We Fixed The 240Z Transmission! It Was Such A Stupid Problem..

the car is not in limp mode. its just reducing power because of your DSC, and if the dsc is not working you will have 3 lights on: ABS, DSC, BRAKE. only from this error. you have to check again the speed sensor or with diagnose. in the worst case abs pump is bad, but first you have to bleed the brakes using INPA

you should take into bmw dealership for an oil change to see their reaction

Dude, you've got to be the hardest working vehicle-based youtuber. Just one excellent video after another.

If possible, make glass hood like the the one on the corvette. It should protect the engine while showing off the awesome throttle bodies in action.

I had that engine warning when my injector was bad and when fuel pump was malfunctioning but it might be something else. Also make sure all grounds are connected.

Very proud of this build. Been watching for the whole build and the transformation is just amazing

I'm so happy you're addressing the final touches of the car and troubleshooting even the minor things! Keep driving it towards perfection, good luck

Hi Chris. Ive seen this issue before. I repair a lot of z4's where these lights pop up after tie rod ends are changed. The dsc and steering controls are all wired through the abs module in the same unit and the torque sensor on the column sees unequal, well,....torque when turning left compared to right because of alignment issues, so lights up everything!
One alignment later and steering recentred to zero degrees and the lights will go off.
Amazing channel by the way. Love it.

When are you putting on the fender side mirrors??

I have a feeling that no matter what you do, traction control is going to be pissed about the mirrored signals. IOW, if you mirror the front/back, TCS will not work because it'll think the front and rear wheels are going the same speed always. It might be better to mirror the rear sensors to the front, because then the wheel speed matches the driveline speed. They might be using the wheel sensors as "transmission output speed indicator", which is often used to detect if the trans is slipping and to control limp mode and shift line pressure.

At 10:28 is that a b is for build ziptie? Dope

So awesome to see the linkage move on ITB's... Such a rad car

See the grin on his face the more this car finalizes. To think Chris that you almost went with jumping into a new project.
Also, I need a 1:18 die cast of this thing sitting on my desk. Hit up hot wheels, autoart, or anyone and toss the idea around. This car has generated enough buzz lately to maybe do something cool like that.

I think the no more than 1% circumference difference thing is specifically for xDrive (awd) cars.

I must give you credit you have kicked it up a notch and going for it...you have proved me wrong ..you have my respect. Great job....your "car guy" is really showing thru.

11:16 is this the first time i see the cars true color?

Fantastic! The best thing to keep up motivation is to get the hardest problem done as early in the process as possible, rinse and repeat. The feeling of accomplishment as the weight lifts off your shoulders should not be underestimated.

Love to see the excitement at the end of the video! Nice job on this build. For sure the best one yet! Cant wait to see more.

11:16 WOOW that blue color really surprised me!

I was all for seeing the supercar project first but seeing how pumped you were at the end of this video I'm so glad you stuck with the Z!

Chris I think it's great that you are fixing this car before moving on. We will move either way and this project is sick

Exhaust sounds AMAZING! Well done.

That sounds very nice, don't forget the wing mounted mirrors to finish it off. Well done for getting stuck in & making it happen, your hard work is paying off.

I'm sooo glad you stuck with this build... This car is simply awesome! :D

I initially voted for the new build. But seeing your enthusiasm through out this video, I am sure you made the right choice finishing off the 240. Definitely your most exciting build yet, in my opinion.

FWIW, you should probably fix the door / chassis switch issues. I know on other models, the car will throw itself back in park if it thinks the door is open and the driver's seatbelt is unbuckled.

So glad you continued the build man. It’s getting exiting now. Love that engine ❤️

For reduced power, it will let you rev but is putting it in a “safe” operation condition and typically 30% or more power reduction. Similar symptoms as to when your water pump goes out on a N54 (335i etc).
Let me know if I can help. My friend swapped a E39 m5 into a 2002 and we are very familiar with figuring this type of thing out. I made a video of his car on my channel if you want to reference the work done.
Congrats, an amazing project and great results!

You need something called a leader line for your front air struts. They are like braided brake lines but for air suspension. :)

Chris! Do 11s (burnouts) before the snow comes! Find a track/closed road before the bad weather comes!

is so great to see you come so farm on the rebuilds and projects ^^ been here since brz and the mustang :)

Love the enthusiasm! Keep it going, you’re so close.

I bet your glad you stayed with the build to sort out the final issues. It's going to be scary supper car fast and a real head turner.

Initialise the tyre pressure monitor from the iDrive menu, it uses measured wheel speed to set a baseline rolling diameter. Also initialise the tilt sensor in the gearbox (like the steering sensor) the DSC being unhappy cant be helping things. Both V10's having engine fault codes is sad times :(

I once worked on a '73 Capri with a crank rough idle. Conclusion, missing air filter alowed a pebble in to the combustion chamber and it destroyed cylinder #2. Id like to see the velocity pipes for shows only.

Kevin from New Zealand here. have watched this build with amazement. Great choice of body and motor. Only comment on the body is remove those ugly front wide bodies or at least fill in that horrible cut out in them. Please put the bonnet on looks like a cheap hot rod without, instead of a cool Q car. Engine wise I think the M3 V8 would have been a better choice. Smooth, light reliable power. A mate of mine has one in an e30. Brilliant motor and has had no problems.

KRplus notifications are a godsend for the right channels

I love B is for Build so much it’s inspirational

Glad to see you so excited to finish this build Chris. Soon.....it's coming!!

your girl is a great sport!

One mans problem is another mans solution, great vid. Thanks for the info, good to know for my s14.

This may be your best episode. Enjoying the build.

A little shot of silicone spray in the connector makes a world of difference on how easy they snap together.

Glad you figured out the limiter!
Can't wait to hear how it sounds under load

great job on the aero setup

Once you get the alignment sorted, you should do a pov drive on some nice curvy roads.

I work at Trimet here in town and can't wait to see this thing driven around. That's gonna be a great day! super excited for you man

We all want to see you spin 4th down the road, keep grinding!

Speaking as a R53 mini owner, when one of my wheel sensors goes out, I get the “trio of lights” which include air pressure, abs and stability control. I know that the inpa package has a screen that will show you the wheel speed sensor info live which is helpful in determining which one is out or is being flaky. The mini/bmw speed sensors can be fragile, so they’re an easy culprit for at least three errors, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were behind others on a more complex car. Also, just a thought, there may be a way to set the front/rear circumferences independently in the ecu. It might be worth a look. It’s amazing how many parameters you can tweak in those ecus. I have heard on the mini you can adjust the wheel circumference setting so your speedo reads correctly.

launch control, launch mode is a must have, wilwood hydraulic e brake kit with dual calper setup in the rear

So glad you are working on this,as the car is awesome and deserves to be driven

This intro is prefered over the normal overhyped excited introduction that sometimes seems forced. Love the channel btw!

Hi Chris . Great work on getting this done, I'm unsure it this will help but I couldn't help notice the other warning lights in the dash, Could your problems be related to the seat belt warning. might be worth locating this loom and bridging these wires to the Belt sensors . May also be worth disabling the tyre pressure warning system . I'm unsure if you'll be able to deactivate the airbag system but all of these "Safety" system may be effected engine performance. These wouldn't create error codes as they have clearly visible warning lights. Best of Luck

Always love the music in your videos!

Happy Days! The car looks and sounds great!

Awesome! Can't wait to see some outside WOT acceleration shots

I would love to see this car fully complete, no error codes, and fully functional.... much more than new build

Chris, I think the limp mode is limiting the car to 400hp. In the Idrive for the m5 you can select power from 400, 500 or 500 sport. Try selecting each to see.

Chris! Your getting good at this car building stuff Broski! Well done Sir!

Ooh I wanna see and hear that S85 roaring 10kRPM down the road!!! I can imagine the feeling when all the bugs are sorted out, and that purring engine... Show us more please!!!😎

Glad to see your smile after getting the transmission issue fixed. Sometimes it's the simple things that need attention.

can't wait to see the next build man!

Looking good Chris, I think the car is holding back some power due to the error codes/faults but once sorted it should rip in that chassis!

The exhaust sounds really good.

I would really love to see this car reviewed by a reputable car channel when you're done so we can really see this car on the road and see some rolling shots .....this is a fantastic build man keep up the good work!

BMWs did come with staggered wheel setups. My E46 originally came with 205s all around but when I upgraded to style 68s, I went to 225s in the front and 245s in the rear

So glad this is getting sorted!

Really interesting video, nice to have this deep look onto cars. Bravo!!

just to let you know your build and channel made a digitall news paper and a few more from this build CONGRATZZ man keep it up!!!! everyONE WIT CERTIAn apps they saw this car..Pretty dope man!!!!

Carbon fiber hood. So happy you got it sorted, sounds so sweet, Dino Time! ; )
Great attitude Chris, glad you include your fans in some of the decision making!
Great content thanks for your efforts always educational and entertaining too.

Great vid good to actually see you starting to drive it

Yea!!! She almost there brother , Cant wait till it's driving perfect...... so close man. This is a crazy build man , I absolutely love how you kept the interior aswell , look a good sounds good and soon dfivn good, hell yeah!!!

When it revs B is for brutal. Love it.

This is probably one of my favorite cars ever. Do you have any plans for covering the hole on the end of the dash where it was cut or are you just leaving it since it can’t really be seen when the door is shut.

God this car looks great, I wish we could see it go full send but I can't blame the guy with the alignment issues and other issues.

i just glad your loving the Z again .... thumbs up

Need to get some small pop on filter elements for velocity stacks to protect the engine.

I've had the "Engine Malfunction" code. It's still in "limp mode" but now it limits the motor to 7k rpm, rather than full 8.4k rpm. Theres a few reasons to why it does that but since you've replaced the bearings, it shouldn't be anything all that serious. Good luck! Lets meet, I'm in Portland. Had a lot of time with my 6sp e60 m5 haha, could show you some pointers if anything.

Are the tire pressure sensors pissing it off, too? There are cars out there that throttle things down significantly when the TPMS light is on. Just a thought. Glad to see the progress continuing.

Hey Chris just so you know every time you list the music in the description it is shown as Fareoh - Cloud Ten, which I distinctly remember from a while back in the M5 and RX7 builds. Just thought you might want to change that at some point!

i been watching this whole build, really great Job!
Regarding the engine issue, i saw some shops reset/restart the bmw's computer after a big maintenance. just wanted to throw this info in. not exactly sure if it will help :D

Such a badass build!

Looking forward to seeing the first real drives on this

Everytime I see this car, it makes me happy! Please keep the z content going Chris!!

COME ON KRplus, THIS DIDNT SHOW UP IN MY FEED >:( Great video, Im glad to see the Z making good progress!

And some ppl wanted to shelf the 240 and work on another car . . .

You have such a good partner. Driving with the door open! What? LOL

Such an amazing car! And sounds great!!! 🤞

By far best youtube build ever! Chris your a huge inspiration

These warning lights at the dash makes me crazy, you should fix all of them.

That thing sounds EPIC! Can't imagine how much better it would sound in real life!

God that V10 sounds so good, what a great build, nice job Chris!

Watching him at the end you can just see the joy and excitement in him, lol.

What do the engine fault codes say? Anyway love your death trap 😁👍

Kool, glad u stuk wth it. Nic job!

Mud guards? Great car this 240z! Congratulations!

Exciting times ahead ! can't wait bud !! I wouldn't be able to sleep lol

Man this build is so over my head I dont even have any suggestions 😂😭

May your enthusiasm never wane. Good job fam.

this car sounds amazing its going to be a beast when you get it buttoned up
