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.

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 :)

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.

this video makes me so sad to watch given that young and already in bad health and finance. can technically afford a datsun, but most of the time they are all rusted out and broken down. i doubt i will ever have the time or money to own or restore one.

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.

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.

Mr Fong ,I can see why you like this. But it's time to Face Book: Datsun Z Cars for sale. And bring one home. You can still buy on in the USA cheap enough to ship home. In 2020 they have gone up so much in value. More than anybody's Stock portfolio or Bank accounts. Look at "Bring a Trailer .com" and see what they have been selling for. It will SHOCK you. Then look at Datsun Z for sale on face book and see cars that need attention. For under $5000. It's time it's 2020. And since Dec 21 2020 Is the End of 25,000 yrs of Negative Darkness. And into 25,000 years of Positive Light. The time has come. Have a great day, I'm building 2 Datsun Z resto mods. I can not tell you how many times I watch you Datsun Z video. Twice last night before sleep and 3 times this morning during coffee...for an example .....

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 !
