Tesla swapping a 90's Icon! New build! Nissan 300zx

[@Danielhall2689]

This is so exciting. Two customer builds at once, and then the Porsche. I'm glad you got "interns" to help, you definitely have your hands full.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Couldn't agree more!

[@smh1448]

I PRAY GOD MAKES THIS A SUCCESSFUL BIZ. CONGRATULATIONS!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks Friend!

It's very strange to introduce deities and miraculous actions into science projects. Then again, many Americans fall for that kind of noise.

[@mmccon2007]

Chrome sockets crack all the time, that's why they sell the black "impact" sockets. I've had MANY break over the years.

[@christopherbaker8621]

Yeah, chrome not made for impact. Buy sockets that are impact rated.

[@theproffessional9]

Oh hell yes, a Nissan 300ZX. Now THIS is epic

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Let's go!

[@deanmcmanis9398]

I always liked the styling of that generation 300ZX! Clean and sporty lines.

[@J.P.__]

I'm a little too young to really appreciate the 300ZX, but congrats on getting a second customer!

[@kevinhill5531]

One of my favorite rides of the 90's. Glad to see it getting a new life, and BTW the interior is stock those are factory and yes funky nissan knobs and switches

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks for the info!

[@John-qc8yy]

That's why there are "impact sockets." Regular sockets crack on impact drivers.

[@spont24]

I found your channel though the owner of this Z, he made a Facebook listing for the parts that are getting removed from this car and I was interested in taking the auto trans for my ‘93 2+2. Super excited to see this build in its finished form

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Contact the owner about the sale of any parts

[@spont24]

@@ElectricSuperCar Way ahead of you, just saying how I found the channel. Looking forward to the next vid of the build!

[@Ripped-Inflatables]

That's a lock nut to keep it from backing out, and if you leave the nut on, you can tap the end of the axle, and the nut will help repair damaged threads when you back it off. Love seeing you turn this into a business.

If you still have your receipt for the Craftsman socket you can get it replaced for free under the lifetime warranty.

You need to show everyone the very unique front suspension on this car.

Congrats on yours first cracked socket! Now you really work on cars 😂! I pray our transitions into entrepreneurship are wildly successful! Good luck brother!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Fingers crossed!

[@WPGN]

Great car as I use to have one. Interesting thing is I found out after years of ownership is check behind the driver and passenger seats. There is a large plastic strut mount cover. Hidden in those areas were factory headlight adjustment devices and a tool set. You should check to see if that car has any.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

I'll check it out

[@onechoag]

Nice platform for an EV conversion!!! Subscribed to this built!!!!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thank you!

[@phillipev]

I guess this is the most underrated generation of the Z. I really like it, though, maybe because it was the current generation when I was a child that was beginning to get into cars... And, most importantly, tell your doggo I said hi!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Will do!

[@mattgreen3138]

the stoke is high for this one!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Let's go!

[@evanlaske7968]

Might want to use impact sockets when using impacts for removal - could be why you have a cracked socket. May have physically cracked under high load after some weakening

[@ElectricSuperCar]

You are probably right

[@jme2359]

I have always loved 300zx Nissan. Wery nice to see one electric.

This got shared on Reddit and I'm immediately sold. I have had 4 of these cars in the past and would love to have another one but am specifically holding out on electric conversion to be more common and... for me to get more rich haha. This gives me hope and motivation to aspire. Thank you for sharing!

I use impact sockets for the really old rusted bolts with some pb blaster.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

[@andrewgonzalez2328]

Hey, just so you know you need to put those axles back in or at least the outer CV joints back into the bearing that’s what helps to hold the bearing together. You can damage the wheel, bearing with the weight of the car without the actual, squeezing it all together.

[@Beni10PT]

Now this is a content pipeline!

[@slayer8426]

The dust cover for the wheel nuts are kingpin locking shields to stop the but from turning, should've been a pin through the hole in the axle that slots into the crown of the shield. So cool to see another customers get already!!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks for the info

[@cinchan04]

I love these conversion videos.. Very educational and satisfying.. More power to your channel

[@ElectricSuperCar]

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Yep

[@NatureShortsShow]

[@aftl_ryz8549]

Lovely as always! Excited how this will turn out!

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thank you! 😊

[@Kenshin_Tran]

Ha! Beautiful!! Man that is a nice one. Not abused at all. Craftsman non impact socket! Gonna crack! This is exciting. I cant wait to see this to the end.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

More to come!

[@guelphdgc7995]

Always loved this car growing up in the 90's. Dad had an 87 Datsun twin turbo for a short time. That thing was quick. I'm surprised this is the first socket you've blown up! Try the black impact ones - I'm sure you know that

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Put it on my wish list

[@rolixzs]

This one has huge potential, with considerate weight to power increase it can become an absolute weapon. Will look forward to seeing what will happen with those muffler cutouts in the bumper, feels like muffler tips need to go back there just for the looks 🤔

[@bladerunner6282]

the interiors on these were super cool. the pods a standard, the TT had leather seats and was shorter overall. TT owners thought the 2+2 ungainly, and 2+2 owners thought TT owners pretentious. they were correct.. :)

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Thanks for the info!

[@mabosch1]

Nice to see another video. Only is it better to not take the cv-joint out of the bearing and then put the wheels on. It could damage the bearing through the weight of the car on the loose bearing's. When the cv-joint is in the bearing it clamps it down.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Nope, no damage

[@mikejf4377]

Watching it again and you might find out about moving it with the rear axle out of the rear axle. It might hurt the rear bearing in the axle. The front wheel drive VW will be hurt if it doesn't have the axle in and tight. Just trying to help. Go by some cheep impact sockets please. Craftsman aren't that great.

[@tonyshipman257]

Jeremy, It's nice to see you have work. Word of advice and I understand you are not rolling the car around. Just be careful about not having the CV joints in. The torque of the nut and the CJ in place helps to preload the bearings. Without the CV joint in place it could cause an issue to the bearings over time. (It could - not saying it will.) All the Best, Tony

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Ok, thanks

[@Zensaitv]

Glad you got belping hands, wish you all the best and no troubles of rusty nuts 😂

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Much appreciated

[@user--PM]

disassembly is easy, what i am looking forward to is the planning and execution stage. hope you can deliver on the hopes of the customer.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Maybe easy for you. Still challenging for me

[@user--PM]

i was thinking in the overall process of the conversion. yes understood, you still got a work out on that part.

Wow, you're getting into this one already! Looking forward to seeing how you juggle 3 projects. Tons of content coming up! At first I was shocked you were going to EV swap such a clean, running/driving car. But seeing non-turbo and slush-box automatic, I suddenly understood why this is the perfect 300ZX to work on.

Two words. Image Stabilization. Love your channel though

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Noted!

[@andrewgoodale6540]

I have an 86 300zx so I’m excited to see how you do this conversion. When my engine eventually dies, it’s going to get an electric motor. Hopefully batteries get a little lighter by then…

[@christobar]

I have fantasized for years about converting a 300zx to Electric, because the engines are mechanically complicated and notoriously fickle. It’s also one of my favorite cars of all time.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Nice!

[@Digital7C4]

First of all, love the channel, been watching since the beginning. One thing I highly recommend you purchasing is some good impact tools for disassembly of these cars. They can be really helpful with those stubborn bolts and nuts.

[@ElectricSuperCar]

Agreed!

[@RebelRanger2009]

I remember when that model came out in 1992. Oh how I loved them.

One of my friends had the twin turbo version of the 300ZX. It's a nice car, but the knock on Nissan is they tended to make some porkers at the time, so hopefully, some weight reduction is in order. Otherwise, you could be looking at an EV conversion pushing well past 4,000 lbs.

[@erikrummel6277]

Nissan interchanged a lot of parts in the 90’s. Tons of similar parts on various models. For instance….. if you need some more room in the diff area, you can use axles from a 240SX. That will get you an inch of room on each side. The bolt pattern is different on a USDM 240, but the stubs are plentiful or you could use JDM axles which are the same 5 bolt flange as the Z32 chassis 300ZX.
