What a lovely build. I'm sure it triggers the Datsun people and the BMW people but he's really respected the car and still managed to build something which addresses the issues inherent in the Z which is fantastic. I'm sure it's fantastic to drive and it looks gorgeous. Wouldn't change a thing. Congrats to him, that car is an absolute credit to him. Well done.
Keeping a straight 6 is really keeping in the spirit of the car, and BMW's does some of the better ones these days. So many folks just chuck an LS motor in and call it a day. This is really a special car. I miss my old Z but it just rusted into nothin :(
Fantastic build. I’ve had multiple Datsuns and later in life multiple BMWs including an E30 with a Brintech S54, 6 speed, R200 diff conversion. This Z is perfection. When you’re ready, sell it to me…….seriously. Love it 👌🏻
Bloody hell!! I'd be happy parking that next to the Torana from the last video. What else blows me away is how much it sounds like an original Z engine anyway. Beautiful build Mate, congratulations.
Brought a brake upgrade off dave and had a good look around the car at classic japan 2022. Legit one of the wildest but cleanest zeds in the country. A true master at work. Legend. Look forward to the Volvo's completion 👌
Is heart warming to see that this car has been given all the love it deserves and some. Pristine project. Well done.!! Thanks to Fullboost for reporting so well.
E36 M3 powered 240Z. Perfect combination of Dr Jakyll and Mr Hyde. I like it has cable throttle and kept N/A as it should be. Also it has same power as a factor LS1. Perfect build David 💯
POS bmw motor Only proper upgrade is an rb The ls is also a far superior motor than anything bmw ever built . Bmw is junk. What a tragedy for this Nissan
@@shifty1927 is that why billet 2jz and rb30 blocks put down 3200 plus hp in Australia? That’s right now. Bmw never made it past 1500 in any motor ever. Ever. That’s the m12 megatron 1.5 in qualifying turbo trim not race trim either. Race mode is 500-600hp less. We can do this all day .
Beautiful car....perfectly designed....I remember it from way back then.....you had a brilliant idea with the BMW engine...she sounds veeerrry confident now....original colour, too. A gem.
I've seen this car in person, have photos of it. Photos and videos do not do this car any justice, this car is sooooo clean, like one of the best finish jobs I've ever seen on anything. It's so immaculate it has what I'd consider an obsessive attention to detail. Kudos this man and his vision, I love it, still go back from time to time and look at the photos. Also, the colour grows on you, looks far better in person.
Always nice seeing some different engine conversions, esp bc its not a jdm, aussie or American engine lol. Very cool swap! But the amount of work Owner put into the car as a whole? Omfg, salute! Its just absolutely beautiful- and im not even a Nissan guy lol
This is such a good combination of classic beauty with modern engineering. I had a 240Z back in the 90s. It was not a good example, but was all I could afford at the time. After that I stopped messing around with cars until C19 hit. Then, I bought a cheap BMW E46 330CI and totally fell in love. This project is particularly interesting to me.
Great build!!! Each to their own!!! It is yours, build it, change it do what you want!!! It is part of a process to build a car that is truly uniquely yours!!! 😼😎
Way to keep a classic on the road, and the BMW powerplant conversion probably ran the same coin as an RB anyway, neither are cheap😂. In my limited BMW experience he's severley understating the frustrations that the electronics and wiring bring into your life😂. Sweet build, sacrelicious.
DDDAAAMMMNNN!!!! This is nice. All of you in Australia are on a different level man. This is nice I have seen guys put BMW engines in the S 30 cars but not very many. All I have to say this is nice. Nice nice. Over here in the United States, Los Angeles, California
This was a sick episode. Thanks for finding this gem and sharing it with us 👍 If I was to ask if it has air conditioning; I'd give you full permission to just slap me across the face lol
Best engine to use in the z chassis, ide have adapted front and rear suspension though 💪💪 e36 m3 is one of the best drivers cars ever built , the 6 speed would make it a better car but thats about all its missing is an overdrive gear , and the 240 shell is my favorite datto
2 door sports car classic with bmw motor....reminds me of a certain modern car with a legendary badge, do love a good z though moogs one is a favourite of mine this is pretty bloody cool though
Nicely done well balanced car. The only thing that stands out that I would change is the hot air intake right behind the radiator. The filter should be enclosed and air should come from the original location in front of the radiator. I have a friend who I helped build his Z car. It has an LS out of a Cadillac CTS V with the 6 speed transmission and a 300 ZX turbo differential.
Nice my parents bought my mom’s gray 240z at Whittier Datsun in Whittier Ca. Showroom car that had those wheels like the BBS wheels, front and rear spoilers that ran awesome. Wish I had that car. Would put BBS wheels on it and lower it.
My all time favorite, it's been a dream of mine for years to do a project with one of these. I almost bought one last year for $2,000 but there was just too much rust.
I wish these type of builds were covered more instead of the half built exhaust out the hood, gutted interior, no heater useless garbage that is regularly covered / built on TH-cam

I’m a huge Nissan and BMW guy, and this is beautiful
Every fullboost video is great but these owner / build videos are some of the best 👍👍
Glad you like them!
Couldnt agree more 💯
You guys interview very well. Keep up the great work!
2nd this! Been saying it for the last couple years! 🤙🤙
Great choice of vehicle and driveline.
As a former BMW tech, and fanatical about 70s Japanese cars, this is awesome!
Dave is a mate of mine and I've been lucky enough to drive his beautiful Z.
It really is a wolf in sheep's clothing!
you're still alive ;)
Fantastic build. I’ve had multiple Datsuns and later in life multiple BMWs including an E30 with a Brintech S54, 6 speed, R200 diff conversion. This Z is perfection. When you’re ready, sell it to me…….seriously. Love it 👌🏻
watched him build this over years in a z forum...good to see a proper detailed vid of it
That has to be one of, if not the neatest engine bays for a motor swap I've ever seen, every impressive.
One of the most tasteful
restorations lve seen..100 percent top notch..not relying on 6000 dollar wheels and tires for bling..looks brillant.
This is one classy , tasteful restomod. The BMW engine does not look out of place or overdone. Nice ride overall.
This isn’t a build I expected to love like I did. Very nice build
What an absolute stunning build
The attention to detail is amazing
Great car but its missing one thing, a CSL Carbon intake which would give it the noise your looking for!
I dont think theres space
This is an thorough, mindful build, ten out of ten full boost for publishing this👊
Bloody hell!!

Thanks Michael
What a spectacular build, huge credit to everyone involved and another great video from Full Boost!
i was expecting some grief in the comments but quality builds shuts the haters up
Envious of how impeccably built and spotless this is! And it sounds amazing inside and out.
Is heart warming to see that this car has been given all the love it deserves and some. Pristine project. Well done.!!
Thanks to Fullboost for reporting so well.
The engine bay looks SO good, and so factory and clean.
Saw this up close at BMW AU. Solid engineering, great driveline choice and quality fit and finish.
A credit to the owner.
Nice car and even better shirt David shout out to Al at the Skid Factory 👍🍻
Yep, big fan of Al and Woody @theskidfactory
ABSOLUTELY huge @theskidfactory fan all the way in Florida, USA.
He has done a unique build, sensational.
Forget all the haters and purest. This build is awesome. If it works and done well, good one you 👏👏👏
What an absolute ripper! Not something you'd normally see but I absolutely love it
Sound from it is like music to the ears, no stock RB ever sounded that good!
What a gorgeous build! Full credit to the owner.
Amazing build, from concept thru to execution. Balanced, powerful, clean, classy, graceful!!!
Awesome build perfect engine choice 👌
Perfectly done Dave
Thanks Pagers! Must catch up soon
E36 M3 powered 240Z.
Perfect combination of Dr Jakyll and Mr Hyde.
I like it has cable throttle and kept N/A as it should be.
Also it has same power as a factor LS1.
Perfect build David 💯
Totally agreed
Which is super impressive for a 30 year old 6 cylinder.
POS bmw motor
Only proper upgrade is an rb
The ls is also a far superior motor than anything bmw ever built . Bmw is junk. What a tragedy for this Nissan
@@ThorOdinson-zc2kq hahaha Nissan and Toyota needed turbos to just match the hp bmw inline 6s made NA. They're superior in every way
@@shifty1927 is that why billet 2jz and rb30 blocks put down 3200 plus hp in Australia? That’s right now. Bmw never made it past 1500 in any motor ever. Ever. That’s the m12 megatron 1.5 in qualifying turbo trim not race trim either. Race mode is 500-600hp less. We can do this all day .
Fantastic build
This is about as dream car as I could ever want. Great job.
Beautiful car....perfectly designed....I remember it from way back then.....you had a brilliant idea with the BMW engine...she sounds veeerrry confident now....original colour, too. A gem.
That is a special build, nice review boys!
Wow, admiration from England ! That looks the bollox and the engine bay is perfection Incredible 😎😎
I've seen this car in person, have photos of it.

Very Nice. Great looking S30
Credit to the owner and the build.. commitment and quality right to the end.
Beautiful build, thanks for sharing.
Execution of this car is flawless. Incredible.
Great build the car looks awesome and a BMW six was made to go in that car ..
No shortcuts ! Great build... well done !
A nice revvy 6 cyl in a old style coupe is mostly all i need in life!
Best engine swaps out there.
Always nice seeing some different engine conversions, esp bc its not a jdm, aussie or American engine lol. Very cool swap! But the amount of work Owner put into the car as a whole? Omfg, salute! Its just absolutely beautiful- and im not even a Nissan guy lol
Love this car! Very nice build. I like the chosen parts as well as the factory color.
This is such a good combination of classic beauty with modern engineering.

Great car and very nice resto!!!
Sensational build, well done!
What a beautiful build!
Sits nice in the bay.
Great build!!!
Each to their own!!! It is yours, build it, change it do what you want!!! It is part of a process to build a car that is truly uniquely yours!!! 😼😎
Amazing build!
Beautifully done - just right.
What a beautifuly done conversion I love it n/a too
Way to keep a classic on the road, and the BMW powerplant conversion probably ran the same coin as an RB anyway, neither are cheap😂.
In my limited BMW experience he's severley understating the frustrations that the electronics and wiring bring into your life😂.
Sweet build, sacrelicious.
Probably my favourite car on fullboost, despite the fact it has no boost.
How good, great set up
this thing is sick! well done!
Gorgeous car. Looks dead original. Love it.
Incredibly well-executed build. I'm very much a Nissan guy but have nothing but admiration for this.
Beautiful work ! 👌🏻

One of the best M engines. s50b32 🔥🔥 Wish we got them in the states. Always wanted to boost one.
awesome project, would be such a fun car to drive❤
Great viewing ! great build and info👍🇦🇺Top Stuff!
Goodonya
I love this car always loved the z series dattos and that is a perfect engine for it
Saw this at Wandin tonight, very cool bit of gear
This was a sick episode. Thanks for finding this gem and sharing it with us 👍
If I was to ask if it has air conditioning; I'd give you full permission to just slap me across the face lol
B is for build,,, whom I watch regularly,,, built a similar car from scratch.. Awesome to watch... Both..
What a sick car
ZOOM magazine did a red one of these over 20 years ago with a 2JZ swapped into it, I loved that thing and wish I owned it!
what a great idea , well done.
Best engine to use in the z chassis, ide have adapted front and rear suspension though 💪💪 e36 m3 is one of the best drivers cars ever built , the 6 speed would make it a better car but thats about all its missing is an overdrive gear , and the 240 shell is my favorite datto
super cool, love it 👌
thats a better choice than an rb26 tbh, more true to the original car
Very nice 240....tasty 👌
2 door sports car classic with bmw motor....reminds me of a certain modern car with a legendary badge, do love a good z though moogs one is a favourite of mine this is pretty bloody cool though
Real nice job 👍
tastefully done i like it
Hello from Europe
Nicely done well balanced car. The only thing that stands out that I would change is the hot air intake right behind the radiator.

That was mine in the 90’s you were in Luo. Very nice package
Nice my parents bought my mom’s gray 240z at Whittier Datsun in Whittier Ca. Showroom car that had those wheels like the BBS wheels, front and rear spoilers that ran awesome. Wish I had that car. Would put BBS wheels on it and lower it.
Absolutely perfect 🎉❤
My all time favorite, it's been a dream of mine for years to do a project with one of these. I almost bought one last year for $2,000 but there was just too much rust.
Definitely not the first to do this swap, but it is a nice example. I love the color too!
I’ve always dreamed of restoring a Volvo 240 form the early 80’s and using a BMW M50 as the engine.
Such a beautiful S30 and dude killed it when he put them stupid ass mirrors on
Genius, approved. 👌👍
That's just about perfect 0.5 off for the m badge on the back 👌
What no 1000hp RB 😂 beautiful car, well thought out build
Love driving up the dandy ranges
Some of the best driving roads close to a major city in Australia!
Flawless built big question how much ?
Carbon airbox on that and it'll be nothing but induction noise. Beautiful car.
If it was a stock Datsun 6 cylinder people would be bored to look at it. Would be just another 280Z. This is a beautiful swap. Very clean
Thats mint ❤
I wish these type of builds were covered more instead of the half built exhaust out the hood, gutted interior, no heater useless garbage that is regularly covered / built on TH-cam
