Can we just appreciate this mans ability to run through a price list live for this episode, in front of the wife holding the camera? 🔥🔥 B is for Broke lol
I'd love to see a statistical breakdown of the car. Take it to the dyno, get hp and torque. Take it to a track and get 0-60 times. Weigh it, etc. I'm also super curious about how the performance stacks up against a regular M5. It'll be especially interesting because the weight difference, but also weight distribution. I've loved following this build but I want so much more info on the finished car because it's so unique.
@@Janulo8524 Also you wouldn't dice a pedestrian if you hit one. I'm pretty sure whatever Oregon exemption law there is on racecars, every car on the road should comply with some basic safety requiremnts. And that would include having your engine covered!?
This is definitely my favourite build I have ever watched and in general. The S85 just makes this build x100 more amazing. Congrats man, I look forward to seeing more builds and more from this Z in the future!
@@QuasiDude too funny indeed like i need you too tell me about vehicle maintenance if ive been in the automotive industry for a long time so what is your point? . Says the guy that i bet has never done a oil change on their own vehicle nor knows how too. Shut up troll
You should consider installing back the weather strips to the doors and trunk to eliminate the smoke + to stop the water dripping on the messy wiring from the back.
I was one of the sceptics when you started the build Chris, but you've fucking done it, and it's a credit to you, and the other guys who gave you a hand. I hope we'll see it semi regularly on your channel, especially once summer roles around for you guys again. Can't wait to see what the next build is going to be.
@@Dracuz123 I know. But if someone has bad enough taste to pay money to make it like that there's probably someone out there that has bad enough taste to buy seats like that.
This is the first video I have watched on your channel and I can already appreciate that you ACTUALLY share how much car building shenanigans cost. not a lot of channels like to share that because they are afraid of losing people because of the money they would lose along with it. Kudos to you.
I'm happy to hear you say speed scares you. People who want to keep rushing into it are usually the problem. And if speed in a car on a highway doesn't heighten your senses, it could also lead to high-speed problems. A local car dealer had a Targa racer and this look is one of my favorites, also going back to slot-car days. That's a really nice colour.
just picked up a decal to add to my collection on my FiST. thanks for all the motivation since you started this channel. i am taking a break for awhile from modifying cars but i suspect that wont last long. everytime i think about how insane a project would be i remember this build...and it gives me hope!
This entire build is so impressive. You should open your own custom shop and take on projects for customers. Kind of like west coast customs but make tasteful projects! I saw this at SEMa and I was blown away. Also ran into Rob Dam and his Gf and EddieX too lol
Great story and i like the straight up talk about the cost bc people tend to make a low ball offer all the time, so this time they will know the value, the effort, the sweat and labor going into this car!!
I wish I had kept better track of what I actually spent building my CRX. I did everything myself with the exception of paying a buddy $100 for his time to help me on paint day, and the alignment I got afterwards. Will have a little sneak peak of my CRX on my new channel soon! Mine isn't nearly as much as yours, but mine is also pretty mild compared to this beast. Well done sir!
That car is amazing. I watched the final episode and then came back and watched the previous two. The amount of work that went into this...I didn't think it would be worth it. But seeing and hearing it drive...it's the most beautiful thing ever.
Would be interested to hear about the $50k stacked up against the income from all the videos. Was this car actually worth your while in terms of making a living?
You can get a ball park figure from adding up the views against an average cpm I haven't done the maths but I'm sure this is probably the most successful build on the show to date in terms of return on investment
I just did the maths Chris has made 96 videos on the 240 each one ranging from 100k views to 500k views at a cpm of 2 USD that's somewhere between 48K USD and 96k USD But I between the 240 videos we got the gambler videos and some others and most of them received over 200k views so I'd say he's probably good but just

hi Chris this is Chris here from south africa. i have been following you for some time now must say was nailed to my seat since the start of the build of the Datsun 240z. in my country with that price i can buy a new range rover lol. in our currency that 240z cost 709 654 ZAR. Love your channel keep up the awesome build.
for me it would the cherry on top if it had a hood and a grill. But it looks great non the less though. i'm glad about the end results for your work on it
Yes , very nice ride. My friends dad bought two Datsun 240 in 1994 in really good shape and stored them and he still has them to this day. They are mint.i like the color it looks alright for light blue. Thanks for video. 👍🇨🇦
it baffles my mind to think that people actually called the cops on you guys. Who even has the audacity to call the cops about something so minuscule when there are actual problems law enforcement should be dealing with. I just picture the "can I speak to your manager" lady with the short blond died hair, yoga pants, and running shoes angrily looking out her window and yelling over the phone.
You'd be surprised. I parked in a Lowes lot after they closed under the lights just to get a few shots of a car with a new fiberglass lip and the cops were there before I even had the tri-pod up. Zero noise, zero speeding, zero anything illegal.
@@kj_ptr4032 Doubt it would happen today but I was doing skids in an empty parking lot (lose control, recover, lose control, recover) and someone called the cops. They closed off the lot and let me practice for another 30 min and told me to go home. Sometimes cops can be awesome. If your watching thanks guys.
To be fair he did say that he was ripping it at triple digits... That would have been so loud. Depending on where he was I would have called the cops too.
If someone was hooning up and down my road in a car with a V10 and no mufflers I'd call the cops too. And I love cars, and motorbikes, but a public road is not the place to do that. Have you ever seen videos of dumb cunts losing control of fast cars, because they can't drive for shit? Not everyone can drive well and how are you to know the person hooning up and down your road knows how to handle a car?
Brian k all the parts came from Adafruit probably less than $100 is parts plus the tint. Main expense of the taillights is labor if you pay someone to make them.
Different strokes for different folks. I like to see cars restored to original condition. You did a great job to get what you wanted. Good luck and drive safe.
Really late reply but googling leads me to assume he is referring to either ORS 803.305 (4) "A vehicle is exempt from registration if it is not operated on the highways of this state. " or ORS 803.305 (25) "A racing activity vehicle that is being operated for the purposes of a test drive within a 30-mile radius of the location where the vehicle is manufactured is exempt from registration."
He’s not a registered or recognized manufacturer, neither of those statutes would fly. That car needs a license plate which costs ~$50 per year here in OR.
Hey man just wanted to say I'm a big fan of what your doing here. coincidentally I too am a huge fan of BMW specifically the s85 engine, and the datsun 240z honestly is the only Japanese car I would dream to own simply because its a absolutely beautifully timeless design so when I came across your channel i knew I would be a life long supporter. only thing I would of done differently would be a manual transmission. If you ever do another project with the s85 I would like to see it transplanted into a e46 M3 because I plan to build that one day and I would love to watch someone with your expertise.
Lol By the time my car was at the stage of being a bare shell I already had spent 7k on it. It left me wondering, 1) How the fuck did I spend so much and have so little to show for it. 2) How the fuck did my 1k budget manage to turn into a 12k budget. Cars can break your heart and your wallet.
That Rocket Bunny kit insanely overpriced. You could have an engineer make you a design in CAD, print foam molds and have a carbon fiber shop make them for you for far less than $4100. JESUS
No you couldn't . And all that time wasted messing around with things could be used on the build when your time is worth more spend on other things 4100 a legit kit isn't much as compared to the headaches you're going to have and money Time and labor wasted with the replica or something you tried doing yourself..
GixxerDad 600 If you really think that $4100 for a body kit is a reasonable price then you must like to watch money burn. I completely understand how much R+D goes into a body kit but $4100 for the rocket bunny kit that fits horribly is absolutely embarrassing. They should have refunded the money
How much do you guys think carbon fiber costs? Its actually insanely easy to do if you've done it a few times. Its very similar to fiber glass, actually nearly identical, even in cost. But even still, we are talking molded plastic. There's probably not more then $20 in plastic. At $4k a kit, they probably turned a profit on the cost set sold and all the rest is just money in the bank. A custom polyurethane body kit costs less then $1k new, and its much more expensive material wise and much harder to work with and build. I have no idea why anyone would buy rocket bunny, other then bragging rights.
PLEASE!!! Do a 3 min CINEMATIC video of the Z!!! That would be the Cherry on top of the Cherry on the cake! hahaha Awesome build, thanks for sharing your passion!
I know its a little late of a reply, but i did some digging and this is what i found. Section 25 of ORS 803.305 "A racing activity vehicle that is being operated for the purposes of a test drive within a 30-mile radius of the location where the vehicle is manufactured is exempt from registration."
I IMMEDIATELY subscribed when he said that the cops were cool and they believed his no registration, registration law and wasn't speeding *Shows clip of ripping it down the street* *SUBBED*
What a beauty of a build! So totally cool! If it were up to me, which obviously it isn't, I would have chosen to use a Nissan powertrain...370zx or GT-R...but the Mercedes choice was still really cool! The use of the Mercedes dash was really great too! I realize you wanted a race car, but imagine the possibilities of updating the whole interior to match that killer Mercedes dashboard... Outside, retro 240z...inside pimpin' like a badass Mercedes with all the performance expected of the Mercedes. Fkn KILLER!
Mad respect for making this video, not everyone likes to talk money but it's great you did, really helps us to get real idea of just how much bank some build require, 💯💯💯
You're a brave man discussing the cost of this car in front of Chelsea
I doubt she didn't already know. But, yeah, I know what you mean.

My thoughts exactly. I love the builds, but we never get to see them driven.I'd also love a garage update.
During those tests, he should run it against Chelseas Stock M5 to see the difference
yesssss
At approximately half the weight of an m5 it’d be a mid 3 second 0-60 car.
@@TheMultiDouche 3 second 0-60 is supercar-level. I think that's an ambitious claim. But nothing's impossible.

Exactly, I was thinking during the build, cost so much and doesn't even fit properly.
6:43 the squirrel is a fan. Unfortunately nothing was mentioned about the fancy rear lights.
Can someone provide a reference for the "no registration registration law"?
I know its a little late of a reply, but i did some digging and this is what i found. Section 25 of ORS 803.305 "A racing activity vehicle that is being operated for the purposes of a test drive within a 30-mile radius of the location where the vehicle is manufactured is exempt from registration."

@@sterlingnevatte3997 There you go :) Thanks mate! :)
I IMMEDIATELY subscribed when he said that the cops were cool and they believed his no registration, registration law and wasn't speeding *Shows clip of ripping it down the street*
*SUBBED*
Next build is a Murcielago confirmed
Is it tho? ;)
I think it's a Porsche RWB, because of those wheels. He showed when they went to sema.
What a beauty of a build! So totally cool! If it were up to me, which obviously it isn't, I would have chosen to use a Nissan powertrain...370zx or GT-R...but the Mercedes choice was still really cool! The use of the Mercedes dash was really great too! I realize you wanted a race car, but imagine the possibilities of updating the whole interior to match that killer Mercedes dashboard... Outside, retro 240z...inside pimpin' like a badass Mercedes with all the performance expected of the Mercedes. Fkn KILLER!
Hey! From France!
Dommage qu'on puisse pas faire ça en France :(
@@thibounet801 grave mec !!! La tristesse 😭😭
Moi qui croyais être le seul français à le regarder
@@tracgarage387 on ait partout 😂
C'est quand même une belle voiture construit de ses mains
Finally a price breakdown build video. Great idea! Thats one badass ride. Really like the hood off to show the insanity you have in there lol.
did he leaked the next build with autotempest ?
Michael Petratos I was thinking the same thing.
@@abfilio1 same that would be sic if it's a lambo
he did say it was a supercar
George Bowyer he did say the next build is a super car🤔
I believe so, just about to say the same thing. He has done something similar in the past.
Mad respect for making this video, not everyone likes to talk money but it's great you did, really helps us to get real idea of just how much bank some build require, 💯💯💯
65k $ shipped to Saudi Arabia. Think about it.
Really not bad for a race car! Nice work Chris!
Now we neeed a hood 😂
Awesome build. It is unique...and worth every dollar you put into it. Well done.
Am I the only one that noticed what car he was looking at during the AutoTempest advertisement? #LamboTime
Or he's baiting us with a red herring.
Looks nice. I'm not a BMW fan, but 500hp in 5.0 is nice. I prefer domestic for builds, but this one's nice.
you smell exhaust because I didn't see a rear hatch seal.. common complaint for Z owners (like myself)
I’ve sooo always wanted a 240Z… Can still always Dream 💭
How much did the guy in the Supra offer for it??
That Subaru Supra guy?
beautiful car I dont know how I stumbled on your channel but I enjoyed watching
still cheaper than MCM's 2wistd
Broooo! That’s a nice Z! I have a 280z that rust free waiting for me to finish it! You’re is amazing tho! Subscribed
Squirrel at 6:42
Thank you for sharing! Really helpful having pricing references
You’re missing something important on the front my dude
Yea plates lol
Yea the damn hood
Great job Chris, keep up the good work !!
How many people really have $50 000 to sink into an old car. Not many at all. I see an overpriced pipe dream sitting there
you could just Ls swap it or throw a 2jz at it , both way cheaper than this and could be faster
@@brandonknight7240 yeah but coat vs performance is gonna be way different
I had a 280ZX back in the day but this one is incredible.
