Datsun 260Z first start after rebuild 720p

[@overthetopblues]

They are a lot of fun to work on and so responsive! I'm glad you have one as well. Thanks for checking mine out, and for the kind words much appreciated!

[@overthetopblues]

That's awesome you remembered riding along with your dad in his 260z!! Great memories for you! Thanks for watching my vid!!

[@shaunmcinnis1076]

Great vid.So much fun watching them come back to life,like it's being reborn..haha I remember my first 240z almost 30 years ago,rebuilding the motor and restoring it brings back memories for sure. I still have one today,great cars .thanks for sharing.

[@B00ZEBAR0N]

Nice job - Was my first car in 1980 - rebuilt from the ground up - Just watching you all inside the engine bay (harnesses / horns / cam spring) brought back allot of bitter sweet memories - The dual/twin carbs were a bugger to keep synced - Could see that on first firing :) (some things, never change eh) ... Wish I'd hung onto mine now - Had the same alloy mags - but was silver - May have to find another to rebuild now - lol - Enjoy!

[@SitDownAndTakeNotes]

Awesome car man. I just bought my 1974 260z the other day all original with 59k miles. Can't wait to get rid of the rust and drive it man.

[@overthetopblues]

Awesome man! All the best on the project, they are such sweet cars!

[@synthpro]

Absolutely beautiful 260Z! It always thrills me to the the L26 going back in cars this nice, I did inside when I see a restored Z with a V8 swap. I just rescued a 280z from a junk yard and getting it back in running condition, it will eventually get a restore.

[@overthetopblues]

Nice!! All the best with the 280z..another great car! Also thanks for the comment. :)

[@joshrazo2355]

Nice to see a BC Z on KZbin! Beautiful car man.

[@saab93la]

I had a 77 280z same dark blue color,black 16 inch rims Nitto tires i regret selling it back in 1984,good job dude.

[@overthetopblues]

Thanks for the comment!..dude, your 280Z sounds like it was sick!

[@saab93la]

+overthetopblues Thanks bro as I said I miss mine 235 60 16 tires and 400 watt Fosgate amp sound system with 12 inch Fosgate sub and 4 pairs of 2 wayCanton German made speakers it rocked and these is back in late 80s ,Good job enjoy it and have fun

[@tjstevens001]

Always liked those 260s!

[@pavettto]

God damn that car is cool. My father used to have one of these before I was born. He told it was loud and everyone wanted to race him because of that.. I couldn't imagine it was that loud. And cool.

[@overthetopblues]

You have a cool father, and yes they do attract a lot of attention..very fun car to drive! Thanks for the kind comment and for watching my video! :-)

[@pavettto]

No, thank you! I really enjoyed seeing this video. I was always so curious how the car was like.

[@overthetopblues]

Thank you...my Son and I are enjoying the Datsun...quite a car!

[@LucasRea-49]

I have owned five 240's and the mechanical noise from the valvetrain sounds fairly normal for a new engine start up. Nice video.

[@julienfranceschi8041]

I have got a 2+2 of 77 and i looove yours! Very very clean an a good choose for the color ;)

[@chrisbarnes8867]

Watching this reminds me of regretting selling mine. Great car.

[@overthetopblues]

Well, now you can buy mine!! :)

[@DannebergAcres]

AWESOME!!!!!! Loved the stop-motion and music!!

[@overthetopblues]

I didn't have to do anything to the body...however you could check with the Z Club of BC, thats probably a good place to start! Good luck, and thanks for watching my video! :-)

[@NA_NA1915]

The engine sounds beautiful

[@overthetopblues]

Thanks mate! :)

[@overthetopblues]

It's the stock L26 with a E88 head, old set of carbs from a 1970 240z. Thanks for watching my vid !

[@1978TransAmOwner]

Hey this is a beautiful car. Would u happen to know if it is a early 260z or late 260z

[@overthetopblues]

Best of luck on the trade, these old Datsun Z's are awesome cars!

[@overthetopblues]

Thanks they are a blast to drive and to work on...i hope you find a good one! :)

[@overthetopblues]

Thanks for the kind comment..and all the best on your wife's 260z! :-)

[@loosecompass939]

Clean 260z! Love your car great job.

[@overthetopblues]

Thanks man!

[@brd64021]

clean z man i am gettin ready to start on my 1983 280zx gl next week

[@1978TransAmOwner]

No problem, I have a late 260z I plan to fully restore

[@vl780]

Hi there, just wanna know where do you get your 260z body restored in BC?

[@tomaszmk]

damn - what a beauty !!! , well done man, well done ;)

[@overthetopblues]

Thanks bro!!!

[@overthetopblues]

Yes it is an early 260z...thanks for the kind comment!

[@peterlakers1]

love both videos, i'm working on my wife 260z

[@glwdubbs]

Awesome car man think I may take the tarp of mine in the back yard unfortunately not nearly as clean as yours.

[@fifteenbyfive]

Runs smooth; nice job fellas

[@overthetopblues]

Thank you! Do you have a Z ?

[@fifteenbyfive]

Yes a 280Z built in 11/75 ;) They're real head turners, almost timeless classic design. People approach me everywhere I go to talk about my car. I see people next to me at red lights taking pictures. People honking at me as they pass by. A brand new Mustang can't do that; it's pretty incredible really. A few tips from my own xp: Be careful with carbon build up from "short tripping". Use a fuel additive like Gumout full time. Have you tried NGK V-power plugs?

[@overthetopblues]

Sounds like you have a awesome Z and they do turn heads for sure! Yes I do use a fuel additive, no to the V power plugs. I'll try them next season! Thanks for the comment and for watching my video! :-)

[@Geordo1960]

Georgeous car!

[@melmarabrajano]

hey where did you get your motor rebuilt ? im restoring a 280z so please get back at me

[@BRENDAJASON1]

Thanks, one you have is very nice super classic

[@Thelacho7]

How much did the engine cost you? $

[@nialv22]

How much does an engine rebuild like that cost, if you don't mind me asking? Awesome car!

[@overthetopblues]

Nick Alvarez Thanks for the kind words! I will say that the cost of rebuilding this Z, was far outweighed by the absolute thrill when she fired for the first time! :)

[@l1ndam1ll3r]

WOWIEEEE!!!!! What a great video!!!!! What a great car!!!! What a great job!!!! What a great life!!!! Thank you for sharing. The boys are going to die when they see it!!! AYE MAY ZING!!!!!!!

[@ExoticSoundz]

What engine is that?

[@overthetopblues]

Thank you for the comment!

[@overthetopblues]

Thanks, I'm not sure if Vince Neil had one! I haven't checked for Hp yet..so not sure!! :-)

[@Marvin5554]

I fell in love with your Z haha

[@OKeefe73]

Does the car still have a choke lever?

[@overthetopblues]

Yes, it does!

[@henrik-josefsson]

great job, brillant car, thumb up

[@overthetopblues]

+Heiz Ber thanks for watching and the positive comments..much appreciated! :)

[@timothyandrus4231]

ghd g😰😱😨😵

[@onepiece321890]

What size wheels and tires did you have on her?

[@overthetopblues]

They were the stock 14' wheels, tires were 195/70R14

[@onepiece321890]

They look really good for stock wheels. I have steelies on mine, 14" as well. Hope to get her going good this few weeks!

[@alexanderwillems3361]

Hey I could buy a 74 260z for $800... motor is running and but the body has some rust with no paint. Think it would be worth it?

[@Immad1337]

A month later, but I hope you bought it.

[@overthetopblues]

Sorry, I missed your post! If you like getting dirty, if you like spending countless hours dreaming and working on a classic piece of art, and if you love the way that Z makes you feel when you look at it...then yes I would say buy it, and never look back!!! :-)

[@overthetopblues]

At 3;25 I added fuel to the float bowls, that's how she fired!!

[@overthetopblues]

Thanks Ed! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!! :-)

[@davidgaddy4328]

Nice car great video

[@BRENDAJASON1]

Yep had one just like it except a 280

[@overthetopblues]

Nice!

[@overthetopblues]

Thank you!! How kind you are!!! :)

[@overthetopblues]

Thanks!! Get the tarp off and go for it...great cars!

[@clarencedeberry108]

Beautiful

[@acidicyoda907]

What kind of exhaust is that?

[@overthetopblues]

6 to 2 headers with a twin tip of some unknown make..came with the car! Than I changed it to a 3' Magnaflow turbo, which was deeper and more ominous! ;))

[@acidicyoda907]

overthetopblues Yeah, it sounds much deeper than most Datsun 240/260/280s, thanks for the info!

[@edcain3676]

overthetopblues : the Original Twin Tip Exh.Looked Like An ANSA Like I Had on My Rear Wheel drive Maxima.U Going to Keep it or Sell It ?& On Rebuild,Was Orig.Hitachi Carbs Left on it or Switched Out to SU' s.Hitachi' s Were A Bad Choice by Nissan,Hard to Keep Tuned.

[@overthetopblues]

Thanks!!! Fun car's thats for sure!

[@shakotanZ]

[@teamcanada76]
