RB26 240Z - Making It Legal

[@mightycarmods]

Making our S30 legal has turned out to be a huge job. We were not going to be filming the whole engineering process (explained why in the video) but we decided to take a camera along with us anyway to show you some of what went down so we hope you enjoy this rawer look at a day riding with MCM. Please smash the like button and hug a tree.

XLT means Extra Large Tomatoes!

[@martinjudd1284]

Nice Ranger guys

[@martinjudd1284]

XLT?

[@ZeShirky]

XLT - Xtra Large Titties ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@USN_Ret-]

When regulations are written using words like "appropriate," "recommended", etc that means you bribe the official with appropriate and recommended donuts, coffee, money, etc.

[@deweywolf]

California?

[@jareksobaszek8792]

That car behind is fallowing you way to close.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE GETTING TAILGATED HARD LOL I DIDNT REALISE THEY WERE TOWING IT HAHAHAHHAHAHAH

[@zannmills9562]

At least its not an Audi

[@Shockspike1]

When they jump started the RB up, the KZbin subtitles simply said.... "Music". Those subs have never been more correct!

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

bring it to Florida , you don't need to make it " legal" if it has lights tires and insurance its good. top fuel dragsters are cool as long as they have DOT approved tires on them.

[@mattmopar440]

Thats almost all of America (- California )

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

yeah also new York , new jersey and most of the northern new England states . we have no inspections here in FL and almost no sound laws ether. your good with straight pipes till after 10 pm, then its a really cheap ticket. but most cops wont bug you for loud exhaust. most of them like the laws relaxed too.

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

yeah my friend lives in bells , he said he rarely gets bugged driving his rock buggy around. with a blown LS in it and 14 inch headers. I love my country lol.

[@FelixIsMyName]

As a Brit, I find how easy it is for you guys to do things to cars crazy, but then again we do allow full blown race cars to have number plates!

[@anthonyimouche541]

In france you can't even swap your car, if you get caught you're done

[@misterjimmy81]

I think its time MCM looks into buying their own Truck so they can haul their toys around for events and tech inspect. And of course mod the truck too!

[@pikethree]

[@invisiblegamersrick1363]

that's brilliant!! very good idea

[@beardmoto]

Just a tip guys, Please get a battery with the terminals in the opposite polarity, so you’re Pos+ is not nearest to the bodywork! You can notice that any OEM fitment battery will always have the Pos+ terminal furthest from the bodywork in case of a collision, and will prevent the bodywork shorting to the terminal.

[@garystinten9339]

Beard Moto why not just use terminal covers....

[@beardmoto]

Gary Stinten dunno mate. for the sake of a $200 new battery for a car worth $100k wouldn’t you just do it properly?

[@BobMonkeypimp]

Beard Moto Or like... You know... Turn the battery around.

[@beardmoto]

Thumbobby yep, after looking back, that’ll work too

[@brobeans814]

You'll probably find that is OEM fitment, easier to just flip the battery around and extend the wiring then buying a new battery and still having to extend the wiring.

[@nbrowser]

Many props Marty and Moog, going the whole kit to get this car completely legal, you don't see many other youtube channels going to this length to get a car certified as legal to be on the road. Thanks for showing even us in Canada and around the world what it takes to import and get a modified car legal in your country. Folks, these guys are legit.

[@VixzenMusic]

Shout out to all the NSW residents and who understand the process of roadworthy and engineering! we have a hard life in modified cars.

[@Candisa]

[@SaladFingers_]

It's all worth it in the end.

[@xblisitjosh6736]

I still can't get over how gorgeous the S30 is 😍 shout out Greg the engineer and the fail pass brake dude, mad JDM respect to the MCM crew for doing the build bringing mad S30 beauty into the world, congrats guys can't wait to see what's coming next.

Me too!!

[@Dajirushi]

[@Brozza]

Woah, the whole intro in the car I was thinking "gee, that car is getting awfully close to the back of them" but then I realized.

[@chrispenn715]

Wow - Australia has some really complicated rules and regs - I thought the UK was fussy, but in comparison to Australia, we seem fairly lay back...... In the UK, an imported car that isn't already type approved for the UK has to pass an IVA (Individual Vehicle Approval) test. It's quite an involved test which takes a few hours, but its done in one place and the car isn't dismantled. All cars over three years old have a mandatory annual inspection which takes about an hour. Strangely, when a car hits 40 years old, it becomes exempt from annual tests...........

[@andrewausterfield6710]

Supposedly the reason for the 40 year exemption is: - There aren't actually that many of them - Many mechanics don't have the expertise to check them - Most of them are 'collector' or 'classic' cars and so are generally well maintained - Statistically very few are actually involved in accidents I think they are still covered by the expectation that they are maintained and compliant with the regs and can be ticketed if pulled over.

[@chrispenn715]

Andrew Austerfield yes and there's been a lot of controversy about the exemption. I personally think it's a bad thing.

[@andrewausterfield6710]

There's always controversy when they change anything. I used to own a classic in the UK and honestly I did 500 miles a year, so effectively it had to be MOT'd every 500 miles which is a little excessive. Perhaps a change to a test every X'000 miles might have been appropriate? Here in CA I need to get a smog every 2 years and it's becoming harder and harder to get one done on anything that doesn't have ODB II installed.

[@boingkster]

Honestly for the average vehicle owner its not this involved. The guys are dealing with BIG changes to a car - engines and power outputs it was never designed for, components and emission standards that are much more modern, safety aspects to go along with the increases in power/mass/etc. The regulations on that in NSW are in the Vehicle Standard Bulletin v14, or VSB14. Google that for more info, its surprisingly reasonable. For your average owner annual registration involves a simple mechanical check (20min & $41 in NSW) to ensure safety for you and other road users, then compulsory third party insurance (about $570) and registration fee ($66 plus road tax based on vehicle weight, eg: $211 for under 975kg). All up $887 for a small car in NSW annually, including compulsory insurance. Cars over 30 years old here can be registered on 'club' or 'historic' registration, which allows trips for servicing, troubleshooting and nominated club runs (eg every Sunday to Location X). The cost for this is about $100 a year, with some forms allow 60 days of use so long as the trips are recorded - not just club runs etc.

[@chrispenn715]

boingkster thanks for the info. The 'normal' annual test does seem on a par with ours (and sensible). I know the boys have made huge changes, so fair enough the car needs testing. Overall the Australian regs do seem more onerous tho - starting with the import rules, plus the use restrictions you mentioned. Cheers

[@emberman123]

In Germany you would probably have a similar procedure regarding registration and you would have to regularly get it rechecked (every 2 years for older cars). It´s especially tricky with own modifications and best is to document everything you changed and find a friendly inspector.

[@sinformant]

"Plate break test": what the quality control department performs in a china factory.

[@ziomorph]

your capitalization of china really confused me

[@sinformant]

Man, it takes dedication to be a car guy down under, the government works very hard to make it as difficult as possible....well done guys!!

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

Good to see these results. It would have sucked if, “upgraded” parts didn’t out perform the OEM equipment. Which to some degree, would explain why they always have the disclaimer,”performance parts are for off road application use only”

[@AfferbeckBeats]

There are some rules about modification where you can't make things too strong because it changes how the car crumples on impact and whatnot. And probably to prevent people creating armoured cars. So if you're chopping and changing things, you can't just slap a bunch of thick steel in there to make it strong, which would be a good thing, but in a crash it won't bend the way it was supposed to and might kill you or others.

[@Robert-vp6xf]

Another great Episode. Congratulations Marty and Moog. Fans if you aren't on the Facebook or the Forum get there. Its big fun.

I don't want to be that guy, but I'm glad I live in America, this entire process would've just been " Hey can I register my car? Does it have 4 wheels and drive? Yes. Then absolutely my guy drive it off! ". I appreciate some inspection but gosh this seems like it gets a little overkill, what do you guys think ?

[@mightycarmods]

Dan Richardson we drove the Roadkill Impala on public streets in the USA. In Australia you’d probably be arrested. Some people say it’s over regulation and refer to Australia as a “nanny” state or country. But on the flip side, most of the time we know that any cars on the road around NSW at least should be roadworthy. Interested to hear what the process would be like in other countries and areas.

[@RogueCowTurd]

pretty dumb how in qld you can buy a car and as long as you never sell it you wont need to get it inspected at any point the floor could have rust holes, head could be leaking and brake booster might be fucked but as long as the cops dont notice it you could drive it daily without consequence.

[@PBMS123]

I'm glad I don't live in America where people can drive on the road with cars that haven't had brakes tested that they even work, let alone whether they meet specific regulations... When I saw Roadkill and they were driving cars with flashlights taped on as "headlights" I was glad.

[@mothman.industries]

Even in the states, dealing with an import comes with all sorts of paperwork. There's far less of it for cars over 25 years old, but it's still a ton of work to do. There are also several states that actually have vehicle safety inspections, and honestly, they're a good thing. Having seen some of the shit that rolls down the road, road-worthiness tests should really be a thing. Hell, it might even result in people actually taking care of their damn cars.

[@giantplaceholder]

In Russia you'll have to pass inspection every time when you're signing up for or renewing insurance (except when the car is 3 yrs old or newer). Test is comprehensive, but not that brutal as your Engineering or British MOT. Unfortunately, most drivers are just buying inspection papers from commercial inspection services (which is illegal, in theory) and then buy their insurance. By default, cops are not allowed to check inspection papers, because it's implied that the insurer already did so. Because of that, depending on the region of the country, you can meet overpowered Soviet 4x4's with 1UZ-FE's in them (and they still go with ~70 bhp on paper) without any additional permits, old Lada hatchbacks with more rust than metal in their body, and even cars converted to CNG or LPG by some self-taught mechanic in his own garage. All of that -- technically illegal, but because you can buy your inspection under counter for something like 10-20 USD, well, you get the picture.

[@The_True_]

Those engine sounds are purring smooth as silk, above and beyond well done!

[@Moosehung]

At the start of the video that guy following you so close was pissing me off! Until i realized you were towing the 240 lol!

[@GeenIdee2]

In the Netherlands we have "RDW" which is the dutch vehicle authority. Most shops are "RDW certified", and when they are, they are certified to do tech inspection only. To register any changes or an imported vehicle we need to go to one of several HQ's

[@cyclonicleo]

Glad I smashed Like so early on! Engineering is a massive pain but its a vital part of building a safe, roadworthy car. One of my own long term goals is to build a kit car, but the engineering requirements just for each state in Australia is a nightmare. Plus, I need a house with a two car garage, tools, money...ummm.... yeah. Great work guys!

[@veganpotterthevegan]

cyclonicleo Lame goal, the work is largely already done with a kit and the car it's built for

[@TempoMontages]

cyclonicleo just move to the USA it would probably be cheaper because no regulations on cars besides having brakes lol

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Yeah, but if you do get into a crash in USA you'll be bankrupt from legal/medical bills so it all works out. Things are pretty different across Australia, like some states your car needs to pass a check every year, some states you just keep a car registered and it's all good, even if it's a total rust nugget that should probably have been taken off the road years ago. And the cops don't give a shit about a rusty old Falcon with the muffler held on with a coathanger, but they'll bust a guy with a clean Skyline because it's 2mm too low...

[@nos676]

*long term dreams.

[@biferose158]

"kit car" is a blanket term, which in some places such as the UK can be largely used to describe a car made by one's self. While we are aware it's not technically a "kit" car, the laws and testing fall under the same category. So he may be referring to that?

[@marscruz]

My old town home for many years... Santa Cruz. Nice to see someone in Oz wearing the Skate Shop T-shirt. Nice work on the Zeeeeeee car.

[@jetjazz05]

DRUM TO DISK? Dude here in the USA vehicles are still sold with drum brakes quite often. I'm not 100% sure on this, but in the US I think most states only require you to meet the safety regulations for the date your car was made. I live in Florida, you don't even have to get a car inspected here, so illegal and dangerous modifications/vehicles ready to blow up on the road are a common thing. People with 20 year old cars run around with worn out rotors and brake pads, bald tires, and blown out brake lights and turn signals all the time. In one way it's nice, you can put a swaybar on your car and not worry about what it'll do to your registration or affect inspections, but at the same time it allows thousands of dangerous vehicles to just roam the streets.

[@JulianKapa]

Almost every ute (including the Ford Ranger they drove) has drums at the rear. Same with some light/micro -sized cars (although they probably don't need discs, unlike heavy utes which can tow up to 3.5 tonnes (or 2 cars)).

[@SirBigzalot]

Jesse C if it was stock it would be fine but you can’t just upgrade an engine to multiple times original power and have stock brakes.

In Poland you need to register car with new engine with new number and go through checkup if you changed size of I. BUT if you taken 0,9 with 41HP to 0,9 with 95HP no one is checking it. The size is the same so nothing changed.

[@paulbutikofer4284]

In British Columbia Canada you don't even need to get a safety check (vehicle inspection), if the car is already registered in the province. Just go to ICBC and get you registration, plates and insurance. But they do random vehicle inspections at the side of the road, if there's any problems you have 30 days to fix it or take it off the road.

[@xTerraH]

You shouldn't use the negative of a jump pack on the battery. Attach it to a piece of grounded metal. You guys likely know how rare it is for a battery to blow up like that anyway, but considering your audience, probably best to do it the other way round next time. Just my two cents anyway haha, still love you guys.

[@outbackelectricalnz432]

Jbwifi what difference would this make at all ?

[@Kristo99]

it doesnt matter on a jumppack, when you use another car to jumpstart then you ground the negative clip on metal

[@xTerraH]

Wanganui Instrument Works a couple of reasons, the first being that connecting to ground metal actually creates a better return path to the battery pack which equals better current flow. And the second more critical reason is because battery's can leak hydrogen, especially when charging, and creating a spark around that hydrogen can cause a pretty nasty explosion.

[@xTerraH]

Sami Bätman it matters exactly the same on a jump pack; a jump pack is just a battery with inbuilt leads.

[@CraigOverend]

When some batteries are charged they can produce hydrogen gas and a spark at the battery can make them go boom, particularly older wet cell lead acid or an overcharged battery. So you attach the positive to the battery and then negative to a ground away from the battery as the spark is then away from the battery. The battery they had looked liked a sealed lead acid battery that usually have an expansion chamber and a vent when there is excessive gas produced.

Wow somebody was tailgating you guys the whole time you were driving! 😂😂😂👍👍 keep up the vids boyz love em!

[@tobetinkering]

Please no background music while you talk, make it so much harder to hear what you are saying

[@kasnitch]

no worries about the plate break test mate . always goes good at the range for me .

[@EdibleOutdoors]

God I hate tailgaters.

[@gregritenour9910]

When someone is tailgating me I slam on the brakes and if they hit me, I just tell the insurance company the damages are worst than they really are so I can get enough money for a different car. I'll fix the old one and repeat the process if someone else starts tailgating again.

[@TheJoshuaborden]

The hoops you guys have to jump through in Australia to get a car road ready is CRAZY!

[@jwebber1667]

That hand tho

[@jeeper426]

XLT at least for ford in the U.S. is "Extra Luxurious Trim" its the one with most if not all of the "bells and whistles" or loaded with extras, the 240 is looking sweet guys, long journey with an awesome result

[@veragarcia9594]

[@andydwd]

[@Reece_Hart]

[@real32233]

Reece Hart lol

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Wow, good ears

[@celticsoldia]

Legend.

[@nathanmaret2465]

Don't forget that it "Changes" later! LOL @14:19

[@davidwindsor2866]

Good to see you are getting close to a driving car. It all starting to pay off

[@Elderberry_Johnson]

Xlt means extra luxury trim.

[@myownsite]

Aoi in this case, fancier plastic?

[@Elderberry_Johnson]

luuzeri ya. It just adds a plastic silver trim to the interior of the truck, better seats, and different colors. I have the xlt in my 1995 f-150

[@finharms9439]

Aoi also better suspension and electric windows and in some cases a raido!! If youre into the older ones such as i am.. im in the proses of making a 1988 F150 a bad street machine

[@finharms9439]

Oh a XLT lariat btw

[@jongeddes09]

The XLT really isn't any special upfit. My company vehicle is a '17 F150 XLT and it's base model except power windows, power seats, keyless entry, and CD/Satellite/Aux

[@craigbarth409]

Good to see you boys driving a ranger. Welcome to the club.

[@TheJohnlyh]

*Dear Mighty car mods* , i am still curious why was the original engine of the 240z not imported due to asbestos issues whereas the Mira had no problem being imported with its original engine?

[@lukeainsworth521]

Mira is a lot newer I think, may not have used any asbestos at all

[@goldenone1976]

The original engine wasn't imported due to emissions issues.. Namely that no matter how well it was tuned it would emit to many particulates and hydrocarbons (something a country as hot and dry as oz has to take more seriously)

[@o0motorhead0o]

Probably a loophole as the Mira was technically parts and not a car

[@johnjosephson9277]

The boys have repeatedly said it was about asbestos rules being enforced properly recently. Which caught them off guard because it hadn't been an issue on their previous imports...

[@garystinten9339]

o0motorhead0o correct for the Mira. As for the bitsa behind them... Emissions and asbestos

[@jamescorvett]

i love these old Datsun 240z ! Ive owned a couple and a few friends got hooked on them too back in the late 80s. But rusty took over, and they get hauled to the recycle center not long after, or you roll them into a cow or deer ending those good times. Brakes always seemed to be the first to rust out too, which really sucks when you're going 160 mph. =)

[@patome]

removed latest video?

[@mikeaguilar5764]

You know what's really fun? Santa Cruz was one of the places we liked to hang out at as teenagers in the 80s.

[@roander1337]

@20:12 HA! 2JGASM! Edit: commented to early, the guys also saw it! Lol.

[@Saadi_Lyfe]

Rohan Anderson but u actually saw it before they did.. but then u saw it after they uploaded the video... but then u actually noticed it even before they did while recording... the dilemma..

[@ericheydenreich2846]

It's all coming together for the epic Fair Lady, will be super excited for the first drive.

[@rigostar14]

The video was removed boo

[@perpelle]

That brake check thing is an annual check in certain countries during an MOT (all four wheels on barrels to measure the individual brake force).

[@mattwilliams4919]
