That seemed like a pretty clean conversion. It was nice to see your break down of the different stuffage you put into the project. Pretty nifty! Say, do you think it would be possible to remove the entire drive train and battery system from a Nissan Leaf and install it nearly directly into the likes of a Nissan Rogue? It seems like there are a lot of similarities between the two vehicles.

Nice build! Legit question, how do you register this to the DMV? I know nothing about registering a project car on DMV
@internziko
@internziko 2 года назад
The smart thing to do would be literally just register it as a normal passenger vehicle. If you he tells the people at the DMV what he's done they will 100% not let him plate it. They'd probably tell him it needs special inspection and it more then likely would not pass and then he's screwed.
@Btu555

It's a good question. Most of cars from IAAI would have salvage title so it would need smog certificate to start with and sometimes would need CHP inspection if the vehicle is popular for stolen.

After watching your series on the conversion I am now tempted to find a old 4runner and mate the motor to the transfer case still giving me a 2 speed transfer and 4x4 for icy roads which would let you put the battery's under the hood since there would be nothing in the engine bay anymore.

I've watched this entire series, and it's been an amazing ride! The end result was well worth all of the effort you guys put into it. Very cool! Well done! Good luck with the endurance challenge. Hope to see footage of that too! Cheers for now.

Now you just need to figure out how to mount eye-bolts to the batteries in some way so you can lift them out quickly with an engine crane for the hot-swap. It'll be interesting to see if you can come up with a better cradle and anchoring system.

For when you daily drive it after the 24 hrs of lemons you should build a box over the batteries.

Bindged the whole thing. Wonderful! Great to find your channel. If you parallel those batteries on the right and left side for racing, for safety do you need to rollbar protection? Also, when not racing, would a form fitting 3D printed mold over both batteries help for tool boxes, rakes, shovels, groceries etc. for easy shopping and race day transport? Wonder if this mid channel could be preserved?

Great video! Your team are definitely relatable. Your approach and love for any motorized vehicles is very genuine. I would definitely like to try that with my 2013 Scion XB. Do you have a itemized list of parts needed? I am in Central Florida
