Car vertical doesn't seem that good - less than 10mins in to the video, you admit that car vertical would not have picked that crash up - making it USELESS. Same with half of Matt Armstrong's bent motors...
@@ryanshaw1984 thats because the people who crash it dont put it through insurance, like how matts lambo with 1000hp doesnt register as crashed, he says himself that he didnt put it through insurance as they would most likely catergorize it as a cat B

Ironically this is one of the things Clarkson said May would probably do if he got the chance with Top Gear back in the day, if I remember rightly. Personally I really enjoy the explanations too.
@@samuelgarrod8327 Can't really say something like that and start with "with all due respect". It's a pretty rude thing to say to someone. I do have a job and hobbies and I also enjoy these videos as I'm very much into cars. Why don't you get a new hobby instead of being rude to people on the internet, with all due respect of course.
You didn't do a ton to the car but somehow this feels like the most satisfying one so far. It feels much more realistic as well. Granted you got some free parts but it gives hope to people trying to build on a budget.
You take the blue pill, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Honestly one of the highlights of my week when you guys upload! Saw one dude complaining in the comments but this channel is so unbelievably new, idk how people are expecting some ‘perfect formula’. Keep doing what you’re doing! 👊
This is why I come back every week to watch you guys, to see a car being treated better than ever in it's life and cleaning it bit by bit makes a satisfying feeling of resolve. It just feels right! Grand Turismo 4 spec indeed!
I love how you explain how parts work and how to replace them, it means people off the street can try doing this. ❤❤ Have a great week Wil, Edwin and ben.
Damn, congrats. This has been my favorite TDC car, and just car from all of the AutoAlex channels. I own a 2007 350z in the US, 6MT coupe in Daytona Blue. It's been good, just put it away for the winter to avoid rusting it out. Finding the radiator support presents the biggest issue with these HR 350z's, which is that not every part/mod will fit the newer cars. Not just for engine or transmission, but also 2006 and up had a different interior, different bumper and so on. Finding a fuel distributor for my Z, I had to source it from a 2013 Infiniti since the HR motor only came in Longitudinal applications whereas the DE could fit in transverse applications. Good luck, Will. I'm rooting for ya
this channel is the bollocks, i love this channel just wish there was longer videos, never long enough! but i appreciate all your guys effort, top top top blokes
This is the type of content I like, it's clear to see will genuinely loves this car, doing the little details to make it as nice as possible. Genuinely adding value and making it better. Much more enjoyable than buying something for £500, poking holes in it, using it for 1 video, then scrapping it.
Thank you for taking care of this legend, you got really lucky with the 350z. Im looking for 5 Years now, and never found one arround that Budget. Love The Channel have Fun with the beast
7:00 omg that made me laugh…..the statement, then the pause and the look, then the drilling. 😂😂😂😂 Will is a comedy genius. Edit: and 10:06 thanks for the TG Easter egg👍
Yes! This is the kind of content I like. So relatable with an achivable nice car, that a normal personal may afford to buy. Serviced, fixed up and cleaned. Thank you and well done! 🖤
HUGE improvements! car looks classy again, excellent sound out the back, and it's good to see it making the power that it should be making for its age.
I havent ever been a fan of the 350z, mainly because of all the super widebody builds that look identical to each other. But this is one of the simplest yet cleanest ones i have seen
The car cleaned up real well. Love that you didn't upgrade it to just look cool but took the sensible approach to actually end up with a good car. A little test drive at the end would have been a nice addition!
I so love love love this channel! I've learnt so much just by watching, to the point you guys have encouraged me to try doing this for myself! Keep the great content coming guys, you're bloody amazing!
A relatively new subscriber to you guys, the car content is great and the humour is right up my street 🤪, looking forward to the Porsche mod video 👏 🥳.
William you are spot on with the headlights there’s only 1 thing you missed as far as I’m aware I may be wrong but.. before the cut polish you could have de contaminated the headlights first and the yellow will wash out also a very fine wet sand before the cut ❤ keep it up lads i can confirm you are actually my favourite channel to watch ❤
I would suggest putting in a bottle of fuel injector cleaner (Redex). It can usually free up to 10HP in NA cars and it’s extremely cheap. Easy to do within your remaining budget. Loving the series guys, keep it up!
Great video guys. 20 year 350z enthusiast here. If you need any more parts give me a shout. Got that HR front radiator support, radiator and accessories should you decide to swap them over. Also the HR bumper reflectors. Paul 👍🏼
I love the new video guys, the best part of the week for me is when you guys up load. One thing about CVertical though, they are about 3x the price of other checkers.
The headlights try using 400 grit sandpaper all the way up to 2000 and then cut, will make them way clearer. Bumper off using an orbital sander would be the best. You can go lower or higher grit depending on the condition and scratches, i did 180 grit on a polo healight that got into a battle with a wall and it turned out like new
To get 100bhp (20%) gain on my 5.0 V8 NA Mustang it took an entire exhaust, long tube headers, intake manifolder, throttle body, air intake, air filter, injectors, a fuel pump and a tune. It would have been cheaper to supercharge it and make 65% power gain. Unfortunately driving a 700bhp RWD on our roads, with our weather would be like watching an amateur perform muppets on ice.
@@thessaloniousbadonkious Usually no. Since most people except for hardcore tuners only understand BHP, the rolling road measures WHP, and then lets instructs the tech, to let the car roll in neutral. It measures the rolling resistance, and adds the two numbers together. So the number you (should) see on the diplay SHOULD be comparable to the manufacturers BHP claim. (SOME rolling roads even adjust the number to weather conditions)
I'm still surprised that you regularly release videos with so much happening in them. You did a service, some mods, clean up and a remap. On other channels this would have been 3 videos spread over a whole month.

I still think buying a cheap super dirty car and then telling Edwin he has 24hrs to clean the whole car for a prize would be a funny video
Poor man, he would get PTSD from all the parts he missed cleaning.
They could use one of the pickup trucks the autoalex lads have when they get done with that series. I’m sure they are bound to be dirty
and the prize is a clean car LOL
Great idea. Needs to be 8 hours though…. Give the guy a challenge 😂
@lagundafire I think you can give Edwin a week, he will still spend 6 hours on 1 brake caliper and not be done
I love the way Edwin explains how parts work before installing them. I've actually learned a fair bit from this man
Ironically this is one of the things Clarkson said May would probably do if he got the chance with Top Gear back in the day, if I remember rightly. Personally I really enjoy the explanations too.
Yup, the banter and dick jokes are always funny but a bit of genuine information sprinkled in is really nice
Agree, I really like this too.
Solid agree!
@@corrodedI feel like with James May though it’d become a lecture you’d have to sit through compared to brief explanation + install 😂
Nothing more satisfying on UA-cam than seeing a tired old cheap car get spruced up with some good cleaning and smart choices on parts replacement.
Agreed
It's such a wholesome thing, the way Edwin says "Will!" when he gets excited or encourages him. Proper friends.
Best part of the week. A TDC video dropping!
Seriously. Any day they drop my day is instantly improved
I look forward to these days.
With all due respect, how tiny must your life be? They post every Monday and there's the second channel stuff too. Get a hobby or job.

Yea, but you won't get that 350z for that price.
I don't care what anyone says, These guys are one of my all time fave automotive UA-camrs. Funny, informative and creative videos.
TDC Supremacy
1:21 click here for TIE-fighter sounds.

Beautiful
i guess i'm not the only one who noticed it :D
😂
bruh this deserves a pin 🤣
Another video inspiring me to buy a car (with money I don’t have) and upgrade it (with skills I also don’t have). Loving it!
Yep same boat. Then I realise that i only ever watch on UA-cam and never do!
Yup same...been upgrading my car 4 years now, almost getting somewhere 🤫😂😂

I've figured it out.... Edwins cars don't work because he spends his time cleaning, he just doesn't show us.

Fellas this nissan is like cool and all BUT THAT PEUGEOT IN THE BACKGROUND LADS THATS WHAT WE NEED TO SEE. Give us the boxxy content we need.

Loving the podcast 👌 you and auto Alex are the only podcasts I have ever listened to . Now listening to you guys while at work sooths the soul 😅
highly recommend 'the carmudgeon show' and 'the smoking tire podcast' also Chris Harris and his friends have a lovely little car pod 👍
I do like even basic servicing of a car both of you can make it so entertaining
As youtube certified doctor i can tell you that that pill is viagra.
A 350z HR in that condition even with 300,000km would go for 10k where I live. What amazing value you got in this deal.
Genuinely great job fixing up the 350Z! That looks lovely.
The car cleaned up real well. Love that you didn't upgrade it to just look cool but took the sensible approach to actually end up with a good car.
A little test drive at the end would have been a nice addition!
One of very few channels I hit Like before I've even watched, bangers every time
TDC is the best thing about mondays 😍😍
Keep up the good work brother ♥️
7:56 on z1 they sell a brand new radiator core support for ~$306 USD or ~240 quid. Should check them out if you wanna upgrade the 350z more👍🏽
This is series has me stoked I love both of these cars
I was so looking forward to this video
The exhaust you guys put sounds very well. I like it, it gives it that oem sporty sound
This is exactly what I wanna be watching on UA-cam, nice one, thank you ✌️
This channel just keeps on getting better and better all the time. Keep up the awesome work!
Absolutely love this channel! Top stuff. Literally reminds me of me and my mates tinkering and messing around with cars. Proper good stuff!
Absolutely love that 350z and the sound from the exhaust is perfection 👌🏻✊🏻❤️
First time coming across this channel and thoroughly enjoyed the video of the Nissan zed! Cheers mate from the US.
I so love love love this channel! I've learnt so much just by watching, to the point you guys have encouraged me to try doing this for myself! Keep the great content coming guys, you're bloody amazing!
Of all the recent car channels that spun off from other channels, you guys have definitely become my favourite
A relatively new subscriber to you guys, the car content is great and the humour is right up my street 🤪, looking forward to the Porsche mod video 👏 🥳.
Just sat down for my post work poo. Perfect timing
Only a fool poops on their own time.
poop at work, get paid, passes time, saves your own bog roll costs.
boss earns a dollar, I earn a dime, that's why I shit on company time
Unless you’re stuck before work 😢 No time to poop lol. Back to back teaching.. “OK kids, watch a video. I’ll be back in 20 minutes” 😂
22 minutes of pooing ? Fkh .
William you are spot on with the headlights there’s only 1 thing you missed as far as I’m aware I may be wrong but.. before the cut polish you could have de contaminated the headlights first and the yellow will wash out also a very fine wet sand before the cut ❤ keep it up lads i can confirm you are actually my favourite channel to watch ❤
my sti 340r has a scorpion exhaust as the upgrade option and it sounds great! They do make great exhausts
7:01
Absolute maniac.
Love it!
7:17 - Edwins laugh perfectly reminded me of James Mays😂😂
Loving these vids

Sending cool vibes from Finland! Great video once again, you showed us that devil's on the details. Looks double or triple the price now! :)
You can feel the excitement you have about this car! I bet the drive home was ace!
I always look forward to watching these videos weekly, great content, keep it up!
man this is just top notch content
The biggest improvement was definitely the badges. The car looks so much better with stock badges (you know, the same ones as on micra, leaf and juke)
Great video guys. 20 year 350z enthusiast here. If you need any more parts give me a shout. Got that HR front radiator support, radiator and accessories should you decide to swap them over. Also the HR bumper reflectors. Paul 👍🏼
Guys. Honestly it is the most satisfying episode on your channel yet. It is nice to know you have a taste after all. 👍
this was just on my suggested and so happy i clicked on it, great vid! love the detail!
brilliant video!!
your channel will explode if you carry on with quality like this!!!
That is a great job. Nothing silly, just good ol' sympathetic restoration plus. Very nice.
Glad to see Edwins cleaning OCD is back 👍🏻
Nice work guys!
Dinner and new TDC episode after work what a day to be alive
😂😂 great vid lads. Unfortunately I missed you both on Saturday at classic car show. I assume you were both in weatherspoons 😅😅😅
Loving this channel more than I initially expected I would. TDC may overtake BBC on mans top searches soon.
Ya get me 😉 big eastenders fan so I am.
I love the new video guys, the best part of the week for me is when you guys up load.
One thing about CVertical though, they are about 3x the price of other checkers.
Even more, they’re shite but 99% of YT sponsor companies are just overpriced garbage with better marketing than product
16:00 i always find those disks smell somewhat sweet. For alloys we used those disks bc the lead would leave residue
Best video and save of a car I've have see you boys do.
Great work 👏
0:55 nice 205 GTI there
Beeem waiting for the next video, keep up the hard work lads
absolute pros of the game
Man i love this channel, also i could do with a cream podcast everyday!!!
I like this channel so much, I mute the ads instead of skipping them. Thank you boys.

What a transformation 👏🏾. Definitely sounds better
Weekly vid drops are not enough! We want more!!

This is all fair and expected, but this specific engine is still about 20 bhp down from what Nissan claims it makes. That is quite a lot.
@@AnalogSins Isn't the dyno showing WHP, not BHP? VQ35HR 350 should make about 305 BHP.

This was a very James May set of modifications.
STANDARD!
Love a good TDC video thanks guys
Top tip if you DO get polish on the rubber, solvent spirit wipe takes it straight off.
its a good monday when TDC uploads
Loving TDC videos!!!! Car is looking and sounding ace now well done!!! Healthy gain on an NA too!!!! Got me wanting to get one!!!!
I agree rather have the scorpion exhaust with that sound it’s as Edwin said, sounds more need for speed.
I personally would freak out about the two seats having different stitching (one red, one black) - but overall this thing just turned out beautifully!
Cracking job as always fellas💪
This channel has me creasing every single upload 😂😂
