We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to speak with Matsuo-san several times over the past many years, and he was a very passionate and fascinating designer. When Mr. K and Matsuo-san began working on the Z project in the 1960's, they were quite literally making automotive history and they paved the path for the Japanese sports car in America. It's unfortunate that they aren't here with us today to see the newest generation Z. Side note: as mentioned Matsuo was adamant about not changing the roofline to accommodate taller drivers. Instead, the floor of the car was lowered to add another inch (or so) of clearance.
Best to introduce a new car that people will look after and drive safer. Rather than a cheap beater that gets beat on by careless drivers simple thats why there was no cheap TVRs poor people cant afford to buy or fix them. Market targeting in its finest while copying the best lol
The engine was very heavy , under powered, but good news the 350 chevy with monza manifold (left side) fits like it was made for it , and the rear axle on the 260z & 280z is strong enuf , yet the whole swap only adds 100 lbs to the front , tremendous upgrade
I have a wonderful memory of being out on a rural Arkansas highway driving an '89 Mustang GT convertible in the early '90s. A Z pulled in front of me as we left a small town and he took off. We weren't racing, but I decided to keep up with him. I was amazed at how often I had to downshift to keep up with that Z, and how hard I had to push that 5.0L engine. I never looked at Z's the same way again.
I had two Mustang GTs - 1983 and 1986 before I got into a used Z32 1990 300ZX Twin Turbo in 1994. The Z with 300hp was making a lot more horsepower than the 5.0's in either of my GTs and was significantly quicker especially between 80mph and 120mph And in 1989 a Mustang GT had 225 horsepower, so if it was a Twin Turbo he could have dusted you very easily. If it was a the normally aspirated version then it was only making 222 hp so that makes more sense. @One Legged Pigeon - The Z31 was also called a 300ZX, though it only made 200hp for the turbo and base engine only 168hp. I am guessing that the original poster was talking about a Z32.
@@williamlittrell2271 I almost bought a 260z for my first car but my dad talked me out of it because he said I needed a truck. I mean he was right but I still wish I would have bought it anyways
The 240z was what made me fall in love with cars. I didn't know what it was, I didn't know who made it, I wanted it. I love this car so much, and I'm so grateful for its existence. Thanks to the Z team for making my dream car!
Mr.Matsuo was about the nicest person I ever got to meet. The joy he had to see the love we have for our cars and that we still drive them was overwhelming.
My first car was an 81 280zx. It was everything I ever hoped it to be. Restored it and it was so damn fun. Easy to work on, gorgeous to look at, and insanely fun to drive. Thanks for doing this video, it was amazing.
i had an 81 coupe 2-seater GL auto. really good car- i wouldn't want to have to restore one, though. mine was 11 years old, 1-owner, and nice. sold her a long time ago to buy a dime (the car- not a bag of weed)
Yesterday my Nissan dealer tried to get me as a 20 yr old broke college student to finance a 2020 370z 50th anniversary and this is making me wanna go back
Or just get a used Z or G37. It's literally the same motor and transmission . Only issue is the pre 2012 because of the water pump and galley gasket issues.

My brother is z31 obsessed. Makes a living parting them out globally! I've even owned four! Such a great car for such a black sheep. Hold on to it if it is decent!
So glad I've met Mr K and Matsuo-San over the years and have been a part of the Z family for a while. Mr K's life was full of incredible stories from his Datsun Days.. Thanks Donut for making a new video covering it, to share with more people!
That ad was touching. I feel bad for clumsy Carl. He secretly just wants his cousins love and respect. He genuinely enjoys his cousins company and just wants to prove that he's more then people make him out to be. Carl is so wholesome, stay clumsy man never change who you are 😌
Another great video guys, really dig what you're doing. I love my 08 350z, daily drove it several yrs but now mainly just track it. I have beat the ever-loving shit out of mine from when I bought it with 35k miles and now it has over 265k miles, same engine. I plan to buy a new Z, but waiting a yr or two so hopefully any bugs will be worked out. Thank you for the Z, Japan. And thank you, Donut Media, for the always entertaining/informative content, you guys are by far my fav car channel!
I googled "Is there anything more real than engineering" and the first result actually was "NO," but it was some Quora question asking if the only good jobs left are in engineering. Also, what's with that second search result at 12:39, Donut?
I'm a Jazz musician and 1:15 had me in tears. The music is a meme for Jazz players.🤣🤣. Can't wait for the new Z to arrive in my country, if it isn't already here.
not really- there were plenty of issues with the 350's. people who waited for the later 370's ended up with a much better car that didn't eat tires.....
As someone who’s first car was a 1989 mauve notchback 240SX this video got me emotional! What an amazing legacy that helped get SOOO many young car enthusiasts in the USA hooked on JDM cars!
I had a 260Z I got from my dad. It was a blast. My first car was a 280ZX 2+2. Since then I've owned 4 280ZXs. I still have my '82 slick top. Its getting a VH45DETT swap. I'm super excited for the new Z.
I have watched this many times, it's superb. My (bloody old) dad has owned a 260 for as long as I can remember. I showed him this video and he was speechless, just so impressed, and he loved learning so many things he didn't know about his beloved Z car. This has been superbly researched and the presentation is entertaining af, its amazing, thankyou donut media
@@Ameline-Starkman ehh if that zoom zoom car wasnt made another would have been. And u woulda made the same statement bout that car. Its not a model T. No offense but i doubt much would change. Id rather have the datsun 280z far superior build quality
thanks now my 240z value went up just a little bit more and my 1970s nissan hat signed by matsuo just went up in value now that the public knows his name! got to meet him at z fest and I will never forget that super cool dude!
If i remember correctly someone said that Nissan can only make one brand new sports car platform or else they go bankrupt, idk if that's true or no but if it is true then maybe we'll see the new GTR in 2023
I bought a 1971 240z as my first car. Paid $600, drove it maybe 2000km. It ran great but was, like so many of them, rusted through the bottom. It eventually gave way and we retired it to a nice ol wrecker for parts. I will never forget the thrill of drivng it way faster than was safe, tunes cranked!
Great video! As an owner of a z32, I am more than stoked for the new Z. It's what I've been dreaming about for a long time as well. Glad I'm not the only one
“It’s good” 😂😂😂 We need to get an Up To Speed on: -4th Gen F.Body (Camaro and Firebird) And why they don’t get as much love -Jaguar -Cadillac, or at-least the Eldorado -Lincoln -Buick -Mercury -Oldsmobile -Maybach -Lambo LM002 -Checker (the taxi peeps) -DeTomas -Edsel -Maserati -Plymouth Keep up the great work Dude!
This is like me trading a multi tool for a screw driver. One is made for multi purposed utility, the other does one thing unscrew shit. I mean if u dont need the utility of a truck then yeah get rid of it....dont know why u ever got one if ur not using it. But me personally id keep the truck. And save a lil nest egg for a manual 350z as a fun toy, and put the hard miles on the truck. U can upgrade em if u want more go go.
My DaD bought a Datsun 1600 in the early 60's in Hawaii and LOVED it. Then he got married in '65 and drafted in '66. He had to sell it. After his tour of duty, the Z cars came out. He wanted one SO bad, but now he had a family. One kid (me) with another on the way. DaD's hot rod days were over. 😢 He bought a '62 Chevy impala. In the late 70s, one of our neighbors had a 280ZX. DAD practically drooled every time he saw it. He would then take our family out to eat in our '76 Plymouth station wagon. At least we had something in common with Fantasy Island. 😂
@@missioncreekstyle3814 68SSS RHD is the rarest one and only one that has the 219 head , ,the rest have A86, that are factory planned and looks like ^06 and last of that head is the V912 ..
As a past Z owner, my first used Z was a brown 260ZX, only had it a couple of months until I bought my Metalic Orange & Brown, Mamual 5 Speed, 82' 280ZX T-Top...Burgundy, tinted windows, spoilers, wings, Manual 5 speed, T-Tops, 88' 300ZX...Silver 2004' 350Z Manual 6 Speed Convertible. I loved all my Z's. They never gave me any problem, only your typical flat tire and once the 04' over heated on a very hot day. I was going to buy the 380Z but always dreamed of a Corvette Convertible. I'm so happy to have experienced the feel of those cars. They were also very fast. It's a miracle I've never got a speeding ticket, any guy that wanted to race me, I floored it it waved them 👋 BYE. Wished I would have kept my 280ZX, it was the only one that spoke to me 🤣🤣🤣
I love how these videos are funny and cool but an educational af history lesson at the same time. Dudes a teacher and I won’t be late for this class. Thanks man…
So… with lots of research and intense graphic designs from you and your crew, you could have expanded on why Nissan failed to do aftermarket support for the Z- 2nd generation especially. If this vehicle was such an inspirational movement and huge impact on the Japanese car market. Thanks again and cheers
Yall didn't mention how it came over as a Datsun first because Nissan was unsure of how the Z would sell here. Awesome video though as always dude. "I wish I could still eat chili dogs...I'd go to Cinicinnati right now boy!"
*I have been posting comments for 3 years to make a video on 240z, now my life is complete* The only thing this video is missing is a mention of "Wangan Midnight" ;)
My family is such a Nissan fanboy that my dad and my uncle have been through 9 240 and 260z and 2 datson 510s. 1 datson 510 survived that weighs 1900 pounds with 400hp. And 1 260z fully rebuilt with an ls swap( not sure hp). Uncle also had a 300zx in high school that still runs along with a 240sx. In high school my first car was a 350. Gonna keep this streak running
Knew an old guy who used to run a filter on his old F100. He would pull the filter housing off, put in a new toilet paper roll, and run for half a year.
The research and storytelling is obscenely informative and entertaining... As usual. Shout out from the 270, formerly of the 502 and 859...and briefly the 606.
9:41 OH MY FREAKING GOD!!! that truck in the background is a first gen NIssan Junior!!! even more see Mr. K using a shirt and hat that say NIssan Junior I never thought see that in Donut media videos!!
On Mr. K's 100th birthday I sent him a card with a pic of our family's Datsun Fairlady. My mom bought it brand new in 1969 and I still have it today :D
People often tell me, “you know what? If you were taller, chubbier, and funnier, you’d remind me so much of that guy from that car channel” and I’m like, Jay Leno?

The greenscreen spot on James' shirt driving me nuts lol
why tf woild you point that out, now i cant stop looking at it 😭
@@a.hypocrite you welcome fam
Was looking for your comment mate!
His hat also has it.
The 240Z is unironically my favorite car of all time. Its heavy, its underpowered by today's standards, and above all else its god damn beautiful.
That's what an LS swap is for 😆
@@Jimmy2Jacketz i think the perfect swap is the one they did on mighty car mods. keep it nissan at least. LS swaps are boring
As someone who’s first car was a 1989 mauve notchback 240SX this video got me emotional!
What an amazing legacy that helped get SOOO many young car enthusiasts in the USA hooked on JDM cars!
I love stories like this. I am excited for another one of these kinds of videos. Thank you Donut and Phumphrey.
James, Could you say: "Projecto Zeto", with a anime boss character, like Malboro voice?
PLx
Soooo glad they ended up doing it as a hardtop. So beautiful. Ya'll see the concept on the wall of the Z as like a breadvan? Gnarly : )
An editor prolly spent hours just to trace that finger movement for the intro.
I had a 260Z I got from my dad. It was a blast. My first car was a 280ZX 2+2. Since then I've owned 4 280ZXs. I still have my '82 slick top. Its getting a VH45DETT swap. I'm super excited for the new Z.
James the best story teller in game.
“Are u familiar with the concept of foreshadowing???” 😂😂Too funny bro
“SSS! I got venom brother. “
I felt that.
I own a a 1967 Datsun RL411 SSS Bluebird. It's a super cool ride. I had a 411 in high school in the 80s.
His calmness around hippos
370z owners during the intro
" Am I a joke to you?"
-370z owner
I have watched this many times, it's superb. My (bloody old) dad has owned a 260 for as long as I can remember. I showed him this video and he was speechless, just so impressed, and he loved learning so many things he didn't know about his beloved Z car. This has been superbly researched and the presentation is entertaining af, its amazing, thankyou donut media
I’m just happy that it actually happened, think of the history that would’ve been changed

Yes omg need for speed would have just used a porsche 😲🤣😂🤣 lol its like stepping on a butterfly in the prehistoric era. Lmfao!!
@@seanbutler2291 not just that
@@Ameline-Starkman ehh if that zoom zoom car wasnt made another would have been. And u woulda made the same statement bout that car. Its not a model T. No offense but i doubt much would change. Id rather have the datsun 280z far superior build quality
thanks now my 240z value went up just a little bit more and my 1970s nissan hat signed by matsuo just went up in value now that the public knows his name! got to meet him at z fest and I will never forget that super cool dude!
The fact this video isn't called the ConspiraZ is a shame
Illuminati vetoed it.
@@Donut fair
Who ever edits these videos needs an applause 👏 🔥🔥🔥
Yeeah, James knows about the Cincinnati chili cheese coneys! Aaand now I'm homesick.
I've been a Z owner for almost 40yrs, and I learned new facts today from this video- thank you!
i LOVE z CARS, TOO. when we come across one in the junkyard, there's usually something there we want for our 510's.....
The only thing the Z needs is popup and down headlights.
Poop up hed ligkt
Ryan killed the editing this ep, as always
The 240Z is my favourite Nissan/Datsun of all time and will remain so. Still the best looking Nissan ever imo.
Ew no

For me 300ZX Z32 is my favourite Nissan of all time
AAAAAAAgree.
@@mixswist I have a Z32 Slicktop. It's in pristine condition. Love it. I also own a rare SSS 411 like in the video. Fun!
Dude the quality of the content of DM is so freaking awesome !!!! Love from Chile
Cincinnati will still be making chili dogs/coneys when you come back here James.
Great Up To Speed.
Shout out skyline chili!
I would have guessed him to be more of the Dayton type, but yeah...
JAMES YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT HOST TO THE DONUT SERIES. I HOPE YOU MAKE A DECENT PAYCHECK BC YOU CARRY THE CHANNEL IMO
Here’s hoping a new GT-R will follow suit in the midst of the new Z.
I wont mind the next gen gtr keep the same engines and platform but with a mhev and new interior and exterior
Very much agreed
If i remember correctly someone said that Nissan can only make one brand new sports car platform or else they go bankrupt, idk if that's true or no but if it is true then maybe we'll see the new GTR in 2023
It’s gonna be another 10 years before we see a new gtr
it’s at least another 5 years until the next gen GT-R is revealed
I bought a 1971 240z as my first car. Paid $600, drove it maybe 2000km. It ran great but was, like so many of them, rusted through the bottom. It eventually gave way and we retired it to a nice ol wrecker for parts. I will never forget the thrill of drivng it way faster than was safe, tunes cranked!
The new Z is ok looking, I like how they somewhat went back to the old tail-lights but the front is just undesirable
I’ll take the Z front over the new BMW M grille
Used to think the same, but it's grown on me
i do like it because pretty growing up for myself

I disagree, I think the front looks gorgeous because of its simplicity, but that is my opinion
I’ve been a little distant on the vids lately but any vid with an r32 in the background deserves a listen
Great video! As an owner of a z32, I am more than stoked for the new Z. It's what I've been dreaming about for a long time as well. Glad I'm not the only one
Cool, Charlie. I have both a Z32 Slicktop and a RL411 Bluebird SSS, a freakin' rare bird with 94 HP of raw power.
@@missioncreekstyle3814 please- my daihatsu charade 1.3 4-cyl. could SMOKE that thing. Z32's are great cars- that makes up for your 411 brainfart
@@tommurphy4307 I get more thumbs up in the 411 over the Z32. Just saying. :-)
“It’s good” 😂😂😂
We need to get an Up To Speed on:
-4th Gen F.Body (Camaro and Firebird)
And why they don’t get as much love
-Jaguar
-Cadillac, or at-least the Eldorado
-Lincoln
-Buick
-Mercury
-Oldsmobile
-Maybach
-Lambo LM002
-Checker (the taxi peeps)
-DeTomas
-Edsel
-Maserati
-Plymouth
Keep up the great work Dude!
I’m actually debating trading my Tacoma for the new Z. I used to have a g35 and I miss it so much

Do it! You only live once, now or nevee
I mean new Nissans are kinda crap
@@ゴーシュガーキン they never werent shitty. Datsun was wen they were good. The frontier and 370 is the only decent vehicle they make.
This is like me trading a multi tool for a screw driver. One is made for multi purposed utility, the other does one thing unscrew shit. I mean if u dont need the utility of a truck then yeah get rid of it....dont know why u ever got one if ur not using it. But me personally id keep the truck. And save a lil nest egg for a manual 350z as a fun toy, and put the hard miles on the truck. U can upgrade em if u want more go go.
My DaD bought a Datsun 1600 in the early 60's in Hawaii and LOVED it. Then he got married in '65 and drafted in '66. He had to sell it. After his tour of duty, the Z cars came out. He wanted one SO bad, but now he had a family. One kid (me) with another on the way. DaD's hot rod days were over. 😢
He bought a '62 Chevy impala. In the late 70s, one of our neighbors had a 280ZX. DAD practically drooled every time he saw it. He would then take our family out to eat in our '76 Plymouth station wagon.
At least we had something in common with Fantasy Island. 😂
I would love to see up to speed on jaguar
Same
The fighting scenes and conspiracy talk had me cracking up 😂🙌🏼 there’s no better way to learn about cars than with laughter involved!
"SSS. Don't step on me, I've got venom brother." Has to be on a shirt 😤
You mean a frickin Kentucky Cobra Shirt?
As one of the very few SSS owners in the U.S. (they are super rare), I'd buy one in a minute.
Not everything has to be a shirt dayum
When you add a LZ24B into a 510SSS , ,it really does become a Street Screaming Specail . . . .... ah those where the days .. ..
@@missioncreekstyle3814 68SSS RHD is the rarest one and only one that has the 219 head , ,the rest have A86, that are factory planned and looks like ^06 and last of that head is the V912 ..
As a past Z owner, my first used Z was a brown 260ZX, only had it a couple of months until I bought my Metalic Orange & Brown, Mamual 5 Speed, 82' 280ZX T-Top...Burgundy, tinted windows, spoilers, wings, Manual 5 speed, T-Tops, 88' 300ZX...Silver 2004' 350Z Manual 6 Speed Convertible. I loved all my Z's. They never gave me any problem, only your typical flat tire and once the 04' over heated on a very hot day. I was going to buy the 380Z but always dreamed of a Corvette Convertible. I'm so happy to have experienced the feel of those cars. They were also very fast. It's a miracle I've never got a speeding ticket, any guy that wanted to race me, I floored it it waved them 👋 BYE. Wished I would have kept my 280ZX, it was the only one that spoke to me 🤣🤣🤣
Damm you james! I actually paused the video to Google "is there anything more real than engineering " lol
I love how these videos are funny and cool but an educational af history lesson at the same time. Dudes a teacher and I won’t be late for this class. Thanks man…
So… with lots of research and intense graphic designs from you and your crew, you could have expanded on why Nissan failed to do aftermarket support for the Z- 2nd generation especially. If this vehicle was such an inspirational movement and huge impact on the Japanese car market. Thanks again and cheers
My Mom bought a Brand New 280Z in 1977, It was Gold and she selected the Mag Wheels.. She had this 280Z till 1996.. I Loved that car..👍
Day 181 of asking Donut to bring old B2B back
Yall didn't mention how it came over as a Datsun first because Nissan was unsure of how the Z would sell here. Awesome video though as always dude.
"I wish I could still eat chili dogs...I'd go to Cinicinnati right now boy!"
Is it just me, or did you guys change the thumbnail? 😂
They’re desperate for views now
And the title at this time too
*I have been posting comments for 3 years to make a video on 240z, now my life is complete*
The only thing this video is missing is a mention of "Wangan Midnight" ;)
""The Zspiracy." Come on guys, it's not that hard. That's a buff-ass horse headline that you just walked right past.
Why not the "conspira-Z"
My family is such a Nissan fanboy that my dad and my uncle have been through 9 240 and 260z and 2 datson 510s. 1 datson 510 survived that weighs 1900 pounds with 400hp. And 1 260z fully rebuilt with an ls swap( not sure hp). Uncle also had a 300zx in high school that still runs along with a 240sx. In high school my first car was a 350. Gonna keep this streak running
The fact that they used toilet paper as an oil filter is hilarious!
Knew an old guy who used to run a filter on his old F100. He would pull the filter housing off, put in a new toilet paper roll, and run for half a year.
not funny at all- in fact, those are very good filters.
The depth in the intro about clumsy Carl really got to me, you're fucking awesome James 😂
I so miss the days when I would look forward to seeing up2speed every week.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today...
What should I buy?
He has really made a good name for himself
I got sir Ken Metz linfo, how good is he ?
He's Really amazing with an amazing skills he changed my 0.3btc to 2.1btc
WHAT'S APP####👍
The research and storytelling is obscenely informative and entertaining...
As usual.
Shout out from the 270, formerly of the 502 and 859...and briefly the 606.
the 240z will always be my number 1 dream car. such a fairlady
"This is everything you need to know to get up to speed ..."
Love this line.
An '83 Datsun 280 zx was my first car... still LOVE seeing them drive down the road.
9:41 OH MY FREAKING GOD!!! that truck in the background is a first gen NIssan Junior!!! even more see Mr. K using a shirt and hat that say NIssan Junior I never thought see that in Donut media videos!!
On Mr. K's 100th birthday I sent him a card with a pic of our family's Datsun Fairlady. My mom bought it brand new in 1969 and I still have it today :D
People often tell me, “you know what? If you were taller, chubbier, and funnier, you’d remind me so much of that guy from that car channel” and I’m like, Jay Leno? And they throw a double A battery at me and say “NO! The Mo Powa Babeh guy” still clueless I look it up, cool channel almost me, definitely diggin it
16:46 “its good” had me 😂
WE MISS UP TO SPEEEEEEEEEED. Great job, and we love you too Pumps.
This was a superb all-around video!! Thank you You guys make it look easy; it isn't. Bravo!
