I'm sitting around $35000 all in on mine as well hopefully I can hit that 900 plus hp still breaking it in seems like a lot but in the end I have my dream car so totally worth it :-) also love the channel you have been a big help and inspiration in my build keep it up
Man good to see a 300zx on youtube. I had a 93 300zxTT when I lived in the Clearwater, FL area. (2004) Just did the basic JWT stage 2 stuff and made 420hp without a problem. (Seems like it cost more back then) Sold it to a guy in Atlanta and he shipped it to South Africa 😮
What am amazing car. I cheated on my 1990, I had Z-shack build my engine. Pricey, but they did a decent job. 577hp 568tq, but I’m looking for just a lil more now lol.
In the future, I intend to build my naturally aspirated engine with a single turbo around 500 hp and I don't want any swaps, I just feel that this is a good step to respect the vg engine Anyway great video amazing build !
@@NissanBroke I have thought about it, but if I change up my exhaust from what it is now it will be to make the entire system lighter in weight. I have zero problem with the way it sounds currently.
Hey billy i love your videos but every cockpit clip there is a nasty rattling sound before each pull idk if that is your camera or something is loose or what but it really takes away from amazing sounds of the vg motor. Its like a very unpleasant rattling or crackling sound. I dont mean to come off as offensive i just wanna help your content.
@@Billy_Built yeah understandable youre doing much bigger things fkn 1000hp z32 and it is mint. Keep it up brother i have deep respect for you giving praise to the Z32.
To run flex fuel in the car. Did you need to buy the flying lead harness plus the Haltech io expander ? Currently trying to hit 600whp in my 300zx and need some guidance on the ECU department. I also have the Haltech platinum pro
@@Billy_Built If u don't mind me asking how exactly did u do that? Not very tech savvy when it comes to this ECU stuff and Id like to save money and not buy the flying lead harness and io expander
Goodness, I’m so far past that and still got another 10k to go. And the kicker no driven miles on version v4 or whatever lol. If I could do it all over again. Back when i started in 05. You could get the best TT 10-15k. That seemed like so much money. Point being if you can find a clean one, modded with records, good compression etc for 20k just do and be done with it.
I don't know if I agree with the click bait screen. I am currently building an JDM MK4 Supra, and so far, it isn't too bad cost wise. Wait I actually watched the video and the cost of entry was a total KO so your right. Looking at everything im doing for my MK4 build.... JEEZUS you are definitely right and has me looking at my 300zx slicktop TT swap again.
@@mrsquirrel8079 lol The mood change in this comment is quite funny. But yeah, if you throw in the cost of the vehicle it's almost a no-brainer. And just like the VG30, there are cheaper ways of doing it with a 2JZ or LS. But I believe when it comes down to it. There is a dollar amount that you pay for a certain amount of reliable horsepower.
It takes a lot of money I'm currently building a 1500hp 280zx turbo engine and rufuley just the engine I'm around 8k not to mention all the I have and done to it on the last 30 years that I own the car It takes time and a lot of 💲💲💲💲💲💲💲 for something nice
Dogshite motor to work on. Don't care. It's a tow truck motor and slower than a turd. Built a z32 2x2 fairladyZ. Never again. That timing chain fkd me up😂
Billy, i’m glad you did this video. Now I don’t feel so alone when I look at what my z32 build is costing. 😅
Best to just get what you need and add it up later lol
On the next crankshaft pls think about cryo treating and wpc coating for it
I like seeing cost breakdowns like this, it helps me keep my dreams manageable haha!
Adding up how much you have spent on a car is never advised...
Lol you're not wrong.
I just did my current setup. I was Blown away lol
Yeah, that’s a dangerous move

Great video and breakdown

For sure! You'll have plenty of reliable fun with that as well.
I thought you had already dropped this video before😮
@@jeremythompson6822 nope
You ever think about an X pipe or Y pipe exhaust?
I think they both sound much better than the H pipe setup

My tuning was 9k for trash tune this November im getting it tuned by specialty Z
9k is insane for a tune.. This is why I learned to tune my own cars. And should I ever need to modify it, I can optimize the tune as well.
Is it easy to get new wiring harnesses for these? I heard they are problematic and one of the reasons i didnt get one whhen i got my mk3 supra
Wiring specialties sells them. And definitely a must have got any good running 90's car nowadays as well the harnesses are getting old and brittle.
Did u used vg33 parts to succeed to 900 hp at the wheels?
Vg33 is a single cam. Totally different motor than the DE

I've mentioned previously. Shifter is rattling.
@Billy_Built any plan to fix it?
@@KingKhan-ez3gg suppose I could, when I find time here lol

@@bdr93z96 nope I just wired it in to the ECU as a digital input.

Bro that’s sick you remember i asked which car should i buy as my first car so i bought gs300 2003 with low click like 130.000kms on it
GS300 is a great choice! Lots of potential with those.
@@Billy_Builtyeah man i loved your build ❤ you made it bro❤

Solid advice
To me, it not about the cost of making HP per se. It is more about the journey. The learning and the experience of going through a build like this.
I completely agree with you on that!

what offset were those wheels?
18x10 +25 on the rear
@Billy_Built Did you need spacers to clear the brakes?
It takes a lot of money

Can’t put a price on peace of mind man! 🤑
I’m 6 figures deep into mine… and she isn’t done yet.
Don't stop there bud
Billy Billy! Billy!!!!
For the sake of all that's good, DO NOT let your wife see this video!
Well Done.
lol she helped with the thumbnail! I'm a lucky guy
I prefer to just assume I've spent less than my credit card says I did😂
@@AChickDrivesIt I like the positivity here.
IMO, looks way better (inside and out) than any Supra.
I honestly thought it would be higher
@@ghostsmoke11 I think many people expected much more.
Still cheaper then a new car and you can take your time with a build
100% especially for any car making that kind of power.

This is taboo activity my friend. DON'T EVER DO THIS!!! World of despair will follow

@@javidamod if you can't work on cars you could just say so😅
It's a hard motor to work on if you like kissing guys just saying lol
