This is by far the most tastefully modified Donut car and today the audience learned that Jimmy has more JDM knowledge and better taste than 95% of people watching this video. His choice of wheels alone is evidence of this and he even pronounced Bride correctly. His mod choices were tasteful, period correct, and even the brands were on point. All of you watching should be taking detailed notes, not complaining lol.
He seems to be really into hyped up stuff JDM nerd stuff but also didn't know that his ca18de Silvia came with an r180 diff and he bought a kaaz for an r200. The mistake could have just been for dramatic effect I suppose.
He's done great. You gotta remember he's where Nolan was only a few years ago, under James' mentorship. I can see why Pumphrey thinks he left Donut in very capable hands
This is my main problem with donut. They do these sweet builds on dope cars then we NEVER see the cars again. No drifting videos, or track days or canyon carves, nothing. Show the builds more! Also It’d be dope as fuck if Donut let them make the initial D cars, not 1:1 but inspired builds from the FD, Trueno, Skyline, EVO, etc. would love to see that and its gimmicky enough to pull views. Edit: Just saw the trueno at the very end! God I hope they do it.
@@kennycrane7050 eww I haven't watched this yet but the last thing the world needs is another S13 drift missile with a stupid welded diff.....why not just make it a fun spirited driving and occasional track day car with an LSD
so Zach begged the donut executives to do a series to rebuild his s14 for years and they said no. He left and does a rebuild series that does amazing on their channel so now donut are doing personal car build series?? make it make sense.
For me it's more of a damage control kind of situation, they finally saw how successful personal car build series can be on BigTime and they decided to approve it for Jimmy.
Being around S chassis for almost twenty years…..this young lad has done his homework and his Silvia looks period correct👌🏻. Very tasteful and much respect!
@@ryebr_ead I don't mean it was being built. I mean planning. A lot of stuff on large youtube channels has months of planning. It isn't just a matter of "IDK, lets make this week's video?!"
“I don’t hear it chirping” lol. it doesn’t have the power to spin that wheel so that’s just putting more strain on that diff and axles iIt will end up breaking to pieces if you ever put any power upgrades in. Welding the diff is good if your gonna be drifting but if you are using this as a daily and not even gonna slide you just added more strain to your drivetrain any time you take a turn
Ahhh brother you shouldve just sold the Kaz and waited to put in one that fits. Youre gonna hate the welded in a matter of days. Its worth it to wait and save ive been there myself.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. If he wanted to use it for purely drift or drag, sure, but spirited mountain driving and welded diff do not go together.
I have a welded Right now in my SC300 and I got sick of it after the first 2 minths. But soon I will rebuild my old Open Diff with an LSD probably from Traction Concepts.
This was actually a very enjoyable video. Jimmy has come a long way since he started as far comfort in front of the camera goes. Kudos to Donut and Jimmy on this one!
Jimmy: "I hope no plastic clips break!" Also Jimmy: welds diff, rolls fenders, hammers underbody, welds exhaust Once I saw the axel grinder come out halfway, I knew this car was done for 😅
You've GOT GOT GOT to adjust those coilovers. It looks like either the spring preload is way too high, or the spring rate is so stiff that it needs helper springs. As-is, it looks like there's too much bump travel, and only ~1.5 inches of droop. If it needs helper springs, add them and raise the spring perch by the same amount as you sink the shock body into the lower cup. This will maintain the same ride height and only reallocate some of the bump travel into droop travel. OR, if it just has really high preload, lower the spring perch to decrease preload and raise the shock body up and out of the lower cup. Both of these strategies maintain the same ride height as long as you adjust the lower cup and the spring perch by the same amount. Basically, maintain the gap between the lower cup and the spring perch to leave ride height unchanged. Additionally, this will NOT affect how stiff the car rides, it will only prevent the shock from fully extending and jarring the car on big dips. Additionally, it looks possible that the extra bump travel can cause the wheel to travel too high into the fender on bumps. This is also why it's REALLY important to know how much bump travel there is. The best way to check this is to remove the springs and bump stops from the coilovers, then with the car in the air, jack up each corner until the shock bottoms out. If something else, like the tire, hits the fender or wheel tub first, you MUST adjust some of the bump travel out. Bump stops are there for a reason, and if they aren't fully compressed prior to things colliding like the tire to the tub, you seriously risk losing control of the car on a big bump by locking up the tire against the frame, or even ripping the tire apart if it gets cut open by something like a pinch weld of bolt stocking out. The other failure mode is that the frame hits the ground first, and that might even be worse. Countless videos online of slammed cars on the highway that just spin out when they hit a big enough bump and the chassis gets yanked to one side from scraping against the ground. You wouldn't want to gouge out that nice new exhaust either. This is REALLY important to check!
It’s a car, not a rain forest, or bird sanctuary or 300 year old redwood. The entitlement of people who think you owe them something is mind blowing on social media.
the type of complaints ppl do should be kept for ppl that buy clean cars and literally trash them/total them or destroying 1 of 1 demo cars for extensive projects, he didnt even do much to it
Awesome video I feel like Jimmy has really saved donut he's bringing back all the old vibes and just how much we love the channel is really starting to show again keep it up
This series is fantastic for so many reasons; the car itself, the techniques shown but for me the most enjoyable element so far has been seeing those guys all working sensibly, methodically and with a genuine love for the job. At almost fifty I'm looking at this workshop and loving how the modern world allows us all to sit back, pour a short one and revel in a bit of proper top end big-sheddery and mechanical cool. Thanks Jonny 👍🤘
If you're not making a mod that you can't reverse then you're not ruining it imo especially if you can just put the stock parts back on. Edit: commented this before the tow hook was cut saw the rolled fenders and was like "that's not tooooo bad"
@@yatsuraboy9958 Duh. "anything can be undone within the right hands" And enough money. That's the rub. It will cost 10x what the car is worth to undo all these mods. Oof.
While the purist and collector in me is screaming. I do fully support Jimmy in making his car into his dream car, i cant fault him for that. What i would say is get a hold of Jobe and find out and do all the same oiling mods to the engine he did, id hate for all this work to be done and then the engine spins a bearing and dies.
The engine in Jimmy's car is completely different from the one in Jobe's car. Jimmy's is a CA18DE and Jobe's is an RB25DET out of a skyline considering that he's leaving it N/A for now he probably won't have any issues out of it.
@@NateDog_WDE yeah man, I completely forgot Jobe had engine swapped his S13. I remember it coming out and going back in but forgot it wasn't the stock engine in the beast.
Yeah, the wheel well pinch weld was hard to watch but the rest was alright. Coulda heated that pinch weld up and bent it instead of whacking it with a hammer....
This is the most satisfying mods from donut period. Because all the meticulous things are so me. Get the right tools things, Japanese over night parts things, slowly but surely things. All me. Thanks donut for this. Thanks Jimmy
I'll say it again, great little build Jimmy I think you nailed it. Don't listen to the haters that are trying to kill the buzz. Also not sure if you are doing anything with the engine but I'd keep it simple and under powered because that will be so fun to rev out without getting speeding tickets
This is perfect. The only thing i would not have done is the bride seats. The bolstering on the oem seats is actually pretty good, and a fixed bucket is a bit odd for 100hp, at least get some reclinables! But i got no hate for this, thing is damn beautiful and will be so much nuch fun
This video definitely felt like they gave the keys to Jimmy to make a video… the references and quality is top tier! “The numbers Kyle!! What do they mean!” 🔥
I actually respect Jimmy a lot for this. And anyone who dislikes modifying a car made to be modified is no car enthusiast. That’s a purist mindset and that’s not Donut
Nah, nobody would be upset if they chose to screw with a hooptie. Jimmy chose to make a super super rare car (in its stock condition) into just yet another modified S-chassies. He essentially made the car worse by making it better.
@@Alphieboyits his car, why do you care? its definitely better than any build you could make. honestly with these mods, and a few more i think this is the perfect car
@@Alphieboy haha your last word contradicts everything you said. He made it tastefully better anyone who complains just like to complain. It's a base model it was a mediocre car before the mods. They aren't even rare it just has low miles...
Okay I mean it's a personal build not professional build . I mean come on guys , I know I not the typical genre for a Legendary Silvia, but you have to give them the credit a dare to try something new . I mean they created a Miata (miata is always the answer ) lowrider dawg
Usually when a TH-camr changes their wheels it's to something hideous. But yeah, those are some petty nice wheels. I'm appreciating the period-correct mods.
This content is great. People are just upset it’s not the old faces pushing out the new content. Thanks for the awesome video donut! Please keep pushing out similar content. I’m excited to see the frs.
With the mods he did it would look way better in a museum than it did before. It's a mass produced base model s13 it's crazy that people think he shouldn't have done this. He did everything right
@@user-kj7nw4zg1y I know people tends to think they know too much without knowing much. Firstly, do these people actually knows why people donate stuff to museum ? Tax write off, no disrespect, jimmy probably earns way more than me but not enough to donate his car and have it as a tax write off… Secondly as you mentioned, it’s a base silver s13 ! I’m pretty some are already in the museum in America!
Ok, I'm biased because all the same things got me into drifting in the early 2000s.. but his was awesome. The mint cars we were modifying back in the day because of a particular anime/super street/option/best motoring. The mods we dreamed of doing back then. The choice of car to modify. Searching the Zilvia and fresh alloy forums for answers because you couldn't ask anyone questions at the local car meets because they didn't know what a sr20det (or drifting) was. Purchasing things that didn't really work but making them work because damnit you already paid for them.. All really hit home. And then the homage shirt at the end!? Right on Jimmy, well done ✌
@@erik365365365 NO he owes it to us to keep it stock the way WE want, even tho he bought it with his own money we're not shoudering any of the responsibility old maintaining the car😡😡 He should be cancelled
Every bit of this video was perfect! From Jimmy's donut shop with the "Nisno" font, to the end cinematic, heck even the See you again outro was ON POINT! Also is this car gonna be used in the Initial D car video coming this weekend?
People really butthurt over a old nissan 😂 These cars are meant to be driven, thank god this car didnt end up to some jdm ”elitist” who drives it once a year.
I picked up a near identical 2-tone Seafoam S13 (K's) just over 2 months ago and currently undergoing almost the identical build, props to building this Era Specific and keeping all mods reversable!
Idk who can be upset at this. I wouldn’t want to keep my car stock either. And if you’re an owner of a clean survivor, maybe the value of yours just went up a few dollars
I was mad at Jimmy when I seen how min the car was. Buttttt it’s Jimmy! We can’t be mad at Jimmy. Especially since he has such passion for what he does and all the mods were tasteful. Well done.

The mistake could have just been for dramatic effect I suppose.
I think alot of people would choose the same parts if they had donuts unlimited budget
Not only period correct, but a majority of the items Jimmy put on the S13 is almost identical to Iketani's Sylvia.
They gave jimmy a camera and a budget and said make a whole video
Real
its all hands on deck after jer and jobey left lol
But not enough time to research the proper parts fitment.
@@toolbaggershe said he researched for hours lol…..

Also can we itb the sr20? Pls...
He's doing just great I wouldn't consider that a hot take..
its a ca motor sadly not an sr

Can't be anymore happy for you Jimmy. You're living all our dreams
This content is great. People are just upset it’s not the old faces pushing out the new content. Thanks for the awesome video donut! Please keep pushing out similar content. I’m excited to see the frs.
24:35 what is that camera angle bro 💀💀
well he's not donating it to a museum...might as well build and send ittttt...
With the mods he did it would look way better in a museum than it did before. It's a mass produced base model s13 it's crazy that people think he shouldn't have done this. He did everything right
@@user-kj7nw4zg1y I know people tends to think they know too much without knowing much.
Firstly, do these people actually knows why people donate stuff to museum ? Tax write off, no disrespect, jimmy probably earns way more than me but not enough to donate his car and have it as a tax write off…
Secondly as you mentioned, it’s a base silver s13 ! I’m pretty some are already in the museum in America!
This is one of my favorite new Donut videos
Ok, I'm biased because all the same things got me into drifting in the early 2000s.. but his was awesome. The mint cars we were modifying back in the day because of a particular anime/super street/option/best motoring. The mods we dreamed of doing back then. The choice of car to modify. Searching the Zilvia and fresh alloy forums for answers because you couldn't ask anyone questions at the local car meets because they didn't know what a sr20det (or drifting) was. Purchasing things that didn't really work but making them work because damnit you already paid for them.. All really hit home. And then the homage shirt at the end!? Right on Jimmy, well done ✌
I love how he takes such good care of his car. No scratches. Jimmy you’re the man. Why do it if it ain’t gonna be done right🫡
LETS GO JIMMY I SUPPORT THIS BAD IDEA
You meant good idea haha. He improved it didn't ruin it
This is Donut. I love it. Lets keep this rolling guys! Lets keep building cars and not doing ridiculous things like ordering garbage from Wish.
How dare you modify your car how you want!
😂😂😂😂 bunch of babies in the comments thanks for the comic relief ❤
@@erik365365365 NO he owes it to us to keep it stock the way WE want, even tho he bought it with his own money we're not shoudering any of the responsibility old maintaining the car😡😡
He should be cancelled
Every bit of this video was perfect! From Jimmy's donut shop with the "Nisno" font, to the end cinematic, heck even the See you again outro was ON POINT! Also is this car gonna be used in the Initial D car video coming this weekend?
Nothing but love for chasing the dream car. Surprised you don't have your own channel Jimmy after watching this. Incredible work.
I can binge your vids all day!
nice try diddy
Now this... this I can get behind.
(also does the end hint at a temu 86 build??)
Would kill for any 86 build ❤
nah its a teaser for "Driving every Initial D Car" coming out in a couple days
It's not your car, people, shut up.
17:09 this exhaust looks really nice and something I've always wanted. Brola being donut main sponsor recently crying in the corner 😂
I really enjoy the videos where they actually show the work being done, instead of just saying, now time for the coilovers, then cut to it being done
if it was museum grade, a museum should have bought it 🤷♂
Assuming YT is around in 30 years, your comment will be hilarious.
People really butthurt over a old nissan 😂 These cars are meant to be driven, thank god this car didnt end up to some jdm ”elitist” who drives it once a year.
This is probably one of the best donut videos in recent memory
Jimmy is incredible, you can tell how much he loves this car and I am pumped to see him involved in more stuff.
I picked up a near identical 2-tone Seafoam S13 (K's) just over 2 months ago and currently undergoing almost the identical build, props to building this Era Specific and keeping all mods reversable!
most baller car in donut 😎
"baller"? no that'd be Tristan
Idk who can be upset at this. I wouldn’t want to keep my car stock either. And if you’re an owner of a clean survivor, maybe the value of yours just went up a few dollars
8,000 Miles. Lucky.
Car came out so clean, definitely worth upgrading that welded diff to a proper lsd, since spirited driving is your primary goal
Jimmy is the best. Loved his episode on Big Time, and glad we get to see him more.
Dude took a car that was 90% unique and turned it into 95% of all Facebook marketplace listing’s for 500.
What's with all these 12 year old level comments....
You got it… they all 12
Sir, this is a TH-cam
You fit right in.
13:43 hell yeah nerd out Jimmy
Definitely been loving the heavy jdm content lately!!!! Jimmy is tha bomb 💣
4:18 why does Jimmy look like Child Emperor after his transformation😭😭😭
Yay it's Jimmy. Not that other weird guy..😂❤🎉
Nothing can be forgiven for running history but this I like.
I don't get why people hate when others modify their own cars who cares if it's all stock with 8k miles it's your car do what you want with it
Jimmy is the BEST. Loved the S13 build.
I was mad at Jimmy when I seen how min the car was. Buttttt it’s Jimmy! We can’t be mad at Jimmy. Especially since he has such passion for what he does and all the mods were tasteful. Well done.
11:42 The numbers Mason! What do they mean???
Gotta love a reference
