- I made this video to convince my wife why we should buy a Datsun lol. My mom also owned one most of her life so I think it's only fitting that I one day own one too.
PS: None of these videos are mine, but instead clips from some of my favorite videos I've seen online.

The original Z car was truly a masterpiece. I've been in love with it for over 20 years now. But over time the other Datsuns models have been growing on me and I love pretty much all of them. I was super close to buying a Datsun B210 a few months ago but circumstances forced me to say no. Maybe some day.
Do it. Life is short. its nice to have a garage to work on these cars. I have a 1971 240Z with a twin turbo 5.3 LS engine I'm building. One of the best looking cars in history IMO.
Ryan Merrill why LS..?
Reza Muhammad Real question is why not? More power to the guy but personally id stick with l series motor but hey do whatever makes you happy cheers!
I absolutely hate LS swapped japanese cars... BUT i also love 1JZ/2JZ swapped Camaros or Mustangs so... that makes it ok for me, even if you swap a RB26 there will still be people that will hate it anyway so have fun and do whatever you want to your car ;)
Ryan merrill you should make a video about your 71 240z
Ryan Merrill ls swapping japanese cars is basically a sin
This video almost makes me wanna cry tears of joy had my Datsun for 5 years and it’s finally almost done
My personal favorite car for real, I don't change it for any ferrari or lamborghini.
Great compilation man
Hi Chris My wife and I own a 1975 280Z that we bought in 1981. We are both hopeless 280z addicts. The car needs a body refinish and some other things done. All those things diminish when we are in third gear and hitting 4000 rpm, that is when that 2.8 inline 6 starts to come alive, when you feel the hard pull of the engine, the sounds, and.. that is when we forget the scratches and dings! Chris find one that is not perfect, run it, listen to the Z talk to you. The smile on your face will not go away for a long time. Enjoy the ride!
Jerry ,you are so right my 1981 has some rust and so any other things to work on it,I though it's was y clutch that it it bad,but now that you mention about being in 3rd gear and that 6 in line becomes alive, wow that how I feel, pretty slow 1rs 2nd but 3rd and up amazing car
Jerry lomashewich I want 75 280z 2+2
In there day the Datsun 240Z rivaled the E Type
From memory they stopped importing to Australia due to concerns about smuggling spare parts ?
In the 70’s this was my dream car
Great to see these young guys restoring these legends :)
Chris Fong hello, it's Sept 2020 I'm coming to the end of my two Z car builds both are resto mods.
But I come and rewatch this video Time and time again.You can see all my comments below.
I've come and watched and not left a comment ,like many many others, that watch this vid over and over...!
I'm sure we are all happy to help you any way we can ,find a Z.
Just post in comments, but you should do this.......the prices of project cars are climbing and are starting to get harder to find at a good price.There are how ever still many owners that doubt the value of their car and sell them for less.
Going to watch it again ,working on my Z all day !
You did a tremendous job capturing the modern S30. Thank you for using your talents to capture our passion.
Nice vid! I literally just went out in my garage and gave my 280 a big hug. I've taken a little break form that project but you've just inspired me to get back on it! Great car, hope you get one!
Just started my journey with my 1973 240z. It’s been fun already
The 1st one really is my fav video and the reason i wanna own a Datsun too when I first watched it years ago, but that video was too short so i feel thankful u made a compilation and still used the Timecop1983 - Diemnsions song 🖤
Yoshihiko Matsuo you have no idea what a perfect care you have designed... ;)
and Mr. Katayama who made this dream come true!
my dream car .simply beautiful if only a had the money.
Yep Feb 2022 still one of the best Z videos
Just picked up a 1976 280z and started wrenching as my first experience building a car. Its going great and I cannot wait to hear that tuned l28 sing!
Its an amazing car, I have a 280z 2+2 and it always makes me smile
I got it on the road and am loving my Z!!!Get one now before they get too expensive. Love the music to this vid by the way!!!
Amazing compilation
I had a 260z way back. I have a 280z now. I am keeping this one even though it needs tlc.
Great! Love it. The Art of driving! Classy made.thanks! Our/these cars are passion!
This is why I have a Datsun.. ('76 280Z) Thanks for the awesome video, it keeps me inspired to stay the course with mine.
What an awesome collection
Thank you so much. This never gets old even for a girl. Owned several and still regret letting them go - hindsight 💔
Do It , I own one as a young man . Keep it as is . You will love it as it was made .
I missed some Wangan love, other than that... great footage! I hope you get your Z soon ;)
Im in the market atm and Ive found a racing green 260! Im so exited!
BEAUTIFUL
I love the 240 !!!!
Beautiful cars, only a few cars in this world are magic the Corvette, Mustang, Z etc. I hope you got your dream car brother.
4yrs later I link this to a lot of people with Z cars. Looking for inspiration.
I'm finishing my 2 Z restomods And I "Still watch this video over and over.
June 15 2021
One of the best looking car ever
Great video, no annoying dude trying to explain the car.
love those datsun more than the old classics mustangs.
Nice, I own a stock 72Z under 56,000 miles. There a blast to drive.
I wish my 370Zs Hood opened like the 240Z
haha we've seen all the same videos. It's worth it my dude, get one. I can't stop staring at mine
So so cool lady! Best video.
That red one...man.
*EDIT* And the salmon pink one. WOW!
this is my favorite video on youtube 1000/10
This video is under rated
This is another reason the s30 is my favorite car. It’s unique, it’s got flowing edges. It’s just a good looking car
First car was 240z second was 442, the time of the video, want them both again ! Sweet car!
Started saving up for one last month :)
Fantastic car!
This slowly become my dream car.
yup I have one, it's fun. You should get one.
Damn, nice. Knew it was Timecop1983 right off the bat, too. Personally, I want an '83 280ZX automatic. The perfect mix of style, speed, and comfort. Cobalt blue with matte black louvers. I'll get one some day. For now, it's a boring SUV, but some day.
This is why i want one too
the 240-80z desing is so good imo, that it could still be sold today and thousands would buy it
What bout the Cedric? they looks nice too! also the 280c and the 260c and the 120yy
I've owned them all, 70-96. If your a purist get a 73. If you want a restomod get a 77-78. They are a tad heavier but there are alot of small things that are the best of the S30s. The window mechanisms and tracks are by far the best design. The body is stronger where it counts. They also look like a 240 with easy mods. I'm building a 76 turbo that will look like a 240
It already has the tail lights swaped in. Let the rich guys pay extra for the 240 badge.
Same here.
All I want is a widebody 280z with some uplifting synth blasting through the radio, but not so loud as to drown out the RB25....
the 240z is an awesome looking car I had a mk2 rs 2000 custom but that Datsun is the one
Beautiful car!
Finally, a good car video with some Synthwave and not that stupid hip hop music like the rest!
What bout that L28 6 Cylinder engine? IT SOUNDS SO GOOD which is similar to the RB
I have a 1976 280Z which I fully intend to restore to it's past glory.
Hi, i know pretty late to talk about the clips. Does someone know where the Clip with the yellow car is from? At 2:20 there are new instruments and there is a digital rear mirror.
Thanks in advance.
Such a good video. Im looking to buy one for myself aswell :)
Yep, me as well.
MAGNIFIQUE DATSUN👍👍👍👍👍👍💜
this is porn! I love it so much! 1978 280z owner here.
I have a 1977 datsun 280z, love these cars. You should do some videos of your car. I started a youtube channel for my 280z project
@@passengerswelcome1847 i got a 1981 280zx.
Just bought a 1981 I'm becoming addicted to this car, I love working on it,
I have 1977 280z with triple Weber, original working A/C, with tan color interior/ BMW blue color I added little metallic to the paint, every things in the car from electrical to mechanically in working good condition including the clock (My TH-cam picture) I've 2 babies my daughter and my Z.
Edit: also I'm looking for Z with twin turbos (RB26,...) left hand drive for sale I will buy it from you. Any one?
Still in my 20s but for me cars don't come better than this. I will definitely own one someday (or hopefully, more than one)
Hi iam one of ctica 30 zdrivers in whole germany.i own a 1970/12 stock s3o with black Rota wheels a burned californian 903 blue paint.
The engine is stock but its an ultimate feeling!!!!!!!!!
Still in Dec 2019 one of the best top Datsun Z inspiration videos.
Did you find a Z yet ?
I don't know everyone's financial situation.. but it's still pretty hard to go wrong with getting a 240 --> 280z or even a 280zx really. Parts are available, once you have it right they're super easy to maintain which was something I always worried about before I bought my '79 280zx (1995 -- 2000)
I wish I had more room, the HOA doesn't allow cars parked on the street. My garage and driveway are full.
Could i have the original video for wallpaper purposes? :)
I am turning 14 soon and I am looking forward to getting my drivers permit. I don't have a specific taste I like cars from any time period. at first I wanted to restore a ford F-100 from 1956 but I realized that IO don't have the recourses to do that. now I want to find a nice Datsun 280ZX that I could restore a little bit and if I need to fix the rust problem because I believe you could fix anything on a car if you do it right and take the time to. I know almost exactly how I want it to look so once I have the ability to do that I would. also my dad had one of these.
enough said....pictures say more than words.....
ok This is by far the best done Z video of all time.I have had this in my favorites,I watch it at least a few times a week while I build my Z cars .It is absolutely the most inspiring video out there.
I wish TH-cam gathers up another good batch of Z cars to make video 2.You can tell ,the love, of this car ,thru,the video. Maybe this person shouldn't get a Z so his desire is still this deep to make at least 3 videos of first series Z cars.
I'll help you find one. I found two a 240 ( I'm building for my step daughter) and a 78 280z ( my car ),resto modded to as close to the weight of a 240 z ,with 240 tail lights and front turn signals,every thing on the 280 chassis the 240 doesn't have is being removed.
Both cars running mild modded L28 ,both twin carbed , headers one with turbo one with custom twice pipes.Lowered ,2" flares
15"X7" Steelie wheels.
proper everyday drivers.
MindDezign thank you! Im glad to hear someone so passionate about these cars. Ill get one some day.
Chris Fong hell I'll help you.
I restored sports cars as a business.For 20 years.In the North East in New England.
The best way to obtain one is to join as many Datsun Z clubs you can as local as you can.
No you don't need a car.
The idea is you will meet people as passionate as you are over the Z.
Most people in a car club have at least 3-5 Datsun Z.They either don't see ever having the time or money to finish that second ,third or fourth car.Our their wife wants it gone. But they ,will not just sell it. But they will sell it at a very very very low price to you.If they can see you love the car as most as they Do....they are happy to see it go to another "enthusiast.
This is why I own a 73 240z !
I’m only 15 but my dream is to have a 240z with an rb25 or rb26 motor, hopefully pushing 500hp
wow i wish i still have mine...my dumb ass got rid of it back in 1995..now their worth so much!!!!!and so cool.....
Me too, bud
I have to get my 72 back on the road !!!!
If you do film it that would be entertaining to watch. I just startes a youtube 280z project. These cars are beautiful
Did you get one?
*Also, great music.
I'm very love Z
Well Mr Fong have you joined all the Datsun Z face book groups yet and all the Datsun Z related .
Chris Fong did you go to "Junky Jenny's Z parts " and but a Datsun Z project car yet ???
Look her up on face book or the web. She has complete cars that need love. The best way to buy a car that is increasing in value every year
TRÈS BELLE RÉUSSITE 💜
Own a Nissan 370z cause I grew up around Datsuns
👌 ☺
Z not available in my country. I am a datsun go owner. Love the z.
Had mine for over a year and still can’t decide what color to paint it
Yellow, always yellow.
👍

The early Z cars are some of the most beautifully proportioned vehicles ever built. They’re kinda like a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO except about $39,000,000.00 less. Just think of the restoration and mods you could do to a Z with 39 million dollars!
Akuma no zetto!
Just started a youtube 1977 datsun 280z project car. These cars are so awesome!
My mom inherited my great grandpas 77’ Datsun 280Z 2+2 and I’ve been trying to get her to let me help her fix it up and try to convince her to give it to me cuz she’s doing nothing with it.
i wish i have money to build one too
Did you end up buying a 240 or 280?
Ok so I have a red 240z with a pandem kit. I plan on getting aftermarket wheels (watanabe rs) but I don’t know if I want to get powdered/painted chrome or gun metal grey. I wouldn’t mind some opinions on the matter if y’all wanna suggest what route I should go.
Dont think so much about wheels,think about the engine🌞
@@martinweber5520 don’t think I’m not thinking about the engine, think about minding your own business and not telling me how to build my car 🤡
Nobody should tell you how to build your Car including rims..,...think about it🙄its your own preference👍👍Tell me a a Bit of the Specs of your Z
Mine is from california(San Jose) bought in the netherlands in 2016
@@martinweber5520 I was just asking for some suggestions I’m on stock fitment right now lol I’m an aesthetics guy so I just wanted some outside opinions. It has a 2jz ge from my uncles ls300 because he swapped the engine out of his so I took the jz, and I have yet to take it to the dyno so idk too many specs tbh.
2jz in a Z should be hard to handle.perhaps you give me some Input while driving this Rocket for example with a Video! Iam very much looking Forward 🙃
5yrs later,did you buy one?
they never should have given up on the first series, porch did not stop on the 911,,
my 75 280 says hello.
so do you have your own fairlady by now?
what's the title of this song?
Whoops sorry about that. It's Music:

I need to put that in the description. Thanks for me reminding me.
Did you end up getting a Datsun?
Whoa, thanks for the car porn, man. Makes my heart race.
Hi People.......ähm u definiately need no music when driving an old Z. :) BANG ON
