I watch literally almost every Automotive RU-vid channel on RU-vid,Yours is hands down my favorite..You seem like such a genuine dude,You’re good at what you do my dude mad props
G35 GUY Actually Chris has helped me fix my truck more times than I care to admit lol I have the same truck as him,But chris fix just shows you how to fix stuff which is awesome but with jimmy it’s more personal ya know like I feel like I could walk up to jimmy and talk to the dude like we been friends since kindergarten lol
you sure? By having a red reflector, I think that would be okay (assuming red bulbs as well). Lexus RX330 tail lights are entirely clear, but its legal because they have a red reflector on the bumper.
You would at minimum need to have a red reflector and an amber reflector, and correct color bulbs, but I have seen CHP write tickets for modified lights because they are DOT legal, when they pull people over. Guy in a local group had some aftermarket lights but they were not DOT approved so he got a ticket.
LAPD has all kinds of training programs and special divisions, same with the CHP. They have the Specialized Enforcement Section, Aggressive Driving Detail, Traffic Division gets special training. Its not like they are going hunt you down, but if you get stopped for something else or stuck in one of their check points it can be a problem.
he jimmy. I am in the same process as you. only I convert my na vg engine to a tt. I get a lot of tips from your video, what I can apply to my z. thanks 👌
I love how your channel shows that you can build sick cars on a budget. Not everybody is made of money and lots of people make us all think you have to be to build a nice car. Keep up the good work Jimmy
Had a shitty day at work. Came home kinda just bleh, BUT, this video just felt so calming, made my night. Thanks jimmy oakes, been keeping up and trying to watch whenever I get a notification. You seem like just a chill guy who just damnly love cars. Hopefully I get to meet ya one day. Keep up with them videos!
For the Brakes you should do the 350z upgrade. Theres a small adapter for the caliper to space them out (eBay or ConceptZ) and the 12.75" 350z rotors. would look dope since the 300zx calipers definitely need some bigger rotors.
BenniBenson I generally agree but in his perspective he already has a clean z w the JDM tails so might as well be different and go a bit more ballZ to the walls on this rhd one.
Jimmy keep grinding ! I saw ur tweet about ur friends that dont support you with youtube. Forget them! Keep the fire content. Keep the videos i csnt wait for the Z to be finished!
Those tails came out fire Jimmy! Totally a mod that would be period correct from Japan. Shit I remember my old Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 game you could have clear tails on most of the cars. I thought it was weird at the time, but if you do it right you can definitely make it work, and you sure as hell did! Would be sick to see the jdm pinstriping on it too. :)
Thank you so much for this video, i been wanting to do all clear tails for my hatch forever and i know i needed to use that material, but just seeing it be done was cool. sick bruh thanks
YES ON THE TAIL LIGHTS ❤️ but need that pinstripe ASAP And for the drilled and slotted rotores use 88rotors.com they sell the set for the fronts for 80$ and 80$ for the rears free shipping
I just put the CTS-v calipers on my z32 with 350z track rotors and holy shit what a difference. Even if you keep the stock calipers consider getting a relocation kit so you can run a bigger rotor it's worth it. Love the Zs
Paint the faces of your wheels copper then get some electrical copper foil tape, use it as the pinstripe (its super sticky and it’s the same size as the pinstripe). I think it would look SICK, hotboi and different. Or gold, could also just do copper/gold on the turn signals then black pinstripe for the break light to give it some diversity.
Jimmy, you need to build custom z32 swaps year round and raffle them off online. You would make a killing. Ill take 100 free entries for the idea ..ha.
Jimmy I love everything you do but.. Not a fan of those tail lights... maybe clear the indicator out but both looks a little ricey imo. It's only my opinion and it's not the worse, but hey... your car mate! Keep up the good content
I’m really digging the all clears personally! They only work because the car is black though. Don’t think it would work with many other colours. Great contrast
My z was 100% oem when I got it ( it was my 2nd z32 ) and I took all the oem stuff I wouldn't use ( manuals , radio , spare , oem jack , headlight alignment tool ) and set it aside out of the car
I have some brand new fenders and bumpers I sell you for that car. I bought it for my car and was going to do it over in my body shop. But the car got vandalized so I just gave up on doing anything for the car.
I gotta set of all clears ima throw on my car... Gonna use red led for the tail/stop lights and regular natural amber turn signal bulbs to avoid the fast flicker.
Just to let you know if you want to separate headlights or tail lights put them in the oven at the lowest point with cardboard underneath it and set the oven to 325 for 8 mins and they will separate like butter 👌🏽
Ive made quite a few custom tails like these but for an FC. One trick i could give you to cut the clear diffusers is to heat up a blade till its red hot and it just cuts through it :) and sand the edge to make it clean
Make a cabinet and sit your heatgun then once warm put the light in and go from there some guys use a cardboard box and a hairdryer so that’s why I said a cabinet instead
