2JZ 240sx Build in 10 minutes - Before and After of BLUEJZ!

New uploads Monday,Wednesday,and Saturdays! For this video, I dug back a couple of years and looked through all of my BLUEJZ footage from the build, and decided to show all the steps that were taken to create this car from a vision. With a lot of new faces on the channel, many didn't know it's beginnings - so I'm excited to show the entire story crammed into a time-lapse! A 2jz s13 240sx is not an uncommon build, but it still has it's hurdles. Thank you all so much for watching and have a great day!

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Not rush a project? Ohhhh, that's where I went wrong! Love it David

[@hunterjames9428]

DEBOSS GARAGE I watch your channel all the time I’m surprised that your here lol.🤣

[@waynealejo8772]

David, I hope one day I can meet you, you got me into cars. I have an uncle that is a mechanic and I was never interested in that, but after watching you and many other KZbinrs, I’m just obsessed with cars. I’m proud of you, keep up the good work. 💙

[@s4stance769]

Wayne Alejo i thought it would be the faf movie

[@scottiebarnes8588]

Cars are so incredible

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Thank you all for always supporting me! Have an awesome day.

[@josepgutierrez22]

ThatDudeinBlue that drum & bass song is dope as hell. Sick video

[@lucaskurtzbein5266]

ThatDudeinBlue hey david i am very new to the car culture... I have a 2000 honda civic si and i am looking into turboing it... I am just wondering if you have any advice on how to go about it? I also have a 2003 vw passat 1.8t that i want to get into but i thought the honda would be a cheaper rout ... Any advice helps!!

[@Slays_Media]

I really hope I'lll get the chance to hang out and talk with you someday. I'm a huge fan and Atlanta is just a hop and a skip away, so I'll keep hope. 😂

[@colbynieves6195]

ThatDudeinBlue this was a great video David with an awesome song choice👍 that car was a heck of a monumental achievement! You know talking about a car build, I'm in the process of building mine right now. And people have looked at me and said, well why don't you go and get you another one that already has the sports or race package that you're wanting to put into this one? Because I want to know that I built something, took my time building it with my own two hands, and have fun doing it and didnt just go out and get one already built. And going back to what you said, building a car for yourself should be something you should enjoy and not rush! And that is so amazingly true, because you gain a great deal of respect for the work that you have done to make the vehicle what it is, and you'll learn something in the process.

[@eugenioacosta89]

ThatDudeinBlue i respect the car but i think it could look cooler widebody but that is just me

[@robertstrimpel4223]

I've been following this channel since less than 5k. Pre Blood Sweat & Gears

[@shawnprickett4099]

Same bro 1K life certainly been a journey.

[@carlospedraza1477]

David sure does have loyal fans. I watch almost all his Livestreams and videos.

[@shawnprickett4099]

Same I've even been able to play Forza with him a few times was so much fun.

[@daO407]

I've been watching from Blood, Sweat, And Gears, and I have to say this one of the top of the top automotive KZbin channels by far.

[@Miataswiththreateningauras]

I remember when you bought the 240, thats when I first subbed to you and oh my god it has been a long journey 😂

[@lowpowermods8969]

I'm about a year and a half into my car and all I've gotten done is the cooling system, shocks, and some homemade custom brackets and stuff for the seats so the fact yours only took two and a half years is really awesome! I'm still in school and parts are expensive so I am probably looking at three to four years but this video was really inspiring. Thanks for making such great content!

[@carlospedraza1477]

I may not be not be a day one, but I have seen David come a long way. I'm happy to have had the honor to meet him. I was so nervous, but it was the best day of my life. This is the type of content KZbin should be promoting, not generic crap. It just sucks to see people like David suffer in numbers because of the messed up KZbin algorithm.

[@coletonmissbach3039]

Absolutely incredible watching this car evolve into what it is today. What an amazing build, congratulations on the finished product David, its magnificent!

[@cattactical4128]

Thank you for keeping 240s on the road, they’re so majestic ❤️

[@universboi359]

This car is what got me to subscribe. Always been a huge fan of 240's, and i swear someday i will own one. And after that day finally comes, I'll know exactly where to go whenever i need a video to watch to help me thru the various modifications I'll make. It seems as if nobody on youtube can compare to your videos, i just love how in depth they all are and you always have a very humble attitude too. Congrats on all your success man, you certainly deserve it.

[@DriftxKingGTR]

Bro, your 240 is amazing. You made me want to start a project car on my own but just don't have the financials to do so. Whatever you do, please don't change a thing in BlueJZ, its pure perfection. Don't fall into the pressure of people telling you to increase power or put a wing.

[@wolfie7303]

One of the best things that can be seen in this video is that you've done so much work yourself on this car.

[@italianstalian1997]

Kinda the motivation I needed.. Been working on my car for almost 2 years now and its always one thing after another and its really worn me down. Started to dislike her in the past couple of months and was actually even debating on letting her go, but after watching this and following this build since the very beginning I just can't wait to be able to look back and remember all the memories my pain in the ass has given me!

[@SkullWarrior999]

Seen the 240 since my senior year of high school. Now I'm a junior in college. So cool to see the transformation of an old, rust bucket into a 500hp race car.

[@anonymousham4166]

I Have been watching before you even got BLUEJZ. I remember the first video and every single one after. She’s beautiful and I’ve seen it in person as I live in Atlanta. Great job.

[@tommykhong6148]

I love this time lapse. Because of you, I see the pain and progress that goes into a car until you get it to where you’re satisfied. I’m ready for this. When the time comes I’ll tear apart my car and dump hours into it just like this

[@lnvfx]

I remember subscribing right when you got the car. I've loved watching you and the channel grow over the last two and a half years. Plus all the periscope streams and live streams where you talked about the car behind the scenes. I feel quite an attachment to the car, and it was definitely surreal seeing the car in person last year.

[@idiotbrosinc]

This was a really awesome vid. I've always been a Mustang fan simply because I was raised in a Ford family and was all for muscle cars and lifted trucks. I remembered this car being the car that got me really heavy into Japanese tuner cars. Fast forward 2 years and I traded my last Mustang in for a G35 coupe 6MT and I'm loving it. I plan to get another Mustang and a Ford truck/SUV in the future, but I doubt the G35 will ever leave the family from now on. Hopefully that car will get someone interested in something new just like the BlueJZ. Thanks for a new experience and keep up the awesome content!

[@aaronhancock9864]

I remember the day you bought that 240, and I followed your build for those long couple of years. That car has come such a long way. You've been such a big inspiration for me to get off my butt and actually start working hard to complete my dream build. Great job, man! Keep being awesome!

[@tylerbrown2804]

Ever since you brought home that car I wanted a s13 my self as a project car. That car really brought me into the built not bought lifestyle.

[@bimmerboi01]

Tyler Brown except he paid a shop to do alot of the building 🤔

[@tylerbrown2804]

Lathan Young true but not everyone has the experience and knowledge.

[@erichroney673]

Absolutely blown away! Nearly teared up when I saw this project. Used to have a 90 pignose 240sx in that same color and even painted the ka head the same orange. I had to give up on my project, but happy to see these cars out on the road looking this amazing

[@colbytrenge7094]

This is awesome! I wish when I started my foxbody I would’ve taken more pictures of it to remember what I went through, and to be able to share the experience. Project cars are the best way to enjoy a car. Anyone can buy a new car, but not everyone can build one. It’s awesome seeing a car many would consider scrap become something beautiful

[@callthedohc8th]

David, id like to start off by saying thank you for allowing us to be part of this build. And your growth as a whole! You’re an awesome guy that does some amazing things!! 2018 will be the year of the tdib!!! Thanks again buddy!!!

[@jeremycribb4696]

Well said David, I have been working on my Z71 for about 2.5 years. Mine is a running/ driving project that I will finish one day. I still need to finish several things to make it better than it currently is. Nice project and thanks for sharing, have a blessed day.

[@santiago9ish]

I've been watching your videos since I first got into cars around 5 years ago, you've really helped me see the car world in a good light, seeing all of the ways that cars have impacted your life has shown me how much they've impacted mine. When I was in middle school and even starting high school, I could relate so much to the situation you were in. I'm incredibly glad I stumbled into this channel years ago, and keep up the great work! Look forward to meeting you man!

[@icee0711]

I've only been around since the first swap blew up. This just makes me want to go back and binge watch everything on blue jz.

[@mehftv]

This probably took many hours to piece together and produce but the product was absolutely worth it. Great video for people who haven’t been around from start to finish to see the finished project!

[@MeowsterX3]

Watching this you see not only how much the 240 changed but also get a glimpse of how much David change including how happy he is.

[@JoaquinNeuhaus]

Hey David! Is there anywhere I can find the parts you used on your build?

[@broheang6371]

💩👎

[@harryfrancoia]

this is love and effort is all about. David you the one who made me love cars so much and this video made me so happy, the work put into this car made me smile even without a gallon! keep it up! You will always have emy support!

[@carlosmorteo5177]

Dude, you deserve too much respect, this project is awesome and I'm very glad you made your dreams come true. As always, photography and filming work was on point and it's great you took the time to film everything. It really motivates me to buy my first car right now and go wild (maybe not that wild, because I want to drive it daily, but you get the point).

[@godzilla18us]

HECK YES MAN !!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND AM SO HONORED TO HAVE HAD A HAND IN MAKING YOUR DREAM A REALITY !!!!!

[@brandoncain836]

Such a good throwback, I started watching your videos right when it got painted blue!

[@jeremywilliams9470]

Wow. Blood, sweat, and tears man. Keep living your best life David.

[@maaaazda]

I just moved back to NY from Atlanta and I am incredibly sad that I don't get to be around the car culture there. It is one true thing I will miss about Georgia. Hopefully, I will be able to make it to IA this year. All of my belongings are still at my old house in GA, so I'll have to plan a trip down there anyway.

[@13THPR0PH37]

I don't know why this popped up in my videos but I love the bluejz. Love the ambit wheels, love the color, love the 2JZ, love it all. To me it's perfect even if it isn't. ❤️

[@DelTalkoh]

I remember when you bought this car and first showed it and I was thinking "why the hell did he buy that thing it looks like a total piece of shit". But over the progression each video and then having the periods when it was stuck at the shop I slowly fell in love with Blue40 or Blue jz or 240smurfx. I love the way it looks and I think it's amazing how you turned a rusty turd of a car into this masterpiece. Thanks David for making such great content and making my day sweeter.

[@brandoncarey9564]

Hard to believe it’s been so long, I remember the day the first episode came out when you pulled the engine I got so excited, it’s come so far since then.

[@ragingrussel31]

You can really sense the spirit in the build and when it's running. That's all David when you see it roll by.

[@SpyderGarage]

Good to know this took you 2 1/2 years. My son and I are in the middle of a 2-year build to get his car done by his 16th birthday. It's been a good lesson for him to learn patience and understand that these things take time. (What 14-year do YOU know that is patient?!) ;-)

[@ConnorGrosseFilms]

Spyder Garage what are you building

[@SpyderGarage]

Connor Grosse Films Two Chevy Monza Spyders (1 is mine, the other for my son) kzbin.info

[@BOOK4WORM]

Whatching this video made my dream come true but now I have to let it go by selling my project which I have been pospone for many year. Congratulations on your dream come true and thanks for sharing

[@TheRealEvilSink]

BlueJZ is actually what got me interested in your channel, i subscribed when you towed it home. Thanks for all the hours of entertainment since :)

[@TheJMedia]

I am proud to say that I watched the entire Blue JZ series since day one when you picked it up! Can't wait to see how Project Integra is gonna turn out!

[@dankbonkripper7815]

I found this channel from the 330hp Sleeper civic. I immediately subbed its been about 2-3 years since then and I have never not enjoyed a video from you. Keep up the good work David.

[@sirscorpio1154]

I like how when the new motor gets brought out the song goes everyman has his own ambition. I see what u did there

[@xan_carman4216]

really crazy how fast the time has passed...i remember when u just got the 240

[@matthewharris89]

Your blue 240sx with a 2jz is one of my favorite 240 builds I have seen, great job. I wish I had help with my project car! You are lucky to have so many car friends.

[@WokenNightmaree]

Followed the build start to finish. Such a sick car man, nothing I would change. So well done

[@HoweDoYouDo1999]

Still is one thing to this day which manages to blow my mind like it just goes to show when done right yes this kind of stuff can be a work of art

[@Hardlines_FullsendRc]

Wow bro this really hit home with me. I've got an 01 is300 that I've been building for about a year and I'm so frustrated with it right now that I'm actually contomplaiting getting rid of it and calling it quits. The only thing is that id be losing my ass on it,it's retarded to get rid of it but at the same time I'm tired of putting money into it to just be sitting in the garage and fighting me every step of the way. After watching this video you really made me realize that I do need to just calm down and take a step back and chill out and quit being so impatient lol. I'm fairly new to your channel and had no idea the 240 looked like that when u got it,great job the car is awesome now. Thanks for this video man!!

[@jonathan46107]

Truly a work of art. Haven't been here forever, but I am glad I joined the channel. Keep up the good work!

[@RickysGreatAdventures]

This is a great video, my cars back in the shop with problems, again, after I've spent over a year getting a motor built and swapped, it just seems like neverending problems since it was "finished" back in November, this was reassuring to watch thanks

[@ira-ag]

I've been watching your videos since I was in 6th grade, gotta tell you David, you did a great job! Keep going with BlueJZ!

[@marcosgarcia6889]

This video was so satisfying to watch, I remember watching every single 240 video and seeing the process and seeing the end product is so awesome! Congrats David!! You’re truly a big inspiration for people in the car community, keep it up dude!!! :D

[@Ballislife27CA]

You’re 240sx is legendary. Best build I’ve seen

[@johnathanescobar9225]

I like how you were in almost every clip doing work, unlike other youtubers that have their friends do it.

[@jh77sly]

The feels when your project car is also your daily driver and it's been over 10 years in the making and still nowhere near where you really want it, but it's still fun enough to keep going.

[@RyGuyTheAVGuy]

HOLY CRAP DAVID!!!! Look at that number. That is MIGHTY close to that 1 Million mark. WOW! I remember it being just around 115k.

[@JRsWorkshop]

I cant believe its been so long until you reached the final product! Congrats man!

[@arturocarbente5218]

Wow David just sat here watching this as time flew by with this project and it honestly looks amazing. Your build is the reason im still motivated to work on my car. The integra is about to be sick AF keep up the great work

[@spooler7828]

The most enjoyable part is the chase for that perfect part. Finding it and getting it on the car.

[@enjoisk69]

I'm a new subscriber to this channel, and I have to say this video was beautiful and inspiring. I wish I was here years ago to support when it all began. Either way, you built an amazing machine and I respect the hell out of it. I've seen the car many times before, but it's very inspiring to actually see what it was before it became the gorgeous car it is today. Good job man, I hope you're proud of what you've built and what you showed everyone is possible with a beat up car. 👍

[@Shmowx]

This is honestly one of my favorite videos and one of the best videos I've seen in a long time

[@agustinfranco5288]

I remember back when you were hinting via Periscope that you had gotten a project car, like a month before the reveal. Holy crap what a throwback.

[@WilbanksUSMC]

This makes me so happy to see you complete your dream project, David. So proud of you dude, hopefully, we'll get to meet one day.

[@shawnkurtis6843]

Always enjoy seeing someone that truly has love for all cars or can at least appreciate all cars in some way , You should build a a simple project car and give it to a subscriber , something like a Honda CRX , 300zx or one of my fav 3000gt vr4, def would make for some great content !

[@richmcdowell]

BlueJZ came out great. Very little bodyfiller and looks smooth. Also like the Forza ideas as I've done the same thing with my 04 GTO. Respect.

[@connorbreuche]

I remember watching the original video of you bringing the blue JZ home ! It’s crazy to think that was over 2 years ago, I didn’t even have my license then now I’m 2 cars and a CBR600 into this addiction of building cars

[@abishakesutharsan9616]

Connor Breuche the car life is the best life bro!

[@jonathanmagness1231]

BlueJZ sure has come along way and you where my inspiration to get a 240

[@adamdavies1249]

Crazy how far blue JZ has came from a almost dead 240 to a beautiful car anyone would be proud to own

[@CWUTx]

crazy to see how far this car has come i remember seeing the video of the car being delivered and its awesome to think how awesome this car is now.

[@arteevo5269]

This is awesome David! Crazy how much has changed. Lol It really makes me think on how much time and money goes into a project car. Sometimes we just like “oh I’m going build a cheap car I found on Craigslist for $800 in a year it’ll be done.” But most of the time it just ends up taking much longer than we think.

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Always man...ALWAYS.

[@fredito60]

Been watching since before the 240. Probably around the same time you started modding the the mustang. You've come a long way. 👏🏽

[@aaronforward1004]

im sad that i had missed these videos, but thankyou for the short version. with everyone doing so many rebuilds this was fun to watch in one episode. looking forward to seeing the interga progress into something as well.

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Hey it's all good! I have the playlist just for people who missed them!

[@aaronforward1004]

well i know what im doing today lol. thanks man.

[@BarbWaltersMusic]

One of the most famous cars on KZbin, awesome David

[@ajrandall7526]

It's great to see the step by step but into the car David and the finished result is utterly amazing .👌

[@DiZZoLabs]

What a badass video David. 👍🏻👍🏻 So many memories! I watched from beginning to end. Nonstop! Hats off. Bluejz is 👌🥇

[@stevec7819]

It’s crazy to think I’ve been following your journey since your first 350z review

[@mohitoshmondal1]

Hi David, this video is an inspiration too for people like me who are into cars and motivate to continue loving cars. Thanks and hope to see more cool videos from you.

[@DamonBMW]

Man you've come a long way. Don't ever forget you have your dream car :)

[@TheLaffoutLOUD]

Reminds me of a Mighty Car Mods video, so enjoyable to watch. Super proud of this David!

[@imabeast-jy3gz]

Crazy to see the ride it’s had! I remember allllll the body work and the sad David waiting for it to be done!

[@Sleepy_023]

that last shot of the bluejz was amazing!

[@brandonsever2576]

Dang I've been here a while... I remember seeing that first video of the 240sx. Long before Smurf was boosted. I remember watching your reviews and trying to recreate those cars in Forza Motorsport 4. You've come so far

[@BrionesVisuals]

it’s so awesome to see it the way she’s sitting now!

[@ALLKaps]

Awesome video, David! It's mind blowing seeing how the BlueJZ started it's life compared to how it sits present day. I guess it just goes to show... with a little dedication, patience, and perseverance anything it possible.

[@CRUMedia]

i'm wanting to give thanks to the pe- *inserts ad*

[@lowpowermods8969]

C.R.U Media i liked the ad there rather than in the video lol

[@21void5]

Wow the crew got some skills. Every nice. Always like to see those before and after vids.

[@McTwistedTwisties]

I'm surprised you didn't name your car Blue-40-JZ.

[@Jeremy_Hill_2020]

somebody will probably take that name if they have a Blue 240sx

[@BillyBob-sh6ez]

Jeremy Hill with a 2jz

[@mikesoria3418]

I'm surprise to not see it typed as Blue-Jayz

[@jennyevelectri8278]

What a journey my dude. So happy for you that you got through all the little..and big things that tried to hold you back, and you powered through it all. 🏆🎉

[@-ash-2453]

This car was a CLEAN BUILD NICE JOB MY GUY!!

[@SubterraneanBruh]

GLAD I WAS HERE FROM THE BEGINNING !

[@gripzie98]

Such a feel good video man! This is the sort of thing that inspires people to do their own build! Well done 👌

[@MICKBETH]

Its been fun watching you grow on youtube! definitely love the 240 build! keep up the great work

[@devinx6]

Don't let the little things discourage you man I'm glad it was only the axle at the clemson event saturday

[@TarzanGTI]

Really miss those old rims... I sure enjoyed watching this series over the course of you moving to Georgia and all

[@ironpirite49]

I remember that grey 240 when it was just a shell in the garage. Bout the same time I subbed to your channel to. Watching this was kind of a kick in the pants telling me I need to get off my butt and get back to working on my own project.

[@ilianaorsai22]

Your message at the end was exactly what I needed to hear.

[@timmcadam6689]

Super sick video dude! This car turned out to be such a clean build and you did a great job on it

[@shalermotorsports4303]

Great video, inspiring to be able to watch the highlight reel of the build coming together. Well done, Blue JZ is an amazing machine.
