wing is 100% the move, love that bodyline swept waaay back there, bringing that 2000s style in full effect, hope to get some similar vibes in my build soon
That wing from the side makes it look like a killer whale which is above great shark.. Mike did a mean machine to play with the big boys with big BHP, turbos, intercoolers awesome stuff !!! Love the passenger chill Duck vibe while Mike was drifting ! 🦢
Midnight blue with chrome wheels would be absolutely killer ! if would have at least that sparkling metallic green fully sorted out it would be ok as well but maybe with gold wheels
Wing goes hard , turbo goes harder😂 ❤ curious who else came for the 240 rebuild and stayed for the everything else 😂 amazing vibes love seeing what all the homies are up too not just Mike's projects one your now of my fav channels!!!
Hey yo Mike, you and the other guys are living the dream of many of us, including me, and we enjoy so much seeing you making it real! Cheers from Italy, never stop dreaming!
couple of friends and I decided to make a drive up to that event to see the KAZ and Gloria in person, easily the best decision we made. the cars are even more beautiful in person, cant wait to see them again the next chance I get!
The wing is perfect and flows flawless with the vehicles design, definitely worth the upgrade. You have a great group of friends who are unlike most other car guy channels out here, all that macho talk, cursing, inflated egos, unnecessary laughter, irrelevant jokes, and cockiness is absent in your group of friends. Keep it up.
The fact you've just turbo'd a junkyard engine in a week, and did an event with no major teething problems is a serious credit to your and the others lads abilities! Cars looking awesome man! 😎 Wing is just dripping 90's style, love it!!
Bro that spoiler is so sick. It adds so much to the styling of the car and flows with the body lines so well. Can’t wait to see this thing all one color 😍
I normally hate wings unless they are functionally required, but that one fits the car perfectly and it transforms the look of the car in every positive way. I wish I had that one on my 91 TT back in the day!!!!
Looks like it's time for some dual electric fans and some underbody panels to guide the air thru the intercooler/rad and install a oil cooler. Maybe also wrap the exhaust with a heat wrap and a turbo wrap to cut down on the underhood heat
The build is coming along great. Keep up the great work. I would contact the clamp manufacturer and see if they can warranty the ones that fell off or see if the have any ideas why they fell off when they shouldn't. Definitely don't forget to weld or roll a bead for the air filter piping and upgrade filter when you get a chance
Happy birthday, Mike! Never thought I'd see a duck in a turboed ka 300z that's a first 😭 i Personally Like the wing glad the car runs like a champ and as always looks very good! 🙏🏻
im generally not a wing guy, but your car actually needed that, it really does compliment the rest of the kit not to mention all the work under the hood.
As a KA owner this is the push i needed to finish out the project i have. Been following since the S13 build so not very long but always loved what you’re doing Mike. Stay dangerous man!
Wow you really hustled to get this thing going, can’t believe how well it performed. I wonder if other people have had issues with those clamps, I have never seen that before. The wing is perfect too, little bit of early 2000s rice but it’s way too cool. Have never wanted a 300zx so badly. Thank you for the half hour long video too!!! Great music as always as well
One suggestion for the AN lines where you put the heat protector, on the race cars to make it a bit more neat and clean we put a piece of heatshrink tape and it will hold it in place as well! 0:44
Pre 100k Gang Wya??? Seriously dude, seeing your progress is insane!!! Being able to witness the progress of the 240 and the Z from the beginning is awesome. You're a big inspiration for me and Im sure for many other ppl, keep doing what your doing man. 🤙
Coming home from work and seeing you've uploaded always makes my day; Seeing you pushing on and grinding for your builds really inspire me to keep at it with my own 💪
oh god this thing already has some power and it sounds, drives and look so nice... you're absolutely killin it and it goes sideways like an arrow now, oh my god... i've got smile on my face and tears in my eyes all over the video and i'm so proud of you and your friends to make this car that way... thank you for this type of content, absolutely love it
Mike, this is one of the best cars I've ever seen. I wish I still had my truck to turbo it, but I recently got in a collision sad but will be restored. Love the build and keep it up, best car.
4:43 Reminds me of my friend and I after we installed a front mount intercooler kit on his 2016 STI right before a 2 hour road trip, went for a pull on the on ramp about halfway through and blew the hot side pipe off the turbo because the clamp wasn't tight enough, 20 minutes of burning our hands on the turbo later and we were back on the road
The wing is absolutely KILLER! Completely changed the look and made it complete ! The whole lip kit and the wing are just so nice I can not wait to see this car fully one color please stay the oem color! ❤ can’t wait to get my s14 resprayed. It’s oem emerald green. Similar to this I believe the z after just checkin was called cobalt green pearl
Your philosophy of internals before externals; Drives well before it looks good, makes this thing an absolute sleeper! Would not take much at all to be able to safely boost the engine.
The issue with the clamps may be that there's not much room for flex in your system. When the engine twists under torque or any movement, the stresses are applied to the weakest point which are the clamps. Maybe look at introducing points that allows for some flex and movement
If you want a great 3" filter for a good price, Walmart has a partnership with K&N now. They have the K&N select 2.5", 3", and 4" cone filters for about $50 now. I'm running one on my 2003 Honda Accord V6 manual now, and it's simply put a great filter at a great price. They also come with a nice wide stainless steel clamp, but you can always get a different clamp if you feel like it :)
So to fill that open area where the front grille cover thing used to be. I know you said you needed to run an oil cooler to keep it functioning, I’d weld some brackets onto an oil cooler and fit the oil cooler in that spot and spray the OG Nissan logo on the cooler so that way there’s still air passing through to the filter.
Honestly even before boosting the Z it was always a good daily drive and car overall, now with it boosted it is really a great car and fun to drive too. At this point use the other Z as a parts car cuz like guys he already has a good Z!!
wing is 100% the move, love that bodyline swept waaay back there, bringing that 2000s style in full effect, hope to get some similar vibes in my build soon
The dent in the oil pan should help with style also.. Who needs to pick up oil, oil is so over rated
@@SpaceRanger187good thing it’s just a ka
That was awesome I'm so glad it went well.
That wing from the side makes it look like a killer whale which is above great shark..
Mike did a mean machine to play with the big boys with big BHP, turbos, intercoolers awesome stuff !!!
Love the passenger chill Duck vibe while Mike was drifting ! 🦢
I would like the wing more if it didn't stick out so far beyond the hatch.
The highlight of the video was the duck and the children saying “oh a spinny wheel”
"Don't touch it" 🤣🤣🤣
the duck was straight up BALLIN while slidin. chillest mf i ever seen
Gangster duck ! love it.. 🦢
That 300zx painted will look absolutely unreal!!!
Midnight blue with chrome wheels would be absolutely killer !
if would have at least that sparkling metallic green fully sorted out it would be ok as well but maybe with gold wheels
It's going to be so weird seeing so many "finished" projects next to the Gloria
@@istvanlorinczi2817 His neighbors would appreciate that even more.. ;o)
i swear those kind of wings look good on almost any old car. one of the big wings that actually look good
Wing goes hard , turbo goes harder😂 ❤ curious who else came for the 240 rebuild and stayed for the everything else 😂 amazing vibes love seeing what all the homies are up too not just Mike's projects one your now of my fav channels!!!
Ps: help Mike find a fan shroud for the Z!
26:20 love the drifting gs300
Fellow KAT enthusiasts, Ive been waiting for this day sooo patientlly.
Same.
Ricer miata linked up with orion again and they have a Ka t 240 they built
wing is 100% the move, LETS GOOOO
Hey yo Mike, you and the other guys are living the dream of many of us, including me, and we enjoy so much seeing you making it real!
Cheers from Italy, never stop dreaming!
Thats what I was thinking too
Kippis to that from Finland! 🍻
That drifting duck absolutely made my day. Thx for the laugh
Thanks for getting my and my friends in the vid it was so awesome to meet you definitely worth the trip 17:54
couple of friends and I decided to make a drive up to that event to see the KAZ and Gloria in person, easily the best decision we made. the cars are even more beautiful in person, cant wait to see them again the next chance I get!
Let's freaking go! So hyped to finally run some tandems with the Z! also 355, the official street tuning road of the west suburbs lmao.
@@DingDongDrift literally!! 😅
Bruv really chillin 25:45
should make use of the cover plate above the intercooler and make some ducting to force more air through it

It’s crazy that this thing was a roller not that long ago, and here it is doing skids with a Turbo KA. Wild!
I didn’t like the wing at first but i see the vision and its grown on me
At first I was a no on the wing, But seeing it scoot around the track I'm sold! Def a keeper.
Awesome upgrade! Slowly getting the build ready for paint! It's going to look so weird when it's one color for its first time under your ownership.
I literally just yelled out to myself "let's goo!" when I saw you uploaded a new video. Love your content brother 😁
+1 for the wing
Love the wing. Reminds me of my wing on my 1982 280 zx turbo
Bro, you have the sickest 300Z on the planet!!! Hands down!!! 🤩
Love the wing. The saying "looks like it's moving even when standing still" applies here.
the wing reminds me of a teggy, that's probably why mike loves it so much, kind of a call back to his up coming
the wind is freaking awesome, don’t know why but it reminds me of a daytona
I always liked the z but i think i just fell in love from seeing the drift clips and the wing honestly fits better than expected
The fact you've just turbo'd a junkyard engine in a week, and did an event with no major teething problems is a serious credit to your and the others lads abilities! Cars looking awesome man! 😎 Wing is just dripping 90's style, love it!!
Keep going and don't give up, you are a great inspiration! Thanks to you I had the courage to buy my S13 and now I'm living the dream!
Bro that spoiler is so sick. It adds so much to the styling of the car and flows with the body lines so well. Can’t wait to see this thing all one color 😍
whoever was filming needs a raise😂

The wing is sick and the turbo kit came out so good. I’m so happy you went with Artech manifold, and a Garrett turbo 🔥🤙🏻
im generally not a wing guy, but your car actually needed that, it really does compliment the rest of the kit not to mention all the work under the hood.
As a KA owner this is the push i needed to finish out the project i have. Been following since the S13 build so not very long but always loved what you’re doing Mike. Stay dangerous man!
The wing is the chef's kiss. DO NOT remove it. Soooo good.
Tim is the goat

At 28:46 I’ve been watching him fixing his car for so long I forgot that he’s a real driver 🥶🥶🥶
This is why I love UA-cam.
Bro your car is the best looking one in the event
Drift Brake, Oil Coolers, Lambda Sensors, Gauges next!!!
Happy Birthday Mike 🎉
Once the Z is all paint match it's going to be insane!
I do like it without the wing. But now that it’s on… I’m diggin it. I agree with your buddy, this is my new favorite car!
One suggestion for the AN lines where you put the heat protector, on the race cars to make it a bit more neat and clean we put a piece of heatshrink tape and it will hold it in place as well! 0:44

Every video uploaded is a gift. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
the wing looks awesome, the turbo KA makes all the right noises and it is awesome to see a Z32 drifting
Super exciting!! Wing couldn't go on till she was boosted,, perfectly prepared rice.
Honestly out of all the cars at the drift event I like the 300zx most, the body lines and wing look so incredible
Oh holy that wing was so the move, this whole video was 🤌
What a video, honestly this Z is sick and will 100% be a car you remember when you're old. What a beaut.
Coming home from work and seeing you've uploaded always makes my day; Seeing you pushing on and grinding for your builds really inspire me to keep at it with my own 💪
oh god this thing already has some power and it sounds, drives and look so nice... you're absolutely killin it and it goes sideways like an arrow now, oh my god... i've got smile on my face and tears in my eyes all over the video and i'm so proud of you and your friends to make this car that way... thank you for this type of content, absolutely love it
There is nothing as beautiful as this.
Just finished watching the 2 hour rebuild video, the 300 zx is sick man!
the wing even tho without it look clean but with this whole bodykit i still think look awesome with it! :)
It’s finally done! The trim coming off mid pull is hilarious! Can’t wait to see the outside starting to come together now that the insides done
I Love the Look of the Z, it turned out so well
The drift footage with the song choice was spectacular
Crazy how much a turbo changes this thing. Absolutely the best build on the channel. I love the 240 but I mean come on. The Z!! Freaking nuts
Mike, this is one of the best cars I've ever seen. I wish I still had my truck to turbo it, but I recently got in a collision sad but will be restored.
Love the build and keep it up, best car.
I didn't know how to feel about the wing when you first got it, but now seeing it on the car it looks amazing
4:43 Reminds me of my friend and I after we installed a front mount intercooler kit on his 2016 STI right before a 2 hour road trip, went for a pull on the on ramp about halfway through and blew the hot side pipe off the turbo because the clamp wasn't tight enough, 20 minutes of burning our hands on the turbo later and we were back on the road
THE WING LOOK AWESOME!!! And now it's turbo NO WAYY!! Good progress!!
The wing is absolutely KILLER! Completely changed the look and made it complete ! The whole lip kit and the wing are just so nice I can not wait to see this car fully one color please stay the oem color! ❤ can’t wait to get my s14 resprayed. It’s oem emerald green. Similar to this I believe the z after just checkin was called cobalt green pearl
I don't know what's wrong with me but I love the mis matched beater look, it has a story to tell and soul
The wing change everything!!!!
This car will be a beauty with a new paint...
I love it.
The wing gives almost an old school Trans AM feel. I dig it on the ZX

I like the look of a clean z with no spoiler. That said, with the body kit and the turbo it totally fits the build and looks good!
The duck drifting drifting was the best part of the whole video hands down 😂 25:21
the wing gives me cyberpunk vibes for some reason, such a cool build man keep it up
I dont care what anyone says, the wing is badass 👍🏾 and the over look and sounds are amazing
THAT WAS SUCH A FAST TURNAROUND brb gonna go watch the last episode real quick and get caught up 🏃
So to fill that open area where the front grille cover thing used to be. I know you said you needed to run an oil cooler to keep it functioning, I’d weld some brackets onto an oil cooler and fit the oil cooler in that spot and spray the OG Nissan logo on the cooler so that way there’s still air passing through to the filter.
240ZX looks like it handles like a dream now
👌👌
I didn't usually comment, but I'm super stoked for you. Such a sick car and build.
Easily my fave build on youtube rn just like how real it is
Now it needs paint, that wing goes hard, it matches how bumper stands out a bit, matches body kit, good call with it
Came for the video. Stayed for the wing. Duck was a bonus. Love these videos, super motivating.
I don’t usually like wings on any car but that one looks good. Car has come a long way. You should be proud bro.
Hell fucking yeah dude! I’m on vacation right now but still enjoying the vids, been waiting ages for this turbo KA
yoo love this car, maybe get some old m3 side mirrors for the 2000s look
This Z envolves so fast. I bet its so much fun to drive, enjoy🎉
So happy for you
Wing hiding the extra length of the 2+2 body and looks better to me. 2+0 z32 no wing looks super clean
Car looks AMAZING with the wing and full kit!! Your car definitely looked the coolest drifting that track. Great work, my friend. ❤
ttops off while drifting is such a mood
Honestly even before boosting the Z it was always a good daily drive and car overall, now with it boosted it is really a great car and fun to drive too. At this point use the other Z as a parts car cuz like guys he already has a good Z!!
cant get over ow good the z looks fully kitted now. so sick
bro i aint ever seen aduck in a drift car. you could tell they were mad chill too. tahts amazing!
That wing looks sooooo clean! It's so nostalgic
Wasn’t a fan of it at first! But the side profile at ‘the spot’ made me fall in love! Looks mint. Sounds mint, just needs the paint to match!
