1 Year Update: 300zx KA24de

  • My 300zx project car has been running for exactly 1 year! I share what I've learned about the chassis, and even what it cost to build.
    The Nissan 300zx z32 is old enough to be a classic car. Due to the age and market, the value of Nissan 300zx z32 has dropped, making them great candidates for project cars or restoration projects. These cars can be found in the junkyard as well, making parts easier to find. After daily driving and building my project car for a year, I review how much it cost me to build and what I have learned along the way.

    the fact it's actually been a year is absolutely insane, it feels like it's been longer now i think about it. i can't wait to see the full car done, it's gonna be crazy.

    I honestly thought it would've been a bit less, but like you said the small things really do add up. Also, the flashbacks to the build take me right back to the winter when I first started watching. I'd have your playlists going out in the garage for as long as I could without freezing my 🍑 off.

    @waffle_chuter 2 дні тому +4

    I would have guess around 10k not including wheels and body kit. But 14 still doesn’t seem crazy because having to buy so many little things adds up to like buying one big purchase like ecu or exhaust etc. Honestly I’m not the biggest fan of the 300zx model as a whole, but I absolutely love yours. Probably the best 300zx out there in my opinion, and it’s still not even painted yet! 🤘🏻

    That sounds about right. lol Thought I could save some money by working on my own car and collecting parts from junkyards, but omg, definitely spent more in the last 2 years than the previous 13 combined taking to a shop. Don’t really know how that happened. Appreciate you being honest about your build number though!👍 P.s. Miss Fran adding some balance to the bro-heavy content, but I get it, sometimes you’ve gotta take a break😉

    Very respectfully, I thought the point of moding a older car of this generation was for saving money, at 14k plus body kit and wheels/tires, let's call it 17k. You can get some really cool cars for not much more. Even tuner type cars. V8 muscle cars for sure. Wrx type stuff. This guy is sooo good with a wrench he has saved himself a ton of money vs paying someone to do all this work. 17k kinda surprised me.
