From a $4000, Gutted, and RB Powered 280z, to “Forever Car”: Chris Forsberg’s Gold Leader Z

- A lot of you know @chrisforsbergracing for his annoyingly-good skills behind the wheel of various drift cars over the last… many, many years. But beyond showing other people up on the regular in Formula Drift, Chris stays busy with street car builds too. And one of our personal favorites is his gold-laden, widebody, RB powered 280z. From humble beginnings as a stripped-out $4000 shell, to the Chris built his “forever car” out of this thing. And Larry has been there since the early days of the meticulous build.

He looked KINDA interested with selling (briefly).🤔
Would he SERIOUSLY consider an offer?🤔
I think autofocus is easily the best content Hoonigan puts out.
I agree. Even if I'm not into the vehicle he's speaking about his positive tone and enthusiasm force me to watch the whole video 😂
Have to agree, it's like a video version of a tuner magazine and larry's charisma it 2nd to none.
I totally agree!
So Larry, does your back hurt from carrying the ENTIRE Hoonigan channel during this unprecedented time?
We definitely appreciate the support!
What about Dan and the Diesel Camaro or the new build biology on the pro mod NSX
@@isaacshively6705 knuckle busters is a temporary show, build bio episodes are far and in-between. No one does consistency like Larry.
I have yet to see any other hoonigan video aside from Larry's, since quarantine...they just don't grab my attention
Every time Larry drops a vid...I'm watching.
It's nice to see someone who really knows his build anything asked he could explain... you get the feeling he was very involved
Not arrogant just knowledgeable cool guy
john moser you can actually watch the car transformation on car donut
I adjusted Larry's seatbelt 20 times in my head.
If I could like a comment more than once this would be it
Me tooo...!! 😆
@@tyryman9053 you can comment more than once!
My OCD was killing me!
69th like
I think Larry Chen likes old-school z's ... Maybe 🤔
just a little
I dunno.. it's on the internet so I dunno how accurate it is
Slightly biased lol
Nah, he seems like an LS guy
@@LarryChenPhoto 😂😂
What’s crazy is everyone you are able to work with is so humble and it’s absolute gold .
I am so happy to see this as an autofocus. Chris' z is my favorite z HANDS DOWN.
71 east african rally ftwww
This has to be my personal favorite TH-cam video EVER. Not because it has one of my favorite pro drifters, the car I saw at times getting built at Rad Industries, or my favorite photographer. But for the part when Larry and Chris were chitchatting on the roads, passing the streets I grew up in, and even the area where I was born. I moved to Texas a year ago and miss home CM/NB Cali❤❤❤
Not many 30 min videos on TH-cam I watch start to finish consistently. Hoonigan autofocus is definitely the only one. Cheers !
280z are just one of the coolest looking cars ever made
Live Free Moto 240z
I had a 1972 Datsun 240Z in the late 80’s and sold it before I went back to Germany in the Army. I owned BMW and, at one point a 1972 Porsche 911 Targa. They were fun to drive, but I have missed my Z ever since I sold it. I am looking to buy another one now as a project car. That is how I found this video. Incredible care. Stunning.
I for one am totally ok with all the Larry content lately. His excitement about cars and associated topics is really refreshing right now.
I’m watching this with a goofy smile on my face. I had a 78’ 280 that I drove for 10 years. The thing that I never heard you say is how much fun it is to drive. It didn’t matter how fast or slow I was going, it was just pure pleasure to drive.
"sick car dude" cracks me up lmao!
also, loving the new outro compilation, Larry!
This video just keeps on giving.. 28min 52 second car tour and a long drive at the end. Beautiful Larry !!
This is actually one of my favourite S30 builds. Just *so* clean
One of the GOAT Z’s out there also my fav part is the G Nose front end.
Love this car, love the engine setup and the sound is spot on. Also Chris seems like a really cool guy to hand around with and nice to see someone who loves RB'd Zeds as much as myself.
Thanks for the video.
I bought my 280 13yrs ago for $1300 fixed it up myself kept it stock, it was my daily driver for 6yrs , still have it ,garage kept. Never gonna sell it.
This was awesome. Currently in the middle of building my own 280 and this just made me so damn stoked for it. Thanks guys ✌🏻
Love the car, have no idea about what you are saying, so many numbers and info. Awesome car.
Thank you, Larry for this! I love the polished Valve cover like the old L series engines. I saw Chris get a perfect 10 at Sonoma back when Formula Drift stopped by there.
I dont get tired of this kind of content. Wow this car is freaking awesome... thank you for sharing and the owner to make run like this...
When I'm a millionare, a 280z will be one of many cars I'll have in my garage.
This is one of the best sounding RBs I've heard. Amazing setup.
OMG it's one of best zs I have ever seen!! this guy is so intelligent. The engin the color the rings all perfect.. Well done bro. Great Job thanks for the video dude. 🙏 God Bless peace ✌️
That new garage is a straight dream setup 💪💪💪
work of art
Gotta say Larry - You put together a great video. Love the content, great job hosting and also good job with the rest of the production work.
Overall I like and appreciate this build. Gotta appreciate the modernized G-nose. I had one on my '76 Z in Japan in '91.
That lady is cool af.
Edit: And that words about not focusing on numbers, instead just enjoying the car for what it is from Chris, is actually very true and most of us overlooked and get caught up with high numbers when it's much more enjoyable and reliable with less power.
Thnx for introducing me to this fantastic car culture Larry. Good people, having fun with beautiful cars. I just saw the video of the delivery of your 280z and I get the appeal. What a beautiful car!
This is truly a new take on the Devils Z
Omg! Amazing build! Piece of art!
Thanks Larry for all the Z content lately..makin me really regret selling mine a few years ago...thanks alot
Old school Z's are my favorite! Second RX7's. Just beautiful cars forever!
Rb s30 chassis is the dream. Beautiful car and fantastic build.
I can definitely appreciate this kind of build, especially under the hood where nothing is hidden beneath beauty panels. Functional, clean, and best of all, it hasn't been bastardized.
The excitement during the drive is contagious. Great vid
Larry's seatbelt is killing mi,the little clips in between are hilarious, beautiful car with amazing sound,this guy knows his stuff
Dam that thing sounds new the motor that is such a nice car nice to see another 280/240 looked after so well and again Larry you rock on showing cars like this love it my friend
The fact that the body kit works with the long nose makes me like it that much more!
Larry I am such a Z guy too, I totally get all of your enthusiasm in this vid!
23:45, sees the white Silverado trying to keep up and gives it a little more. Racer life.
This thing makes my mood to be good for starting the day, thanks Larry.
12:30 larry gets possessed by a demon? what just happened to his voice?
I have always liked this car.. Thank you for making this video, Larry.👍
The RB is my favorite sounding engine of all time too. I had to get one as well.
Ah the 280 z my buddy had one loved going for rips in it .but this one is really nice man what a whip did a great job building it for sure .
Autofocus = my fav hoonigan special. Reminds me of the good ol daily transmission days. Jus without the scumbaggin in the donut garage parkinglot
Car is absolutely gorgeous
Oh man, all the right noises! 😍🥰
This has become literally my favorite youtube series ever
This car is amazing. Could park next to any car in the world, and I'm sure it would garner more attention. Gorgeous, sick name, even has it's own personality! Love it. Mr. Forsberg, I tip my hat. Thank you.
Thanks for taking ‘’us’’ the internet for a ride in one of the dopest Z’s #legends
Such a beautiful build!!!!
My first car was a 260z almost 40 years ago. I had the good fortune of recently obtaining a 280z. I will be keeping this one.
Nice video. Takes me way back. My best friend back in the day had a 240-Z and I had an 83’ RX-7. We raced constantly. I’d lose every time the heat soak set in.
It just ties it together man.
i realy like this chanel, im not sure how many people will belive you that all the video’s that came out since the quarantine were filmed before the quarantine 😁 lol
i love cars so much. and my fav part of them all is the sound. now thats gonna be taken away and im afraid my love for cars too :(
AWESOME CAR! Love all the work done in all areas. Makes me miss the 1070 240z I had. I had installed a Nissan 5 spd, had Koni's. front self made spoiler, rear spoiler, wider a larger wheels and tires, etc. If I had that today it would be so much more upgraded, because in those days the technology just wasn't the same. I totally appreciated all the newer tech on newer motors that increase horsepower beyond anything we could have imagined in the early 1080's. The suspension upgrades almost interest me the most. Thank for sharing such a great example while retaining the classic car look.
Maybe my favorite body style of all time. I made memories in the early 2000s with an orange 74' 260 2+2. Gld Ldr for the win.
Thank you Larry.
I’m digging the red Honda Spree in the back 9:50
So sweet. Being a Z man and loving RB’s, she’s a great car. Need one or maybe just a ride. I’ll do it in my Z32
That Z is still my favorite Z ever built, it's just pure perfection! I still hope to see it at the BurnYard some day!
Nice!!!!! The Sound is fantastic!
Hell yeah, that shoutout to Skillard on the rear diffuser!
oh my, that shot at 3:25 is fire. this ride is so sweet.
I fall in love with this car😍🤤
I could listen to this car all day.
I love these things, 280z.
I'm a Toyota 2JZ Guy but this RB sounds crazy good and the BLOW OFF VALUE dump is F ing sick!!!!!!!!!
Once someone makes it on this channel, you know you’ve made something badass to get Larry’s attention
This should be turned in a hotwheels car. One of my favourite builds this and Daniel Wu Honda S600 and Sung Kangs 240z should do a photo shoot together. Make it happen Larry!
As always Larry, great content 👍
the sound of rb25
Cielos, sentí la adrenalina, suena espectacular, lo quiero!🏁🏎
Only just discovered Larry.. really like watching and listening to him.
Best music of any TH-cam show that I watch.
That blow off valve sound makes me feel like everything is gonna be OK.
I approve the numerous BMW's in the background 🇩🇪💯
Jesus that car sings. At 50 yrs old, I bought an '13 FR-S six speed because I couldn't see restoring an old Zee and have it as street-able as this generation's Japanese classic sports car. My heart wants the Zee but my head loves the FR-S.
such a cool video. getting uplifting comments about your car makes me so happy. I'm not a honda guy but damn to the people that bought a brand new type r integra before it was cool tho!
My first burnout, in a buddies 280zx. First car I ever was in that jumped, 200sx. Both were fun cars!
Yeap as a fellow z (75 280z) owner like you guys were saying it brings out memories in people , the high 5s , thumbs up, and all the other stuffs gets old but when older people give you a short story of their interaction with a Z in the past is priceless, i drive mine everday did a sr20det swap also makes a great daily driver, , roadtrip car Fresno ca to LA beaches under 30$ in gas LoL
I have a hunch why such beautifully and tastefully modded cars create a more intense emotional reaction with spectators and fans of cars. Anyone who can make a big amount of money can just buy a sports/super/hypercar and there you go. But such a beauty as this Nissan always takes dedication, knowledge and patience to build yourself, and on level that becomes tangible. What a ride!
This Z sounds so beautiful ❤️
There’s a purple one riding around Honolulu lately super clean wide body love the chassis of these nisssans
That sounds so good!
What a beautiful car, wow
