Please note: while we occasionally receive sponsored products, all reviews, commentary, and impressions are entirely my own. I don’t accept parts or compensation in exchange for positive reviews — that’s never been the deal. My responsibility is to the community, not the companies. If something’s great, I’ll say so. If something fails, I’ll say that too.

It’s all about building honestly, sharing the process, and staying true to the 3PM crew.

Channel Sponsors

At the moment, 3rd Pedal Media doesn’t have any official channel sponsors — but we’re always open to building meaningful partnerships with brands that align with our values and audience. Whether it’s tools, tech, gear, or services, we’re interested in working with companies who support creators and the DIY community.

Parts Sponsors

Huge thanks to the brands that have contributed parts and support to 3PM builds.

Partial Sponsors

Appreciation to the companies that offered discounted parts or support along the way.

2008 350z Track Build

This Z33 build is purpose-built for time attack, autocross, and track day events. The goal is to create a well-balanced platform that blends reliability, precision handling, and a raw driving experience — without relying on excessive power. It serves as a rolling testbed for parts, tuning techniques, and content that can help other grassroots drivers and DIY builders.

Sponsors:

  • Borla – Exhaust system partner, providing high-performance sound and flow characteristics.

  • PPE Engineering – Supporting the build with precision-crafted long tube headers and performance parts.

1972 Datsun 510 Restomod

The 510 is a long-term restomod project blending classic JDM styling with modern performance and electronics. It’s being transformed into a reliable street car with track-capable DNA — built with an emphasis on clean wiring, period-correct details, and modern drivability. Every part of the build is being documented to inspire other vintage Datsun enthusiasts chasing performance without sacrificing heritage.

Sponsors:

  • Haltech – Partial sponsorship of the R3 ECU, providing advanced engine management while maintaining flexibility for future upgrades.

  • Mazworx – Partial sponsorship of their CD009 Bellhousing to support the integration of the RZ34 6GP transmission

1970 Datsun 240z Restoration

This 240Z remains completely stock—down to its steel wheels and factory hubcaps. It's a rare survivor and a clean canvas that represents the car's timeless design in its purest form. The goal with this project is to preserve and document the originality of the car while refreshing it mechanically for future reliability. No wild modifications here—just respect for the heritage and a love for vintage J-tin.

2011 Infiniti G37s 6spd Sedan

This is where it all started. I bought the G back in 2014 — bone stock — and over the years it’s evolved into the car that built 3rd Pedal Media. Every bolt turned, every mod installed, every mile driven was part of the journey that sparked the channel and this entire creative outlet.

The G37 has seen multiple phases — from simple street mods to full-body restoration after an unfortunate run-in with a deer. It’s not just a car, it’s the origin story.

Sponsors:

  • Z1 Motorsports – Sponsorship of exterior body parts used during the rebuild.

  • Seibon Carbon – Partial Sponsored the carbon fiber hood and fenders that gave the G its new face.

  • JDS Automotive – Discounted bodywork and paint, helping bring the car back cleaner than ever.
