In todays episode were getting our Konig Hypergrams wrapped in some temporary rubber, and then installing our D2 Air Struts on the 240z to check out or overall ride height options.

if i were him, i will use the chassis of M5 together with all mounting and subframe, cut it shorter to match the wheelbase of the 240z, . cut the 240z body in the middle, and attached to the chassis of M5 left side and right side, then weld additional steel panel in the middle. we will get a wider 240z, with modern chassis of M5.
What is the full suspension you have on it
Love this channel! Can't wait to try out the game!!
Been flying through this series over the last week. Inspiring. Love your attitude and the build! Also, there's something deeply beautiful to me about the tubular frame components surrounding that engine.
You do know that’s not a Rocket Bunny kit right!? That’s a replica. RB kits fit better.
14:40 Bradology right there 💪🏼
D is for dick
Have you realized that there's not much different in width beetween M5 and 240Z? You could use the 240Z chasis/body…. You only get like 10 cm wider. Crazy.
DO NOT CUT the main body of the shock, it is pressurised and it would be scrap…..
loving this build This is making me wish I had my 240Z 2+2
Why instead of cutting the struts don't you just lift up the strut towers to gain the height for the struts to seat in….
The wheels just seem way to big for the Body.. I think you should go with a smaller set of wheels.
Lol
Why don't you just extend the rear shock tower's so the shocks are mounted higher up bringing the car lower instead of cutting up the shocks!!
Good content by the way.
We had better see this vs Moogs from MCM
Shout out to Koenig for being awesome about your wheels. If they make a set that fits an xterra I’m definitely going to be looking their way in a few months when i upgrade my wheels and tires
I find this build very interesting and insightful. My question is, how do you get the suspension and steering system aligned seeing as how you have created the frame for these parts to go together? Isn't it possible that the tires will have uneven wear on them if they aren't properly aligned? This also includes excess stress and tension on parts that are not in their original position.
No offense but such wide tyres just look goofy
Downloaded and bought the lotus for 1,10€:)
i think the suspension got to straight,change the angel of struk tower a litle bit.

What is the obsession with having ever car scraping the ground ?.
Looking at those front wishbones the front suspension is totally bottomed out so actual driving height will be a good 6” higher than that… that geometry is going to be a problem if you don’t address it now
This whole project was not well thought out. This car is going to be so high. You will sacrifice suspension arm travel and axle limitations going lower. The subframe needs to be raised for a true drop.
this is looking amazingggggggggggggggggggggggg
Hi B, the diff is dangerousli low now. Why not put the frame couple of inches higer so you got the normal stans from M5 and the body closer to ground?
Just buy a 285z. Fixes everything
This car is sick……love the build…..it's helping keep my dream and focus on my truck going!! Keep up the good work!
Great build can't find your game tho is it out yet or out in the UK. ?
Chris you are the best me and my dad watch you all the time
You know what would be cool.
Make it widebody with metal fenders, don't use some plastic fenders bolted to the body.
Make it part of the car!
Glad I met you! Thanks man shook your hand at fedex
Where is d is for drift? Not on Google play
The cars gonna slam another 2 inches it seems in the rear once you cut the frame that's hitting the ground and the wheel well arches. You'll need to focus on getting the front lower than the back after you do that. The fronts pretty much slammed as far as it'll go right now in this video. I'd move the plates you welded in on the top of the tube frame to gain a few inches. My main worry is that slanted driveline because the transmission doesn't line up with the diff. I really hope that's not going to cause a problem. Up and down driveline geometry is a good thing. Going left to right throws the harmonic balance of the driveshaft off and will destroy the u-joints.
Who make the airbags
I don’t get it. You don’t want oversized wheels because you wanna keep a classic look of a Z but then you want to drop the Z to the floor which is definitely not a classic look. Make up your mind. I personally like that ride high and doesn’t need to go lower
damn Chris, this thing is really taking shape, good job!
Don't stretch the tire, please, it looks ricer esk and does not complement performance eather.
This car is getting somewere now. Keep up the good work
You're wrong about the threads bottoming out. you already have less threads in the sleeve then you do on the shock and it didn't bottom out. So you can just cut the sleeve.
You will need to keep the drive shafts and lower a arm level at your normal ride height, you may have to raise the rear diff cradle otherwise the rear controll arms/drive shafts being not level will cause accelerated drive shaft ware and poor rear geometry
Why do you want it to touch the ground??
I think the wheels are too big for that car I would go with some 16s maybe :/
Pretty cool game! Good job!
Dont lower the car anymore just buy low side skirts and a low front lip boom problem solved
