So cool. I can't wait to see how this project goes. I've always loved the 300ZX and I'm routinely impressed with your work. Looks like you've got a good start here.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thank you!

[@daniesalex7073]

Good to see you making progress on multiple cars

[@ElectricSuperCar]

More to come!

[@J.P.__]

I'm always impresse with the packaging on cars

[@metalworker3]

Progress… nothing like uncovering the road ahead. Nice to have a second set of hands, I’m sure! Good luck!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

You got that right!

[@bradbrowatzke7236]

Another amazing video, Jeremy! This was almost like disassembling an aircraft the way they had things built and routed. Your organization will definitely help when it comes time to put everything back together. Keep up the great work!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks again!

[@Draconis8888]

Crazy to see how many fasteners, bolts, screws, etc were used. Kudos to you for taking it all out properly! Nice job!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks for the comment!

[@newscoulomb3705]

Thanks for the walkthrough! Some of the plastic in my 20+ year old trucks is also disintegrating as I pull pieces out, too.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Yikes!

[@pip5461]

Definitely a mammoth task and one that I'll follow with eyes wide open...!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks for watching!

[@lthg18]

i really like the time lapse - it shows how much work it actually is, without getting boring - good progress!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks!

[@hippie-io7225]

Good tear down video! One feature that I would be interested in is a conversion of cab air filtering. It has always bothered me how many fumes and gasses enter into the interior of a car while city driving.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Great suggestion!

[@michaelnewdigate4509]

I take mine apart all the time so I know the struggle, so many parts! Love the project.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Yes! Thank you!

[@Cuberaiser]

ah.. Ron Swanson, Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes.. Great job man! love the content!!!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Hey, thanks!

[@phairlyoddparent3972]

You’ve definitely got the car to a state in which I would give up 😆 can’t wait to watch the rest!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

More to come!

[@griffie84]

Keep up the fantastic content. You channel will only grow and grow and grow. I am looking forward to the regular videos.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

I hope so too!

[@Gonza1000]

Nissan 300ZX was my dream car in the 90s. Can't wait to see the final result. Awesome project 😁

[@ElectricSuperCar]

You and me both!

[@jakestarboy]

I have no clue how you keep track of all the bolts that goes on each part. Amazing work as always!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks for the comment!

[@alanl3511]

I owned a 1990 300zx… it’s the most over engineered car I have ever owned.. even Nissan service technician said the same thing.. 6 piston brakes up front, 4 piston brakes in the rear… amazing

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Super complex!

[@fladder1]

Cool new project, can't wait to see the end result. Tip for future projects though; Before starting the teardown of a classic try to get either a Haynes manual or manufacturer/dealer official one. Those contain how to assemble/disassemble the entire vehicle, including torque values, schematics for the electronics (including colour coding/voltage and resistance values), and more

[@ElectricSuperCar]

I have the service manual. 32 year old manual was not much help

[@christoskaragiannis7973]

The client builds provide some great content! I really hope you fully recover financially and get make this channel your dream job, you really deserve it!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

I hope so too!

[@deanmcmanis9398]

Wow! So much to do. Great progress!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Yes! Thank you!

[@RealRickCox]

A good dashcam can make the difference between paying a big insurance deductible and higher insurance premiums and holding the person who hit you accountable for all that. Wise investment!!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

👍

[@timbrichau]

love to see your editing game constantly improve! keep it up!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks Friend!

[@cuzx1]

Great show as always.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks again!

[@michaelmaasen872]

Great video as usual! Keep it up 🙂

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks! 😀

[@hvu6037]

I can see why Tesla went to extreme in assembling their cars' interior with minimalism. So many pieces of hardware and the amount of labor required to built!

[@Martin-delta]

Great video as always. I do find some of the music a bit distracting compared with the older videos.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

[@dmbworks8094]

im glad im not to far behind on this one. ive been holding onto a 08 vw r32 to tesla swap.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Nice!

[@User-tt6ig]

Very Well🎉

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks 🤗

[@suryavanshib]

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 Best wishes 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks ✌️

[@rjung_ch]

Your methodology will be beneficial for sure. Lots of work, so many cables. And is it worse in modern cars or does the bus systems help to minimize it? Cheers 👍💪✌

[@ElectricSuperCar]

2014 Porsche was easier to get rid of wiring than this car

[@lasersterling]

Great progress!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks Sterling!

[@stevet8631]

Awesome project so far. Funny to hear how KZbin started for you. Hopefully it can continue to grow and eventually surpass your old day job in terms of income!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Well...that may take some time. Currently KZbin income puts me below the poverty level. But then I can make more decent money with customers.

[@llnrsls_07]

so satisfying

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks for the comment!

[@plokmko0]

I wonder what the weight delta will be btw ICE and EV ?

[@ElectricSuperCar]

We will find out in the end

[@kylenorris9585]

My Favorite Car of all time Hope it rips.

[@eslmatt811]

When you review the dashcam footage, can you read plate numbers of the cars around you?

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Yes

[@KerchumA222]

I would have disconnected those computers before testing the basic body control functionality (I know you said you pulled the fuses, but still).

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Good call

[@moreybandel5560]

Great video! Hey, I was wondering what did you ever do about your broken camera? Did you get it replaced? Take care and keep moving forward!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Working on it

[@moreybandel5560]

@@ElectricSuperCar Ok!

[@Essential_OS]

2:35 Not sure if you know it or not but I'm gonna leave it here anyways. the fast blinking of the indicator is called "Hyperflashing" which is caused either by a faulty indicator relay, or the wrong type of relay used for the bulb (or LED lamp). the relay works by cutting off the power when the current draw reaches a certain level then it switches to the off position which then goes back on. this being said LED lamps draw very little current so when the relay cuts off the current quickly reaches 0 so it turns back on. for this purpose you have to use either a new relay for the bulb OR thewiring has some issue with it. or if you want to change to LED lamps you have to use LED specific relays. keep in mind, newer relays are Solid State relays which are much much more reliable BUT they don't have this tick tick sound, so companies add the "tick tick" via either a buzzer or the speaker themselves... love the process by the way🙌🙌Keep up the amazing work!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks for the insights!

[@leger13g]

Can you show us how you decided what to keep?

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Can do!

[@batchint]

I might be interested in that range rover thing… well it’s not a rolls…🎉

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Ok

[@GamingWithURO]

Is it possible the power steering module in the footwell is for the HICAS rear wheel steering system that some of these had? If so, you'll have to figure out either retrofitting it to work or disable it if it hasn't already been done. That system failed pretty frequently in most owners disabled it instead of fixing it.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

I think I will need to pick up a delete kit

[@hermanguzman1460]

Poor Nissan having to suffer so much, I would've just rebuilt it back to its former glory.

[@markyormark7747]

I hope you make a living by doing this. Sincerely.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

I need more customers

[@StalePhish]

Dry ice is actually pretty cheap! I bought 10 lbs of dry ice during my vehicle teardown and it only cost $18, probably could've used 6 lbs or less realistically for what I was doing

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Did you rent equipment?

[@89five3five]

How much pounds of wire and modules did you remove?

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Ugh...to many
