Larry Chen’s SR20 Swapped Datsun 240z is ALIVE! Ole Orange Bang: the 1 hour special

Mr. Larry Chen himself isn’t immune to the pitfalls of project cars - a 2 month project can turn into a 2 year project, real quick. Trust us, we know. But now is the time for him to get back into his pride and joy: Ole Orange Bang. SR20 powered and running the best it ever has, Larry’s mind was so blown that he filmed a whole 1 hour special - just to show off all the detail on this thing.

Every shot of Larry ,for LOTS, of minutes was looking in the side view ,for BLUE !!! Kind of funny. Larry's thoughts " the money I just spent on Bang, I don't have any left ,for a ticket.....don't stop me , please don't stop me !...."

“Oh shit cop!” **floors it even more** I love this guy!

[@nnaheim.]

You love him? Well hes married, you cant love him like his wife that sleeps with him and caresess his naked body.

[@AstralTranzient]

I absolutely love it when Larry goes to Z Car Garage. The cars are always so well done without being over the top. You can really see the passion those guys have for Datsuns. Their attention to detail is outstanding!

[@ParkerBuhrman]

This man Rob is an absolute gem. It's so incredibly entertaining and satisfying to see these personalities walking around the car and just moving from piece to piece... everything has been thought of and considered, and it's remarkable. Congratulations on the amazing restoration here, that car is going to be a blast and we all know Larry will be talking plenty more about it.

You think so how bout his comment to the homeless man NICE SHOPPING CART at 54:05? Read my comment above. Im not a hater Rob is.

[@Bendejo-lm8wo]

@@TRUTH4U2NO It was hilarious. The homeless problem in America is an absolute joke and all you can do is laugh at it now! Every major Democrat ran city in America has homeless encampments and nobody cares.

[@jordancailes8383]

@@TRUTH4U2NO seriously? He didn’t make one comment about the man being homeless. You took it there, he may not have been, could literally have been taking groceries home with a shopping cart, and you are the one that assumes the man was homeless, Shut up

[@GiletheCarGuy]

Best episode of Hoonigan AutoFocus so far.

[@kevinclay4883]

I have been a customer of z car garage for almost 10 years. Rob is the greatest guy to work with, I felt like he knew me and what I wanted from my cars everytime. He has been not telling the customer Dyno numbers for years and the first thing he does when you come to pick up your car is, washes it, warms it up and has it waiting for you in front ready to go. You walk in he hands you the keys and tells you to drive the car and I came back with a smile on my face every single time. The best shop I have ever worked with by a long shot. Don't forget Rob is just a mastermind a lot of the miracles come from the guys he works with who are top notch. Thank you Rob Fuller.

[@DannyChengofPhoneXchange]

Rob is like a car philosopher when talking about the Z and seeing how happy Larry is just makes this the most enjoyable episode to watch. Bonus comedy moment when they roll past the cops 😂

[@gaalen111]

Haha Rob is hilarious "hit it! Get some!" 🤣

[@mischief.ej1]

LMAO he pushed larry’s leg while in the corner like COME ON LARRY DRIVE IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT 🤣

[@insaneconqueror5421]

I think Larry was a lil scared of breaking it lol

[@tanner_titus]

I am beyond happy for Larry. He looks so happy. He deserves this for sure. What a humble dude who cares so much about every car he sees

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

My favorite Power Hour. Ill watch these everyday for an hour if they did daily uploads

[@jeinks3249]

This episode is almost making me cry. I wish and hope I can work with Rob one day to make my 240z refreshed and ready to live again. Larry looking for that cop was so funny.

[@rayamaro9963]

I like Rob because he really gets into his work and seems to really enjoy it . Nice work on this build , looking forward to seeing more of your fabulous work . 👍

[@B_M_A]

Man this dude is a forever legend. The joy he gets of making other people happy in the cars that he loves so they can share the same excitment is nuts. Thorough with words thorough with his work which in the end equals a phenominal product. I don't even own a Z and I'd love for this guy to wrench on my car or just listen to him talk or watch him go through stuff to see his thought process. Genuiene guy. Top notch.

[@avgjoegeek71]

This is the video I've been waiting for. So happy for Larry Chen to have his car completely done. Such a nice job from Z Garage.

[@BigBoyz33]

yooo its Larry "haha this reminds me of MY 240z" Chens Z !

[@towertsk]

As a fellow Z car owner, i can't help but smile as i watch this! Larry, your car looks amazing!

[@caseycallahan2547]

I could listen to Rob all day long! Love all the vintage Nissan coverage.

[@rootsrock1n]

Rob is an absolute legend! I work for a tow company and have been towing cars for him for almost 10 years. The day I met him, I could really see the passion and care he takes in every car he touches. Always great to see Rob and Z-car garage on the channel.

[@boogietimee]

Amazing. I don't normally watch hour long videos as it's just too long but this had me interested the whole entire time, I can see the love and passion for this car. Beautiful z!

[@kemnavarro9402]

I don’t think Larry understands how big of an impact his influence hit the new generation of car enthusiasts. Much love.🤘🏽

[@LukeWesson]

Every time I find a Larry Chen video I love I find another one that is even better. Been a KZbin viewer for over 15 years and this is the best channel I've found in a LONG time...

[@build.drive.fish.]

Rob is an inspiration for all Datsun owners. Would love to meet that dude one day and just chat datsuns. I'm currently building a 280z and love watching all his vids. Seems like the chilliest car dude ever.

[@mikecuzter6995]

"Hit it!" - Love this guy! Also the singing - just for himself. Some day I hope to have close to this much zen in my everyday life/work

[@Mister006]

You can hear it! He tuned it, matched the turbo, matched the cooling and everything so that the response is so close to mimicking the naturally-aspirated engine. The torque comes on smooth, the power comes on smooth - it doesn't seem like it's spooling to boost, it sounds like it is boosting along the curve. Pay the man, Larry!

[@filippo4425]

Man I love this guy and his passion for cars.. So happy for you Larry :)

[@rdub202]

Rob makes me feel like I've known him for a while. Seems like an absolute beauty.

So rad!! Rob is an artist at what he does, and Larry looks so happy with how good Orange Bang turned out! I can't wait to see some of these Datsuns on This V That!!

[@justamar]

When rob says he’s not gonna stop he meant it. 😯

[@ljvasey]

He knows the cop has a moment to decide - enter into what could be an arduous and dangerous high speed chase, or just glance back down at his laptop and continue on with his day

Wow ,wow, wow a smorgasbord of "ORANGE Bang " since I first say Larry Chen as Speed Hunter, than found out he had a Z! And watching for years to catch details about the Z.. Anybody with a Z, as passionate as Larry has always been about his Z. Larry deserves the ,Z GURU of California's touch. Larry finally has the BANG to Match his Orange Z ! Epic WAIT but sooooo Worth the wait for this video! Great job Z CAR GARAGE the crew poured their heart into the fine tune and finish of a very kick ass car , the Datsun Z. This Orange Bang is "RIPE!"

[@BenjaminLee-asianbearcub]

I'm so impressed with this build. Rob is a master craftsman! Love all the attention to detail, and focus on build quality and balance. Any garage can bolt performance parts together, but having everything working in harmony to create a higher experience... That's something else. Also, it's refreshing to see Rob's passion & pride in his work, clear as day. We need more auto craftsmen operating at this level!

[@STARMANjacob]

First I saw the one hour length, I thought like wow, they had to enjoy shooting this episode! And boy, I've enjoyed it now too! One hour seems like a blink, and I'm gonna watch it AGAIN! 🤙
