Is it finally time to do the Skoda Felicia redesign? Please! Its my most beloved car!
I really like this. The headlight housing could use some chamfers so they don't look stuck on.
agreed. He also needs to work on that grille. it just looks tacked on there.
Yuss so true
It’s very flat too
The 300ZX in your comparison photos is the 2+2, the two seater had a shorter wheelbase, affecting the proportions.
Agree
hate 2+2
I love the 2+2 I own one never liked the short 2 seater I'd rather put the twin turbo and manual transmission in the 2+2
2+2’s have always looked infinitely worse than the 2 seater. It’s a shame he didn’t notice
Correction: the Diablo had the 300zx headlights.
I've owned three 300zx's; I'll never forget driving down the road and a little kid yelling "Nice Lamborghini!" at me as I passed by. This was in 2014, nearly 20 years since the last one rolled off the production line. Such a timeless design.
Your redesign looks very much like what I would expect it to look like today. You have some serious skills! But Nissan got it just right back in the 90s; the original design was flawless.
i have four ,300zx tt europe spec. Best looking car of 90
yeah was gonna say the same thing about the headlights. thats funny about the compliments though.
@@FROST20091978 It's in my top 3 90s cars for sure, along with the NSX and the 360 Modena
Yeah it was kinda annoying that he kept comparing them to the Diablo, it's a know fact that you take the headlights off the Diablo and they will say Nissan on them
This is awesome. You should go back and redo more cars you did back in the day so we can really see how your style has evolved
Absolutely! I would love another 350z redesign!
This comment needs to be pinned! :D
That really would be a cool idea
The 370 is a good enough looking car when you see one, but wow, looking at the profile compared to the new Z, it looks a bit, well, "fat", for the lack of a better description. The 300 still looks good today on the road, a low and sleek shark among the slab faced massive shoeboxes on wheels all over the roads today. That, and the '93 to '95 era Mazda RX-7 are the high points in Japanese car design, to my eyes. Great video as always!
I was surprised at how fat the 370 looks when compared to the 350. They look so similar, but when put side by side, the difference is pretty stark. It was not the best evolution of the Z.
The new Z looks nice, but it's still no 240.
@@BlakeMcCringleberry I agree. I had a Silverstone 350Z with burnt orange interior, and it always got a lot of looks. 240 is a classic. With today's regulations, Unfortunately, I don't think we will see something as elegant as that in today's environment...unless it's a multi-million dollar car from Gordon Murray. :)
The 1989-1996 Z32 was so ahead of its time, there's nothing to change!! own the 1991 version.
Sell me it 😏
I had one ( Z32 TT, 91 ) in 2003 - 2008.
(Sold due moving continents 🤧 )
I haven't driven better car in my life.
Got my 91 still sitting in the garage, She needs abit of a respray and engine rebuild these days, Served me well for the 12 years i had her on the road (320k on the clock)
@@timpollard8501 I just had my 1991 engine rebuilt, all seals, and gaskets replaced, new clutch, timing belt kit, with water pump, spitfire spark plugs, motor mounts and fuel injectors. All parts from Mizuno. Total with $3000. It was worth it!!
@@koden24 $3k is that all, The clutch kit on its own in Austraila is around $1500. I hit a roo with mine doing 120km so have abit of side damage that ill need to be panel beated and resprayed (bloody thing aimed for me and bounced off) Id love to at some point get everything renewed, Maybe buy parts each week and one day take it to a machanic and say here you go mate :)
The 300ZX was my first car in the 90's, some of my fondest memories with that car. And I purchased the 370Z because of those sexy curves, especially those 'hips' in the rear similar to a Porsche.
My favourite forgotten Z! Thank you!
This actually taught me how to design cars, make it look similar and pay homage to the original designs, while also making sure it looks modern and fits the manufacturers style
LOVE the design. I think the perspective on the headlights is a little wonky though
Oh wow. I like it a lot, much better than the first redesign
I think you finished with a pretty good update on the Pontiac Grand Prix.
I always had a sweet spot for 300z’s and as much as I like the new Z coming, I would totally buy your redesign over that in a heartbeat. Excellent work!
Killed it. What would have been better housing headlights IMO would have been '05 NSX headlights then the LED design in them off the frontier but either way, cool redesign.
When the 300ZXTT went on sale, I instantly wanted one. I think it was because my mom owned a 1985 Nissan Maxima and I loved it.
Turbo power sounded like magic back then, twin turbo was just that much more magical. I was 5 years old.
When I was 14, I read about how turbo power works in an issue of Sport Compact Car. It was about how to get 450HP from a 300ZXTT. I also saw the R34 GT-R prototype and loved the look of it.
I didn't even remember the Z31 300ZXT it was too bland for me to remember. It looked too much like all the other pixelated cars of the time.
I saw the new Z as combining the best of the S30 and Z32. Several years ago, I thought there would never be a Nissan Turbo Z. I was so thrilled to see it.
When the 2009 Maxima was at an auto show, I instantly fell in love with the look. When I heard the guy behind the R34 styled it, I just thought "Wow, it explains everything!"
this man is UNSTOPPABLE
I think an important thing to note is that the 300zx that you used in the redesign is a 2+2 or the model with back seats meaning the wheelbase is extended and the whole body of the car looks stretched out and much more bulbous, IMO the 2 seater is much more sporty and "Z car", I feel like it would produce a better end result
I prefer the 2+2 so i have no problem with it
The 350 was my dream car growing up, so I got the 370z and love it ☺️
Fun Fact. Diablo took the headlights from the 300. Nissan already did the research and development. If you are a Diablo owner, pop some trim, you'll see Nissan stamped on them
Honestly, I love this redesign, I would buy this car.
Instead of taking the old car and taking Design elements from newer models, you should take newer models and redesigning the elements to look retro.
In that case you would have modern proportions with nostalgic character like with the 400z
Genuinely cool idea
one of your best redesigns in my opinion
This should’ve been the design of the new 400z
Way to go nissan
Really enjoyed the evolution of body lines over the generations, great commentary and skilled eye. Thank you for sharing!
I bet if you tried this with the 2+0 instead of the 2+2, you may see huge difference in how the rear end talks to you. Wouldn’t look nearly as sedan-y.
The old 300zx : W I D E smile
The redesign : You wot?
Fantastic 😆 I used to own a silver 1991 300ZX Twin Turbo 😊 I miss that car 🥺 and the 1985 200SX (coupe)
I think it is a great car but the headlights are a bit like stickers or something not an actual one
but overall it's so cool 🔥🔥
Pre satisfying to watch it get slowly transformed and the end result is👌
Sadly a totally underrated car
Wow that's super clean
I had a 1984 50th anniversary 300zx and loved that car.
Could you redesign the 1995 Mazda MX-6? It was a good looking car when it first came out and isn’t super known.
The 300zx design was arguably way ahead of its time back in 1994
This episode made me a follower I use to own a 1984 300zx 2+2 with a bolt on turbo kit love Z’s
Love the upswing at the rear of my Z31
That turned out AMAZING! I would minor critique; for likev2 seconds when you had the roof all black, looked really cool. Appears to be the modern trend too. Otherwise AWESOME JOB!!! ✌🏾🖤✊🏾
Your best redesign ever
You got all nailed except front
Kinda looks like a saturn sl-1 from the mid 90’s in the front. That being said you do amazing work and I could only dream to have half the skills you do!
I love all of your videos. I would like to see a 68-69 c3 Corvette convertible wide body with a nice flowing air damn, side skirts with exhaust and a speed tail.
I like it, it looks just like the 300zx rather then looking like some unrecognizable.
The Z32 was made in 2 different wheelbases. The more natural looking 2+0 coupe and the slightly elongated 2+2 coupe. The 2+0 looks way better, but the 2+2 allowed the front seats to slide back further, allowing for a taller driver.
The 300z was always a car that looked more sporty and distinctive but some how you managed to retain that distinctiveness and add a little more aggression to the look ... honestly you should get hired by Nissan to design future electric cars .. it may not be loud but it looks beastly
I like it. I think the headlights need a little bit more thought.
Also, what about taillights?
Very interesting approach, although I'm not sure about the rear, I still think it looks amazing. I'd love to see you redesigning Toyota Corolla AE-86 Trueno (hatchback), both front and back. I think that it is a very iconic car, it had pop-up headlights which would be a challenge to be redesigned up to today's safety standards and its overall shape would surely be an interesting canvas (including tail lights). The fact that you do very clean designs is another plus in this case. I hope that one day I'll see that on your channel! 😃
Wow I like what you did with it.
Some interesting elements, but that C-pillar lacks the impact of the 240, 300 or 400z-like it tried to combine a bit of everything. Never liked how inboard the 300zx headlights felt, the narrowness here too makes it less aggressive (as some said a Saturn)
Z32 is not an agressive car and shouldn’t be. It’s a gt cruiser . Not all cars have to be agressive. The z32 follows the less is more rule quite well
Ayo that's sick!🔥
Dude holy shit! The car looks so good :o
This is absolutely amazing I wish I knew how to do this🤯
Loving this redesign oh the Nissan 300zx you started putting vents in the hood then backed off , l think you should've kept then in , the hood is vast enough to take them . The rear treatment works great 👍 👌 😀
That's a nice 300 Zed!
"I dont like this spoiler, im just gonna do a clean cut here." Well yeah you dont like it from design perspective but it was put there by engineers ultimatively.
Phenomenal job and seem like it’ll have a nice wide stance..!
I like the 300ZX is one of the best design from the 90S but I love the 350Z that design is one of the most complete well executed in car design the line flows through and connects and makes the car so beautiful ! I have so much appreciation for the art work in this car that I buy two of them one coupe and one convertible! I still say that the 350Z is one of the best design in Japanese auto industry!
It is a cool car. What threw me off was the weird low window lines
I like everything about this redesign
But the headlights
Man you know no company would do lines that sharp nowadays sadly
Interesting that you have that black triangle in the corner of the side window near the A-pillar, that triangle is usually used to hold the side-mirrors, but on your design, the side mirror is bolted straight to the door, the triangle is therefore useless
Way to go - Looks Great 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️
Finally someone appreciating the 350's design and even preferring it to the 370's, as I do. That being said, this z32 redesign has an Audi rear and generic uninspired headlights. The original ones were special enough for Lamborgini, mind you. Should have gone in that direction imho.
Overall, I really like what you did. Two things I think could be better: I think a more simplified graffical treatment between the wheels instead of the two wedges facing each other would work better. Also, I don't think the dual LED lights(top and bottom strips) are working.
Actually I have to correct you on your comment about saying the Z 32 had the Diablo headlights in fact the designer of the Diablo contacted Datsun and asked permission to use the 300ZX otherwise known as the Z 32 headlights on their Diablo model. So in reality your phrase should’ve said the 300ZX headlights that Lamborghini requested to apply to the Diablo design. Other than that I love all your videos keep up the great work.
Looks like a modern Saturn.
Please submit this to nissan. This needs to be reborn in this design. Kinda saturn'esk but still amazing.
You should redesign the CTS-V as a modern Buick GNX
Very beautifullll !
Can you try to redesign the RX8 to make it look more modern?
My ALL TIME FAV CAR!! 300zx
Reminds me more of the 180sx with how straight the hoodline is.
I really enjoy your videos. Awesome content!!!
fuck, we should've had this guy design all the new JDM cars
Something like this with 500 hp v6 twin turbo would be sick. Love the the design tho. 🔥🔥🔥
I really would love to see a new Z or a 300zx with the classic “ice scooper” headlights.
I love it and as a fanatic of the 300zx you did a nice job on the redesign. A couple of things are bugging me ( rear valance proportion and the side mirrors being a couple) . Still a Nissan I would consider buying g
Awesome work
3:36………You can see the lines get sharper over the different decades for sure.
this is well done 👏
It'd be cool to see a design for a new Z/28 camaro and what it could look like. Cool videos though, you have some really good designs.
Disappointed that you’re using the 2+2 Z32
It doesn't have the Diablo headlights, the Diablo has 300zx headlights. They are actually Nissan parts in the diablo with a little cover to cover the Nissan logo...
Like your artistic touch. Could you PLEASE do a 85' SS not being so round and atrocious? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Huge Nissan fan and I used to own a 300ZX. Redesign looks a little too heavy like it is a luxury coupe. Headlights should extend downwards to the tip of the bumper.
agreed! the 240 (and 350) is the best looking of the Z's imo. ahahah gotta correct u though. the 300z does not have Diablo headlights. the Diablo has 300Z headlights lol speaking of 300. i miss targa tops/glass topped cars. they're perfect cuz u get open top without being fully exposed feeling. & they're sexy
Here's a challenge. Make a 1972 Cadillac deville look more modern, yet nice as well. I'm talking the 4 door caddy, not the coupe. That would be eas, and I don't want easy, I want to get your brain going good for that one .
As a kid I loved the Datson 280z style and always undecided about the plastic head light covers you could get for them. The Nissan z31 had a great look which sadly got lost in every redesign the KITT image disappeared & the Logan's run look took hold with the z32 twin turbo 300zx nice but not the same car. Unfortunately here on parting of classic followers & people looking for that nippy moden plastic car look took over. Sorry for upsetting anyone as these cars do create a passion in people's hearts. Interesting look for an electric z 300 at the end. & No I don't think a Ford probe was not a replacement for the capri.
That's a cool Tesla you got there
Got the shape right
Thats dope‼️
I love this redesign,but I still personally prefer the original
I’d love to see your take on an evolution of the 458. Ferrari made the f8 and the 488, would be awesome to see your take on another 458 🤝🤝
Have you designed your own car yet?
You have really good taste
Looks like what a 2 door panamera would turn out to be.
Looks amazing, however, I wish you would have started with the more attractive 2 seat Z32 over the chosen 2+2 model. Was always my favorite Z, especially the Twin Turbo.
I always liked the 2+2 better, it goes longer and the proportions are better IMO, especially lowered with a stock spoiler.
AWESOME
I LOVE IT
The BMW I8 reminds me a lot of the 300ZX.
What program you using for doing these edits?
No sir! You have the Z32 headlights. The, Diablo, had the Z32’s headlights.
