Nolan is starting to hold himself like a tradesman! Confidence, dexterity, body positioning, troubleshooting, overall attitude. Really awesome. Biggest transformation of the series tbh
I’m glad to see Nolan in a better head space. HiLow has been rough on him in previous seasons. Most people don’t know this, but Nolan is actually 16, he just looks 30 because of the stress of building on a budget.
So happy to see that Low car is coming together nicely! It doesn’t look as good (appearance wise) but I think at this point it would be more fun to take to the track in my opinion.
I agree with you. They are using an iron block from a truck and producing a good power level. If they had spent a little more with a wrecked Camaro Engine, even with that would be way cheaper than a new ls3 525 engine and the Tremec transmission.
Sounds amazing too, the custom exhaust on hi car doesn't sound half as good. Plus lo car laying down mo powah, and it didn't get all twisted up in a crash. Lo car would definitely be my choice! Edit: And now lo car also has the best e-brake lol.
Props to Nolan for holding his own! As a non-professional driver, he's been doing a great job doing all his own runs, as well as the work behind the machine. Justin too, love his positive and upbeat vibes and general enjoyment to just be involved! You guys rock
This show has taught me the ultimate big brain move is to go high on some parts and low on others because some stuff is unnecessary and other stuff is just dumb not to get for the little bit of extra money. With that said though, even some of the entire kits could be mixed and matched to make it cheaper in some ways and more reliable in others. Love the show and builds
All Lo car needed was GKtech angle kit with BC racing coilovers and adjustable voodoo13 rear kit and would have the exact same feel as Hi car and still be half the price lol
There is nothing wrong with budget shopping on certain parts. I've got a lot of higher end parts for my engine build, but there are even higher parts out there. My build should be able to support north of 1000hp if I would ever want to take it that far, but then there are other parts when I shopped around to get the best deal I could because price didn't make a difference on what I was getting.
tbh this series kind of is a successor to money pit, similar concept just with a larger scale (both in doing two projects and having more people involved), but yeah it would be cool to see some more solo zach content
@@dovahsam7804 Zach did mention during Money Pit that the series was also a sort of middle point in terms of prices compared to hi-low, which is also a great thing! :D Both series are amazing ^^
I'm going to keep saying it: Props to whoever is buying LoCar parts this season! These are waaaay more reasonable "budget" parts than the whatever-unlabeled-Chinese-stuff-we-can-find-on-eBay parts from last season. LoCar should be "budget", but not "broke" and HiCar should be "no expense spared", and I think you all nailed it this season.
It's cool to see that most of the lo-car changes this season were actually "better" than hi-car's changes, whereas season 1 it was mostly hi-car's changes giving the best improvements.
@Brenton I also think that the slight improvements with ridiculously expensive parts is only valuable to drivers that need to shave milliseconds of times.
Its a really good example of why sometimes going for the higher end parts just means you get more adjustability instead of more fun. You can get to 90% of the high end pretty easy, but that last 10% is expensive, time consuming, and has more issues to solve. Like Hi-Car having 4x the volume in the caliper pistons on a manual hydraulic brake. They should have went with one or two piston Wilwoods in the same color or they would have to upgrade the master cylinder for the hand brake to something with more volume.
its mainly because they're just throwing money at it senselessly without putting much thought. If you wanted a real high / low budget comparison you'd just write a check to a race shop and have them sort your shit out. Wouldn't make for fun content though.
This time they're not using shit tier lo car parts, they're more mid range, and generally that's the best place for price and performance. Expensive gets you fancy, but if you can't use the fanciness, then it's spending for no purpose. The enhanced turning cycle didn't improve performance, nor did the higher quality calipers, and the usable power band is superior in lo car too, since drifting doesn't need higher speeds. Lo car is more fit for purpose, and a better price.
@@hypnotoad2999 It's good practice to always trailer your racecar/bike to the track. That way if something goes wrong you aren't completely stranded far from home. Driving your own driftcar hours to the track not only puts unnecessary wear and tear on the car, but now you likely don't have replacement parts or tools.
@@hypnotoad2999 I get what you're saying, but there's still a chance both hi and low car are still in compliance to remain road cars. We don't know if they'd pass smog/etc. Or not.... Or at least I don't 🤷♂️

kind of wished they'd take turns in each others car, whether they could feel the difference in suspension. Would've been interesting to see if hi-car preferred the cheaper handbrake and vise versa
Nolan and locar are like the guys that show up in mullets and are out for a good time. James and hicar are like the ones that have to constantly tinker because they can't comprehend that the good ol boys are hanging with or even surpassing them. Love this series!
I hope they make like, a conclusion/aftermath episode, where they talk about stuff like, what's the upgrade they felt made the biggest difference, or what parts are the ones you should definitely not buy the cheapest of, or the opposite, which ones you should definitely splurge on, stuff like that.
HI everyone at donut, I've been a fan of the hi-low series for quite some time now and would love to say what an amazing job you guys are doing, from everyone on set and even the behind the scenes. Keep up the good work 👍
I want high low Z season 3 bb! They were givin it the beans and pullin the brakes. The entire crew that works on this is awesome but Nolan's child like enthusiasm makes me smile every time, I really believe he probably spent the rest of the day drifting around that horse shoe.

Ok I love this channel. So much. I know y'all have touched so many car enthusiasts from all age ranges and walks of life. Seriously thank yall for the content, the whole team.
Hi car might have some air somewhere in the lines, it shouldn’t be that much of a movement reguardless of how many pistons are there because it should just take more fluid into the lines and sitting in the calipers. All it should take is displacing an ounce or two of fluid to get them fully engaged because they move such a small distance, that or you need a bigger reservoir.
The car is slow and needs an oil change after 5 miles. Cracked headgasket. What 250hp? Lmao they need brakes to go faster on a flat course? Shit stinks💩
But like, how is $800 “low”? I’ve spent under $200 on my in-line hydro handbrake kit and it works great for me. Wouldn’t going in-line vs dual-caliper be a better comparison?
Glad I'm not the only one to say something about that.... $800 is getting into the pricey territory for a hydro and plenty of setups can be had for under $500.
I really hope there’s another season of high low. They’ve done off-road trucks and drift Z’s so I hope they do something with auto cross or drag racing

Really cool to see a real world example of how more pistons doesn't = more better for brakes. A lot of high performance cars come from the factory with single piston brakes that do tremendously well.
I haven’t watched this yet but I’m really interested in seeing the quality difference between these two products. Believe it or not guys you are doing a great service for many car enthusiasts around the world. Those damn Z owners are lucky man. If y’all ever thinking about buying an 07 TSX to mod I’m all in😂
This has nothing to do with the video but I'm just thinking about how much filming you guys have to coordinate and do and the work that goes into producing this great content and I just want to say THANK YOU! 😍
All these videos is like my happy place I’m training to be a mechanic And I wanna move out to Cali to work on cars and you guys are the reason that I wanna work on cars and I just appreciate everything you do for me
I don't know what goes on behind the scenes but I love you guys for making the effort to get along with each other long enough to make this great show you are all a part of. Good work. I think those of you in the struggle did amazingly well. Great work! Excellent!
Ideally, they could have gone back to the garage and worked out some issues with the Hi Car e-brake before trying again. It seems like there's some definite tuning/cable replacement needed on that car.
I'm not an expert, but to me it looks like high car got their maths wrong & didn't correctly match their master cylinder to their calipers & it's either not moving enough fluid, or the cylinder ratios aren't sufficiently multiplying the applied force from the master cylinder.
@@Perfectly_Other if thats the case it would have more leverage, but should always be easyer to lock the wheel. The problem its probably air in the system, it should be bleed again.
Love Hi/Low. I REALLY loved when you guys did the Tacos, I like the 4WD side of vehicles these days way more than cars and street racers now that I've gotten older
I think the next idea should be hi lo with lowriders I loved the episode they did on past gas about them and there is so much you could do with it, like paint job, interiors, sound system, wheels, hydraulics, suspension and then for the finally they could go face to face in a hop off submitting into a lowrider show or get an actual club to judge their cars without telling them who spent more
LOVE THIS SERIES! You guys are great hosts! I love seeing the development! Also, when he needed two arms for the brake on high-car, I was like "that sucks!" You guys are awesome. Can't wait for the next episode! Cheers!
So an honest observation/question In the last few episodes James seems to be off. I dont know if he's not feeling well or is not as excited to do the episodes anymore. Like Nolan, Justin, Jobe rest of crew all seem excited to be filming and doing things. James seems to be reading a script or just annoyed to be there. The way he holds his body, The way he looks at the camera, his mannerisms all seem to be different then when he first started Donut, or even as a few months ago. I really enjoy this show and hope he's ok with his heart/medical situation, also hope he still enjoys doing his job
Can you do a "this is where things stand currently" video. I love donut. It's so great seeing Nolan go from james' son to an man of his own, has be an amazing experience.
30k or best offer after putting 50k into it 🤣. But honestly we don't put money into cars to raise the value we do it just to have more fun so loosing some money is well worth it.
Would love to see a short video reevaluating the limited slip diff vs the welded diff with respect to drifting, because it definitely does make a difference
"Just keep pushing and eventually it'll go." "See how I do that with my hand all wonky just to give you the shot?" "If only we didn't need to bleed." "Really had to yank on it to get it out." That's what -she- Jobe said.
14:58 the explanation is incorrect. It's implying that the force being spread out over a wider area somehow means there's less force acting on the rotor. In a closed system, P1 (the pressure in the master cylinder) = P2 (pressure acting on 1st cylinder in caliper) = P3 (pressure acting on the 2nd cylinder in caliper); F1/A1 = F2/A2 = F3/A3; F1*A2/A1 = F2; F1*A3/A1 = F3 Assuming the pressure being generated at the master cylinder is the same between the two cars, and that each Wilwood piston is the same surface area as the stock caliper, then the Wilwood would be generating more force on the rotors because of its larger surface area contacting the rotor. An issue with the setup is the effective moment arm acting on the rod from the Sikky lever. Looking at where the rod attaches to the lever, it is evident that the force translated through the lever into the rod will be at an angle offset from the rod axis. It looks like there is about 30 degrees of displacement before the force vector acts in line with the axis. By that point your arm is already in the seat
So, the fix is in the handle geometry. Perhaps the connecting rod could be shortened just a little bit or the anchor point adjusted to put more force and sooner on the other side of the pivot point

Went from "my son Nolan" to a legit character of the show. Nolan and the Jobe twins are what I'm here for since we can't get anymore up to speeds.

Believe it or not guys you are doing a great service for many car enthusiasts around the world. Those damn Z owners are lucky man. If y’all ever thinking about buying an 07 TSX to mod I’m all in😂
This has nothing to do with the video but I'm just thinking about how much filming you guys have to coordinate and do and the work that goes into producing this great content and I just want to say THANK YOU! 😍
All these videos is like my happy place I’m training to be a mechanic And I wanna move out to Cali to work on cars and you guys are the reason that I wanna work on cars and I just appreciate everything you do for me
Justin's more confident while working on cars! I was a bit critical with him in his other hosting parts but I really liked how he hosted in this one!
He's relatively new. He's just gotta get comfortable. :)
Zach is just absolutely carrying hi-team and Donut itself. Mah boi is doin EVERYTHING lmao
yeah cuz aaron just disappeared
1:20 ah yes, the standard drum disc design.
I would love to see a Hi/Low series with two oldtimers, it would have lots of potential in my opinion at least
maybe some volvos :)
@@berg_ volvo 240 yes
@@berg_ no they’re obviously gonna use the Ford Model T lol
You guys have helped me get through some hard times. Thank you for all that you do 🙌
Glad you’re better bro
@@jhonnysrivera2002 Thank you Brother
Tough brake. Hope you slide through it. If you need a big handle to break your brakes, you suck at life.
I don't know what goes on behind the scenes but I love you guys for making the effort to get along with each other long enough to make this great show you are all a part of. Good work. I think those of you in the struggle did amazingly well. Great work! Excellent!
2:37 "pressurises brake fuel" - nice lol
Love the series 🔥 would be cool to see a (HIGH/LOW ) DRAG BUILDS
Same thoughts! That would be 🔥
Slow car vs slow car.
14:53 basic hydraulics knowledge: diamter, stroke, force...
13:23 Whoever transports these Z's didn't learn from last episode and again, strapped them down by the wheels on the trailer.
Ideally, they could have gone back to the garage and worked out some issues with the Hi Car e-brake before trying again. It seems like there's some definite tuning/cable replacement needed on that car.
I'm not an expert, but to me it looks like high car got their maths wrong & didn't correctly match their master cylinder to their calipers & it's either not moving enough fluid, or the cylinder ratios aren't sufficiently multiplying the applied force from the master cylinder.
@@Perfectly_Other if thats the case it would have more leverage, but should always be easyer to lock the wheel.
The problem its probably air in the system, it should be bleed again.
@@PedroCosta-gv6jn nah the calipers too big for the master cylinder as the guy above said the master isn't moving enough fluid for that big caliper.
@@mktrollop1093 if that was the case the wheels wouldnt lock at all, no matter the force, because he would run out of leverage.
@@PedroCosta-gv6jn we'll see, but it could just be giving enough force not quite lock them up immediately
Is it just me or is Hi-Low lowkey the Nolan character development arc? Not even really joking and I'm totally here for it honestly
Would love to see Donut tackle a mini truck like a Chevy Luv or old Datsun for the next money pit.
Love Hi/Low. I REALLY loved when you guys did the Tacos, I like the 4WD side of vehicles these days way more than cars and street racers now that I've gotten older
Older… and clearly wiser, young grasshopper.
Agreed! 4wd of road will get you to way cooler places. Rather be there than a track for sure.
“And now it’s time to do lines!” Definitley had the wrong idea in my head
I think I’m 100% for low car, like cheering for the underdog. Another great episode
I'm waiting for a car with power. They have such weak cars.
I love this series, and love the mech. Felt this season 2 was rushed. But, im always excited to see more content. You guys are Awesome!!!!
This is season 3 for these cars mate. Or Season 4 of high-low
@@Asdeer101 Second seasons as of Nissan 350 z series .
@@Suavemente173 Exactly! This is the third season for the 350z.
Love the drum n bass during the handbrake drift test
Watching this in my final 2 hours of work, this’ll make it easier
if u can watch while being on work your job is easy
@@kiamorsal5096 well im watching over a building for 12 hours this past week 6pm-6am making sure it don’t go in flames lmao
@@superdj2456 my job is Abseiling so shut the pipe up
I think the next idea should be hi lo with lowriders I loved the episode they did on past gas about them and there is so much you could do with it, like paint job, interiors, sound system, wheels, hydraulics, suspension and then for the finally they could go face to face in a hop off submitting into a lowrider show or get an actual club to judge their cars without telling them who spent more
Last episode? Nooooo !!! We need more. We know it's a ton of work, but we love you for it!
LOVE THIS SERIES!
You guys are great hosts! I love seeing the development!
Also, when he needed two arms for the brake on high-car, I was like "that sucks!"
You guys are awesome. Can't wait for the next episode!
Cheers!
So an honest observation/question
In the last few episodes James seems to be off. I dont know if he's not feeling well or is not as excited to do the episodes anymore. Like Nolan, Justin, Jobe rest of crew all seem excited to be filming and doing things. James seems to be reading a script or just annoyed to be there. The way he holds his body, The way he looks at the camera, his mannerisms all seem to be different then when he first started Donut, or even as a few months ago. I really enjoy this show and hope he's ok with his heart/medical situation, also hope he still enjoys doing his job
The mans been through a lot, no doubt.
Well James is running a business lol… The guys are just fooling around
I’ve definitely been seeing the same thing. Hope he’s doing ok.
@@Shagedog10 Nolan is his business partner and he seems to be loving it...I think there is some underlying not donut stress going on
@@jimmbrooks you’re looking too deep into this bro lol..
The joy at 7:41 when something trivial like a console door opening when it previously didn't is something Nolan deserves
i still can't get over how good low car sounds it's amazing
Well they got the old exhaust off of high car. That thing sound so good ong
@@schwuzifr tho one of the best things they done this season so far
This has to be one of the most useful series, really good information. I've enjoyed it from beginning.
Can you do a "this is where things stand currently" video. I love donut. It's so great seeing Nolan go from james' son to an man of his own, has be an amazing experience.
This channel has literally rekindled my love of cars and tinkering
Don't buy cheap stuff.
@@anthonymcnatt3799 no one asked
I love these guys. They’re the first people whom have made it but make me feel like they’re still one of us. They keeps it real! ! ! :D
The editing on this video is fire 🔥
Thanks for upload I’m stuck at home with covid you guys are legends
Stuck at home? Are you 8?
@@anthonymcnatt3799 I'm 20 and I have covid it must have auto corrected lol
Glad that no matter how my week is, I have these to look forward to
These cars are getting more fun as the episodes progress. Excited what you'll come up with next.
The resale value for both these cars is gonna be insane when this series officially ends
30k or best offer after putting 50k into it 🤣. But honestly we don't put money into cars to raise the value we do it just to have more fun so loosing some money is well worth it.
For donut fans,maybe. Actual value would probably be close to none
The level of production is so high that Richard Hammond crashed when he saw this
Please please pleeeeeeeease tell me there’s gonna be another season. This is by far the best build series on TH-cam
Nothing better than donuts in the morning!🤝🏽✨
Would love to see a short video reevaluating the limited slip diff vs the welded diff with respect to drifting, because it definitely does make a difference
Love this video, boys! The cinematography and edits are badass! Happy to support Donut and it’s a treat to see every new video drop…
"Just keep pushing and eventually it'll go."
"See how I do that with my hand all wonky just to give you the shot?"
"If only we didn't need to bleed."
"Really had to yank on it to get it out."
That's what -she- Jobe said.
9:14 this aged very well 💀
Big time popping off 👌🏽
THANK YOU DONUT!!!! I've been following you since 10k subs from reaching 7 mil!! PROUD OF YOU BOISS!!! LET'S GO!!
You should do superchargers next!
yeeeeeeees!
Why they just break it.
14:58 the explanation is incorrect. It's implying that the force being spread out over a wider area somehow means there's less force acting on the rotor.
In a closed system, P1 (the pressure in the master cylinder) = P2 (pressure acting on 1st cylinder in caliper) = P3 (pressure acting on the 2nd cylinder in caliper);
F1/A1 = F2/A2 = F3/A3; F1*A2/A1 = F2; F1*A3/A1 = F3
Assuming the pressure being generated at the master cylinder is the same between the two cars, and that each Wilwood piston is the same surface area as the stock caliper, then the Wilwood would be generating more force on the rotors because of its larger surface area contacting the rotor.
An issue with the setup is the effective moment arm acting on the rod from the Sikky lever. Looking at where the rod attaches to the lever, it is evident that the force translated through the lever into the rod will be at an angle offset from the rod axis. It looks like there is about 30 degrees of displacement before the force vector acts in line with the axis. By that point your arm is already in the seat
So, the fix is in the handle geometry. Perhaps the connecting rod could be shortened just a little bit or the anchor point adjusted to put more force and sooner on the other side of the pivot point
@@MogoPrime Indeed. In an ideal setup, the handbrake goes from zero to full braking force with zero lever travel.
