Crazy Clean Garage Build: SR20 Powered Chasing Js 240z

There's a fine line to ride when it comes to restomodding a classic like the 240z: it's easy to go overboard on the "mod" part, and lose the fine taste of the original car. Dominic Le of Chasing Js takes us to school on that line, and shows us what's possible in a home built car.

There’s two kinds of car guys. The guy who won’t let you drive it, and the guy who begs you to drive it.

[@TheHoonigans]

We prefer the latter, personally.

So many amazing little details in this 240Z

[@LoneRevD]

"We took the sound deadening out its not really practical to drive everyday' in common talk, you can't talk between people, the ride is shaking your eyeballs loose over every patch in the road and it draws attention from the police at first glance. You know, what a enthusiast craves in a daily..... Beautiful car, nice build.

I remember not too long ago, I left a comment on a Build Biology video - I think it was the Hoonicorn - saying how I wished that whoever was doing the editing wouldn't remove the audio from any clips where the engine was running. Ever since then, we're got to hear the cars pulling in on every video. That makes me happy. :)

[@joshbacon8241]

It just seems that every Build Biology episode is as good as the last!

[@tommypayne1980]

Dream Car. She is well built , kudos to the builder.

[@alinerose237]

dude, this car is pretty darn beauty, I mean, at least for me, what makes a car perfect is not if it is hardcore detailed or way too much power, what makes it perfect is to see that face on the guy that built it, that satisfaction face, that enthusiasm, being so in love to his build, dang it, by the way tho, I'm a hige fan of the Z series so seing a 240z features was nerdgasmic from the begining, after seeing such a build was double the pleasure, and his face dude, seeing that guy so happy was mindblowing, for real I hope to do such a cool build with mine, thanks for the content

[@789dalton]

Such a subtle yet outstanding build. One of few guys who didn’t over extend every arch and panel, this is almost like if Datsun made a track or race spec of the Z chassis

[@TangoOne]

I like seeing cars that don't have a oversized turbo, I bet this car is super fun on the street.

[@javierzepeda4464]

This is a Beautiful Frankenstein. I love how he literally was matching parts from other cars. Or if he knew. That is some good information to know. Car guys like that. They can build you a car from a coconut 🥥

[@reidbtable]

All his builds are just gorgeous.

[@Vgk36]

Wish I had friends like this guy !!! Gettin it done with creative cost effective solutions not just throwing cash at everything! Amazing build and mad props !!

You could see and hear his pride of this build. It’s beautiful.

[@real_ryansama]

my dad owned a 240Z when he was in highschool. had a 343 chevy swap, and he painted the car white. he used to street race with this thing on the west bank of New Orleans. what i would give to see his car from back then. ( its also the reason i want one. XD )

[@jkalash762]

That thing is just insane.... I can't even imagine the amount of planning that went into that build. And rywire blows my mind, that sr20 literally looks like its just set in place and there's no way it should run.

I'm glad y'all brought Dan back to Build Bio. Got love for nadz, but he never lets people talk about their build for more than 2 seconds at a time. He doesn't ask as many fab questions as Dan either. Maybe make a show for Nadz to talk about what the car has done and what publications its in.
