That's honestly my favorite part. I wish I had a shop big enough to rescue cars like this, even the not so legendary cars. Imagine a world where you could take someone's beat up warrior of a daily and restore/upgrade it so they could fall in love with it all over again. I'd love to do that for a living.
I’ve got a ton of leftover goodies from a 2+2 z I bought for parts! Lots of good interior, aftermarket carpet already cut to fit, t tops with new seals, and lots of other stuff if you guys would be interested!
After watching the majority of the builds you guys have done over the years, builds like this are my favorite. Half restoration, half modification. I feel like cars like this are more relatable to most of us (financially) and really helps to build motivation to attempt something like this ourselves. Great work guys. Excited to see what Quinn does with the engine build.
My very first car was a 85 Nissan 300ZX and and loved it. Gave it up to support my wife (at the time) and kid. I always wished I could find another but couldn't. They are fun cars and not many have or drive them. Awesome to see you guys working one. Can't wait to see what it it looks like done. But the fun is working on them 😀
Mickey quick thing if you want to save your corded tools cord from breaking close to the handle pull down a few inches and then wrap it up. A little strain relief instead of bending it so tight that close to the tool. trust me I learned the hard way from doing just that. 7:07 to 7:12 on the vid. Love your content!
yeah i wanna see the body work, the painting.. everything.. this car will be awesome...this car deserves to be kept on the road.....im not happy youre switching out the engine
Holy crap the timing of this is unbelievable, I recently just bought a 240sx with a sr20det already swapped into it and I'm currently putting in a body kit and having it primed and resprayed!
This brings me back to the jdm 90s days. I can't wait for the finished product. Hella respect to the Throtl team. Projects like this are what inspire so many to restore and customize.
The 300zx has always been one of my favorite cars! I remember when it first came out it was a show stopper! The 2 seater is more desirable than the 2+2 in my opinion. Looking forward to seeing the entire build series!
ayooo Mickey with the save pushing the car onto the trailer. And showing off those calves pushing the z! and Rickey is a god with the welder too sheeeeesh
"Ricky can you translate this?". Ricky: "Random spanish words". 😂😂 You guys have a great sense of humor and an easy going vibe in the shop. Keep up the good work.
defiinitely would love to see updates on the body work. I hope you guys go with Cobalt Green Pearl. It's the only color both the S14 and the 300zx share. Especially cause of the SR20DET Swap.
You gotta go a bigger engine on the Z, the longer wheelbase is meant for top speed. A 2+0 I could see rocking an SR, but a 2+2? That needs a boosted V10
Man, not sure if ive ever been here this early but loving the 300zx. always loved that gen! such an underrated car. id love to see some body work montages or updates! always really satisfying to see! cant wait to see that thing all one color. going to be a really nice transformation for sure!
The 300zx would look sick in the same blue colour as Mickeys Throtl logo on his T-shirt at exactly 7:00 minutes in. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 especially with some white, chrome and black fast and furious style decals on 🤩
I'm guessing it's going to be blue to match the hat with the gold accents.... like the suspension color. Love your content, Ricky and Quinn are the best 'odd' couple in the game. They're incredibly talented and hilarious to watch interact with each other. Looks like I need to buy some merch to try to win this bad boy!
The time that Nissan made this 300ZX is probably the prime time of Nissan. Even today, the shape of this car does not look old. Looking forward to how this build will turn out.
A nice midnight purple 3 paint or a candy color like red candy with a nice 18in 5 spoke wheel to show off the painted calipers maybe two tone seats i cant wait to see it finished just looks like a awsome project love your vids i look forward to them everyday
I am really enjoying this. Mine is getting built now and watching you guys build yours is getting me excited. A candy apple red would really go well with the gold bits you've already painted. I can't wait to see more.
This channel and the guys on it have re-ignited my passion to work on cars....Been in my career for 20 years and ya'll have me seriously questioning if I am where I am supposed to be. Thanks for the amazing content and constant inspiration ! Hit me up if you are hiring or need an arch designer on the team ;)
After seeing your sons neon I’ve been trying to get one or a avenger and do so work to it been watching for like 3 years and been getting more into mechanics and I appreciate the long life hobby
I had a 2+2 nd a 2.0 both red and both non turbo. I just never clicked with the cars. the door pillar use to bother me bad. I also got fed up with having to do so many deletes. I didn't like it enough to swap it. I was a freshman in HS when the car came out. Such a disappoint me for me. Now I have a e36 hellrot 325is and this car is the keeper for me no matter what engine I go with. turbo the m50 or LS /K swap/1JZ sky is the limit. tons of support as well. and LIGHT!
tt z32 is a whole level above the na honestly, as for the weight can easily drop 100-200lbs from the car. Even seen cars under 3000 in extreme cases of weight reduction.
@@alexceni377 I get it but the front suspension design sucks. and I could not get used to the door pillar. Mine was a 1 owner car and the electrical problems in what looked to be a super clean example really took some of the shine off for me. Blend door actuator issues. tail light issues all kinds of weird niggles. I could never trust it. My e36 I would drive cross country tonight. But it was a good looking car both of mine were red.
It would be cool to find a company (streethunter) to make a one piece carbon t-top cover. You'd have to make it go over the center bar but it would eliminate a lot of leak points in the t-tops
I really like this project bc the 300z gets no love. The back bumper looks really cool. I don’t think your gonna hear alot of flack on it like the S2000 bumper.
Boys, we want all the possible footage of this build that you can possibly throw at us. So we need more if possible!
agreed
I appreciate you guys saving this Z. Most would have scrapped it, and you saved it. Respect👍
Check out PrizzaMike’s Z build!

@@pedrorodrigueziii4859 indeed that would be amazing👍
For real man, it's hard but much respect to Throtl for keeping this one on the road.
Will never say no to more Throtl content! This is a super fun and relatable project
More BTS conten on VERO! Follow us on there!
@@throtlI wish you guys would save my Z32 😂😭😭 it’s way out of my budget but I can’t imagine letting it go
I’ve got a ton of leftover goodies from a 2+2 z I bought for parts! Lots of good interior, aftermarket carpet already cut to fit, t tops with new seals, and lots of other stuff if you guys would be interested!
Yes! Please email Evan@throtl.com!

glad to see Mickey back on the vids
love the move to Vero, I'm so tired of instagram ads

i was about to point that out. +1 definitely leave a bit of slack on the cord

Would love to see the body work updates if possible!
love the 300zx content! we need more
Midnight purple would be sick
would love to see more body progress videos! It's fascinating to see a car from my childhood get restored
This brings me back to the jdm 90s days. I can't wait for the finished product. Hella respect to the Throtl team. Projects like this are what inspire so many to restore and customize.
Yo that multi spoke hot boy wheels y'all got back there better go on the 300zx....... And also Indy Yellow Pearl. Fire colour
definitely would love to see updates on the body and paint job progress.
The 300zx has always been one of my favorite cars! I remember when it first came out it was a show stopper! The 2 seater is more desirable than the 2+2 in my opinion. Looking forward to seeing the entire build series!

These videos never fail to bring a smile to my face
Same here, I was having a rough day and I'm so glad I saw this video.
I can wait to see what this project's going to look like once everything is installed!!!
So excited to see the color reveal on the 300ZX. Nice work.
Also another suggestion, maybe three piece convert those stock wheels
Supersonic blue with chrome miester s1’s
finally working on the z
I hope this build in done by the time I get back from basic
Yes. Love the Z. Keep the color a surprise!
"Ricky can you translate this?". Ricky: "Random spanish words". 😂😂 You guys have a great sense of humor and an easy going vibe in the shop. Keep up the good work.
Legendary translation 😄
That 🇵🇷 Spanish right there😎
@@s_car. SI senor 😆
doing this swap rn , so glad you guys are going at it at the same time! cant wait for mine to be ready
Love watching you guys restoring such a beat up car. Really showcases how good your team is and brings me back to the 3000gt project times.
defiinitely would love to see updates on the body work. I hope you guys go with Cobalt Green Pearl. It's the only color both the S14 and the 300zx share. Especially cause of the SR20DET Swap.
duck bill pliers with the vise grip handle would help. the hand seamers are the ones i use for sheet metal
It's coming around. Great work. Love how your putting that car together. One of my dream cars when I was a kid
You gotta go a bigger engine on the Z, the longer wheelbase is meant for top speed. A 2+0 I could see rocking an SR, but a 2+2? That needs a boosted V10
i cant wait to see this in color and start fitting together . so happy its being painted
you have to love hard these dudes work and the great content they put ou!
Millennium Jade I’m calling it 🙌🏽
one of my absolute favorite Z cars! I cant wait to see the final product, she needed a lot of love and work but is in good hands!
The Z is the best content. Always look forward to this build!
Man, not sure if ive ever been here this early but loving the 300zx. always loved that gen! such an underrated car. id love to see some body work montages or updates! always really satisfying to see! cant wait to see that thing all one color. going to be a really nice transformation for sure!
love the Z, you should make some updates in Black and White so you don't reveal the color...
Geezzzzz! That's a sick body kit! Love the sharp edges!
ok no lie.. those hats are clean... might need me one
I’ve seen other channels builds that get welding slag on backglass and shatter it. Just suggesting maybe cover the glass when welding near?
The 300zx would look sick in the same blue colour as Mickeys Throtl logo on his T-shirt at exactly 7:00 minutes in. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 especially with some white, chrome and black fast and furious style decals on 🤩
This Z32 is coming along great! Gonna be sweet
That's the best body kit you have ever installed!
Way more z content is needed guys!!!

You guys are living the life for sure. Bravo

Good job guys. For sure, will be nice to see further updates on this car.
Please do more with this car I'm invested
i hope it's a very bright colour, something that stands out a lot, going by the painted suspension pieces
This Z rebuild series will probably be one of your most popular ever. Hope you paint it Deep Purple Metallic
Can’t wait to see the color I hope is like a champagne burgundy
Definitely do bodywork updates! Would love to see it!
Nice! You guys builded it well.
I can’t wait to see the finish product. You guys are doing a wonderful job. Keep it up. Bravo.!!!!!
F
Im super proud of you all and thank you for your content super all interesting . Because in your upgrades mods and all.
Body work updated would be cool. Never get tired of any video from throtl
Kit looks sweet, another legend saved, you guys should paint it in Bayside blue but with a custom gold or green flake in it.
😂😂😂 Ricky with the easy explanation. . . "Dos tornillos y dos tuercas." 😂😂😂
So hyped for this one. Love to see you saving This car. Should definitely do more cars like this!
I cant wait to see Quinn Rebuilding that SR!!!!
All the footage please 😁, love this car and love the state of this 1 thus far 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Keep it up yor’ll💪🏻
Coming out sick!! 1st car 85 300zx 2+2
A nice midnight purple 3 paint or a candy color like red candy with a nice 18in 5 spoke wheel to show off the painted calipers maybe two tone seats i cant wait to see it finished just looks like a awsome project love your vids i look forward to them everyday
One of my dream JDM cars, there's a very nicley done up one in my area i see all the time, real neck breaker !
Yes, I’d like to see updates on the progress of the car.
Kit looks great, simple and clean. Championship White would be a sick color. But do stop by with bodywork updates
What a great build, really enjoying this series. 🤘 The power to weight ratio of this Z will be amazing.
2:45 Rickie es el mejor 💪😂🇵🇷
Nice kit, can’t wait to see the result!

A 300ZX needs to be on either Meisters or Super Advan V2s!
U get it

Keep the paint and bodywork updates coming
i love your works throtl!!! you guys are the best!!! 😍🇵🇭
It would be cool to find a company (streethunter) to make a one piece carbon t-top cover. You'd have to make it go over the center bar but it would eliminate a lot of leak points in the t-tops
i love this idea
Carbon tops already exist, mission z japan is the only one still producing them right now I believe.
@@alexceni377 I meant one solid piece that covers both tops. Like an imitation targa like the supra except you keep the center bar
Hell yea!!! Something to watch at work! 🎉🎉
Would love to see the progress as it goes for the body work and paint!
I really like this project bc the 300z gets no love. The back bumper looks really cool. I don’t think your gonna hear alot of flack on it like the S2000 bumper.
seeing video on wiring harness would be awesome!!
It'd be cool to see flush mounted glass on this one. Great work, looking forward to the rest of the build
my favorite throtl build
That beat at the beginning really reminds me of the young guns theme song. 300 is looking good 👍
That greddy hat is dope!
They make a radio delete center piece which replaces it with an ipad. You should add that into the build to clean up the interior!
Red would look sick
Guys car looking good love the body kit can’t wait to see the new color on it ! Like to see getting ready to be painted! Keep up the good work 😁
Those hats are fire!!
Would love to see some videos of the body shop progress
I love this car, it's going to be a sick build
Did Jimmy O get a shout out for doing this first and possibly inspire the build. Possibly when the boys when to visit his garage.
the color is definitely some sort of blue
