My vote would be for a modern VR38, I think that could be a lot of fun to build out.

I think Ricky’s idea is pretty cool with the 20b NA. You don’t see rotary swaps as much as anything else

Go with the VG30DETT because there aren't a lot if many in depth build videos for them. And would be interesting to see what can be done turbo and engine wise.

A VR30DDTT swap is my choice all day. A modern and reliable "oem+" engine swap. Will probably fit the best in the engine bay too. I can already imagine people taking a second look in the engine bay and realizing that the engine is not stock. And that makes it very cool for me

Go with VG30DETT - as mentioned before, there are ton of RB/LS swap videos out there. Would be awesome to see what you can do with the VG motor.

As much as I'd like to see a VG30 go back in the car, the more I think about it, it would be really cool to have the modern VR30 in there. LS, 2J, RB and (God forbid) the SR20 have all been done over and over again. REGARDLESS... looking forward to what's in store. Thank you guys for saving a Z32!

IDGAF WHAT YALL DO QUINN AND RICKY IS GOLD PLEASE NEVER GO AWAY MAKE A PODCAST ID LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

It is unbelievable how Evan saw much potential on this car and TBH I kinda do too, its amazing what the team is doing and it'll absolutely be a gem once this build is done. Ey Oh! Hats off to the Throttle boys!

After being torn down FB marketplace be like... "$30,000 OBO it's a piece of JDM history I know what I have"

I'd like to see what you all at throtl can do with the VG30DETT engine in there! It'd be great to see your creativity in trying to maximize the power and performance from that engine! A PMZ wide bodykit to top it all off would be amazing. Can't wait to see where this build goes, favorite one so far!

Even wrecked like this, this is a timeless design and so beautiful. Can't wait to see what you guys do with this car!

I have spent the last 10 years of my life DEDICATED to modifying the VG to build what i believe is the most powerful 300ZX in England. I do it for my passion for the 300 & rarely write about it on the internet. I have blown more engines than i can remember, now i have a reliable VG30 making 780WHP without any bottom end reliability issues. The VG30 is INSANELY capable & you need no other engine. You need: 1) money for upgrade parts. 2) knowledge of how to build the engine correctly 3) high quality parts. 4) A quality machine shop you can trust. I would be happy to share my knowledge.

The new VR motor would be sweet in that!! Same motor at the Infinity Red Sports and would still sound like a Z to some extent!!

I'd say you guys should do a "Z through time" build. - 240/280Z front clip conversion - 300ZX base chassis (already there) - 350/370Z interior ...and a 400Z drivetrain

I'm building a 1990 300zx with a fully homebuilt forged 5.3 gapped rings for nitrous. but sadly, stuck making break lines and fuel lines because everything on the car was either shot or broken so it's been taking me 3 years. watching this gives me motivation again.

Widebody vr38 would probably get the most channel views. Although a shaved bay with an N/A RB with ITB's 👀 in like.. millennium jade ?? Rotiforms? Maybe even bagged/stanced?🔥🔥

Wangan spec Z32, hommage the Z top speed runs. Vg30dett fully built to 600-800hp. Using old school aero like abflug, tbk, Mission, VeilSide. Fun fact, the Z32 still holds the land speed record for Japanese modified car with the JUN Blitz Z32 that did 262mph in 1991. It did that using the VG30DeTt 😊

BUILD IT, LS7, TWIN TURBO IT, STANCE IT, BODYKIT, BAG IT, WHEELS/RIMS THE WHOLE WORKS!!!! HOONIGAN/THROTL STYLE BABY!!!!!!!!

For a trans look at the 8HP automatic with an aftermarket controller. You can set them up with a console shifter and drive it like a sequential transmission and they hold a lot of power. Lighter than a BMW DCT.

I can't wait to see how this 300$zx turns out, I've never seen one be stripped down then re built and kit up before... I honestly can not wait for more 300$zx content, this thing is going to look crazy!

VR30, OEM+ areo track car type build would be sick

Use a VG30dett block, cams from JWT (retain factory VTC for good response), solid lifter setup, forged aftermarket internals. BDE performance cam gears. Delete factory cam sensor and go aftermarket. R35 coil setup (polar engineering). If you want to go wild get a stroker crank, EFR Turbos (with internal wastgate v-band setup), custom high flow exhaust manifolds, Get some cool bits from polar engineering for your fuel system and his electronic throttle body setup. Haltech R5, I7 digital dash, can bus buttons, Custom wire harness, Stick with the side mount intercoolers (its the most efficient for Z32 setups), 2.5" piping (cold side), Koyo radiator, upgrade oil cooler to larger unit BUT retain factory input and outputs from engine, just about any other way is unreliable. Exhaust, use custom transition downpipes, Dual 3", MUST HAVE X pipe for sound (not as raspy), B&B resonators, no mufflers, sounds awesome. Drivetrain, Tremec T-56 Magnum XL (close ratio option) with adapter plate from Grannas Racing. Shifter location is spot on. If you use a multiplate clutch to reduce pedal effort you can ditch ALL the factory vacuum clutch crap and go with a Tilton unit with with matching internal (adjustable) slave with collar extender if needed to keep stroke within tolerance. RPS aluminum flywheel to retain factory starter setup. Just make sure you order the clutch get the 26 spline clutch disc(s) to match the Tremec. Don't forget to order the steel alignment plate to properly indicate/center the trans (100% required). Single piece carbon driveshaft, Try and find a TT rear diff and convert to 4:10 Richmond Gears. Factory N/A 4:08 rear end could be used as an alternate. Suspension. Fortune Auto Coilovers, swift Springs, Gkteck suspension bits, do a grip setup (not drift setup). Interior. Tillett carbon seats, custom tube cage that does not interfere with passenger leg room. rear seat delete. I have done most of the above to my Z32 with great success. The best thing that transforms this car is the 6 speed. Once you drive with that setup it feels like it was always supposed to be that way. I hop you take the time to read this and consider this build configuration.

The sealant on the tail lights is factory butyl rubber. It's actually a pretty smart product to use as it seals really well, yet can be removed when taking the tail lights off. O hand OM606 engine swap!!!

Id love this to be VR30 swapped, make it look like a “400” z do the same paint. I’m sure between Dustin and tj theres a set of stock z wheels somewhere lol

Hell yeah, we need more Masa! Man is a JDM encyclopedia

the taillights are sealed like that from OEM and the center panel has gaskets and there are NA-t VG30 engines making 800hp with a turbo.

You can put a RB26 Twin Turbo in it but put bigger turbos with a fueltech management system so you can monitor everything on it. Making it a colour you never used before and custom simple interior. Everything to make it simple and easy.

What surprised me the most was the hatch struts working 😂

Stock style with some aftermarket wheels,Rb26 swap, a bit lowered.

As long as it’s not a LS swap. Overly played out. A VR30DDTT from a Q50 with a CD009 transmission would be a killer swap for the Z32. Easy power, Strictly Nissan 👌🏾

p.s. im sure you all hate my commenting by now, sorry. love the channel. just been begging for this day for ages, just wish it were a 2+0, t-top or slick top with a twin turbo vg30dett fully fucking shaved and gutted to its basic necessities because THAT is where these cars/motors shine the hardest. much love and respect! stoked from more z32 content!

I don't care what you guys do with this car as long as you don't trash this project!!! Would love to see the finished product, 300ZX is so underrated!

Kswap or sr20 would be the best to not go crazy but still make it spicy

Loved the video! I’m hesitating about buying a Nissan 300zx 1984 for myself and this video helped me learning a bit more about it! Thank you a lot!

Hey guys! Firstly, I wanna say that I really love your content and I've been a subscriber for about 2 years now. Secondly, I love this platform and I'd really love to see the following done to the car: - RB26 Swap - Repaint; an OEM silver from Nissan would be my suggestion for the color - Volk TE37s - BC Racing Coilovers P.S. - just my opinion and how I'd go about rebuilding the car. Good luck, and I'm super excited to be following this build series!

I'd love to see the $300 zx turned into a budget build, ls or turbo k, something somewhat simple that can make some power 🔥

You should always take cars like this the transformation would be epic 😊

I think an NA-TT build would be super cool. The NA engine has a higher compression ratio and can make serious power with E85. Not many people know the potential of those old VGs. As long as that motor is healthy, it can handle 700whp with relative ease.

Lots of great idea in the comments, I think it would be wild to have a nissan td42 turbo diesel shoehorned in there as the Era not too far off and the amount torque they can make is wild

Definitely need more Masa! He's always a happy addition to any video. I know LS swaps have been done a ton, but I'd love to see this one with an LS. If not, then an RB would be awesome as well.

It's been a while since the team did a rotary. A 20B turbo would be a great idea. But I also like the R35 v6 idea. That could work with R25 transmission as well. I think we should keep it Japanese

1UZ swop matched to a CD09, accessible and cheap, JDM all the way, can do 2UZ or 3UZ as well, Haltech management off the shelf.... and they don't get done much

Twin z widebody kit for 2+2, twin z hood, twin z bumpers, twin z spoiler, jspec taillights with a hellcat swap would be awesome, unconventional drivetrain swap and def interesting to see.

throtl is back to origin! I know it is a high ball, but a R35 VR38DETT all-in with suspension and gearbox and all-wheel drive! RZ35 would be some new bread - throtl style! I love you guys!

Personal preference would be you do a full drift build with the LS7 swap

If you guys need a good taillight set, I have one at home! Just cover the shipping! The sealant for the taillights is actually OEM. I've restored two 300ZXTT's.

@07:53, seatbelts in the door cards was only a pre 94 thing, it was to keep up with the automatic seatbelt feature of the 240sz, you legit, just leave the belt bucked up , open the door, adn step in and out. the only issue, was if car was lowered it was a spaghetti mess trying to tuuck your legs up under the belt to sit in the seat and close door for the "auto seatbelt feature lol. thats why in 94 they moved seatbelts the the chasis itself. you can buy 94+ seatbelts and retro fit them into the pre 94 shell

either do a vr30 or 38 dett swap or or either mildly built vq37 with a stillen super charger kit and PAC-Man Z widebody or a c7 Z06 LT4 supercharged v8 swap

I think 🤔 This Nissan ZX model is a unique car it deserves to be brought back to life it deserves a second chance 😅 I bet Glossy Black on Widebody kits and chrome wheels with perfect fitment will be so coool 👍

I'm doing a 1990 300zx z32 2+0 project right now. One of my favorite cars.

12:00 That black tailight goo is OEM. They came installed like that from the factory.

The z32 is actually lots of fun to work on. Very excited to see this transformation ☺️

A high revving engine would be cool!

My vote is you guys should bag the car with one solid color (cherry red) and a RB26 single turbo swapped. Don’t know what wheels but some really nice chrome wheels on 20’s

Rickie was right to scream at Quinn when he was tugging at those headlights- those are Lambo headlights, baby!!!! Worth a fortune!!!

I imported a 300xx from Japan, and it needs a lot of work. I can't wait to see this series!

VR30 with the 370z trans would be a cool swap. I still want to see an SR build but they run the same price as the VR and the RB is just out of most peoples reach now. Seeing a build that we can relate to would be fun rather than seeing 20+k engine swaps that most won't do.

Throtl team love the content keep it coming!!! I never comment on videos but the 300ZX is near and dear to my heart. I currently have a 96 Twin Turbo and a 95 2+2 NA that I am restoring. The TT will have the VG rebuilt and not sure about the 2+2 yet.. I would love to see you rebuild the VG and add Twin turbos, the VR38 would also be very cool to see as would the LS7. But please don’t do an RB 26 that has been done over and over. Whatever you decide to do look forward to watching!

I sincerely don't understand why this car is so underrated. I have a 2+2 variant at home and absolutely love it! Yeah, they are difficult to work on, but who cares?! They aren't a daily anymore. They are so beautiful and represent a generation of innovative thought and leading edge ideas. Even the Fast and the Furious considered using them but ultimately dumped the idea because they were to expensive and couldn't be quickly modified to meet the shooting schedule. I reckon do with the original VG30DETT and do it right. Demonstrate what this motor can actually do when done right.

An LS based build is *long* overdue on this channel, and it just makes sense. Easy power, great noise, can make the bay look sick. Super clean stock body with a simple kit, all white, bronze wheels. Simple, easy.

My favorite build you’ve done by far.

Honestly speaking best fit for this build would be a nice clean 2jz with big garret no bags, static instead clean solid paint job and y’all know the rest 💯🔥🔥🔥

LS’s in these have really grown on me.. I used to be very against ls swaps tbh but they are nasty, sound rad, compact.. I had a 300, and I wanted to drop a cammed LS in and manual swap, Over turbo swap/NATT.

Awesome throttl boys! Would be nice to give this car an awesome new life. A RB26 motor would be sweet! As for the body, a nice clean build, no wide body as body is already awesome, suspension, rims, awesome interior and so forth. I don’t think you guys should over kill this car with customization as the body is already a timeless design. Whatever you guys decide I’m sure it will be epic!😀

I like the 20b idea. Bagged and clean

this has always been my dream car...my dad had a datsun 280sx so growing up i wanted a t top twin turbo 300zx 93 ... love these cars my buddy had a 3000gt & i had my 93 Celia gt fastback

I see this going one of two ways. I hate ls swaps, BUT i think it could be good on this car with a resto mod type vibe. Black respray with some tasteful polished wheels, two cannons out the back and pretty much stock interior. Or. K24 turbo swap. Slammed, full cage, gutted interior. Track car.

VR38!!!!! Do it!! Cut that shell up and make it fit!!

Keeping it VG would be the single most unique thing you could do. Modernise it with the Polar Engineering / Merlin machining catalogue. Engine swaps are honestly not even good content these days imho

Gotta go with a fully built vg30dett. Keep with the original motor but go all out with built motor, turbos , etc Big power can be made That's what I'm doing

Rotary or LS swap, already seen a 2J build, RB build, K24 build haven't seen an LS or V8 build on this channel or Rotary yet....would be a sick drift build💁 A high revving drift build would be sick

High revving LS sounds really cool. Either way N/A or supercharged would be something different.

The ls7 swap is a great Idea or the rb26 is good too

I'm curious what you'll opt to put in it since the stock motor isn't staying. I've seen some people consider putting turbo 4-cylinders into it from various brands. I've also seen an LS-swapped one that was really nice. The engine bay isn't super cramped, so you've got some room to play with. You could probably even fit a DOHC NA V8 into it as long as the accessories get tucked close to the block.

Definitely restore it, give it some modern upgrades. You don't see many anymore, and the ones you do see are on their last leg. J-Series Turbo????? That would be different. I'm working on build plans for my 3rd gen TL ATM, and I kinda want to go 3.7L AWD Turbo. Cars are my passion and I wish I could do it full time, the ideas I have are out of the box. Love the channel and the builds are awesome, keep up the amazing work and enthusiasm.

I like Quinn‘s idea of a high revving LS, or maybe late model GTR engine and drivetrain would be very interesting. Maybe a Stillin body kit Would be sick.

As much as I'd love to see this car done up nice oem+ build, I think turning it into a rally spec car with a lift and big tires would be awesome. I'd do a 4 cylinder turbo swap like a b or k series, maybe a ka too. Either way I'm super pumped to see this!

4 rotor AWD.. wide body, midnight purple Sprinkle of throtl magic.. .. done!!

That gasket adhesive is oem for z32 tail lights from factory. Crazy to see the middle one that crusty lol

So excited for this series! You guys should put a vg30dett in it and also consider a twinz widebody kit. I always thought 300zx's needed a bit of "wide" to them, and twin z makes really good products for the 300zx. You guys should maybe consider going twinz with the body!

My dream car since i was a little boy 🔥 better times will come and one day I will make my dream come true 💪🏻💪🏻 Keep up the hard work , greetings from Portugal 🤜🏻🤛🏻

I would love to see that you don't go too crazy on this one, cuz the Z32 is a real classy car. I mean don't leave it stock but keep it as OEM as possible. No big wang, no widebody and for the love of god no canards or anything 😅 lower it, spray paint it in midnight purple, slap some nice nismo wheels on and you be good to go 😎👍Oh and of course put the VG30DETT back in 😉 sorry Ricky 😂

na-block with TT heads. gt28rs turbo upgrade. will be a straight beast. vg30dett is very under rated

RB26 single turbo! LS swaps for 300ZX have been done so often. Keep it within the Nissan family of engines!

OEM plus build would be sick. Track oriented. Japanese motor all the way. RB or a built VG or VR. 2J and SR and LS are way over done. I think the k series height would be an issue to clear the hood.

Either original VG30DETT build (maybe improved with extra parts) or 20B/26B as a rotary swap

GTR engine & drive-train, oem body+ (no wide body, maybe just a lip kit) air-ride suspension, nice wheels.

rb26 and stance. full black with some black rays with lime green calipers and lime green with black stitching slammed

Would love to see either a twin turbo Voodoo, LT4 with a 7speed manual or a Hellcat swap

Was not expecting to see the UFO in the sponsored ad 😂 but I do agree that it's a great gift, as I've gotten one for my last birthday

I really want to see a no roll cage, ultra nice, with modern tech, interior. No one does that in car builds... I am talking 2 toned leather wrapped stitched dash with alcantara. Heated and cooled seats with 10way adjustment. Digital dash, android head unit with full speaker setup. Ultra clean, ultra high, end ultra modern. Any engine as its all been done, any suspension as that has also been done.

I'd like too to see what you all at throtl can do with the VG30DETT engine in there! 300ZX + VG30DETT = THE BEST CHOICE

Im all for a rb26/motor from a R35, but i also think that going with something wild like a barra would be cool, not many swaps done in the states!

Yo, I dont know who reads these, but I think I have watched most of the builds starting right before the RX-7 of Mickey! To the point you asked about cars we wanted to see. Ok, Audi TT, Audi S-4 early 2000. How about a VW from the 90's. Tricked out fox body 5.0 but put a different power plant in it! Just find something different or unusual. The fabrication is the best part.

As someone who is currently building a widebody, bagged and RB swapped 300zx, you guys should do a show-stanced built motor build. It could be a 2jz. RB26, maybe even build the original VG as an NA-TT setup on E85, but for the love of GOD do NOT put an LS in the thing

17 30 You are not messing with that viper.

Hell yea, 300zx time!!!! I would love to see how you guys would build a vg30dett!!!!

Either a vg30dett or vr swap. A simple clean build nothing too crazy like stance or full blown race car. Its rare to see nice clean z32s

Make it an OEM+ or something similar. The idea being you could see this coming out the factory with this motor and this trim package. The RB Series of motors would be a great selection to pull from. If you make it slightly wider go molded.
