spacers and wheels, why couldn't you weld those spacers to the inside of the wheels and then turn the welds back on a lathe? Seems like a super easy fix. Doesn't really affect functionality, and it's definitely safer than just using spacers. Could even repaint after the work and they'd look factory. If the wheels are steel and the spacers are aluminum, what's stopping you from having steel spacers made up and doing the same? You'd have them in a few days and you can still switch to your custom jobs when they show up in January.
Its all about the force being put on the studs, over in NSW they are pretty hard on it
Hilux was pure..
Unlike the 240z
Wot
And unlike your mum. ;)
BRING BACK THE HILUX!
The hiace might have been pure as well

Do a AE82 twin cam corolla build !!!! Everyone in Australia back in the day owned one or had a in high school . 4AGE TWIN CAM POWER !!!!
Gaz Girl Good luck finding one that hasn't been thrashed to death, rusted out or both. 😁😂 It would be as expensive as that 35K Gemini. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
MafiaboysWorld what AE82 ?? How if I’ve owned three in the past 6 years ,but body in two of them had rust in the common places and crashed upfront lucky the 3rd car was in great condition body wise very light rust and been in a crashed got it for 1600 Aussie three years ago came with a 20v but it was all dodgy like most vehicles you buy to restore/ modify,and with all the parts from the other cars I can build another car just need a good body, even got three engine 4age 16v . You can still find them look on gumtree
I have one rust free in perfect condition it's my baby and will never sell it
I have AE-82 but with 2A engine 😥
4AGZE.
Calls insurance company.
Operator: Does your car have any modifications?
MCM: Ooooooooooooh yeah. I'll wait while you grab a coffee and your lunch. We may be here some time.

*love that the video length is “**26:26**”*
Backwerds strangely satisfying
Rb26? 😎😉
Was just about to comment the same thing😂
Little flip-up needs a magnet on the top to hold it open while you are using it aswell!
This is exactly what I was going to say. Either put a magnet to hold it up or a spring. Holding that flap up to do anything with the stereo while driving would get old really fast.
It does has a magnet up top however I got the opening angle wrong and it hits the dash before the magnet engages, oh well next version!
Still pretty awesome!
I would have made it to open down instead of up
The Trapezoid shape makes it clip the outside edges of the dash, Also makes it hard to press the buttons with the hinge on the lower side
Can you post the model file for the speaker mount?? Honestly I'd would love to use them when restoring a Datsun. I'm sure plenty of others would too!
Edit: and the head unit cover. It looks really slick.
Matthew posted about that in the last video
Well here is the interest they asked for! If they went open source it would be perfect since anyone could have it 3d printed anytime. If they do plan on selling it then I'd like to know where.
I always thought I would like to move to Australia, but after watching and listening to all the laws, taxes and BS you have gone through with this build I don't think so. I thought there couldn't be anyplace worse than California for rules and regs, but guess not.
I am curious, what was the final cost of getting the car registered and insured, I bet a bunch.
I sure hope the 240 is everything you hoped it would be, it surely has cost a ton of time and dollars.
Master of nuggets explained … master of puppets was a Metallica album. Ok Metallica is an American rock band that started in 1981. Master of puppets is their 3rd album released in 1986. Hope that helps.
Magic disappearing reappearing video.
5:25 that subi motor in the back just chillin 🔥
13:40 Master of nuggets, chicken 'n' shrimp... twists in your mouth, fastens your dreams XD
2:04 Half life 3 confirmed!!
Best episode in ages, the dramatic tension was palpable. I’m frothing to see it on the road, even just 8 seconds of it, that’s about how long it takes....
Just get it registered and put the spacers in
Fog and then get pulled over and fined and defected
I wonder how that would go, it's not like police could tell. Maybe they could notice the thicker spacers if they were really getting in there with a torch.
danehb89 which is what most do
heaps of people still run spacers, cops only defect you like that if you have a shit attitude or if theyre really hungry for that quota
Weld the spacer to the wheels. Lol
Give her the beans.
Presumably the 70's wheel would be the minilite. Still made by gkn - wonder if they could help?
Minilite Wheels were the original rims watanabe "copied" ...
This is why i love the US. i V8 swapped a 4cyl Foxbody and paid hella cheap insurance. Did the same with a v6 Firebird, and swapped turbo and awd in an Eclipse. All they do here is check that the VIN on the title matches the VIN on the dash. Built not bought ftw!
Keegan Johnson problem is then if you wreck it they also won't pay for the mods, they will only pay for that cheap 4cyl. Unless your only keeping liability anyway then it doesn't matter.
Jay Dunbar and then i pull the engine and trans and use the 500 bucks to cover most of another roller 😉
If you dont insure what you actually have you wont get paid for what you actually have.
A lot of your problems in life are brought upon by yourself.
Except that in case of an accident, the insurance won't pay. Here you could swap any engine in anything even tho it's highly illegal, but people at the inspection stuff are so dumb they wouldn't notice that an ls doesn't belong in a miata. But after a crash, you're fucked, they won't pay and you might get kicked out of your insurance.
Congrats. Yeah, black sharpies turn blue very soon.
That's my local RTA/RMS/Service NSW. Pretty sure at least one Cheryl works there!
As an Aussie car guy, I’m glad of the rules and regulations. I’ve seen the bodgy crap on the roads elsewhere. You can keep that stuff well away from my cars.
All this and still not being driven in the video? Man c’mon let’s do this!
But we will get a 30 minute video of this driving around next week, instead of just a few minutes at the end of this video
Boggesh Zahim I guess I am impatient to see it driven. You are right the next video will be awesome 😎
Moog's "Master of Nuggets" had me giggling
What about welding a "spacer" onto those rims so that it's a full-on structural-physical connection?
Marty: Are range rovers cool?
Moog: I think they’re capable...
Marty: What’s that smell?
Moog: That’s the Range Rover driver
We all know Moogs opinion on Range Rovers 😂😂😂
Marty has the perfect eyebrows in the world
moog's got a restomodded classic nissan, now marty just needs a restomodded subaru. Brumby build?
Captain Zoll wrx swapped brat
Saw you in a speirs comment section
I see half of a subie engine on the engine stand is super gramps broke?
Forg0tin gramps has a 6cyl...
Missing two cylinders.
Maybe it's out of moogs wrx
Mad 2Sexy engine swap.
catfish552 yes they should put a 4g63 engine in 2sexy, As these engines are capable and reliable, plus with a good exhaust setup it sounds rather meaty.
As a German this all seems fairly standard to me. For some reason the people doing the legal stuff try to throw as many stones as they can right in front of your feet (or was it wheels? :D) or they just outright forbid the use of your vehicle on public streets. The import rules might be a little softer though, I never checked.
your rules are not as bad as the uk for motorcycle licenses
we have to retake the same tests 3 times to get a unrestricted licence
Guys move to Florida, no regulations whatsoever
I second this, all you need is title, registration, license, and a plate.
My state, Missouri, in our county, a car has to pass a basic safety inspection, plus have at least liability insurance and property taxes paid to license a car. In Iowa, our next state up, NO safety inspection is required, as long as it has four wheels and a engine, they are like, sure! We'll get you plates in a jiffy! I worked in a garage as a tech, and some of the cars I saw come in, well, let's just say I have seen better and safer cars in the junk yard.
And that's why we have strict safety laws in Australia. Sure, it might be easier to get an absolute piece of shit registered in other parts of the world, but do you really want to be doing 100 down the high way with one of those next to you? The people who call our laws bullshit wouldn't say the same if a wreck killed one of their family members because the car shouldn't have been on the road.
the pluses and minuses of a country that's actually car literate eh, up here in canada there's some nuggets I've seen on the highway that have made my freaking skin crawl.
Can you 1j Swap a Train so it goes Choo Choo???
Quite the wing on the GT86 at 18:00!
right, full on supra lookin wing. cool beans.
Was looking thru the comment section someone deff caught that . Looked almost like a Supra wing for a second !
it is a supra if you cut the front end off replace with a supra front end and never let people see the rear or interior
That's the TRD wing I'm pretty sure, see them on 50% of 86s here in Aus
Yeah looks like the TRD Aero package wing
marty secretly geeking at the brz with the sti spoiler made the car ride worth it XD
Why don't you just use the wheels that are on it now to get it registered and after its legal put the wheels that came on it from Japan with the spacers. I doubt cops will pull you over to check for spacers. Or am I wrong about that?
The problem with that is that if they get in an accident the insurance company can rightfully deny coverage because the car is illegally modified.
That and hundreds of thousands of people will know it's running spacers, not a wise thing to do when MCM is one of TH-cams biggest motoring channels
Goonzsquad might be caching up lol
NathanSGuitar94 that makes sense.
Man that was a long process but it seems like an easier process than trying to import a car into the U.S.
And the only reason thats a thing is because a bunch of lawyers and lobbiests and politicians. "Free market capitalism" right?
It is easy to bring 25+ year old cars into the US. takes minimal effort. 24- years is a very different story
LOL, typical bureaucratic nonsense - the older and therefore more dangerous a car is, the easier it is to import - because reasons.
Matthew Sharpe you do know it’s because it’s considered a collection piece at that point, right?
Did you catch the part where the engine and brakes had to be removed? .Au is no picnic either.
What if you welded the spacers onto the wheel? Therefore making them into the wheel
the load on the bearings would still be wrong. add the risk of breaking the studs, the fact that insurance WILL say fuck off if they see them on your wreck... i'd say get a proper offset, or custom, one piece extended floating brake rotors.
That's actually not a bad idea at all. The welds wouldn't be structural but technically they wouldn't be spacers any more. As far as I know modifying your wheels is allowed.
Ireland has pretty strict laws on modifications but not as bad as Australia. I absolutely loved the video. So fun to watch
I can't wait to see the first drive video. Awesome guys. Well worth it in the end in my opinion at least. Keep up the absolutely incredible work and we will keep on following!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
2mm just machine the calipers ever so slightly
Mr. VW O' Day , or bond a 2mm spacer to the wheels and machine it lightly.
no. for both of you. if the caliper cracks/rim splits/lugs break, the car is gone.
Côme Thiburs when have you ever cracked a caliper?
I've used a grinder on calipers for wheel clearance. Never had a problem.
2mm is nothing. Would not affect the caliper integrity at all
Why don't you buy a Mazda 3?
gotta be a Mazda 323 astina and not just a mazda 3
Mps
Or an RX3
Sp25+T
Or 3 Mazdas. D'oh, that's 4. Is there a Mazda 4 yet? WAITING.
8:42. Minilites were the originals.
I just can't believe how you were able to get a old car registered for the road with that much custom work. You guys have done such a good job with it and it is a awesome looking little car. It really goes to show "who" you know to be able to do it all. This car must be a dream come true.
Martys Mira sounds amazing btw.
MetallicA writing a new awesome album n getting jdm cars road worthy in australia, its impossible! sad but true! :P
Lars suing people because their cars look like his
im surprised mcm have gotten away with wearing metallica tops over the years lol
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more for the car
Forever trust in GT-R
And nothing else matters. 😎
Used to be any LHD car had to be converted to RHD period. Now that adds up! Been told things have changed in that point now.
Half-life speakers
8:43 yeah, they look exactly like a Minilight 10 inchers for the Mini :D Talk about gokart sized wheels!
Why repost?
Art Vandelay mad shady
slim shady
What if Steven hawking was the real slim Shady but couldn't stand up?
Yeah I was 11 minutes in..
It was the illuminati
Why is it such a ball ache registering cars in America and Australia?!
I'll never complain about cars in the uk ever again!
We got it easy!
America is only like half as bad as the UK when it comes to registering cars though. In states like florida anything with 4 wheels can be registered. Im hoping more states take that approach, cause seriously, fuck red tape
Here you basically cannot mod a car at all..only small stuff like wheels and tires and bodykits..if you increase power then it becomes a true pain
Jan Andersson Damn Jan.. Here sounds like a terrible place for car enthusiasts.
Parts of America are ridiculously lax. I drive my spec miata race car on the street sometimes, insured and registered as a stock miata lol it has a full cage, straight pipe, harnesses, fire system, etc
Tbf we dont have it that easy really, insurance is a PITA.
Defender is cool. RangeRover not so
This car is amazing. Love it. Thanks for the content it was a great watch. I am struggling to understand how you got this car registered though.
Your aftermarket ECU alone would make this car illegal to drive on the road. Did you get the vehicle emissions tested and certified? I ran a series 3 rx7 running a 400bhp. My car was engineered, but my mods made it illegal to drive on the road. Whats your secret?
Hi from the UK, hope you don't mind this kind of comment but I just wanted to tell you guys that me and my dad watched the 11 second car build together while he was in the hospital, sadly he passed away at the end of April. He really enjoyed your channel and you made him laugh up until the end, I thank you both so much for that. Keep doing what you do best and know you made an old man happy. Thanks guys I'm a big fan.
Here in Switzerland I'm not surprised about the amount of thing you have to do to get it on the road, I'm surprised you can actually get it on the road.
Your countries laws suck also
Guss De Blöd try making something road legal by California standards, just adding a cold air intake in a normal car makes it not road legal
Also in Italy, almost any modification that has to do with any mechanical or structural component is not allowed, and no kind of inspection can make it legal.
This is the best 240 260 280 z datsun nissan on youtube, but you guys should check out the full carbon build that Street Bandito is making
Karston Voth it’s a toss up between the two.
Almost wound up in the sanitarium trying to register the thing that should not be.
Ooo. I see what you did there. 🤘🎸 reference
Nice one.
Unfortunately his hat didnt fade to black
I'd reckon that One problem kept him from getting it registered. Seemed like The Day That Never Comes. Oh well, at least The Memory Remains.
Y'all need to move to Texas, you would have so much more fun.
Man these behind the scenes videos are awesome. It's nice to break away from the mold and see a different style from you guys.
Here for a second times
Australian Diplomacy. AKA one of the worst in the modern world.
Ben Ward Well at least it is possible to get a car like that street legal. No possible way to do that in Germany
Ben Ward really? Come in Romania where if u put a sticker on the car you get a fine.
Stefan Vintila yeh Romania isnt the modern world.
The process to get a car rego'd in Australia is austounding to go through. In Canada you can just import a car, basically get the tires aligned and assuming everything is in working order get a safety, then after that is done you could literally swap a ferrari engine in, put 1 foot wheel spacers on it and never have to get it checked ever again unless it was in an accident.
Depending on the state I guess. Places like Cali are usually pretty shit to import a car to.
Yeah to get it registered in New South Wales your car needs to be inspected to get a blue slip (piece of paper saying it is safe and Roadworthy), then you need to pay for compulsory third party insurance (compensates people who are injured or killed by your vehicle) and then you line up for hours at the RMS to pay for rego. It's super expensive too (can be up to $1000 AUD)
aint that bad. registering in belgium/france goes from 2 to 5K depending on how modified the car is. they can even ask for road tests.
The rules do vary across Australia, for example where I live has yearly inspections no matter what.
Congratulations MCM! Can't wait to see the next video and hopefully there will be skids 🤣
15:29 Moog : "Do you guys insure Gemini's or does no one own them anymore? Marty's keen for one, he reckons that he can get a Gemini that's gonna beat my Fairlady here."
That was pretty much foreshadowing to next year when the guys going to mod a Gemini.
It's not "Mighty Car Restoration"....
Please. Make a "short" vid for mctv2 where you read the list of engineered mods. Make it nice and dull.
Well done lads, it's been a long time coming but well worth the wait!
Thanks for letting us all be part of your journey.
