RB26 240Z - Registration (and Bad News)

Haha lmao, Master of Nuggets. Master, Master, Master of Nuggets is ripping through gears. Twisting through roads and smashing through gears. Love the Master of puppets by Metallica. One of my favorite songs.

Best episode in ages, the dramatic tension was palpable. I’m frothing to see it on the road, even just 8 seconds of it, that’s about how long it takes....

[@dark_canada]

for those asking they prob forgot to blur some info out on the paper work so they fixed it and reuploaded it

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

The mentioned European wheel is the Minilite, a classic on British sporty cars from the late '60s on up.

[@FFVoyager]

Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus they are still made. minilite.co.uk/

[@samwalker7567]

Was going to say, it's a Minilite copy. Which, arguably, is why a Watanabe copy looks good on the Mini.

[@DjDolHaus86]

I was just about to ask if watanabe's were a minilite copy

[@brrebrresen1367]

the Minilite is also a copy though of the original Compomotive ML-series. they are though not made anymore and have not been for eons and are not road legal as they are made of composites. (was a wheel for rally use only) think even the modern alloy Compomotive ML is even made on the same production facilities as the Minilite.

[@ForeverNeverwhere1]

Børre Børresen the MiniLight was made for years before Compomotive started as a company.

[@-paulmp]

All that... and we didn't even get to see it on the road chopping up a Mazda 3...

Maybe they should put it up against an RX-3 26b. That might be interesting.

[@raginglibra1734]

Hi from the UK, hope you don't mind this kind of comment but I just wanted to tell you guys that me and my dad watched the 11 second car build together while he was in the hospital, sadly he passed away at the end of April. He really enjoyed your channel and you made him laugh up until the end, I thank you both so much for that. Keep doing what you do best and know you made an old man happy. Thanks guys I'm a big fan.

[@joeychaseable]

The car needs a wooden round ball gear shift knob.. Similar to a Porsche Carrera GT....

Man these behind the scenes videos are awesome. It's nice to break away from the mold and see a different style from you guys.

[@NicsCarChannel]

I just can't believe how you were able to get a old car registered for the road with that much custom work. You guys have done such a good job with it and it is a awesome looking little car. It really goes to show "who" you know to be able to do it all. This car must be a dream come true.

[@cuylerleonard3920]

You think that's bad?.... Thats the nicest dmv ive ever seen.... Here in america they have fewer uncomfortable chairs than people and cram you in a crowded room thats way overfilled

[@keno2116]

Cuyler Leonard shit they got it inside of a mall. I can get a pretzel and register my car at the same time.

[@cuylerleonard3920]

Boner Patrol right? Lol

[@Electricalwav]

Just what I was thinking. In LA you get all the above plus rude people that just hate their job.

[@tonyhong20]

I just go to a different nearby city to do that. Its about a 20 minute drive for me but it's worth it because there's more chairs than there are people and the wait is usually about 10-15 minutes

[@masjuggalo]

That depends where you live. Back home it's over a hr in line to be told what line to stand in for the rest of the day. Where I'm at now worst has been. 40 mins. On and out no questions no POI just hesa the papers and the cash and here's your tags.

[@eclipsegst9419]

This is why i love the US. i V8 swapped a 4cyl Foxbody and paid hella cheap insurance. Did the same with a v6 Firebird, and swapped turbo and awd in an Eclipse. All they do here is check that the VIN on the title matches the VIN on the dash. Built not bought ftw!

[@jaydunbar7538]

Keegan Johnson problem is then if you wreck it they also won't pay for the mods, they will only pay for that cheap 4cyl. Unless your only keeping liability anyway then it doesn't matter.

[@eclipsegst9419]

Jay Dunbar and then i pull the engine and trans and use the 500 bucks to cover most of another roller 😉

[@tmanji2221]

If you dont insure what you actually have you wont get paid for what you actually have.

[@tmanji2221]

A lot of your problems in life are brought upon by yourself.

[@imnota]

Except that in case of an accident, the insurance won't pay. Here you could swap any engine in anything even tho it's highly illegal, but people at the inspection stuff are so dumb they wouldn't notice that an ls doesn't belong in a miata. But after a crash, you're fucked, they won't pay and you might get kicked out of your insurance.

[@woopimagpie]

Gemini's don't really cost that much, that guy has a super low km factory original Sandpiper (which was just a model variant really, nothing particularly special about it), and even then he's kidding himself that he'll get that much for it. It's worth, like, 15 grand tops. Hell, the guy who built the CDT homologation cars for racing is selling his personal TG model, it has loads of mods and is a 100% unique car (only one was ever built) and he's only asking 18 grand. There's quite a few other Geminis for sale, all for well under 10 grand.

[@theviking5667]

It has been really neat watching this car come from found/bought/shipped, to project to a registered vehicle. I have really enjoyed watching the entire process, and honestly it makes it easier for me to appreciate the lack of restrictions we have over here. Thank you guys for everything you do on these videos.

[@cliff4ever]

No spacers, no blowoff valves...Australian laws suck

[@eeezeejs]

Little flip-up needs a magnet on the top to hold it open while you are using it aswell!

[@wtmf80]

This is exactly what I was going to say. Either put a magnet to hold it up or a spring. Holding that flap up to do anything with the stereo while driving would get old really fast.

[@maskwith]

It does has a magnet up top however I got the opening angle wrong and it hits the dash before the magnet engages, oh well next version!

[@eeezeejs]

Still pretty awesome!

[@scottpaul7427]

I would have made it to open down instead of up

[@Sloppyjalopy123]

Seeing what hurdles you guys have to jump makes me appreciate where I live. But it shows true dedication, you guys are awesome. Best build so far IMO!!

[@Bassalicious]

As a German this all seems fairly standard to me. For some reason the people doing the legal stuff try to throw as many stones as they can right in front of your feet (or was it wheels? :D) or they just outright forbid the use of your vehicle on public streets. The import rules might be a little softer though, I never checked.

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

The $100,000 Datsun is LEGAL!

[@Metalwolf765]

Might be a dumb question, but you know a bunch of welders and machinists. You have the spacers and wheels, why couldn't you weld those spacers to the inside of the wheels and then turn the welds back on a lathe? Seems like a super easy fix. Doesn't really affect functionality, and it's definitely safer than just using spacers. Could even repaint after the work and they'd look factory. If the wheels are steel and the spacers are aluminum, what's stopping you from having steel spacers made up and doing the same? You'd have them in a few days and you can still switch to your custom jobs when they show up in January.

[@vkturbo7676]

Its all about the force being put on the studs, over in NSW they are pretty hard on it

[@Stratos1988]

If you'll make steel spacers and weld them to the rotor on wheel side/outside... Is it still a spacer or just custom brake disc ?

[@Iain240]

lenon1980 I like the way you think.

[@nootherusernamesleft]

Or weld alloy spacers to the wheel of choice and fit appropriate length studs.

[@walterwhite3725]

That would require engineering certification itself

[@brotang2953]

Or keep them alloy and weld them to the rims. Then turn it down so looks uniform and paint it.

[@nekoroms]

Here it would be instant fail if you welded brake or suspension parts at all :D

[@nolanboyer6883]

Your countries laws suck also

[@honestnuisance]

[@Lennonsoda]

Also in Italy, almost any modification that has to do with any mechanical or structural component is not allowed, and no kind of inspection can make it legal.

[@R2D2trashcan]

Just get it registered and put the spacers in

[@datrakapo4807]

Fog and then get pulled over and fined and defected

[@tehDmez]

The process to get a car rego'd in Australia is austounding to go through. In Canada you can just import a car, basically get the tires aligned and assuming everything is in working order get a safety, then after that is done you could literally swap a ferrari engine in, put 1 foot wheel spacers on it and never have to get it checked ever again unless it was in an accident.

[@tehDmez]

Depending on the state I guess. Places like Cali are usually pretty shit to import a car to.

[@SoggyCardboard55]

Yeah to get it registered in New South Wales your car needs to be inspected to get a blue slip (piece of paper saying it is safe and Roadworthy), then you need to pay for compulsory third party insurance (compensates people who are injured or killed by your vehicle) and then you line up for hours at the RMS to pay for rego. It's super expensive too (can be up to $1000 AUD)

[@comethiburs2326]

aint that bad. registering in belgium/france goes from 2 to 5K depending on how modified the car is. they can even ask for road tests.

[@Mrsquiggley]

The rules do vary across Australia, for example where I live has yearly inspections no matter what.

I can't wait to see rolling shots of this beautiful machine out in the road again thanks a lot and always congratulations on your success

[@dave1135]

My state, Missouri, in our county, a car has to pass a basic safety inspection, plus have at least liability insurance and property taxes paid to license a car. In Iowa, our next state up, NO safety inspection is required, as long as it has four wheels and a engine, they are like, sure! We'll get you plates in a jiffy! I worked in a garage as a tech, and some of the cars I saw come in, well, let's just say I have seen better and safer cars in the junk yard.

[@Incurafy]

And that's why we have strict safety laws in Australia. Sure, it might be easier to get an absolute piece of shit registered in other parts of the world, but do you really want to be doing 100 down the high way with one of those next to you? The people who call our laws bullshit wouldn't say the same if a wreck killed one of their family members because the car shouldn't have been on the road.

Been watching you guys for a while now and this builds just spot on man. I like the whole setup and blending of original and modded is bang on for my tastes anyway. From 100mtrs she's just another zed, from 50mtrs you can see she's a minta, get up close and ya start to appreciate the work and then get underneath and cream your jocks. The logic behind the sounds was on point hard out. From the bush in nz, props to you guys man, awesome car. I used to read all the Aussie car mags as a kid and even at 6yrs old I felt sorry for you guys and your laws. My old mans an engineer and an old hoon and here its still gotta be done properly but nearly anything goes. Nowhere near as restrictive here and still a hassle, so yeah hats off to yaz.

[@Smitty-yg3ps]

These behind the scenes episodes are always great

[@Hoggdoc1946]

I always thought I would like to move to Australia, but after watching and listening to all the laws, taxes and BS you have gone through with this build I don't think so. I thought there couldn't be anyplace worse than California for rules and regs, but guess not. I am curious, what was the final cost of getting the car registered and insured, I bet a bunch. I sure hope the 240 is everything you hoped it would be, it surely has cost a ton of time and dollars.

frankly you could of uploaded the full 2 hours of sitting there... and we'd sit there and watch . cause you guys are that awesome !!

[@TheFootbaldd]

Not sure If you are referring to my comment; however, What I mean was that you could skip the headunit all together. Get a 2x4 or 8 DSP module, and you could use a front end for example a Raspberry pi with an off shelf TI dac (if analog DSP, otherwise I2S into the DAC). You could put that all behind the stock faceplate with simple power and volume control. Use AD hoc WIFI for remote operation without any display from your phone. With a configuration like that it would look stock, skip the debate-ably poor performing bluetooth, and have a kick ass DSP with programmable cascaded FIR filters and time alignment.... Not to mention bi-amping and impedance matched amp-speakers. Btw I really like the build. One day I might get into a Z. Keep up the good work.

Guys move to Florida, no regulations whatsoever

[@FloridaFX]

I second this, all you need is title, registration, license, and a plate.

[@TARWCreations]

Why is it such a ball ache registering cars in America and Australia?! I'll never complain about cars in the uk ever again! We got it easy!

[@GraxCat]

America is only like half as bad as the UK when it comes to registering cars though. In states like florida anything with 4 wheels can be registered. Im hoping more states take that approach, cause seriously, fuck red tape

[@nekoroms]

Here you basically cannot mod a car at all..only small stuff like wheels and tires and bodykits..if you increase power then it becomes a true pain

[@danielnelson4881]

Jan Andersson Damn Jan.. Here sounds like a terrible place for car enthusiasts.

[@chucky29949]

Parts of America are ridiculously lax. I drive my spec miata race car on the street sometimes, insured and registered as a stock miata lol it has a full cage, straight pipe, harnesses, fire system, etc

[@DougalR]

Tbf we dont have it that easy really, insurance is a PITA.

[@Dedmuus]

ayyy it's back!

[@Dedmuus]

first

[@jamesruralsparkynz3504]

Awesome build guy's and thanks for taking us along with you.

[@rednax1396]

I love the Fairlady, you've made it your own with the comforts you want, nobody else's opinion if it's right or not should matter as you're the one who's gonna be driving it. Sooo jealous.

[@terracethornhill]

Almost wound up in the sanitarium trying to register the thing that should not be.

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Ooo. I see what you did there. 🤘🎸 reference Nice one.

[@Me497]

Unfortunately his hat didnt fade to black

[@u1richh]

I'd reckon that One problem kept him from getting it registered. Seemed like The Day That Never Comes. Oh well, at least The Memory Remains.

[@jeepsterdaddy37]

Why don't you just use the wheels that are on it now to get it registered and after its legal put the wheels that came on it from Japan with the spacers. I doubt cops will pull you over to check for spacers. Or am I wrong about that?

[@andersjjensen]

The problem with that is that if they get in an accident the insurance company can rightfully deny coverage because the car is illegally modified.

[@NathanSGuitar94]

That and hundreds of thousands of people will know it's running spacers, not a wise thing to do when MCM is one of KZbins biggest motoring channels

[@AMLagonda]

Goonzsquad might be caching up lol

[@jeepsterdaddy37]

NathanSGuitar94 that makes sense.

[@nitrokiller9959]

What if you welded the spacers onto the wheel? Therefore making them into the wheel

[@comethiburs2326]

the load on the bearings would still be wrong. add the risk of breaking the studs, the fact that insurance WILL say fuck off if they see them on your wreck... i'd say get a proper offset, or custom, one piece extended floating brake rotors.

[@Iain240]

That's actually not a bad idea at all. The welds wouldn't be structural but technically they wouldn't be spacers any more. As far as I know modifying your wheels is allowed.

[@colinhawkins8265]

Holy moly. What a process. Congrats on finishing! Can't wait to see this thing doing some skids between date nights.

[@nugley]

Thanks! I feel your pain and your joy. I once cut a sunroof hole in a fibreglass kit car so I could send the panel off for testing, to make sure it exceeded Marine Standards. Then I got a Rebodied Vehicle Certificate, which is easy to say, and my daily driver was the only VW/Explorer ever registered in Queensland. I drove The World's Coolest Car (IMHO) for years, then moved to NSW and couldn't just transfer the rego, so I parked it in a paddock, partly because it was properly dangerous to drive.

[@TDPEquinox]

Why don't you buy a Mazda 3?

[@spoder5691]

gotta be a Mazda 323 astina and not just a mazda 3

[@dorothysemau9624]

Mps

[@Shadow90760]

Or an RX3

[@SoadOwnsUrFace]

Sp25+T

[@tepidtuna7450]

Or 3 Mazdas. D'oh, that's 4. Is there a Mazda 4 yet? WAITING.

[@ClutchKickJunkies]

MetallicA writing a new awesome album n getting jdm cars road worthy in australia, its impossible! sad but true! :P

[@Sharklops]

Lars suing people because their cars look like his

[@ClutchKickJunkies]

im surprised mcm have gotten away with wearing metallica tops over the years lol

[@MafiaboysWorld]

So close no matter how far Couldn't be much more for the car Forever trust in GT-R And nothing else matters. 😎

[@ezacher4634]

Used to be any LHD car had to be converted to RHD period. Now that adds up! Been told things have changed in that point now.

[@ernawinarnihs]

Can you 1j Swap a Train so it goes Choo Choo???

[@IcemanJD08]

I like how you went about with this build. I would say it is a modernized pure jdm experience with how you have set it up

[@ivanbooysen5397]

Damn glad for you guys! Been following this as long as I can remember. Love it and hope to see more of it!
