Project 300zx Engine Reveal!

I bought this project Z32 300zx as a shell a few month ago and have been trying to decide on a motor to swap into it. I knew for a fact I did not want to put the original VG30 into it because of the headache they are to work on. But I recently came across a Nissan 240sx in the junkyard and decided to use the low milage motor from it! I have personally never seen this swap done, so I'm excited to build something unique!

That first freaking engine shot transition was so clean it was trippy.

[@chocolatemilkinafijibottle4143]

I respect the focus on other projects and stuff, i can imagine after so much working on the 240 it can be draining and could burn you out, i can imagine there are also people complaining about not seeing 240 progress, but screw'em you keep doing you man, i can watch anything you put out Mike, thank you for the content and for your self

[@PrizzaMike]

Thank you for being so understanding homie, means alot!

[@Papajin68]

Plus there's a KA involved in this build, so it's still related! People considering a KA-T swap will still probably get a lot out of the Z build content even if there will be some challenges that are unique to the Z platform. Plus, while I'm definitely in the S-chassis camp, I've always had a bit of a sweet spot for the Z32s, so I at least don't mind. Fact of the matter is, if Mike wants to keep building the channel, and continue beyond the repair of his S13, he _has_ to branch out otherwise it'll become harder and harder to come up with really good content. Just getting through the winter when it sucks to work on a car in Chicago was probably enough of a struggle... Luckily, people seem to enjoy junkyard diving!

[@PONTIACGTO1970]

criminally underrated, honestly my favorite automotive channel.

[@PrizzaMike]

Means alot man 🙏

[@nile2566]

You're getting really good at transitions man, love your stuff

[@LindaPls]

everytime the camera moves im expecting a random transition. cant trust nothin no mo

[@robtorress]

Plot twist. Mike always uses transitions because he doesn’t know how to work on his cars so he pays someone else to and edits it to make it look like he did. 🤓

[@LindaPls]

@@robtorress even as a joke thats garbage

[@caddy-co]

You and Kevin from @junkyarddigs need to do a collab episode where you go get an old American car running

[@jasonpetrich4141]

The first import I ever seen in real life was a fairlady 2+2 & it was absolutely so sick and brought me to the import world and I have never left that was 10 yrs ago !!!

[@PrizzaMike]

I absolutely love the z32 fairlady, such a perfect body design

[@Superman-tm8gv]

0:36 i didn't even realize it was a different car😅 good editing

[@IbishuPidgon]

0:33 ngl that was a clean ass transition

[@BackyardSChassis]

A few friends and I have been contemplating doing a kat in a z ourselves here in Florida,what we were thinking was to use the whole excessive adapter kit and the sr-z mounts, fuel lines just flip on the bottom of the car, actually was gonna use a hardbody flywheel and retain a vg clutch, stock driveshaft and driveshaft mount, and I literally was underneath a sr20 swapped z the other day,for mounts all they did was basically extend the pedestal towards the engine

[@eduardorafael2342]

I'm a fan of your channel! here in Brazil we don't have that variety of cars like there!! super sports cars or jdm cars. These junkyards that visit for me are a dream haha. One day I want to move to your country!!

[@Ronaldo95163]

[@draegongrime9010]

Love how informative you are man im rebuilding a single cam ka out of a d21 right now and watching this video helped me feel better about the vacuum lines there are so many on the damn diagram and I don’t wanna use half of them 😂😂

[@VerySpecificlyUnspecific]

the 300zx is my dream car, so happy to see someone enjoy it!

[@jewgs30]

finally the z getting some love

[@blanknam3d]

2:36 Worth noting, I've heard that the sole purpose of that hook is just to pull the chassis along during manufacturing. Though of course, that doesn't stop you from using it to pull a chassis along behind it lol

[@Ronnie_S]

17:11 Taco Bell is calling 😅 Excited for this Z32 build; one of my favorite cars. I like that you are using a KA24 engine; Im curious to see how it performs in the car. I assume it will help lighten and balance the car's weight distribution. Thanks for sharing!

[@Papajin68]

If you have to drill in a tight area, you can get a right angle drill or there are right angle attachments you can get for a regular drill that are really handy. Stubby drill bits can also help. I use a right-angle attachment from Milwaukee on a regular drill that takes hex bits and with a collection of stubby bits, that has gotten me out of a few tight spots (pun totally intended)! Glad you went over the vacuum lines... I need to sort all that out on my KA still as well. Good weather is just around the corner finally... time to really get after this stuff!

[@PrizzaMike]

I definitely need to look into one of those right angled bits! I can not wait for nicer weather! Looking forward to this summers progress 💪

[@devonmiller5561]

I literally get excited every time I get a notification from you Prizzamike

I always loved the 300zxs. I wish you the best and can't wait to watch it move under its own weight!

[@ae86hachi]

Just looked when you mentioned people being unsubbed and I'll be damned if I'm not one of them. Fixed that right quick.

[@zzaaiidd.]

So excited for this build, good job as usual mike!

[@lxopenfirexl7007]

Heck yeah bro, look forward to this build

[@gang0fnukka]

PRIZZA MIKE you need to invest in an auto body file belt, they work great for grinding spot welds off in tight areas, like that weird one on the firewall, suuuupperrr nice for prepping metal in weird areas before welding. usually theyre pneumatic and use alot of air.. milwalkee has a cordless one but i wonder if someone makes a wired one. i know youre a man of plug in power tools.

[@PrizzaMike]

I honestly have always wanted one of those haha Maybe someday I'll pick one up!

[@evelynsalazar6057]

I'm so excited for the build on dis one I know you are amazing with your build

[@gettricksdietryin]

You should use that tan interior for a budget sim rig build. Would make some cool content.

[@baumuab1802]

bro is cutting the hardest transitions lately

[@ashleycross2664]

Jimmy Oakes put a sr20det in his and it looks quite at home so a ka24 turbo setup should look just as cool

[@Forest__Spirit]

hell yeahh stoked for ka content 😎🔥

They make an adapter plate for the ka-z Trans. But it’s seems you got it figured out! Can’t wait to see it running!

[@LOVE-VIBES-X-PROJECT-CARS]

Should be an interesting series. I'll have to hit up Payton. His car is pretty sweet. Big fan of the VG here.

[@PrizzaMike]

I'm very curious to see how the KA feels in the Z, will definitely be interesting And Payton is a pretty cool dude! He definitely built one of the cleanest Z32's I've seen 🔥

[@jakerhinehart5810]

So glad to see this. Been thinking a 2.4 will be decent in a z. Maxzworkz or whatever does make an adapter!

What's up! I'm new to your channel and I love your videos! I want to get a project car but have a very low budget. Wondering if you have any suggestions or input on what i should be looking for and how to get this dream started. Love watching you build your car and score sweet deals. Truly an influence.

Mike loved the joke at first 😂😂. I'm so excited to see more work on your 240

[@ChrisKheluram]

KA swap the world 💪🏽

[@awong160]

Hell yeah KA-T!!!!!!!

[@kartaku132]

Honestly I think this is going to be a pretty good engine for the Z even non-turbo because I've seen people put the sr20s in them and the sr20s have like no torque the ka24 was designed for the D21 Hardbody a truck so it's a very Torquay engine for 4-cylinder so I think it's going to do a very good job in the Z

[@djaydeved]

fun fact: the engine in the video im fairly certain is a DE, the older E head kinda is meh, 3 valves per cylinder, SOHC also is it normal for OHC engines to have no actual removable bearings? as in the head is the bearing?

[@cgslidez]

Bro I had a feeling you were gonna go with a KA and when I saw you pull it from the s13 a couple junkyard vids back I just knew it 🙏

Haha good guess! 🔥

Yo whaaat That's so cool hahahaha

[@notsonic]

One of the vacuum lines you deleted might be part of the IAC system. There's a bunch of vids on KA emissions deletes, or just check out vacuum diagram. The long ones from the front of the throttle body are for the air pump and evap canister.

[@blackmagicgarage871]

So as a z and a hardbody owner... the vg and ka should share a bellhousing bolt pattern!!!!!! Don't neglect to do some research I guarantee you'll need a custom clutch. But I always told myself I'd put a single jingle on boost in my z32 if it popped!!!! Just saying the vg30de has a shit ton of bottom end reliability. It's the timing jobs and sticky injectora that get yah. Another plus. I hear alot of 240 sx owners using the z32 transmission lately .... they do have a pretty chill gear ratio
