How Much It Cost To Build My Icy 300zx

In todays video (which took way too long to shoot and edit lol) I break down the cost of my 1990 Nissan 300zx, the parts car for it, and all of the aftermarket upgrades on the project. If you want to build a similar Z32 hopefully this can help you out! Drop a comment and subscribe :)

That is undoubtedly the most beautiful 300ZX I've ever seen. The color is just astounding. Just beautiful.

[@abstracts2004]

This is the best 2+2 I have ever seen. I cant believe I see claimed Z owners on here hating. Ive been driving Nissans my whole adult life and 3 of my cousins own Z32's. I have never once ran into a Nissan guy or girl that's a hater like this fool in the comments.

[@UnderRatedGarageYT]

Thank you man! It’s all good, there’s more love than hate towards the car so I appreciate everyone’s nice words

[@the__spiral]

Had my 300ZX for five years mine is Hella clean, but this one is cold af 🥶 good shit

[@UTP_ENT]

Some of the cleanest interior I’ve seen on a cloth setup. Very impressive

[@UTP_ENT]

I got mine in excellent condition and it’s been a battle to keep it stock. It’s auto but it’s Pearl white white ,black leather interior that’s 10/10 t tops don’t leak 👍🏻 came with the polished wheels for 4k. I I usually modify cars within a month or 2 but I’ve had this car for a few years now it’s still all stock 😂

[@christopherreed8152]

Beautiful Z!!!!!! Love the NA motor. It's all about what makes you happy. Looks like a super car and probably runs great too. Excellent job.

Great Work! Love it!

Great job my guy.!!!👌👌👌

[@illsuspect]

Love your car. I had the same wheels on my TTZ. A friend basically gave them to me because they came on his Plymouth hot rod project and he didn't like the way they looked. Really miss that car.

[@Arun999]

The z32 is absolutely gorgeous for its time. Total BDE car

[@josebrown5961]

Okay what drew my eye to your Z was the slicktop look with a 2+2 body. I never thought of just wrapping the T Tops on a Z. I think that was a great idea. Personally I still like the regular 2 seat Z32, I might just have to get one now. Thanks!

Saw this at panda fest and literally wanted to build a z just like this. So clean.

[@javidamod]

A bro had one since we were in highschool, rolling around in civics and bs, man's had a gold , late model, TT zx would dust us everyday. His was an original Fairlady Z car from Japan, mostly stock with just uprated Garrett's & furlong with the only suspension we could have that still kept the 4 wheel steering...never forget the day he dropped his T top and it shattered 😂 don't think any of us were as upset when blowing up or totalling cars as he was with 1 T top for months and a box as a roof😂😂😂 aaah ... too bad he sold it before I got into all wheel drives and got revenge tho

[@bmwwillfixit4281]

Of all the cars I have owned. My brand new 1996 300 ZX had the mist emotional appeal. I loved the dash layout and the TTops. I sure miss it though. Yours is a great build. The quality of materials are not the same.thesw days as everything is souch cheaper these days. Parts and materials

[@gumbuswatersen963]

This is a very clean ZX I really like the color and wheels

[@UnderRatedGarageYT]

Thank you!

[@raijin8718]

Earlier you planned on giving the car a swap, are you sticking with the VG30 or going with a different type of engine?

[@obimcdoby7974]

Hella sick dude. I have a 1990 myself. What offset are your wheels? Looking for that nice fitment

[@bluelightning2520]

I’d love to go that low on my z but my town roads are so bad and bumpy and every entrance is such a big dip 😩 and speed bumps everywhere

[@joshuasutton4043]

Nice z bro love my zz

[@speedlock]

Very clean! Looks like you opted for all the deletes in the engine bay. Currently on a mission to do the same to my TT 😅

[@UnderRatedGarageYT]

Yes I definitely wanted to make the bay as simple as possible! Good luck with your TT build 👌

[@arielrussell5822]

@@UnderRatedGarageYT did you keep the a/c?

[@meowmeowface6113]

I have a question about the Cruise control what happens to it when you manual swap it because I just purchased a Manual Trans for 400$ (I really appreciate the seller for hooking me up) and do you think there is a way to rewire it to something cool like turning on and off the Underglow or like something neat. Really awesome build I am very inspired to build my Z32 up and look all pretty. :D

[@Coop_De_La_Woop]

How hard was swapping the interior? Mine has the tan interior as well. My wife loves the tan so may end up keeping it but I’d much rather have grey or black.

[@UnderRatedGarageYT]

It’s a lot of work, but something you’d be able to manage. Just have to be patient with it

[@znmcmhn]

I noticed the Twin Z Bumper body line has been filled. Looks Good!!! - Did you use fibreglass or body filler ?

[@UnderRatedGarageYT]

Thanks! I used filler on it. So far no issues but who knows in the long run

[@justice4g]

I had a TT that kinda needed a rebuild, I was tossing up between that an a V8 swap and went with the rebuild but kinda wish I went with the V8 for easier maintenance, the sound and even being a bit lighter, maybe something to consider one day.

[@mohamedail5801]

😍😍😍👍👍👍🍻👍✈️🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼افضل موديل zx

[@Vgk36]

I gave up TWICE 😂 once on a 2+2 then again on a 2+0. Both were NA. I also thought I would swap them one day. With a loj ls kit. (The kit alone is 10 grand) went to a hardcore zenki with a sr20. Liked it. But if i popped that sr It would have made the car worthless. Now i found true bliss with my hellrot e36 coupe. Staying here. Once the looks are dialed ill turbo the m50. Nice car respect for finishing it. I just didnt love the chassis enough especially with the funky front suspension.

[@kuznapi]

you can run a TT mishimoto radiator on a NA?

[@UnderRatedGarageYT]

Yes, with the Z1 adapter plate and a new Efan or TT shroud

[@axelz3124]

Yes, i also install a tt rad on my n/a also with the z1 bottom Z1 plate adapter

[@vbkngx]

Only a small detail but radiator is pronounced "ray-diator".

[@Nismo65]

very nice looking z from 2 ruffy's and a fair bit of cash thrown at it you've done a great job. i don't how you get away with that mirror tint don't the cops hassle you about that. lucky you can get all those parts and kits at pretty cheap prices compare to what we would pay for here in Australia plus mega shipping on top. i do own a black on black 1990 2+0 5 sp JDM import i still have it after 21 yrs and never once wanted to sell it still only has 129,000 klm on the clock i love the thing.

[@PhantomWoIf]

lowring the cars body is wrong, the body will get the ground and the car will rust away from below. steering is a problem too in lowerd cars. the Nissan 300ZX is on of the best cars ever and specially one of the best made in japan sportscaes from the 90s. these cars are like world cultural heritage buildings and need to likewise be preserved forever. its to bad when they're lowerd like that set-up to be destroyed.

[@Tea18236]

please shut up. at the end of the day cars are just things to be enjoyed. you should be able to do whatever you want with your car.

[@islamicsalami7208]

Honest question to the tuner community: Is it a high safety concern regarding replacing the original steering wheel with a racing style steering wheel that does not contain an airbag? Maybe I'm just old, but Is be concerned about getting in an accident without an airbag. Can someone please weigh in? Drive safe, all.

[@UnderRatedGarageYT]

This car didn’t have any airbags to begin with, but I believe the 1993 and newer models did. I’m not sure about the safety aspect to be honest!

@@UnderRatedGarageYT yeah less snappy at high speeds cause it doesnt corner nearly as well as the 2+0. Youre only loosing the rear end unless ypu mean too, or youre driving beyond your limits.

[@PhantomWoIf]

its to low to the ground, it will hit the ground somewhere and then rust away from below. the original suspension drives better than lowering these cars. the icy blue color is nice, i would like that with an intense all red interior. underlight is nice, i like that and if its red or orange, that can be i think better for safety. $18500 is compared to what sportscars cost today a low price and that gets one of the nicest looking cars ever, the Nissan 300ZX. that engine can do with a turbo like 567HP on the wheels without a problem.
