What's your setup of choice? Konig Hexaforms (Black) with Continental ExtremeContactForces or Konig Countergrams (Polished) with Continental ExtremeContactSports. Comment Below!

[@speedacademydave]

I'm team Hexaform :D

[@charlesschwab7651]

Countergram. All day with the red.

[@joevergnetti767]

Konig Hexaforms

[@ryanbeck4826]

Is the red the same I feel like the camera makes it look like the reds are different

[@VS666]

hexaforms are a classic look and awesome sizes and weight

[@johnd830]

This car deserves a need for Speed Underground style reveal set to Riders on the Storm. Nice work as always fellas.

[@getrekt9999]

best song in the soundtrack !

[@robertaBooey69]

I am sure it would be cheap to pay for that song

[@mitch1668]

da da dum dum dum

[@TankRust]

A delicious counterpose of fury and precision during the opening and installation of the cold air intake. These are the moments of theatre that keep me coming back for more!

[@Daermos]

Love the front and side skirts! The rear bumper is a bit loud for me, I think the oe with black inlay would look pretty sharp

[@jm7-6]

The new aero looks amazing! Most people drift these cars and for good reason but I just love to see track inspired 350z's. I prefer the black Hexaforms but both wheel setups look great. The winner of this will have one sweet ride!

[@ryanmasson6905]

As a Canadian I'm not gonna lie it hurt when I heard I can't enter the giveaway :( but my girlfriend is an American citizen... 🤔

[@The_Stick]

I love these mild build and track test series. More please!

[@dc5max564]

Noo! I was so excited for this giveaway only to find out that us Canadians will not be included. Bummer. Keep up with the great content Speed Academy!

[@BrunerTuner]

I don't use the word need very often..but I NEED this Z! Brb, going to get some entries..glad to see the Z back, even if for just a few episodes. Great video as always, guys!

[@kylepetersen1915]

You guys really knocked it out of the park with this one! I remember watching this when it was built for drifting, but all the mods you did in this episode make this thing as good of a show car as it is a track car!

[@MrUltraworld]

Drifting and drag racing are murder on drivetrains. This car is just waiting to blow up.

[@tomofdutyftw4]

17:47 what was that sound 😂

[@darkmatteroats4544]

Dave was ripping cheeks

[@Celicalover]

17.48 or 17.49 some body farted lol!

[@rlscustoms]

Not gonna lie the car looks sick, you guys really know how to make a car look good and I’m a huge advocate of function before form!

[@kevinc31]

Wow that transformation is incredible. Great job guys.

[@pFbSpecV]

The nismo replica parts look great!! Nice job! I think the nismo wing would set it off! Both set of wheels look awesome also!

[@BTaylored]

Love what you guys did with this Z. The Hexaforms with the Nismo style bumpers are just perfect!

[@chrisp4899]

17m 47s who let one go 😆💨 , the nismo bumpers look great 👍

[@baileye109]

You brought that z back to life! Turned it into an awesome car, I think it looks baller with the konig hexaforms and extremecontactforces. Good luck to everyone

[@idontgotnothin]

Possibly the cleanest 350Z Ive ever seen.

[@usamababamir9957]

The reason why the bumper is flimsy up front is because the nismo v3 bumper needs an undershroud extension for it to be sturdy. Zspeed makes a great one.

[@mrmackee123]

One of the best car channels ever

[@bodhim4353]

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't like the Nismo rear end. I've never understood how to justify the squared off corners on a car that's completely round.

[@robhernandez7322]

Man that thing got better and better with every upgraded piece, nice job!👌🏼✌🏼someone will be really happy, good luck everyone!

[@g-mane7497]

Yes!!!!! I hate seeing it in the corner doing nothing. I love this car. Love the content.

[@markmartin7384]

Blue Supra is looking mighty fine!

[@OfficialParkit]

That front bumper is gorgeous!

[@duanebarnes3587]

With all the carbon fiber and red. The polished wheels and door handles are a bit of an eye sore. Overall great build keep the content coming! Dave was tearing it up on the track!

[@Brandon-C.]

Dont forget about us toque wearing enthusiasts. We get jipped out of most give-aways..(wanted that civic for deliveries). *Hexaforms FTW*

[@MarkAnthony-rb7fp]

My preference would be the polished wheel look for sure, not a big fan of the nismo looking bumpers or aero, too boxy looking for such a smooth conture car. Won't deny that level of clean and build though, you guys always do things the right way.

[@tomkermode9680]

What about a give away for all your loyal New Zealand viewers haha. Great videos as always, keep it up

[@jacquesc3166]

5-spoke Enkei equivalent: Kojin. Same kind of spokes (5), same semi-gloss black, similar low weight (flow formed). Run them on my Redline HR roadster. This looks like... big bro is all geared up for the track but a bit down on power. Imagine what Dave would have ran at TMP with a spacer, proper 3.5" intake, TB, headers and a killer tune on Uprev.

[@silverbulletS197]

The Z looks amazing! The paint looks showroom except for Petes handprint on the hood! Lol

[@benjamindavidson632]

Since the bumper is going to paint I'd suggest paint matching the door handles.

[@Stigs722]

Glad to see the 350z back

[@hankstar.1]

You guys just knocked it out of the park!! Ssssooooo nice

[@CaponeZ350]

The title said quick and easy boys? Not freaking hardly lol.. That is a masterpiece you guys built, great work of your art. Much appreciate content!

[@mitch1668]

Where else can we get content from two amazing personalities with JDM blood running through their white genetics…this channel is the absolute best!!!

[@ofthenearfuture]

Super cool build, love this series. I think the hexaforms fit better with the black tho

[@jackgray1402]

What a beautiful build. Can't wait to see it flying around the track.

[@Danielism]

That's a real shame Canadians can't win it. But I guess the masses need to be pleased. Make sure you guys constantly advertise this to get more traction

[@stewarts1302]

I can see the the colour miss-match between the parts on the front end that we're painted and the passenger door for example. If can see it in this video I'm sure it not any better in person.

[@alexandrucaragea3820]

Coolant cross over hose delete. Oil warmer delete. Tb coolant delete. Idler delete. VQ40 swap later

[@tomingebrigtsen8976]

Insane appearance package! Love the look you guys went with.

[@jessebudelman]

That R34 is mocking me right now.....I want it. Dream car right down to the color.

[@MediocreHustler]

If I win this we need to make sure speed academy is all over this thing!

[@jonathanlong32]

"Holy Smokes" 😄 should be on the next SA Tshirts.

[@markmartin7384]

100%

[@nathanielbarbeau4821]

WOW!! Such a drastic improvement!! That old drift set-up was just so so bad.

[@Nilesp81]

Throw a button style LED light in the hole on the front bumper

[@aroundomaha]

Amazing work guys! I can’t wait for the track session.

[@Jzerobarrios]

The modern "Pimp MY Ride" !!!!!! Awesome 👌

[@ciotkrispy8886]

Such a nice car, been wanting one since i was 11

[@Azaautocare]

Oh that looks good Guys you have fans from canada am here 😁😁

[@demon.virus00]

I'm gonna buy this car next year. Good way for me to think about building it

[@kaesh78]

that 350z is looking awesome guys!!! if only i lived in U.S.A! but just quietly was that a fart i heard @ 17:46? 🤣🤣🤣

[@SilviaSean]

I just placed my order 🤞🤞. I want this Z! I've been following it since you guys revealed it, but more importantly I've been sub'd since the early days in the chicken coop

[@elosillo]

HELLO FROM MEXICO, LOVE UR VIDEOS GUYS.

[@Jlexotics1]

At first I was like hmm idk but like you legit made my dream car bro

[@jdmfreak22]

Love the new black Konigs with all that meat

[@nickskolsky2560]

Looks great ! Maybe a little too much wing but I bet it sticks !

[@ericksoler1221]

That car is definitely amazing anf Id love to have it.... but I gotta admit it's like 50 different shades of red

[@HubbyHunn]

First to rock the countergrams they are 🔥

[@davidncw4613]

Duuuude!! I would not drive around the block with that 4 point harness!!!!

[@minimarc666]

nice one at 17:48 min 😂

[@tularisgp]

Lmao I had to rewind to make sure I heard what I heard.

[@the.dove.effect]

Canada gets automatic civic ex & American gets 350z track car. Yes I'm butt hurt.

[@marcosaruca5283]

I love to see the track work great vid guys

[@StalesGaming]

This is absolutely awesome, I'm in Australia and very jealous

[@corythomas9369]

Makes me miss my Z, clean ride, hopefully you guys swap out those headlights though! Keep up the good work dudes!

[@TheRB_WGC34]

Ill take all those old parts if your throwing them away!! Love these videos so much keep up good work

[@ELITEc_97]

First car giveaway in a while I’m entering, I wanted a Z but had to prioritize a 4 door car first. (Kids + Wife). So of course I bought a 2013 Infiniti G37x, I love it! But it’s not manual and not that sports car feel, or the vehicle I always wanted growing up; a Z. Also you got in my firefighter red as I just started with the fire dept. would be a super cool car to commute in for work. Wish me luck!

[@speedacademy]

Good luck, this thing rocks!

[@SINastayNate]

😮😮😮😮 such a beautiful Z!!! Think I'm in love. Would love to win this!

[@JEMeyers13]

Man. I love the look of those Countergram Konigs... but on the car they looked... off? Like. With the track setup it looked so good (maybe the black wheels just tied the aero in better?) then you revealed the Konigs on the car and the contrast killed it for me I guess.

[@RobertSutton-h7j]

14:40 hood gap can be minimized by adjusting the hood

[@Coda5610]

Needs a HR hood, sucks that the paint dont match, new parts are darker red

[@origamipostit]

Hello, loving the series but some feedback for the audio. I'm not sure but I think you might need a compressor filter for voice audio. when Pete is speaking, the louder words sound distorted and muffled at higher listening levels.

[@ImaDjentleman]

Props for putting on a de hood I was cringing thinking you were gonna go full fake hr

[@VS666]

damn this Z lookin Hella good now! those bumpers are awesome I miss my red nismo it was cosmetically much better looking than my current nismo Z 😅

[@murtgman]

Top job lads the z is looking class

[@JMacGyver1]

From what I’ve seen with actual 3rd party testing, K&N filters are neither better breathing nor better filtering compared to many other paper and non-woven filters on the market. I’m all for having filters be owner cleanable, but if they aren’t offering better flow or better filtering, then there is no good reason to use them, imho.

[@speedacademy]

It’s not just the filter its a combination of the piping, size, velocity stock that add the power on most intakes. Filters are a very small if negligible part.

[@JMacGyver1]

@@speedacademy For sure there is more to gaining power than the filter, but K&N markets the heck out of their washable cotton filters as offering better flow and filtering, which is not actually true.

[@TheWillYT]

Love seeing videos like these 🙌🏻

[@broomad]

Love the car but the rear wing could be a bit smaller for a more subtle look :-)

[@michaelallen2501]

Giveaways are cool and all. But man do I miss the track day episodes. Was hoping you guys would've caught the bug and pursued the drifting even farther.

[@seansmile]

This came out awesome !

[@mehdimohamed6291]

Ah torx bolts. Jam an alan key after it’s stripped so very versatile 🤣👌🏽

[@derek2778]

also a Canadian and a OG sub back when you guys had the old shop , would have bin nice for myself to be able to enter the give away ... but I will still follow the channel as its nice to be able to support some local content , but good luck with the build..

[@johnw4093]

I personally hate that rear bumper just looks like a chunk is missing out the middle maybe a different exhaust tip set up or a proper diffuser could make it look better but as it is it’s just trash looking.. and I couldn’t see much of a difference between hoods but personally I’d have kept the aftermarket hood on plus if the person who wins the car doesn’t like it which I doubt they wouldn’t it’s cheaper to get an oem hood then that carbon one

[@TonysTechAndCars]

Dont forget the front 2 badges on the sides you forgot about

[@karltaht2370]

I am not a Z person, but damn I want this one!

[@RJon2006]

Bought some SA gear. I’m a mustang guy but I could use a new daily driver as my Lincoln is on its last leg. Let’s see what happens!

[@matthewg3864]

Holyyy that 350z is so cool fking agressive

[@Garagetopics]

Yessss

[@earnestbunbury2103]

Big Wang Gang... Murica!

[@RR-cg2rq]

The replica bumper actually looked better than the nismo

[@antmarquis87]

Not going to lie, never liked wheels gaps, but this car looks proper.

[@RobertSutton-h7j]

14:35 "I can't even close the hood" proceeds to close the hood with minimal effort!

[@dylandominic]

bruh my friend just bought a 350z and I drive an 8th gen si and that's what the last two pimp my ride cars have been, I swear yall spying on us

[@Rosskoflex]

The 350 was my dream car after Tokyo drift came out. Now that I have a 2016 mustang GT it's not as cool to me anymore. Still a sick car tho. 🤘

[@anthony_sasquatch8056]

Looks amazing!

[@pwar-oz4mh]

there is enough youtubers giving away to the USA stick to us in Canada who dont get to enter most USA car giveaways, Bullshit

[@guindoni899]

Agreed. I try to support what limited quality Canadian KZbin content we have and they do this

[@BenDover-no7nt]

Minus the wing.. 1 big boY cocked out muffler... 👍🏻👍🏻💯

[@dakavanagh]

Those AEM gauges facing the roof are begging for a mounting plate that faces them toward the driver!

[@speedacademy]

The look like they're at an awkward angle but when driving it's actually quite easy to see them.
