**So yes this footage is not new, that's because I have a lot of footage that I took from awhile ago that I haven't been able to edit since the episodes take so much time. So now, I'm editing them in order to give "filler" videos between episodes :)
I've got a backlog of footage too. But sometimes I have a tendency to publish multiple videos over the period of two days. Lol, I suck at building up subscriber anticipation.
Oh yea I know haha sorry if my reply sounded like I had attitude. Can't really tell my voice in the text but I didn't mean it like that, just wanted to agree with you and tell you why Thanks for noticing :)
I like the JDM type x tails for the hatches but I like my stock tail lights on my 89' s13 240sx coupe with a silvia front end conversion. Sick vid man.
"Clear" ones look better, the red looks more vibrant and contrasts better with the car. If the "JDM" ones were given a good polish they'd look alright too but it's too similar to a Datsun/Skyline for my liking haha
Good to mention, that the clear lights have much worse light distribution, than the stock ones, as well as the turn signals on the clears are almost invisible in bright sunlight. The last note, you might don't know is, that in Europe only those outer red lamps are used as the tail lights. Inner lamps are used as rear fog lights (or maybe just the left one, I'm not sure).
thanks for this video, i was gonna pick a up a new shell if i ever found one, coming from coupe, go fastback. but so much added stuff to make type x tail lights fit.
Hey! Saw your CSUN sticker on your windshield. Me and a couple of friends from csun are going to Horse Thief Mile on march 15th with SpecDrift if you want to join us. Were all part of CSUN Car Club and if you wanna come hang with us on the 15th your welcome to. Were not good at drifting but we try our best
Mariano Sangollo Yup, jdm taillights and stock taillights are sold. I just have the clear ones now. RHOKiT The reason I sold them was so I wouldn't break them and lose $400 haha
Gonna quote from the comment I just posted "**So yes this footage is not new, that's because I have a lot of footage that I took from awhile ago that I haven't been able to edit since the episodes take so much time. So now, I'm editing them in order to give "filler" videos between episodes :)"
For me personally its between the jdm type X or tge stock i like the red and orange together but tge jdm lights give it a more modern more aggressive look
What about coupes? No one seem to have info about that; they look the same to me; but I’m not sure; are the oem coupe tail lights the same for the JDM and American variants?
Hey if ur going to do an engine swap can you make a detailed video on it ? I'm not good with the wiring and where all this hoses go :(. Iv never done one. Thanks :3
C'mon offbeat garage i thought you said the video was going to come out last week and you still didnmt post it, I really like your videos and i don't wanna unsub so please post the next one
That's what I thought too, but then teachers announced 5 mid terms. So it's either fail classes or upload a video. I chose school, sorry :/ I'm working on the video this week since I only have 1 midterm left.
is the 240sx a good first car?? i mean in terms of learning to modify it and also use it as a daily driver? im 16 and im looking for my first car but i also want to work on it in my spare time? what cars would you recommend??
SugarBoi Kyle I think it is. Although the main issue with 240's are the previous owners not taking care of them properly and that's what makes them unreliable. As long as you get one that's been taken care of, or that you fix all at once when you get it, it will be reliable and won't have issues for daily driving. Parts are also cheap for them which makes them good cars to first learn on and modify. Other cars to consider would be an E30 or an NA Miata or even a Foxbody Mustang. Just a matter of preference, but I like 240's the best haha.
I like type x but too much work haha. Hey if u sand those lights properly and put clear coat on it, U can make it brand new-ish again. And flit then lol
hey off beat i just starting watching you should have a comment questionnaire for naming the 240sx if you could do that please be sure to mention who gave the idea "wink wink"
+newbloodsk8r22 At the end of Ep. 5 of the Le Drift Car Series. Pretty much just take the old ones out and bolt the new ones in. Takes like 15 minutes. th-cam.com/video/WtZI4KuysQs/w-d-xo.html
Takes about 1 week of purely editing to finish those episodes. And right now I go to school 4 days a week. So two weeks from now means 8 days of school, leaving only 6 left to actually edit which already is less time than I need. Sorry :/
cocorecord1 The whole bottom section is scraped flat and has a whole in it from scraping the ground so much lol. But yea it's decent quality and sounds good and it's cheap.
+OffBeat Garage I'll give it a try lol. or maybe I'll for a smaller one , because roads on my country (Puerto Rico) are more like the moon ,I probably gonna hit the ground every 5 second lol
Professors announced 5 midterms on the week I was planning to edit the episode. So the choice was fail school or not edit the video. I chose to not edit the video :/
I say clear bro, JDM never cought my eye ,the stock 240 back lights is what got Me to like that model.
Yeah stock 240 was always better the type x is almost like trying to look like a skyline or something
@@dylancade2003 this exactly!

I think the videos are great man, keep it up!
type x is by far the best
Type x looks like they trying to copy an r32 a little bit
+Amadeus@KSD it's ok because they are both nissans
Its godzillas little brother
JDM Type-X tails looks good dude
Explained everything like a complete boss.
The fabric covering the license plate looked like a pair of old undies. Good explanation of tail lights!
Hahaha actually old pajama pants :P
***** dude I love your vids don't get me wrong I just said I noticed the old sticker
Oh yea I know haha sorry if my reply sounded like I had attitude. Can't really tell my voice in the text but I didn't mean it like that, just wanted to agree with you and tell you why
Thanks for noticing :)
This helped a lot. I didn't know the type x lower trim piece had a slight difference for the usdm lower trim piece.
I like the JDM type x tails for the hatches but I like my stock tail lights on my 89' s13 240sx coupe with a silvia front end conversion. Sick vid man.

Type x or the original :)
I've never liked clear taillights... reminds me of underground 2 :O
Keep it up :)
Good to mention, that the clear lights have much worse light distribution, than the stock ones, as well as the turn signals on the clears are almost invisible in bright sunlight.
The last note, you might don't know is, that in Europe only those outer red lamps are used as the tail lights. Inner lamps are used as rear fog lights (or maybe just the left one, I'm not sure).
I like the Type X , but I wish the Type X had an option with a full tailbar
*btw idk what the middle bits are called so I called them tailbars*
This video was actually very helpful and has saved me a lot of time for the future(was gonna get the JDM type X taillights)
stock us 240 tail light looks a lot better than the cheap clear tail lights, i think theyre even better than the type x
Hilux yeah too clear looks ebayishh lol😂
Said nobody ever
type x FTW!!!!!
I definitely like the stock 240 ones the best!
yea im probably gonna keep the stock but I do like the type-x
Thanks dude ! Can't wait to start making videos of my 240, I also live in CA !!!
Miguel Herrera No problem, nice :)
Any more drift videos, really enjoyed watching them two
Yup, editing a new one right now :)
Great video and informative for people who can't decide!
Type x, wet sanded glossed, then a nice quality light gloss grey tint on top
love your 240sx so clean and simple
the jdm x tails are soo nice, but the new ones you bought are clean as well :)
thanks for this video, i was gonna pick a up a new shell if i ever found one, coming from coupe, go fastback. but so much added stuff to make type x tail lights fit.

Haha that's funny. Hmmm I've never tried Horse Thief. I think I can make it, but idk how well I'd do on it haha. I'll let you know if I register :)
Just registered, see you guys there :)
clear tales look real slick. I'd maybe put some tint on the bottom just to not cause so much attention though. maybe.
Plz plz put the full jdm tailights on it
Will look rad
Still worth it
***** he already bought them.....
''he already bought them.....''
buys the car with all included ._.
if he breaks them,he puts the clear ones and voila
RHOKiT He already sold them
Mariano Sangollo Yup, jdm taillights and stock taillights are sold. I just have the clear ones now. RHOKiT The reason I sold them was so I wouldn't break them and lose $400 haha
This video has been done a long time cuz twin sticker in the back strut is still there and when he filmed his last video he took it off
Gonna quote from the comment I just posted "**So yes this footage is not new, that's because I have a lot of footage that I took from awhile ago that I haven't been able to edit since the episodes take so much time. So now, I'm editing them in order to give "filler" videos between episodes :)"
For me personally its between the jdm type X or tge stock i like the red and orange together but tge jdm lights give it a more modern more aggressive look
I'm really digging the type x tail
love your videos man keep it up
I love the rear bumper . What is it ?
Hey man love your videos, you should paint your car purple! it'll match the rear view mirrors and engine
;)
Sweet vids dude i noticed you went to adams to learn to drift are you a local in riverside?
Not local to riverside. Takes me about 2 hours with traffic to go to Adam's.
What about coupes? No one seem to have info about that; they look the same to me; but I’m not sure; are the oem coupe tail lights the same for the JDM and American variants?
Love the videos bro keep them coming
JDM 180 type X FTW!!!
Hey if ur going to do an engine swap can you make a detailed video on it ? I'm not good with the wiring and where all this hoses go :(. Iv never done one. Thanks :3
If I were to do one, then yes. Right now I don't plan on it, but anything I do end up doing will be video'd in detail :)
nice.and i was just asking :3
:)
also the stalk tails would look great on them
I did not know Kouki taillights were that expensive... Looks like my 200SX will be running stock rears for a while :'(
I want those type x lights ):
C'mon offbeat garage i thought you said the video was going to come out last week and you still didnmt post it, I really like your videos and i don't wanna unsub so please post the next one
That's what I thought too, but then teachers announced 5 mid terms. So it's either fail classes or upload a video. I chose school, sorry :/
I'm working on the video this week since I only have 1 midterm left.
***** alright, alright.
the type-x is by far the nicest
There is also the ricer looking (imo) spyder/altezza tailights
What is the best way to change a 240 that has these tail lights to the silvia style brick tail lights?
Oh... good old times. 2015... these cars was still worth the price.
hey will see taillights for on my 95 s14 I really like those type x
Great video mate!
Clear looks better in my opinion. Suits the paint.
When are you gonna post your video of you at willow springs??
About a week, been editing it for days now.
***** hell yeah can't wait!
is the 240sx a good first car?? i mean in terms of learning to modify it and also use it as a daily driver? im 16 and im looking for my first car but i also want to work on it in my spare time? what cars would you recommend??

kouki tails are always the best looking ( jdm type x)
I like type x but too much work haha. Hey if u sand those lights properly and put clear coat on it, U can make it brand new-ish again. And flit then lol
Also how about smoked lights?
Echo-GAMING These are the 3 main taillights and I didn't have any smoked taillights on hand when I did the video :/
nah i mean u should try smoked. they look great.
how would i make the type x lights flush?
isn't there like one more kind of tail lights u can get that's clear with 3 red circles instead of 2 like 180sx?
Junyan lights. They look trash imo.
Shit looks trash doe so no one gives a fuck about em
where can i find rear trim for the jam type x
Clear tail looks nicer in my opinion :OO
I love the shiny look of clear ones but... type x and 90's feeling ftw smh ^^
also you should invest in a rad body kit
Whats a estimate of what the whole project costed you?
$2700 for the car, and I'm guessing $1000 to $3000 on top.
I'm a big fan of the type x
Can the jdm type x fit on a coupe?
I like the jdm tailights but the clear r good 2
hey off beat i just starting watching you should have a comment questionnaire for naming the 240sx if you could do that please be sure to mention who gave the idea "wink wink"
Will you be getting a full body kit. Maybe from origin
Eventually yes, right now I need to focus money on getting another car. But I'll probably go with a VIS B-speed to start with.
Please don't get a bodykit unless it's a type x rep kit... :/
No thanks
***** ye i agree i wouldnt go with any body kit, keep the car for performance, not for looks cus sometimes it looks bad. But then agian its not my car
***** if your are looking into another car look into a 1996 300zx or any year simular I'm positive your like it
What is the bottom of the center piece called ???
Miguel Herrera Taillight garnish panel is usually what you can find it under.
Favorite is the type x
Not to sure what happened at the end there....
do you have an installation video?
+newbloodsk8r22 At the end of Ep. 5 of the Le Drift Car Series. Pretty much just take the old ones out and bolt the new ones in. Takes like 15 minutes. th-cam.com/video/WtZI4KuysQs/w-d-xo.html
no weather stripping glue around the tail lights for leaking?
The clear taillights come preinstalled with foam weather stripping on them. So just unbolt old ones, clean area, bolt new ones on.
its very easy lift the hatch then remove centre piece
where can u get the trim panel for the type x tails
leandoer's arizona enjuku racing
what do you drive as your daily?
Whatever car is available at the house to drive. Or I ride my bike or drive this car etc. It's not really a set car.
i like the 180sx
how to the turn signals work on the clear ones? is it the same as the usdm 240?
Just use orange bulbs for the turn signal and you're good
OffBeat Garage thanks!
When r u gonna go back on track???
New track video out in ~2 weeks
***** aw dude really? I wanted to see it earlier :(
Takes about 1 week of purely editing to finish those episodes. And right now I go to school 4 days a week. So two weeks from now means 8 days of school, leaving only 6 left to actually edit which already is less time than I need. Sorry :/
***** That's ok
where can i get 180sx light cheap?
even replica is ok
Junyan lights are replicas but personally you'd be better off and saving to get genuine type x lights.
Type x is my fav
didnt u say that u sold the jdm tail light for 400
The video uses old footage
^Like brando said, old footage. Jdm and stock 240 tails are sold.
What exhaust is that? Is it 3 inch?
3" piping with 4" tip. On the car when I got it, pretty positive just an eBay exhaust
Whens the next drift video :D
I like them all
Has anyone ever bought the s13 180 chuki all white tail lights?
They aren't 240sx specific, they went right through from 89-97, type x were later better model :)
You should focus on the engine and the suspension if u want to drift
Suspension is already setup and so is the engine.
stock taillights tbh they just look more retro and kind of aesthetic idk
Type x cuz jdm. Should get Silvia front clip
Put the type x ones on permanently
what exhaust you have?
+cocorecord1 Generic eBay 3"
+OffBeat Garage how is the quality? is good? it looks pretty sexy but look like it's going to hit the paviment
cocorecord1 The whole bottom section is scraped flat and has a whole in it from scraping the ground so much lol. But yea it's decent quality and sounds good and it's cheap.
+OffBeat Garage I'll give it a try lol. or maybe I'll for a smaller one , because roads on my country (Puerto Rico) are more like the moon ,I probably gonna hit the ground every 5 second lol
cocorecord1 Hahaha should be fun :P
The clear once
Always the type x
Better would be clear jdm style
Type X Tails > Origin Tails > USDM Tails
You okay brah ?
Yup
Good :) how you been anyway
Pretty good, just really busy with school the past week and upcoming week :/
How've you been?
***** good busy with college and saving for a holiday
Niiice
Clear tail is best!!!!

Pretty much build a racecar
Disappointing.... you're wearing incorrect foot wear. No flip flops!
:D
Hahaha
Make a new video 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
stock 240 lights>
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE NEW VIDIO!!!
Professors announced 5 midterms on the week I was planning to edit the episode. So the choice was fail school or not edit the video. I chose to not edit the video :/
***** great choice lol
R32 tails tho
type x ftw
i prefer stock
