600hp - Dream Projects - RB260Z - 240z

[@jamimo5112]

9999/10 this is an absolute masterpiece. I love how you kept a 6 cyl Nissan engine rather than dropping in a small block like almost everyone else, and you still make 600 hp. my god, this is totally gorgeous. its perfect

[@fbilley3957]

Insane, I have owned 3 in the past and now drive a 91 NSX, what you have accomplished is very special.

[@Shaolin0871]

I love watching videos of people that have built their dream cars. Motivates me to keep on and keep learning.

[@michaeljones3727]

I own a 1976 280Z and I love driving it! even though it's an automatic, it is a treasure.

[@davehuckleberry9869]

I had a 1974 Datsun 260z that i raced in C class production in the 1970's. Then we were able to get the HP up to 300 and, in that era long ago, it was the quickest car around. I could hit 165 mph. I miss that car. I love your car. Well done!

[@diegoleon9168]

Congrats you're Datsun looks super clean I wish I could get a Datsun one day

[@surf403]

AWESOME !! How can you not love this guy!? He is a true car guy through and through!! I wouldn't change a thing in that Z either!!

[@subarublue2658]

Bad ass Datsun dude. My father built a datsun roadster 2000, with a turbod sr20 in it.

[@tscooter22]

I was just thinking, I don't think they ever used the Datsun name overseas. I think the US market changed from Datsun to Nissan around 1985. The same year it changed, Nissan finally figured out how to build a car that doesn't rust in 5 years. They were horrible back in the 70s. Ah... the joys of snow and salt. Salt in particular.

[@subarublue2658]

They used the name Datsun in America, and the reason was because Nissan sounded to close to a slang word the Americans used for the jananese during WW2.

[@Joe11Blue]

Nips or Nipponese is not a slang word. It's the name of the Japanese from the southern and western region of the island chain. The Datsun name was used, because they did not want to tarnish the Nissan name in the US in case the brand failed.

[@captainyanyan2117]

I own a 1969 Datsun Roadster that’s also a sr swap it’s non turbo’d and drives like a dream she just guides around like an absolute dream.I can’t ever imagine selling that rolling price of steel on wheels that makes me happy

[@ImThinking3]

Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage If you're rocking a V8, you should've gone with a vh45de swap (assuming you probably LS1 swapped it). My $0.02.

what kind of modifications did you have to make to get A v8 to fit in there?

[@codyoffgrid]

240z cars were from 1970 to 73 and the ONLY year the 260z was made in 1974. In 1975 the first 280z was made and went to 78. 1979 was first 280zx all redesigned with a longer front to help stabilize the z cars at high speeds. The early z's would start to have a floating feel at high speeds. I have owned a z all my life and build them and currently own half a dozen. 72 240z was my first car and I still have it. I have a 79 280zx w 8k original miles and 2 83 280zxt's along with a 90 z32 300zx and a 91 300zx tt. My tbucket has a r32 skyline rb26 powering it so yeah I love the old Nissan's lol

[@TigerRogers0660]

Here in Australia we had the 240Z from '70 to '73. The 260Z & 260Z 2+2 from '74 to '77. The 280ZX from '78 onwards. We never got the 208Z. Also right from the start (1970) we had 5 speed manual gearboxes. I owned a '73 orange (kalahari tan) 240Z from 1980 - 1996. Tiger.

[@apollo6139]

@@TigerRogers0660 interesting! I double took aswell when he said 1975 260z.

[@reubenhudson3086]

holy crap man this is my number one dream car and the way you've hand restored yours and built it to respect the original is beautiful props to you man i hope it never sees a bad day on the road

[@notrut]

Wow, the Engine Guy drove 2'000 clicks ... then 2'000 home again. What a star ....

[@vincentseholm5209]

I had a 76 280Z 2+2. The longer roof to accommodate the rear seat was the only thing I disliked about my 2+2. Been longing for another Z for awhile. Seeing how well yours presents only makes me long all the more. Super clean. Gobs of power. Classic Z car lines. What’s not to love? Well done!

[@Garymayes24]

love your car brother. had a 240z in the 80's and wish I still had it. I could look at ur 260 all day long. stunning. without doubt my favourite car. well done.

[@Whether-Man]

What a beaut. I have the 1974 260z but its not a right hand drive like yours. So clean. I'm just waiting on when im financially able to build it to where i want it. Im also thinking of swapping in the RB. Ill have my fun with the engine it has now though heh.

[@Datsun510zen]

Awesome Z. Shows a lot of class to keep it looking fairly stock, and you obviously took the time to do the RB swap right. Good on ya Mate!

[@zmanoside]

I almost lost my lunch when you popped the hood. My lord what a car!

That is sweet. I have a stock 280z with origiona racing greenl paint and 28k mile in mid Atlantic states. I'm trying my damnest to keep it stock but some origional stuff had to go (radiator,efi) just for performance. You did justice to her. Nice

[@TheMezzy712]

The only thing this needs is more tyres. The finish is superb. Could tell straight away the build was a passionate experience.

[@leloodallasmultipass]

I agree. cars like this should be riding at least six wheels, not four.

[@steveneverett5175]

Where did you get those gauges, I love them

[@SimonWorlds]

I would prefer an LS3 600HP version of this, but this is still very nice, I would just prefer the weight reduction of the LS over RB these days as I like circuit driving and always look for weight balance in a car.

[@barthoharmse112]

Ls3 crate motor is lighter than RB, but fully dressed they weight almost exactly the same depending on the setup, regardless the RB does the datsun more respect tradisionally, though as a powerhouse ofcourse nothing beats a V8

[@SimonWorlds]

Bartho Harmse I think you need to check your weights again, i can tell you from looking at both on a set of scales (fully dressed with alt, manifolds, turbos for the Rb etc, that there is an 87kg difference in favour to the LS3.

[@SimonWorlds]

Bartho Harmse yes I do agree that the Rb lends itself to being more original and fitting, it should always be an inline 6 if it is to remain close to its heritage.

[@yewtubez]

its technically not allowed here as well. but 99% cops will turn a blind eye unless you do something stupid.

[@alexanderwingeskog758]

fatassdork Aah... And I bet the cops are not that plentiful? right? I don't see that much of them here were I live either... but I need to do a "inspection" every year... and wheels outside the "car body" will not let that pass... then my car would not be road worthy... and every cop I'll pass will stop me...

[@normalsalaryman]

in australia where this guy in vid come from it is not allowed having tire wider than the body...especially in VIC(melbourne) and NSW cops is total jack ass....and the rules about modified car also pain in the arse...even for wheel size is limited to 2inch bigger than the stock and the tire speed code also fine able..legaly lowest car is 100mm from ground, even a BOV is restricted,(open filter+BOV) is no no,you have to chose one only out of those 2option lol...i never been to europe but i suppose in US they have more freedom of what can they do with their car...unless you life in some asian country which there are rules about modifyng car BUT the cops is simply dont care, even if you drive200Km/h in 40km zone....BUT the frikin potholes is scatered everywhere thats why they drove so slow lmao...i call them natural speed limit lol..

[@visionmauto]

It's pretty much fine in the US

[@Blabus5]

In Poland wheels wider than body are illegal but you can make the body wider like these black kits attached that make them legal again, I think?
