Absolutely tickled that you are making a business of EV conversions. Best wishes that your hard work and knowledge pay off big time. Love your channel.
Something I really like about EV conversions is seeing the vehicles as OEM as possible. I don't know if the display can be personalized to make it as similar as possible to the original one. Love your videos!
Love the take on F&F for the title. This is an interesting and informative look into the 300ZX conversion, even for the abbreviated run-time. Looking forward to the next installment.
Fun stuff! I am a little jealous that you get to make it go. I can't wait to see how it comes out! Have you seen how compact the Lucid drive unit is? That would make an interesting build too. Thanks for sharing!
Will you be adding a firemens disconnect in case of car accident or fire and that can be easily accessible from the outside to disconnect batteries? Or any other safety measures?
I'm not sure about a "fireman's disconnect" as it is not a standard car. No fireman would know what to do or where to look. We will have disconnects or service switches with labels.
There are not many aftermarket NACS options as far as the charging port. I could make a custom one, but currently it could not work with the Tesla superchargers.
If you are already converting older vehicles to electric, there must be a possibility to keep the look and function of the console indicators? Personally, I am disgusted by screens in cars and would rather rip them out of the vehicle! I understand that they are necessary to check the condition of the vehicle, but I don't need it in front of me when I drive.
If my memory isnt off the brake pedal for the 350z is about the same as the 300zx. I use a gen1 Ibooster in my 350z and have a step file for a adapter plate to use the stock pedal with it. If its something ypu would be interested in (free ofcourse) :)
I’d love it if one of the ecm companies would develop a hybrid capable one. Aem is prolly about the closest. I’d love to do tesla out front and bmw out back on my build
They have the ability to do just that! I looked into using their ECU for my future Escape performance hybrid build, and they did have what was needed - but too costly and I would have to secure the ICE tune to load into their software for control. It just wasn’t where I was hoping it would be.
Man, that's really good parts. That motor is a beast!! I only have two questions: 1- how much did the car weighted before you striped it's parts? 2- What Toyota is that in the background? 3:00
@@electricsupercaryes, I know the hardware is capable, but is AEMs software up to par? I know the t2c controller produces 650. I just haven’t seen any power numbers from AEM.
I have a little curious question. Why have none of your cars till now have some sort of Fast Charging. Not like 200-300kw but something mild like 50kw. The batteries themselves should be plenty capable of handling that stress. Is there no suitable DIY charging solution for Selfmade EV's out there? Keep up the good work :)
I don't know if this is the right answer but it may have to do with the"handshake" protocols between the car and the fast charger. The fast charger must be able to recognize the car that's about to receive the charge, so if the cars battery management system software is not approved by a car manufacturer like Tesla or Ford, the fast charger won't recognize the car and initiate fast charging. It's probably to protect the hardware of the charging unit.
I always wanted a 3000gt vr4, had no idea those suckers cost more than a corvette in their day&weighed 3,700-4,1000# 😀 Better to just buy a new 2024 tesla m3p for 55k I think. Cheapest way to a 10s 4dr American made daily driver. 👍🏻 I keep waiting on someone to freaking do a tesla plaid rear du ev swapped elktromod setup with real working torque vectoring! 650-700hp weighs about the same as an old single large du and has those sweet c.f. wrapped dual plaid motors with torque vectoring. 😎
turns out Ill never get a chance to convert my car to ev.. even if I started to day with a huge budget .. I just found out my kidneys are gone... I went from planning a future build to now I guess im gonna see if I can get my property turned into a cemetery where I can be buried in my 67' El camino
I have a 90 300zx. Same car. Same color and interior. I swapped a stick and TT into it. Had it for 31 years. I also have AFX slot cars. I have played with them since 1972. I still to this day have my favorite slot car since 1972. I put it on my track and it goes. Just like the first day I had it. I wish I could say the same for my Z. Yes it is a labor of love, but it is still labor. One day I plan on converting my Z32(model # of the 300zx) to electric. I have been a fan since 1972 and can't understand why it took this long to become mainstream. I can't believe it is the same car as mine. I will hope for the best once it is completed. Thank you for doing it and thanks You Tube for having everything that my brain wishes it could see on video. Here is mine. ua-cam.com/video/CFG-xla5riw/v-deo.htmlsi=a6GOQA3MS-Wh-GOU

Thanks friend!
Second that.
Now the 300ZX is interesting. 600HP Tesla drive unit....
With crap weak axles 😂
New custom axles will be made!
Oh yeah he’s back on the Z and he picked up some awesome sponsors. Brandon’s a legend around here a lot of cool stuff going on over there.
So true!
You're a creative genius! 🎨 -- "Believe you can and you're halfway there.."
How badass AEM making aftermarket system for Tesla Motors.
Very cool!

Someone needs to make an aftermarket controller for the lucid so we can play with it

I figured you for a "Spoon engine" guy, overnighting parts from Japan.
LOL!!
Not a bad way to spent 10.000 dollars. Looking forward to sseing it all fit together. Good for you finding sponsors!
Thanks friend!
Another excellent vid! Hope you’re going to convert the BRZ/FRS in the background!
Maybe soon!
Nice. I was waiting to see more of this project. Can't wait for more.
More to come!
Is the 10k the retail price? Or did you reduce the price due to the sponsorships? Cool projects, i love seeing what can be done.
Great question
How exciting! Hard not to get gitty opening boxes for a project! (And hard not to get ahead of yourself!)
Ultimate car movies, right, it's been too long since I've watched Chitty chitty bang bang 😁
😅
Exciting to see all those parts come in. Looking forward to see what you'll do with the 300ZX!
You and me both!
It is fun to see all of the EV components! This $10K seems well spent. It is going to be a special EV and a unique classic sports car when it is done.
Thanks Dean!
Instant smash on the like button for that intro.
Nice!
Lol tripling the horsepower
You got it!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks Friend!
Would it be possible to do NACS on one of your conversions? And even if you could, would Tesla even let you use their charging points?
There are not many aftermarket NACS options as far as the charging port. I could make a custom one, but currently it could not work with the Tesla superchargers.

Bravo AEM! Great products.
Yes they are!
Great video! ❤
Thank you!!
Excellent.
@ForwardGuidance Thanks Friend!
Does the AEM controller really produce 600 HP?
The Tesla model S performance large drive unit can produce ~450kW (~600hp). The AEM inverter board controls the motor.
@@electricsupercaryes, I know the hardware is capable, but is AEMs software up to par?
I know the t2c controller produces 650. I just haven’t seen any power numbers from AEM.
My dream car movie the dodge ms4 the wraith car. But i really want to see that car with a really electric plataform to see how fast can made
Let's do it!

It is up to the customer. I am doing it on the Porsche. It is added cost and only really a benefit if you plan on road tripping.
I don't know if this is the right answer but it may have to do with the"handshake" protocols between the car and the fast charger. The fast charger must be able to recognize the car that's about to receive the charge, so if the cars battery management system software is not approved by a car manufacturer like Tesla or Ford, the fast charger won't recognize the car and initiate fast charging.

Can’t wait to see TCS off and this thing doing burnouts with 600 hp in just the rear axle. Insane.
Nice@
Awesome 😎😎😎
Well spent 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Best wishes 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you so much 😀
Well done🎉
this video is epic 🔥🔥🔥
where is the left foot pedal and the 60 gears manual transmission?? Fast&FuriousTM 😂
LOL!

650-700hp weighs about the same as an old single large du and has those sweet c.f. wrapped dual plaid motors with torque vectoring. 😎
To date...there is not an aftermarket controller for the Tesla Plaid drive units.
That was only 10k?
The good old days when $10k got you more than a cold air intake.
crate is def giving indiana jones arc
How does one go about getting ahold of you about EV conversations?
email me at electricsupercar@gmail.com
What a tease!!!
I’m guessing all those parts cost well North of $10K!!!
accounting for inflation
awesome))
Thank you! Cheers!
You should build an electric car, they said! Electric cars don't use many parts, they said! 😂
All of that for $10,000?
I hope the business pays off. I'll try and get enough money to get something commissioned.
That would be amazing!
👋👍
✌️
Wow, what a EV stuff these fossil race dudes got nowadays. Haven't looked at AEM since my bad burner days 😅
👍💪✌
✌️
keep uploading videos. loves your videos appreciate it ❤❤
Thank you! Will do!
