Like you could tell the dude was super stoked to explain his masterpiece, and was getting interrupted while trying to share about it.

      I noticed it a little too. I think it was a format issue. The builder evidently has a keen eye for details and Vin knows that there is also a time limit on the video as well so I think he was simply trying to keep it relegated to the obvious things but on a car this well engineered and built you could probably stand and talk about brake ducting for 2 hours and never see the rest but I also feel this level build should get a more in depth bit where the builder can walk us through his creation idea by idea. Love the show love the content keep lighting them up guys!

      @RyTrapp0 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Let's be honest though and keep this in context - the Z-coupe has ALWAYS been downright conservative compared to the 2000GT.
      And, while the Japanese did have a decent number of 'bullseyes' with their rather eclectic Eastern takes on peak muscle car Western styling(let's be honest, they probably would've been looked at kind of like how the young & inexperienced Chinese auto industry is today by outsiders, albeit probably with a bit more inherent respect for technical ability & craftsmanship given the difference in education &, [ahem], employer-employee relations), the Z-coupe was still an extremely budget 2000GT - that unfortunately looks like it(why else you think EVERYONE body mods 240Zs?) - and the 510 was still just a knock off BMW(which itself was TOTALLY inferior to good ol' merican iron careening your way with 135 1970s HP from nearly 6.0ls of V8 WOOO!).
      While I'm definitely a fan of a lot of their styling(DAMN do I want to build a rallied out Dat510 with a screamer Ford 'Cyclone' 3.7l V6 crammed in), let's not misrepresent what they were then.

    To the builder: first off, absolutely amazing work. Now let's get technical. This build appears to be an exercise in thermodynamics. Your efforts to control temperature is astounding. A next level of testing would be to test each system under normal driving, hard driving and then track conditions to see what effect all this plumbing does to these temperatures. Also noting the effective and optimum ranges these systems and fluids need to operate as it is possible to be too cool for some of these lubricants. Then you could manipulate the cooling to optimize the most effective range of operation. Say your diff fluid is never getting up to temp, it will create drag on the rotating assembly in the rear which will rob power and control. One could easily wire up temp sensors for each item to further testing. I also must acknowledge the packaging of everything. Your space management is astounding. It would be a pleasure to see all of your engineering through to auctual results and numbers on paper..

    This car is amazing. I’ve loved 240’s since I was a kid when my dad let me do my first donuts in one that my grandpa had and was trying to sell. We had to stack pillows on top of one of those 3” tall milk crate type things, and stick a couple more pillows behind me just so I could reach the pedals and see over the dash, but I’ll never forget that. I would trade both of my cars for this one. I love it.
