MY 240sx IS BACK FROM THE DEAD
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- I have been repairing and restoring my Nissan 240sx project car for the past year! I can't believe how far and how fast this restoration has happened! Fitting the 180sx type x kouki wing on the hatch was just the icing on the cake. The Nissan Silvia side skirts fit amazing, which was a huge relief.
After aligning the car, it drove absolutely amazing. I couldn't be happier with the progress made on this 240sx S13. All the hard work is starting to pay off and I can finally enjoy driving it again!
I spent the last 7 years building this 1990 Nissan 240sx from the ground up by myself. I swapped out the KA24e for a KA24de. Then once more for a RB25det out of a R34 Skyline and couldn't be happier. I have also converted the 240 to right hand drive, (which ended up saving my life!) After installing a few drift parts; such as a hydro E - Brake, and dual rear calipers, welded diff, solid suspension bushings and more, the car handled amazing. Surprisingly this S13 was able to drift and stay sideways perfectly despite the damage that was done to it.

the amount of effort you put into fixing your 240sx is insane, and its so amazing to see how far its come
Yea ikr

@@dannyipwn1203 It's a USDM 240sx converted to a RHD.
Frl..I'm glad I was here to witness this gem😩
@@dannyipwn1203it would only be a 180 if it was from Japan,he converted his into one
Watching this channel has given me a new confidence to tell my friends to keep their projects, even when it seems hopeless. Patience and a good attitude is really all it takes. Thank you Mike for being a gem
Your stories are very inspiring and fun to watch.
The 180/240 owners in Japan are looking out for you too!
🙏
@@PrizzaMike Who knows Mike.. maybe some day you manage to do a trip to Japan to source some cool parts for your cars ?
Think of it and.. When you'll decide to do it, take us along with you in a trip vlog.. ! maybe meet with SAMMIT.. & others..
Anyway !!! Shout out for you.. Big like for anything you do Mike, we watch you from Europe..
@@poplaurentiu4148 I most definitely want to visit Japan someday! It's on the to do list! 😁
LETS GO, WAKE UP PRIZZA POSTED🎉🎉😊
Same
Honey wake up Prizzamike posted a new video
Man this journey of the 240 from a viewer's perspective is quite astonishing to say the least, I can only begin to imagine how the journey of this car has been for you and its still ongoing, I hope the dent on it gets pulled and we can witness this beauty return to its former glory🙏
Dude as soon as I saw the title my eyes lit up, I could cry 😭
I'm super happy for you, it's been a journey and I really look forward to the heights you'll keep taking your build(s) to. Lots of love ❤
I hope that there are some one that is watching your channel that can dip and save the car from rusting after all this work🤟👍
I’ve been watching this from the beginning and all I gotta say is how proud of you I am man. The dedication and work you’ve put in to bringing back this car from the dead. The damage this thing took was unimaginable and to see how it sits today after all the work and progress you’ve shared with us is bitter sweet. Keep it up man
That 240sx s13 looks like the old days❤
Mike I just wanna say, Thank you for all the content on the 240 instead of getting rid of it, you have inspired me to actually want to buy one myself just by watching this series, Thank you!
That's great to hear man! You got this 🔥🤘
I remember watching you pull it on the frame machine. I thought to myself “man that car is so far gone” I had no clue that it would come so far. I am so happy for you to see it finally come together. It makes me feel bad when I try to fix rust on my s13 and it doesn’t turn out that great lol, here this man rebuilt his entire car.
After all this work this car deserves a complete respray , engine bay , trunk , inside the car outside ….. it deserves it , I was surprised when you through the windows on before doing paint
You should be so damn proud of yourself basically pulling off the impossible with this rebuild! The crash a year ago is what made me find your channel and your content never disappoints. Keep it up 👍
How wonderful ! The 240 will return stronger and more beautiful than ever
HUGE again HUGE respect for you to not let this car go, and saved it from the death. I think other people would throw the car away and buy a new one. But you have made it. I really like this mentality. Never stop progressing, you are the best Mike. Peace! 🚗💨
Mike proved something that not only car people need to hear but people in general. Never let your dreams die, they only stop when you do. Anything is possible when you never give up. Most people would’ve taken this accident on the chin and moved on. This dude didn’t see it as a loss, but a minor set back and look at it now. The amount of respect I have for this dude is immense, and not just car guys but people in general can learn to never give up on anything by watching this guy. I wish I had this build series when I wrecked my Camaro, I’d still have it. Never again.
Congarts dude. Really inspirational. Exited to see you enjoy the car once more.
Thanks for the words at the end, it really helps to work further!
And congratulations on the first refueling))
I’m sure the car is happy to be with its 240 bros again instead of being crushed like the whole world begged you to do… so happy to see you make it this far
I give you credit kid, I was skeptical this car would ever go back together. But you sure surprised this old man, congrats!
I can't believe how far you've come with this car. it was amazing seeing it properly assembled on the road again. so cool!
Been watching since the crash and seeing this thing back on the road gave me chills man. It's so amazing seeing all the effort and crazy processes you went through to bring the car back when almost anyone else would've just cut their losses. You're such a down to earth and genuine guy and the way you explain every step of the process so clearly means even a novice car guy like myself can follow along and learn a thing or two and i really love that. These videos are such an inspiration to me and so many others to follow their dreams and to never give up no matter how crazy the goal might seem. Keep up the amazing work Mike I'm excited to see whatever the future holds for you. 🤍
I’ve watched every vid from the beginning an I’m still amazed how it came out an the amount of work you put in keep up the great videos
You’re the main reason I continue to fix and work on my car
Be proud of yourself Mike, most people would have left the 240 for dead. It so so deserved being resurrected for saving your life. And it's allowed you as an individual to grow in ways in you probably didn't imagine before the trauma of the wreck. You got this man, AWESOME! It would be neat if you could do a collaboration with Bodevision, but Florida is a long ways from where you are. Enjoy your Summer!
i love how you never gave up on her. this car will be back to final form soon.
I had a smile watching this whole video, feels like the rebuild journey is over but just a few more steps to go! Great job Mike!
The Phoenix has risen! It’s so nice seeing it back on the road!!
man im so happy for you, this thing is coming along so nicely
Thanks for stopping by 🙏. Glad we were able to get you squared away.
Thanks for the straightest alignment! 🙏
The car lasted more than a day this time 😅
(The crash happened right after it was aligned)
I am so stoked to see the 240 looking like a car again, and I'm incredibly happy for you! Your vids bring me true happiness and inspire me to follow my passion for cars! You rock!
The fact it drives straight is really impressive, it’s a testament to the time and effort put into the construction done by you - yeah it may not be the prettiest, but ironically it’s probably one of the straightest driving 180’s I’ve seen.
love to see it back
Love watching the videos from Scotland 🏴
It's been a wild ride and you're one of the reasons I wanna learn on how to weld properly. If you can do it then I'm sure with some practice anyone could master welding :D
Good luck from this point! I hope you'll find someone who can help dipping the chassis so you can drive this car to the very end
Nice to see young people achieving great things!
The 240 is back! The progress you've made on this car is amazing. It's been awesome to see the progress you've made.
You have inspired me to get a job and focus on myself again and I'm happy to be able to work on my 92 celica again all thanks to you showing me to never give up. Thanks again PrizzaMike you have been a huge help in my life without even knowing.
This makes me so happy to see Mike, you're an inspiration to all of us! Thank you for bringing us along on this journey cant wait to see more content of this thing back on the road and track 🖤
Watching from england such cool cars glued to watching your scrap yard hunts
So stoked to see the 240sx back on the road looking like a complete car again, your hard work and passion towards cars inspires me to follow my passion for cars… tremendous job 🤙
Brings back so many memories, socket extensions and Jack poles for rolling guards.
Some great words at the end, Mike. You've done a tremendous job and it is definitely inspiring🤘
I became aware of your videos when your car turned into a banana. And now I'm so happy to see it on the road again. Your fast progress gives me so much motivation to work on my own car and do everything on my own as well. Best wishes from Germany.
Let’s fucking go so proud of you brotha 🤟can’t wait too see it one color you should definitely make it the dark blue on the front fender it would look so good
I remeber seeing your channel for the first time when the car crashed so happy to see that its alive again
this is so inspiring. your whole journey with this car is what really pushed me to get my own 200sx and go all out on the build. keep it up man
As per normal we are blown away by your attitude and work ethic, my 12 year old son has been so motivated by you, he is starting to become a great little mechanic, it would be great to see you in the UK one day, he would love to meet you
This has been an extremely cool project to see come together. And honestly motivating too, watching an episode while eating lunch and then back out working on my own engine rebuild project. Thanks for the videos! Excited to see more!
Channel brings back great old memories
Man this car came so far, major props for sticking to it. Most people would've written it off and started on a new platform. You can literally say you've rebuilt it from the ground up.
You've done amazing work with that car. 99.99% of people would have put it in the junkyard but you've bust a gut to get it back on the road.
I hope you've done well out of this series, you deserve it.
This guy is the most underrated and determined person ever
It’s so awesome watching the full revival of this car from the accident to now. It’s been an amazing adventure
Seeing you drive through the same intersection that totaled this car speaks volumes about your progress and dedication to this car one day it’s wrecked the next day your cruising down the same road like nothing happened
Been following since before all this happened. Glad you brought the 240 back to life it’s gonna look sick when it’s fully finished so proud of what this cars gone through
bro ur legit living my dream, i genuinly mean this when i say you seem like a rly cool guy to hang out with and skate with. loved that in the last vid btw. happy for u on the 240 and ive been watching the whole build.
I honestly love the car scene where you are, the vibes of knowing a guy with an alignment machine in his garage, and a collection of friends with JDM nuggets collecting there to get things lines up is awesome.
Been with this recovery mission for over a year now. I love waking up to see you posted a video on it. Puts a smile on my face early in the morning!
That 240 watching it when you started to make it to where it would drive and fixing it has came a long way and looking back at it from start to finish is the best feeling ever man keep those dreams going!
Wow! Your car is an actual car and new rims are so shiny! I won`t stop repeating that i`m proud of you and you are one of the biggest examples that we never have to give up! Thank you for your patience!
honestly my boy , I love the fact you're documenting shit like this, because coming soon when everything is paint matched / painted and everything is to spec you're gonna look back at the beginning of the videos with the smashed side and see where it's come ; which it's come a long ass way my guy. Love this. Wish I would have documented my 240 more as I worked on it slowly. I miss these days, the small wins feel so good. Keep this shit up my guy.
This is the most amazing projects i ever seen, when the car is rolling after the alignment and song start to playing, i cannot hold my tears, well done man you did it🔥💯
The prizza 240 is back , makes me so happy, this just inspires me to build my na Miata I’m 17 and I can’t wait to see my car like yours is now I love you man stay safe
This has got to be one of the best automotive channels out there ! 🔥🔥 The vibe is so positive
again the "used to you" part was like a literal tearjerker. this has been an amazing experience. thank you so much for not giving up on this thing. ✨💕
Watching your videos and build process is really inspiring me to get off my ass and kickstart my EM1 build that I've been putting on hold for a year and change now.
Insane kudos and props for getting the car back in shape and I can't wait to see what else is in store!
Dude I'm just so happy for you. You're mindset is a shining example to your generation. Loved the bit about putting the phone as far away as possible and limiting social media. I'm 48 this year and I find your attitude to life so refreshing. Love to you and Franzy from Ireland.
snce the day of the crash i have seen the videos and you are inspiring me to start fixing my old bikes, so thank you
Man I’ve fallen in love with that car, it looks amazing especially with the different colour panels ❤
When you said "Keep the phone as far away as possible" that hit so hard because I always find myself getting distracted.
God damn, that car looks awesome. I actually like the mis-matched panels and the rusty hood, it looks like a proper piece of Japanese drift car history.
This has been the most inspirationally journey ever. This car has been made with lots of patience time and devotion. This has really inspired me to get a project car of my own.
Man.. When you heard outro/Ed song on rolling shot, it's feel like your ambition has been successfully achieved. Congratulations Mike!
Its a great feeling to get something from broken to driving and do the work yourself. Be proud of your group and try to not think of it late at night !
congratulations i see all the progress and changes and seeing it like this is all a dream again congratulations. greetings from Argentina
Each day I would sit on my 30 min break at work & take a break from life to enjoy some quality content. Love the videos man 🔥 couldn’t be happier to see the 240sx back up & running
Been watching ur channel since you found that great 240 in the junkyard, glad to have been here since then to watch the progress, keep it up!
Your positivity is like NO OTHER on YT! Honestly a TRUE inspiration!
What a unique story car can have. From being completely totalled to being a functional car one's again. That car will now have a unique story behind it and you are also written into the stone for this car's history. To some you brought back a worthless piece of scrap metal to roads again, but I know the feeling when something is too special to let go of. That is the car for you.
lowkey i was a hater when this car first crashed but switched sides a couple months in to this series. it’s insane to me you finished this all and it came out as good as it did. love the passion you have for these chassis and saving them man, keep it up. i strive to keep my hatch on the road as long as yours!
I just came across your channel this past weekend and I have to say I’m already hooked on your videos. It’s very unfortunate what happened but it’s so amazing to see how the car is coming along. I’m very happy for you and I just can’t wait for the finished product!
This is probably my favorite car I’ve ever seen
To help make the fibreglass fit, if you heat up the part with a heat gun it will become soft. You can then push it to where you need it, then cool it down it will stay 👌🏻
You showed me that if you have vision and dedication anything is posible
Heat up the fiberglass carefully with a heatgun or blow torch!!! You will be surprised how much it moves. After mounting it to the car. Let it sit there for a bit before taking it off, so it forms to the car. Especially if you are going to paint the car, you mount the kit first, heat up the parts that need forming and let it sit there for a few days so it stays in shape, before taking off. You can use double sided tape for example in the spots that bow out, so it sticks to the body, for the time needed for it to form. Like the comment to prizza sees it!
Man i just learned a trick from Jimmy O and his boy Spoon to share with Mr. Mike. I would have never known but a heat gun and some heat will help you fourm that fiberglass real nice! A trick that i cant wait to use on my car and hopefully helps you with yours!
your the most real car guy I know on the internet. Best adivce and you really kept the dream alive. Youve helped me with my car for sure, and im now making a masking tape list on the door and I wont take it off till my car is on the road.
Watching you basically perform Necromancy on this 240sx, I realize you hold a sheer will to do what must be done that Perfectly encapsulates the peak of the human spirit, and you are a Living Legend all Car Enthusiasts should Strive to mirror. Keep up the good work, and push on! the final steps are just within reach. and I cannot wait to see this beautiful machine at its finished stage, ready to take on the roads of the world in Legendary fashion.
I’m missing my Z while I’m working on the built engine but then I remember how long Mike had to work to get this car back and I appreciate it so much more 💛
Glad to see her back on road looking good can't wait see when she gets painted will look amazing hope your good Mike and better after the accident that was awful l ❤ sending love from uk
Car looks great,happy you got it back to it's Glory days🙏
Congratulations on getting to this point, crazy that a year ago half the car was cut away.
keep humble budy, a tip...to take stickers out...use the heat gun will give no markers on from glue! saluts from Portugal
"All it needs is a door", i just had a thought. Itd be kinda cool to get the lady that caused the wrecks reaction to its revival
She seemed like she had no brain cells tho.. probly doesn't even remember what car she hit lol
You’re an inspiration Mike. You’re the reason I fixed my track civic when I crashed it. Rock bottom and I was over it but i remember seeing you since day 1 and I got the confidence to repair it! Just had a trackday on Sunday with the car which performed perfect! and seeing this video made me smile so freaking big. Cheers Mike and the Prizza fam you’re the man bro! Much love from Los Angeles 🙌🏽
Mike, I've been watching this build and your channel in general since the accident. The amount of work and up's/down's you have overcome during this entire process is nothing short of amazing. I'm from Arizona, and I hope one day our paths will cross so I can shake your hand and see this thing in person! Until then, keep doing your thing man! Truly inspiring!
Your s13 is now the epitamy of built not bought. Great job!!!
Its been a long ride and it isn't fully over (it never is) been truly amazing watching you bring it back from the dead gives all of us hope that nothing is impossible to fix thanks for the wild ride Mike looking forward to all the other projects in the future.
