1) Finish the 240z
2) "Fix" the garage by tidying things and prettying it up(Walls, racks etc.)
3) New build!
Please don't let this car sit out and rout like the others
The one thing that bothers me about this channel is the builds that have deadlines. I understand the achievement of being able to complete a build in a set amount of time or if you’re building a car for SEMA. However, I would like to see a build that you thoroughly do. No corner cutting, no deadlines, no settling for less. My vote is for you to finish the Z, I’d hate for you to put all that time and effort into the build only to leave it as is with the flaws you pointed out. I get that it was a SEMA build and you accomplished your goal of showing it there, but the car is not complete. It would be a shame to just let it continue on like this, especially if you’re unable to enjoy the car in its current state. Winter is coming, you won’t be able to drive the car how it’s meant to be driven. I hope that you take this winter to finish the car and have it ready for spring and summer.
This.. absolutely agree with this
You also have to realize, that's VERY DIFFICULT. There will always be corner cutting, there will always be deadlines, there's no possible way to constantly work on 1 vehicle until it's perfect. Also, over time he would get tired of working on it and want to mess with something else.
Petrol Monkey I understand the car won’t ever be “perfect” but the flaws that he pointed out are generally things you’d want to have fixed to make the car complete. There won’t be deadlines if you’re building a car for fun. SEMA is finished, he accomplished his goal of bringing his car there. But even he knows the car is far from “done”. I don’t see the point of putting this build on hold to start a new build when this one isn’t complete. But this is my opinion and perspective. If he wishes to begin the next build, I’ll support him regardless. But as a car enthusiast myself, I’d wish to see this build be completed.
everyone forgets that back in the day when he stuck with his builds people would give him so much shit for his "boring content" "WE WANT SOMETHING NEW REEEEEEEEE"
@@biznichin13 one thing to keep grinding on a v6 mustang with electrical issues, another to build a tube frame v10 z from the ground up and leave it at 70%..
Finish the 240z while you still know where everything is and where you’re at
Good advice
Look mate just get the Z done. If you stop you'll never come back to it.
I want to see the new project car with a few 240z episodes in between. Let yourself recharge from that build
This is the best idea. Start the new project over the winter off season while having the odd episode dedicated to the Z. Once the nice weather hits and the tracks are open I'd love to see it in action.
Finish the Z. Do not let it end up like the BRZ... :(
Or the RX7
Finish the 240 Chris its so unique it deserves to be completed.
Don't keep jumping builds finish this one 100% first
Also how about building the shop up
I wanna see the Z finished but understand the need to keep the channel moving so, why don't you start the new build but put 1 day a week aside to keep the 240 build going and update us at the ned of the new build vids with progress. Best of both worlds. You get to finish the 240 over winter ready for better weather and freshen things up with a new car. Option 3 for me.
Totally agree. 👍
This is a great idea!
Not gonna happen, it's bad business to mix build videos like that. Kills the view count.
@@cwilczewski23 He said "update us at the ned(end) of the new build vids with progress" so not really mixing builds just updating in between new ones or save them and do a big video once its all done
You probably have 3-4 episodes left on the 240Z before it's going to sit until spring 2019. Do both. Knock out the small stuff and then park it while you figure out the transmission deal. How you do everything is good content to film and show. Maybe showing how you fix something or research something will give someone else the confidence to do a similar swap later on.
17:05 Tavarish breathing intensifies lol 😂
The Datsun needs a hood! If you really want you can cut a hole to see the velocity stacks. But Ideally put a plexiglass cover in the hole.
After all these months i wanna see you drive the god damm thing(u know what start the next build but do 240Z updates in between)(thanks for the likes ^_^)
Glados EH. TJ does drive his. The only one that really doesn’t get driven 350, and that’s because it’s the drift car. The BRZ sees a lot of vid time, the RX7 has been driven a lot, the Supra I think will be the garage queen of the bunch, but even that sees mileage.
@@bigjaydogg3384 if we. People wanted to watch someone drive around and talk without actually Driving it like it's meant and built for it gets boring and hard to stay invested in every video Tj needs to start tldoing some pulls or track days otherwise build show cars only ... No need for turbos and crazy power when you don't use more than 150 of it Every video..best video TJ made in a long time was of him drifting around in the z with his girl's parents....by far the best in a long time... Since he went drifting way back when ... The rest of his videos are same shit different day ..
I used to find Adam abit annoying throwing cash. but the dud really is enjoying his cars! I don't know why anyone would build so many cars and never enjoy them?
fender mirrors!?!?!?! where are the fender mirrors!
If you have ever lived with a car with fender mirrors you may under stand how every body that has them find them useless. And thats not a good thing when your driving.
They get hit, moved ,all the time, you get in l,ook out ,and they have moved or have been knock out of position.
You need one person to adjust them while you are seated. A royal pain in the butt.When your going out for a drive.Every one gets sucked into them ONCE.
agree, but maby try to find some electrical ones?
@@thmake98 id go for those " in vintage look please"
Thats good looks and innovation you better go sell that Idea so I can buy a pair or two
That we all can live with...!!!
In the bin where they should be....?
"Focus and finish"... The Z was rushed, and I thought you should have finished it before limping it to SEMA (Like next year).. And you're in Oregon, you need a hood. Finish what you started.
This build deserves to be finished
I want to see the 240z finished, come on people!! (EDIT: Okay, watched the whole video, Chris makes good points. Bring on the next project then, BUT PLEASE FINISH IT)
This car is so ghetto
No u
you should make videos of driving the project cars, like set cameras from the outside so we can hear the exhaust and 0-60 times.
Love your channel man but after you complete these builds feel as if there is something missing like the driving experience and all that..
Was looking forward to you coming back, Chris!!! Can't wait to see the new build. Keep up the fab work
Dude you have to finish this car, I'd like to see the bonnet on too....finish the job mate
CarLubeTv *hood
MrCods Nahhhhh its a damn hood
MrCods Lol japanese people call it neither a hood or bonnet,
^^ Finish it and make it a clean and complete build commit to the time and just grind it to completion. Would kill me to see this thing sit and rot over the winter, get it done atleast bodywork wise, PLEASEEE
Finish the Z all the way. Make it 100%. You finally built a car from the ground up, dont leave it half assed like other builds.
He's not leaving anything. And it's definitely not half assed. What good is finishing the car if you can't use it till spring
Chancey Wilczewski reread what i said, slowly.
@@trash08 He hasn't really left any other builds half assed alot of negative shit talkers on here
Big congratulations for making it to SEMA and showing off the car that you´ve created with lots of blood sweat and tears. The timeframe for the project was very tight and that you made it so far is amazing!
I can understand that you need a bit of a break from the build, so I´d have no problem with watching you start the new supercar build (my guess is the old Ford GT) while the Z sits on the back burner. As long as it will get finished and you can show us some juicy driving vids! :)
I think the more fun you have making these videos, the more fun we have watching them. So if you have more fun with the new supercar, then go for that one.
New build,
sounds good to me! 240 looks amazing😍 great job!
I'd vote for a renovation and improvement of the shop!
i think he got a propper shop hes moving his new builds to
Man I guess I’m a minority but I’d kill for more 240z stuff
There are other great Z builds. This is really not a Z . And the heart is no longer into the minutiae of finishing all the little details. Some one else would ....
But its served its purpose ,now its just a killer of time and money ,to completely sort it....then what ?
@@MindDezign Why put a v10 in a 240 and not finish it? Finish it, rego it, enjoy it.. who wants a busted V10 that cant rev over 3.5k rpm... may aswell have bought a gopher and wrapped it in blue vinyl
@@Boosted26L because he isnt THAT kind of car builder.Like most of us are. Look at his track record he sees cars as an object.
He doesnt have the car guy bug in him like a true car guy ( yet)
Some one else is and could bring the rough sketch he built to the next level. But he doesnt have that in him at this point.
He only got into cars when he started this channel pretty much.
Im sticking with let some one else love on it. He is already mentally in a "New Project Mode"
So be it...move on.
P.S. there is nothing Z about this car except t h e shell fitted over it .
I think that organizing your shop would be the most important at this stage. Get rid of as much "things" and "stuff" as possible. Get tools well sorted out and make your shop a nice and comfortable place to be...a place you enjoy and can think clearly in.
Then maby make a list of the biggest unknown's and difficult challenges the Fairlady M needs before a proper shakedown/track test day. So when the car is really ready for testing and tuning, you could park it nicely somewhere knowing that it works well and is ready for the next step.
Then you can relax and truly enjoy your new project. Don't rush in to it now Chris! Be smart and get down to scratch again, where stuff is organized and you don't keep thinking about all the "what ifs" on the 240. You need that car out of your system so something new can have your full focus.
It has been so inspiring following you Chris. Thank you a lot for your endurance and passion. You truly dare to do things your way and refuses to sell out. Cheers from Norway.
Gladd to see ya, go super i rushed my z and wound up selli g it becouse after a winter of high power i was just over it, all the random spunnouts from black ice just kills it.
Gladd to see ya .
I want to see the 240 fully finished. =)
It'll get finished. Do you want to see it finished just to have to wait to see it used?
I want you to finish the z entirely for one reason, and one reason only; for the fact that it will be everything you've dreamt in a finalized (or mostly) state that you can fully enjoy to the vehicle's limits.
I've always felt you jump to new projects because it keeps the flow going, but also due to being afraid of what that finalization can mean for the car...that it will be sold. I honestly believe this car is a different narrative for the B is for Build story. The tipping point to major life changes, and things to come.
Complete it to a state of reliability, and keep her. Imagine a huge B is for Build shop with it in the showroom window.
Edit: I know he said he will never sell it, but people do get bored. I just feel this one has to exist far into the future.
Do what you feel like doing man, your content is awesome !
I did watch the interior video before voting and commenting, you made some really valid points on both, the trans error plus the seat rebuild / interior button up and fuel cell pickup could take weeks on each where the breaks and small air leak / air line placement could take hours to sort out. Its going to be great to see it finish but I say move on to the New Build, you guys worked you butts off on the 240Z especially the last month of the build and deserve to see something new, from experience burnout could turn you off of finishing it. So take a brake from it, make a list on what it needs to be finished on it set it aside and take on the new build, then finish the Z. Thank you for the always awesome builds and content.
Agreed
I understand and you have good points. I am just concerned that if you don't finish it now, it will never get finished. We will never see it again just like we never see any of the other cars. How about fix the obvious stuff and get it ready now with the understanding that you will have just a few things to revisit before a track day.
You need mirrors for that thing, I would love to see fender mirrors. would fit this car so well.
I just realized how much this channel has grown still remember the first brz days working on it in the backyard. Keep up the good work :)
i love ur show soooo much do what ever u want ^^ as long as u have fun and the show is going on i´m happy :D
REDO THE GARAGE (drywall and paint the walls with a cool vinal
Bilal Ibrahim so I’m not the only one thinking this....
I've been thinking the same
YES
Yes, definitely could do with a refurb
I actually really like that idea. New clean garage for a supercar build. I like it
My opinion can be summed up as, "Why not both?"
I think you can stagger episodes or do some other mix (say, 3 ep new build, 1 ep 240z), like with the Gambler 500 cars, so that you can be totally ready to have fun with it when the weather and track openings make it possible again. That way you can have a full fleet of B is for Build track cars once the weather and track conditions make it right. Further, it can help avoid stalls in the builds. Is that new bumper for the next car going to take a week to ship and you can't do much else? Keep adjusting the breaks on the 240z in the meantime. You have more paint drying on the 240z hood? Spend the rest of the day on the next beast.
At a minimum, I'd like to see the 240z cleared for being street safe and legal. That way it won't be looming over you when you do have a chance to drive it.
Exactly this
Exactly
i agree
100% This
I agree
Hood first, then seat. 3rd breaks, 4th trans, alignment(try dig first for that). Great car! Love the build.
Although part of me wants to see the Z in all its glory- the reason I watch this channel is your enthusiasm for building something. It’s pretty clear that’s where your passion has always been with cool cars as a close second. So I say BUILD! Do what makes you happy because that’s what makes me as a viewer happy. Just make sure you keep the Z somewhere safe and dry while it’s on hiatus ;) I’d hate to see it get damaged like some of your others. Best of luck! Looking forward to the next build!
The build is not finished until you hoon it properly and go on Hoonigans. It's too special to not finish off properly Chris.
Dan Allnatt the hoonigans don’t know him I was watching there video at Sema they where looking at his car And didn’t even know who’s car was
@@johnpittsvids9055 you dont have to be 'known' to go onto build biology or just visit. Anyway they knew vaguely who's the car was just not specifics. I think it would be great to take and show them all the work that's gone into it and explain it all.
@@johnpittsvids9055 but now they know his car....if he called them up and said "yo scumbags! That was my car. Can i bring it by?" I guarantee they would say "yes please"
Chris will never ask to go on hoonigans, for good reason.
@@cwilczewski23 i reckon they'd all get on quite well
I think to produce good quality content you need to enjoy it. Take a break, sprinkle some 240 videos in throughout the winter. You can get everything checked off the list except the trans issues until fair weather in the spring/summer.
wilwood hydraulic e brake with dual caliper setup in the rear for drift purposes, angle kit for the front end
hey Chris, Try going down a hill or a highway going 30+ MPH and hold down both the up/down paddles for 30-60 seconds and then let go and put your car in gear, it worked for my uncles M6, hopefully it helps you out and fixes the problem(s)
Much love from Oregon City!!
Good Luck!
Finish build the Z to completion!!!! Don't be the guy who jumps from build to build and not complete it.
Finish the Z first so it's ready to hit the track on opening weekend. Winter is for getting the race car prepped and ready for the first day of spring.
i agree with you man id like to see the car at least ready for when it gets nice.
Finish it properly and get it sorted out. You've made something too cool and enjoyable to sabotage your ability to enjoy it by half-assing the last details. The comment you made about cars are never done is due to the same project ADD you're suffering now. POWER THROUGH.
quaife sequential trans missions come with optional syncromesh gears for smooth shifting with their dog boxes for smooth comfortable street driving
Here's my advice Chris...
You'll need to address the driveshaft, it's a u-joint on one end and a cv joint on the other. Unless it runs perfectly straight, it will oscillate and vibrate your car apart, u-joints on an angle actually change the output speed of the driveshaft as they turn.
The body is mounted several inches too high on the frame so your dragging the diff at ride height. Any aggressive driving without jacking the suspension will smash it constantly. Plus the rear toe will always be off (as you had to buy adjustment control arms because its so poorly placed relative to the body, ride height changes will throw off toe.
You really should build something to better mount the front sub frame, you actually cut off one of the braces that should have triangulated the mounting points, don't want that breaking apart.
I had the top comment in one of your early videos where we (people who have tried, failed and succeeded in the past and wanted to pass on knowledge) tried to warn you about everything you were overlooking, that has now progressed into serious problems that make this car fundamentally flawed
I like your videos, seriously. I reached out over emails to try and warn you about the problems but never herd back. Hopefully I'm wrong and it works out well enough
It's quite possible the transmission has some kind of vibration sensors that are being triggered by the problems you mention causing the limp mode.
This will be figured out years later.
He spoke with actual professionals about all of those topics and covered them in the series
I’ve also mentioned this drive shaft a couple off times during the build! Either have 2 uni’s or 2 cv’s you can’t mix and match, there is no second uni to cancel out the un-constant velocity of the first uni.
Well, it's no secret that Chris cuts corners and disregards feedback quite often. Doesn't change the fact that the videos are nicely edited and the ideas are cool - it's just lacking execution.
Spend the winter finishing the car, so you can enjoy it in the summer. It would be a shame to leave it half done after all the work. On the side you can do smaller projects and fix up the workshop. A lot of your cars seem to disappear once their builds end, maybe you can do some videos fixing anything wrong with them.
Thanks for keeping us in mind bro but in my perspective it's up to you just keep making this channel awesome!
Onto the next build!! Bring the Z back in when it's good weather! You guys did such a great job!
Definitely finish the Z, and just leave the fine tuning for the spring. Otherwise you'll end up with a bunch of unfinished projects in your yard. Congrats for the Sema sucsess from Brazil.
Keep on working on the 240Z! We all want to see it done
It'll get finished. Do you want to see it finished just to have to wait to see it used?
Was pretty cool to see the car at sema in person, it’s for sure a hack job but for being built in your garage.... good job man 👨
supercar. your reasons make sense and i wanna see you happy working on something
If we don’t get to see that thing rip, then all of this was a complete waste of time.
You should finish the z and the shop maybe pave a driveway out front for extra storage
i am definitely in love with 240z, but you are right with weather and using it now ... new build will fresh things up and then we need you to "finish" 240z ... can't wait for both things
Tune those rear toe adjustments! You might start with "stock" settings. An alignment shop can handle most of that.
Great build, I have to say! awesome work!
Fix the 240, the thing is a bucket list car and you'll kick yourself for not making her perfect
Let's be honest, if it's not done now it'll never get done. I say finish the Z, get it right. You've spent all this time (and $$$) on it to not at least finish it off right.
Screw off
Been watching this build from the beginning of it! I love what you have done but a break wouldn’t hurt. Just don’t forget about the 240z!!!! Figure out the transmission.
Insane bro 🔥
1) Finish the 240Z. Transmission, Interior, a PROPER HOOD (with hood hinges), mount the grill and fix the fuel cell.
2) Make a nice garage for your fleet. Throw a wall down of the house if you must to. I believe you are not living there anyway. Something like Freddy is doing
3) Clean the cars. My OCD is about to quit my brain.
4) Here I would tell you to replace the windshield of the Aston, but no. NEVER CHANGE THAT sanded piece of glass. Build a proper grill please.
5) Does the Plan A has the Exhaust done?
These are just some crazy thoughts. Do whatever you want. We will still support the channel and the people/companies that support it as well.
Cheers from Argentina.
Finish it up finish one project before starting another
100% this is the only thing that irks me about this channel.
Its the details that is not what he is about. He liked the concept.He executed it git it to SEMA...its done. Time to move forward...there is no interest in the minutiae.So move on some one else will love to tinker it into completion.
I would like to see the 240 finished before we start another one, but at the same time you brought up some good points. I’m on the fence, whatever you decide I’m cool with it. Love the videos man, keep it up!!!
Want to see some winter off-road corvette stuff so you can let off some steam brother!!!
I watched motionautotv for what two years while he worked on his Supra and it was so worth the wait, you’re burnt out and I and many others understand that and will support you. The wait to see this car finally fit your vision and the dreams you have of it make that final video with you smiling your ass off so worth it. Been watching this channel since the very first brz I think I can wait a few months for this car.
Unless you’re going to sell it, I really want to see this car get worked on to the point it can be a daily driver. This has been the most exciting build for me to watch on KRplus cause there’s basically nothing in the world like it. Even a supercar is less unique.
That said, I know resolving all these little things is the opposite of the fast paced type of content that this channel is about, so it totally makes sense to start a new build, and give this car some love when you have the time. I totally agree with all the guys saying do an episode once a week on it. I love the fast paced content, but I feel like this car deserves to get the proper treatment of every little detail getting resolved, even if that takes a few years.
Complete it, i know the feeling. I have completely restored my BMW 2002 from the ground up, everything is complete except for my light bulbs... i have no idea why, but i am just not motivated to go get em, finishing touches are the most important ones.
I agree with your thoughts. The passion to continue on the Z will come back, and a new build may even offer fresh perspective on new creative ways to solve some of the Z's standing issues. I say bring on the next one!
Reading the comments I understand where everyone is coming from regarding finishing the build right, but a couple things to keep in mind is that this man has content to create, and he has worked on the Datsun nonstop for months. We work on our projects on nights and weekends and its our get away, but Chris's day job was this car. I understand taking break as well because being a fellow Oregonian , I understand that this car WILL NOT BE DRIVEN in the Winter. That being said, I'd like to see the Datsun big power super light build and the super engineered and super expensive hypercar build be finished in tandem for a testing and track day in the spring/early summer. Also like someone else's idea of doing a Datsun day episode once a week. But ultimately, it is your channel, do whatever you want to, we'll all still watch.
So many people on here don't understand it
4 episodes from now.. "Guys, the car was parked on the street and someone hit it."
Finish the build...You can't complain about the car being to fast , your next build is a supercar build...finish what ya started
Yer I thought the same thing..
Do what you want to do,we will still will watch your channel,and the move speaker is awesome thank you
I hate how so many people are voting (on the poll) the next build..like why?? Finish the current project then move on..just coz sema is over doesnt mean the build is over..
What poll? That is madness!
You've gotta finish the 240z build first because if you don't you'll end up not getting around to it. Bare minimum would be good nuf, brakes, air suspension and transmission. And get a hood you put all that work in you've gotta protect it.
Like almost everyone else that's commented. Finish it and make it look like it's come out of the factory. I realise you said it would be done in the background and not filmed, but as we've seen it from a shell to almost completion it would be a shame not to see the final buttoned up car.
It'd be great to see the interior finished, the centre armrests re-trimmed. The dashboard looking factory and the wiring hidden. As another subscriber said, tuned and on the dyno.
Personally, I think the shiny carbon centre to the steering wheel is hideous.
Anyway, those are my thoughts, it's a marvelous build regardless but would be a shame not to see it finished. Chin chin.
New build!!! I love your content and I think you deserve a change of pace and breather from the Z. We all love the car, and we know you do, but it's only normal and healthy to take a break and start the next build for a little while. It's not "incomplete", it's just on a break until the next phase.
Please finish the 240z before jumping to a new project You guys put in so much work so far on it, and both your team and the car deserves the satisfaction of being road-worthy. Most feedback I've seen on the car is the drivers seating is too cramped. You should make that first priority along with transmission limp mode. If you are worried about the weather in Oregon, take a weekend trip to somewhere dry and get on a dragstrip and racetrack to run it though it's paces. ALSO, fendor mirrors please! Love the channel.
Please make some wheelwells for the front wheels as well! It’ll keep your whole enginebay so much cleaner and a lot less risk of stuff flying up into the itb’s! Also, great to have you back Chris, we’ve missed you!
This, and build out some undertray to smooth out the airflow under the car.
Let's get this thing perfect!!!
Since he's used to do software, what better than to start from scratch? /s
Justin Wright he forgot the fender mirrors in the beginning
As a fellow builder, I understand the predicament. I’d suggest working on the Z in the background, when you get that motivation/info/resources/supplies to move forward with it, work on it.
Although I don’t KRplus and I only do it as a hobby between work, kids and general life, I’ve found my daily driver needing lots of work, and my project has taken the back seat again, now the daily is near ‘finished’ and is 95% up to spec, I’ve started to work on the project again, ordering parts, reassembling it, but when the daily needs work, the project takes a back seat for a few days, I wish I hadn’t pulled the project off the road again, but hindsight right? At least in your situation u have plenty of cars to drive so u don’t have to worry bout a daily.
Take little nibbles out of the Z, record wat u can, when u can, even if the next episode is a month away, and u work on 4 times over that month, and u only get 1 short update episode, do it that way, it allows u to break up your work and keep u motivated and interested.
Try using that pipe bender/kinker as a press for bushings or bearings. If the piston works while you turn the thing upside down and is strong enough. Might be doable with minor adjustments
The car deserves to be 100% complete!
I love how the top rated comments consist of "Finish the 240z" however the poll shows the complete opposite.
Where is that poll?
RockinChaos that’s cuz the poll leaders don’t need to argue why they’re winning, they’re trying to plead their case in the comments lol
@@cyriously_nick2191 Apparently you're wrong because most people don't even know where the poll is.
EDIT: For those who do not know, on desktop, you can click the (i) icon on the top right-hand corner of the video for the poll. I am unsure about mobile though.
RockinChaos mobile is top right , legit says poll here
I have an 07 M6, absolutely have to finish the build man, its almost where you want it!
You don't have to completely finish the Z, but get it to a better place than it is now before starting the next build. Get a new hood, bleed the brakes, and fix the transmission. The rest is minimal and can wait.
Finish the Z first for the love of god
If you don't get it done right at this moment, you will probably never finish it properly. So, make it perfect!
Since its entering winter over there and you can't take it out anyways, save it for spring / early summer set of videos, go thru the list of deficiencies, resolve all of them, focus on performance/ handling and take it to a track where you can do some real tests with it. Also maybe do a meet and greet with the car somewhere. I too would like to see it completed since you've gone this far with it.
Just finish the 240 properly if there is much left half assed just fix it make it nice instead of having another car that is just work in progress. Although i dont think there would be much left its pretty nice already and i really do hope you thin out that loom as that is a lot of added useless weight.
Finish 240z and clear/tinted blue hood would be nice.
ITS HENNADIY clear good, cool idea
Hood**
ITS HENNADIY it’s not a Honda lol
José Rodríguez good point!
I was thinking a small window like the old zr1
Let's see the supercar, throw in a few Z episodes when you can.
@Corbin McGuire a GTR is a supercar bruh
Keep both cars. Def do not sell the Z until the project is streetable without major mechanical issues.
Start the exotic first tho and bounce back n forth between them over the winter.
Sweet channel man!
I think that you should work on both, like start the next build while you also try to find out what is wrong with the transmission, plus if you have having trouble with a problem for a while, sometimes it can be good to work on something else for a week or two and come back with a fresh set of eyes.
Clean up the shop, drywall it, paint, get some heat in it, then finish the Z. If you start another project, still finish the Z and show us the highlights.
I would say it would be best to keep the momentum and finish it to perfection before jumping into the other project. The SMG transmissions are very temperamental and will go into limp mode if any of the system's components are slightly out of spec mainly the pump and solenoids. I would suggest outsourcing the issue to a BMW indy shop due to the complexity of diagnosing the system. With regards to the brakes, the system bleeds them automatically through the BMW DIS software.
Working with cars should be fun. If I was in a shoe, I would be quite tired of 240Z. Especially the great job you did before SEMA. I would start at the next building. Do not forget to make a list of what's left on 240z before setting it aside until the glow pops up again.
By the way, I would have done a clear glass hood to the car. Rumor says it should not be so difficult to vacuum in PE plastic.
Also mesh over the intake rakes so that you do not suck small birds and gravel into the engine
But this is just what I should have done.
Thank you for a wonderful channel
You and some others have inspired me to start my own channel.
Excellent job on this for your timeframe. I think you should finish this project up and get it as good as you can before moving on to the next one. If you need help with the trans, hit me up as I have worked on a ton of these transmissions at the BMW/Mercedes shop that I work at.
