to watch aaron and emily grin at power zen has was awesome great watching
This is way better that the TV series you made ;)
Generar rool is always try to have the cv boot metal "stripes" ends pointing in rearward rotation if some cable or other debris hits it, then there will not be any grabbing action
love you guys and I love watching you guys work on the Z , Thanks for the great ideas from my channel and working on my 280z . I noticed something that perhaps no one else did in this episode. when you pounded out the old bolts from the axle the nut of the bolt was on the side of the casing. however when you put the new shafts in you put the nuts toward the wheel casing . If you put the bolts in before installing the axle into the wheel housing and then installed the spacer and the half shaft the bolt would have had plenty of clearance to put the nut on . Just my observations ! not criticism.
Kenneth Bascom Huh!!! Interesting observation! Sometimes when you’re in the middle of the project an outside perspective really helps! Maybe if we have issues down the road we’ll remember this 😅👊🏼
Good luck with your Z!
You two are the best entertaining couple I have found on U Tube,
Always a pleasure to watch your videos,keep it up!
Man... I hope that you didn't compromise the structural integrity of those control arms! The Z's Friggin' Awesome, as are both of you!
Having run the Porsche style CV's on my Ghia (350+ HP in my VW) I was just getting ready to tell you to retorque them at about 50-100 miles when at 13:50 into video I found I was too late with my warning.... I had the flange welded up, threaded and heat treated so I don't need nuts and I ALWAYS keep a spare set of bolts on hand -- I wouldn't trust those thin nuts for very long!
totally late to the party but a great episode. The cameo of us surprised us and brought a cool smile to our family.
That was awesome you all left that corvette sitting still! Love it!
Hi you two! In areas like the half shafts (areas that are very important, yet you can not use conventional bolt/nut locking methods) you may want to look at ideas by Stage 8 fasteners. I have used them on header bolts (thermal cycles like to loosen the bolts)., and CV half shafts (don't want to loose them at high speed).
I need to do this to my LS swapped Z! I’ve been babying it because I know 425 hp will destroy my u joints in a heartbeat. Driveshaft shop made my driveshaft, might as well make it all match. Very cool to see you all do this first! Thank you!
15:06 absolute favorite frame of the episode! You guys are awesome!
Your production is really moving forward in leaps and bounds. Great work on the edit, it was really well done, with a nice flow, keep it up.

Too much fun! FYI on the Porsche flanges, the 6 bolts will need re-tightening after a serious track day, at least on the 944 Turbo S even if you have blue Loctite.. I have a 944 Turbo S with a ported head and a billet Bullet cam, about 380-390 HP @ crank and get under there and re-tighten after a track day. There's a small contingent here in the Pac NW of Tracked 944 Turbo S's and it's common practice among everyone. There's a couple S's north of 500 HP. Perhaps check on them after Aaron drives.

Surprised the folks at driveshaftshop would not see this tolerance issue and engineer the hardware the other way around... maybe they make stub shafts that would eliminate the need for the custom tailoring ? In any event it is great to see you two getting out and enjoying the car before the summer was all gone !
I had so much fun in my 1973 Blue Datsun 240z. My first car at 19 and your car reminds me of the fun I had with mine. I wish I still had it. But I am planning on getting one within a few years!
missed you all hope everything is going good the tv show ect again good to seeyou again
Datzen is growing up to be a beautiful lady, congrats on a great build guys
Most of the z cars I've seen get this far horsepower wise, the next weak link will be the factory stub axles. Assuming you still have them. Kinda looked like them in the video. I ordered mine years ago from whitehead performance to go with my r200 and 280zx cv axles. They're made from chromoly and you can get a wide variety of spline options and companion flanges for your application.
Another great video. Thanks for posting the pic with my daughter at the gas station. She still talks about meeting you. Hopefully we can meet again next year on power tour. Stay safe.
Always fun to watch! Such great editing too! A day late to watch as got busy on my own project truck but still don't miss a vid.
I've been searching for CV's for my 260z v8 for a while. This is the first setup I've seen that I actually trust may work with a better lock nut or safety wire or welded nut. :D Thanks!
I look forward to your every video guys, the Datsun is an amazing car of your collection... love you guys :).
And just because you don't have enough reasons to love Emily, she is also a speed freak.😄
Don't know if anyone else commented but Datzen looks super badass without the rear bumper!
Omg!! I want that intake setup on my truck!! Sweet!
Very professional camera work guys. Great content and plus your having fun!
Long time no see awesome video you 2!! Your projects are always awesome now you're Datsuns fixed that's the way to drive it!
If you knew how LONG I've been searching for another "I'll give it a crack", FEMALE CAR CZcams'r, who does her own vids... I'm Aussie, it's awesome to watch another chic, gettn' it done!
👍👍👍 Spot on Emily. 😎
Mandie Smith Thanks so much Mandie!!! Sure means a lot to hear, so glad you like it! ♥️
Fast Little car for sure, nice job too. Have fun with it i would !
Way to go gang. Great hammer job on dat clutch / axels Aaron.
Stub axles will be next, they are VERY spindly and friction welded. There's cro-mo versions available but they're big bux and the pumpkin is the next issue. There's an 8.8 conversion that was offered on HybridZ by a member but I'm not sure it's still available any longer and I've yet to install mine. Badly need a good 8.8 solution!
Apex engineered is about to release a full rear suspension replacement that supports r230 and 8.8. Should be in the next few weeks
Johnston Spillers I explored the r230 for my car. The only LSD at the time was in the 300zxtt, the gearing I needed came from one of the trucks they were making. The gears wouldn’t fit in the TT housing and the guy who claimed he could mate everything together in the truck housing flaked on me. I gave up pursuing it when guys started reporting shearing the stubs coming out of the pumpkin. The TT housing with the LSD were neither cheap nor plentiful when I looked years ago.
The 8.8 though is VERY interesting! The setup I’ve got needs some pieces and some tweaking to be complete. If someone has a complete setup available I might bite the bullet for it! However I’ve sold off the billet stubs I had so I’m hoping they have a solution for that for less than a mint! The 8.8 is everywhere, lots of gears, and finding people knowledgeable is easy. Fingers crossed, thank you!
Love your new look with your glasses
after you ground on the Nets and put Loctite on them and ground off the excess bolt before you put the shafts in cutting those bolts off heated up that lock tight that's why I didn't hold
I don't know what took me so long to find this channel! Got a serious binge going on it. Motivation to throw my Nova back together for power tour!
You guys are pretty cool... Real down to earth people and you guys keep it real.
I would second the votes for welding the nuts, as those thinner nuts, even with loctite, dont have enough bearing surface to build up enough friction to keep them from vibrating loose. Another thing you didn't mention in the video, but what rating are those nuts? they looked pretty low grade/generic and even if you weld them, might not handle the environment and crack/split
Tig weld nuts , loctite 271 bolts 👍
Good morning flying Sparks garage good morning Emily and Aaron I love your videos the F-150 you guys test drive is nice I miss my F-150 she was black with red interior she was a great truck I'm stupid to trade her in for a Thunderbird that eat more gas then the truck did my old truck was an 1994 F150 I miss that truck it was a great truck it had a Mustang engine in it was a 5.0
glad to see you guys back in shop !!!!!!! love the shop work and hotrods keep them coming !!!!!
I knew it....Emily is a Garage Ninja :)
Great job you two, love the build. Awesome video & some wonderful info in the comments too.
I hope you both have a great day, stay cool & be safe.
Awesome guys. 👍🏻 It was fun reliving some of those great Power Tour memories with you all. And if I owned a Z, I would “most definitely” buy these axles! I didn’t realize how much heftier they are compared to stock!
Good times! Glad you two had a blast.love your channel.
About dang time!!! Missed you!
What a blast! I saw you staying dry under the tent on Riding With Alex Taylor's Woodward Ave video, you just leaned into the shot for a quick second.
Awesome ride!! Great video !!
Looks like you could take the allen bolts out of the adapter and bolt up from the spline side with grade 8 bolts 609 loctite and 747 loctite primer.
Its is super strong usually need to add heat when taking bolts out when using it.
Check out the suspension Mighty Car Mods put on the back of their Fairlady. Might be an idea for a future upgrade.
Great to see you and Aaron again Emily, and shop dog too, I think Datzen is my favourite car of yours :) Cheers from Australia :)
Stumbled onto your channel. Took 10 seconds to subscribe! Haha! Even have the wife watching. ✌
Man, I love that little car!
Emily, look for "jet nuts." They are much shorter in height than nylocks, all metal and self-locking
Dude you came in clutch. Just ordered a set before cutting anything up.
I'll be finally putting the 2015 mustang diff into my 240z next week. Strong and cheap
and if you get it going I have a black primer karmann ghia that would like to race you!
p.s. im in Harrisburg 100 miles south ill make the drive;)
that Datzen turned out So freaking Good, If the old people building those cars could see your's Now!
Love the Z! Glad to see you are havin fun beating the snot out of it!!
You killed the original loctite when you cut the bolts to length after being installed. Unless of of course you removed, loctited and reinstalled them afterwards.
What a fun Ride nice job !
Emily Rocks....!!!
As a fellow LSx Z owner on stock axles I’m not completely sold on these axles for the price and fitment. I’ve read online that the bolts coming loose is fairly common and people end up using safety wire to keep them on.
Regardless thanks for the video!
Coastalways The actual axles and adapters are badass, we figured our rig on getting them in the car was part of the problem- but we’re pretty decided on just welding the bolts to the stub shaft so they don’t come out!
There's CV stubs for R200's in the Silvia's etc. Maybe that's a better option inboard?
agentcrm the CV axles from a 300zxt fit and you get a viscous lsd R200 too, I still don’t trust it though and the gear ratio stinks. 8.8 is the way to go IMO.
So cool. Good to see the Datsun and you guys again. Don't let Aaron break it. lol
You definitely have this 240Z guy interested in this kit.
Ok.......you hit the nail on the head. “Something else is going to break before the axle does.” You’re right. You dumped an LS into a driveline designed for 200hp. Unless you upgrade the driveline to balance the power of that motor something is going to break. U joints are cheap. Think of them as shear pins. You upgrade the axles and u joints and the weak point becomes the differential or transmission. I’m waiting for that episode. “Replacing the transmission and rear end on the Datzen”
Great to finally see the Ep. :D
It's always find finding the week link in the cars. ;p
Love it guys!!! Thanks for sharing your world with us!!!
Yes! Well done btw the cover pic of you two is great
hahaha, that laugh at 15:26. good stuff. Thanks again for sharing!
1/2 shaft upgrade nice but that grinding on your LCA to make it fit looks a bit sketchy (11:38) - Almost looks like you got a crack going on there.
Awesome channel Emily ...just found you guys via Jeff and autorestomod...Subscribed !
Love this Z guys.... Definitely on my list of dream projects!!!
HRPT was so much fun with you guys.
After all the trials and tribulations with this car it's nice to finally see it "complete". As much as any car is ever complete.
I definitely prefer the format you guys produce here on CZcams over what you're doing on MT on Demand's Safety Glasses show.
AZ Patriot Doing TV certainly changes things but we’re still ourselves- just a tad more refined! Lol!!! That’s why keeping CZcams was important to us ♥️👊🏼
air craft spec. 1 and half threads past nuts just saying. or mig it . like to see how it hangs out.worked on z cars back in the day at bob sharp. paul newmans, scotty sharps and tom cruise ,race shop in back of bob sharp ferrari. used to have all speed parts gota look might have somethin for your z.cool channel new sub.
Just a gorgeous car!
Now that that's out of the equation, how about a three way showdown with ratson from roadkill and the fairladyZed from mighty car mods. That way we'll know to build cheap, moderate, or break the bank haha. Great video like always still waiting to see hear if we're getting a Buick special 4X4 build.
Really cool, I'm getting addicted to Datsuns!
Man that thing looks like a lot of fun.
only 58k subs? what! you need a boat load more this video was really good made me sub
Jeff domner Thanks so much!!!!!
Keep an eye on that A arm.
Sweet ride,STOP BREAKING IT!😳LOL🤗
Great video Emily thanks for sharing have a great day sweet
Great video I live in GBC and have been watch for a long while
james baker Really?! That’s awesome!!!
This is like TBBT except Leonard is a diesel mechanic and Penny is a fashion model!
she is so naturally beautiful, it takes ya breath away, and she loves cars, she s a keeper, lucky man,
Man that thing sounds awesome
Roll cage next? Love your channel and this build. Keep it up!
Awesome stuff
Adapt, Over come and improvise =) God you 2 make it look easy =) Stay Cool and Party On!
That 280z is sweet
Your next week link will be the lower control arms I have twisted them on a hard launch before
I hope you have better luck then I did (-:
The notch they made ain't helping either... I'd swap in tubular ones.
Yeah, we need tubular ones for sure!
Watching in 2021 and wondering - Have you gone back in and checked for cracking on the Lower Control Arms around the sections where you cut metal away for clearance?
For the Drive Shaft Shop, it would be better to do a version of the hubs that have a narrower outside diameter, and achieve the clearance that way, rather then reducing the strength of the two suspension components responsible for transferring the entire mass of the back half of the body and torque load from the axles.
The slimmer nuts don't have a lock-washer - it'd be wiser to have reversed the design, so the head of the bolt goes where the nut is, and have the nut captive inside the spacer. (Edit : And then we get to the section on the side of the road - Lock Washers!)
i meet you, ( kia ) and seen you in bowling green, shouted at you when we went by
Same CV kit for the 510.
Love this couple. Get it
Hay guys love you channel and the team work. 1 question? Thought about putting a rear wing on that z?
How about some weather stripping for something to make those doors soundless instead of a clunker sound when they are shut? Not being critical, just think improvements could be made!
Excellent to see husband and wife work together on hot Rods. My wife does too.
MrHevyshevy It’s the BEST!!! You guys are awesome, thanks for dropping in ♥️👊🏼
Wondering how this is holding up. Have a similar setup with a 1jz in a 60z. All you did for the axles was notch the CA's and loctite file the bolts/nuts?
Hey, Emily, where have you both been? You used to post a movie every week. Now it's hardly a movie every month. Are you now going to come back to previous routine? I'm sure, a lot of folks have been missing your builds. You better shape up with it ... :))
👍👍That is 1 beautiful car. 👍👍 God Bless🙏
I saw that coming. LOL
Great episode!!! Loved it!
What is it about an ass happy burn out that gets us all giggle snot slap happy ? I'm 66 years young and feel like a 4 year old on his first carnival ride every time ! Super slick ride BTW. You two make a great team .
Orion Fixr I don’t know what it is, either!!! SO MUCH FUN!
Sure appreciate the nice comment, thanks for watching!!
Awesome stuff guys!!!
