What a lovely build. I'm sure it triggers the Datsun people and the BMW people but he's really respected the car and still managed to build something which addresses the issues inherent in the Z which is fantastic. I'm sure it's fantastic to drive and it looks gorgeous. Wouldn't change a thing. Congrats to him, that car is an absolute credit to him. Well done.

Keeping a straight 6 is really keeping in the spirit of the car, and BMW's does some of the better ones these days. So many folks just chuck an LS motor in and call it a day. This is really a special car. I miss my old Z but it just rusted into nothin :(

Fantastic build. I’ve had multiple Datsuns and later in life multiple BMWs including an E30 with a Brintech S54, 6 speed, R200 diff conversion. This Z is perfection. When you’re ready, sell it to me…….seriously. Love it 👌🏻

This is such a good combination of classic beauty with modern engineering. I had a 240Z back in the 90s. It was not a good example, but was all I could afford at the time. After that I stopped messing around with cars until C19 hit. Then, I bought a cheap BMW E46 330CI and totally fell in love. This project is particularly interesting to me.

@@shifty1927 is that why billet 2jz and rb30 blocks put down 3200 plus hp in Australia? That’s right now. Bmw never made it past 1500 in any motor ever. Ever. That’s the m12 megatron 1.5 in qualifying turbo trim not race trim either. Race mode is 500-600hp less. We can do this all day .

Way to keep a classic on the road, and the BMW powerplant conversion probably ran the same coin as an RB anyway, neither are cheap😂. In my limited BMW experience he's severley understating the frustrations that the electronics and wiring bring into your life😂. Sweet build, sacrelicious.

I've seen this car in person, have photos of it. Photos and videos do not do this car any justice, this car is sooooo clean, like one of the best finish jobs I've ever seen on anything. It's so immaculate it has what I'd consider an obsessive attention to detail. Kudos this man and his vision, I love it, still go back from time to time and look at the photos. Also, the colour grows on you, looks far better in person.

Nicely done well balanced car. The only thing that stands out that I would change is the hot air intake right behind the radiator. The filter should be enclosed and air should come from the original location in front of the radiator. I have a friend who I helped build his Z car. It has an LS out of a Cadillac CTS V with the 6 speed transmission and a 300 ZX turbo differential.
