Datsun 240Z | Why the Nissan S30 is Still Great

[@-l_gavin_l-]

Definitely one of the best looking cars ever, it aged really well.

[@TheMkarr]

Had a army green one from 72. I always had a girl in the other seat. What a fun car for a kid back then. It had so many cool features & the seats & counsel with the slide ashtray & the manual choke.

[@imVexedBruh]

This channel and Petrolicious are the only car channels i watch, im not even that into cars but these guys make it cool.

[@DownShiftRecords]

As a '72 Datsun 510 wagon owner, I can back up the spark you feel when you drive a Datsun. My neighbor has a '72 240Z that I've recently been wanting to make an offer for because of videos like this. The car sits most of the year and it makes me kinda sad to see that beautiful blue machine stare at the road under an awning for 3/4's of the year. Great video ElectricFederal!

[@breakbeatfanatik]

I'd bet you get that "spark" when driving other classic cars, not just Datsun's. :P

[@JZX_DriftMonkey]

I recently bought a 280zx ( I know, least wanted Z there is. but in the EU, really hard to find a good Z for cheap) And the first time I test drove it.. Man was I in love with it. It ran beautiful...

[@Digitalstar3]

Watched this video as a kid, made me want to own/build one, sadly the prices are getting out of hand here..

[@JonSan73]

I learned to drive stick on my brother's 260Z...... Before I die I will own one myself!!! My brother used to do every stunt you can possibly do with that car. Less say every summer U-joints and a new cluth were installed lol alone with motor mounts. This was back in the late 80s and it was fun leaving cars in the dust.

[@MrDatrod]

Thanks guys. I've never seen my car rolling down the road. I must say you made it look pretty good. Could have been a little longer.

[@jJarrettM16]

Don't forget Jay Leno's Garage :)

[@borneoization]

what's up cus! do you have a video of the beach cruiser?

[@amyasseektruth8246]

3 months later and I'm back... fuck this video gives me goosebumps. This is my next car.

[@TechnoLog14]

Love the music, great cinematography too! Not to mention the car is stunning

[@miguelsalami]

Timeless

[@MistrMcGill]

Perfect. I had 3 examples of the old z cars but they were 2.8s, always wanted the earlier ones because of the less square bumpers. Videos like this keep me amped, great clean car.

[@dsofe4879]

I think I'm going to buy an old rusty 240Z and restore it some day, such a beautiful car.

[@fogtown3027]

[@trevorflanagan4873]

Mines coming along. Hold onto the dream dudes, you can make it happen :)

Great video and editing. Car is the ultimate Q ship as shown on this episode!

[@donaldwhite8253]

Man that thing is nice!! That body style Z was sweet!!

[@GuitarBuilderatbluemoonguitars]

I've had 3 Z's 2 73's and 1 77 with a 5 speed. Wish I hadn't sold the 77. Now i want it back ! Damm-it

[@MightyGreed]

I really do get this guy...

[@Bangkok.eye.automotive]

Excellent video and car. Like the music too!

[@greeneyedby21]

Electric Federal, I love your videos they are always very tastefully done, keep up the good work

[@joelm3954]

I grew up wanting a Z and Celica. Beautiful...

[@ertpecsertpecs]

[@LittleValo]

[@MrAyybee2cold]

[@Thizlamic]

A true OG KILLING THE GAME.

[@daverunner3397]

I had an 83 280 zx loved that car......

[@marcusdesmosaurelius4906]

As a muscle car guy with little love for today's ricer cars, I think the 240/280s are beutiful. Sexy lines with that classic long hood short trunk lid profile. Well done Datsun

[@rt2255]

Was light and handled well for its day

[@warkal868]

Like your style man. Best ride you have!

[@hamlettelmah441]

i've seen some of the concept photos, it's whatever, the OG is always going to be the nicest

[@scootosan]

Sweet machine

[@slash1956]

Had a 72 that was lowered with front spoiler, Pirrelli's, gas shocks and a header with straight line exhaust, roll bar and Recaro seat. Very very fast car. Blew away Vette's, Lotus europa's, Mazda's etc. Flames out the exhaust as you downshifted back into 3rd at 100MPH. Would do well over 155MPH. Sad I do not have it anymore.

[@michaelstephens6283]

Anything else i have a 76 z and am looking for upgrade tips. its completely stock all the way down to the fat bumpers!!!

[@grahamdavis6635]

Nice , but dad is building a 72 , lowered of course , fender flares , lq9 6.0 390 HP 390 torque building it up to 450 , gonna be red , should be done in February for a big carshow and I'm telln you , no one here in Louisville Kentucky is gonna have one there but us

[@daverussell8897]

Classic!!

[@amyasseektruth8246]

still searching for the LOVE button

[@visackchar4390]

Awesome video.

[@angeltabarez7118]

I love datsuns, it's a shame they don't make'em like that anymore.

[@MaxxDoberman]

I've always wanted a 1970 240Z.

[@seinsmeld13]

Very, very nice. I wish I had one.

[@rockykane633]

Sweet ride best years of Nissan

[@iroczjustride4596]

[@THEEJoker]

Amazing video! What's the soundtrack?

[@MacroClouds]

Very awesome Z. One day I'll own one.

[@subtledriver]

Cool Video!

[@griffo5]

Cool center caps and lugs. Where can I get them ?

[@gt40f]

The spikes on the wheel centers are for when you're racing and you want to slide sideways into someone and slash their tires.

[@hitachicordoba]

+Dolan Kang like Speed Racer lol

[@MLoyaMedia]

Fantastic

[@synthetic509]

I love these cars. I tried to buy a couple but couldn't, and passed (regrettably) on my chance to get a complete one needing to be restored for $1500. I agree about not needing the radio and would rather listen to the car. On that note, why is there music playing in this video while you're driving the car? I was bummed out. Lol

[@pit32s]

What a dream,

[@13NinjaTurtle]

[@ERICCDUBSTEP]

Been thinking about buying a Datsun for a while now. Any idea around how much it'd cost to fully restore car to something amazing like this?

[@gustavoechevarria9369]

Eric about 40-80,000 depending on model

[@Pete-z6e]

Eric don’t worry, thinking about it is as far as it will get.

[@murdergorilla4087]

Beautiful example of a z

[@marioandino2111]

[@owens8311]

[@100kiba]

what kind of wheels are the extra ones that were just sitting there? want some for my 1971 z (:

[@MrDatrod]

+mauricio delgadillo Long champs were the extra wheels. They are on my 510 wagon.

[@jaredchong4070]

LOL , the car from wangan midnight and bruce almighty

[@TheBrothersCompound]

I want one so fucking bad man.

[@saraburley5172]

A general pet-peeve of mine is to have music over a exhaust note. Especially since the guy in the video explains how he'd rather listen to the beautiful music his car makes than some AC/DC song.. And what do you play as he peals out? Crappy techno.

[@kanaric]

LOL yes that is annoying.

[@LOLHICRONO]

'techno' lol, i get what you mean though.

[@Wemo577]

What's the song at 3:24

[@magmadragonz]

EFM - Silver Lining

[@schecksyote928]

[@MrDatrod]

[@atomicdoug]

Nice car

[@TheJankoFilms]

I was looking for a 240z but not having any luck, but i found a really good deal on a 1974 datsun 260z and they look the exact same as the 240z. Should i just wait for a 240z to come around or just do the 260z its a killer deal!

[@frijolitodr]

Simple answer 'yes' they share a lot of similarities :-)

[@TheJankoFilms]

Samuel Campana K thx man ill be picking up that 260z then.

[@frijolitodr]

260z has small improvements over 240z just so you know plus also depends if you are maming into a project either stock or mod congratulations on your purchase :-)

[@TheJankoFilms]

Samuel Campana im gonna mod the 260z and thax man!!! Gonna post videos of the build.

[@frijolitodr]

[@samuelschmidt2787]

where is the celica video?

[@mzondi1970]

Love the car. I know looks are subjective. But I would loose the lugnuts, stipes and some of the more modern interior parts like the shift knob. The rest is golden

[@MrDatrod]

+mzondi1970 Just so you know. I now have a momo shift knob and different lug nuts and center caps. But the stripe stays...Sorry

[@mzondi1970]

lol. no problem. like I said looks are subjective. Still a very nice car

[@whoohaaXL]

Wow! Apparently you can get into some trouble with the stock 2.4L I6...

[@mistacoz]

Dude, I love these cars and I love your car. It's amazing. But nothing, I repeat - NOTHING - is better than AC/DC. ;-)

[@ismailmohamud9390]

I want as my first car

[@redstrooly1]

Anyone know whats the Artist and song? Really sounds like something i hear in a James Bond movie, HECK James Bond should drive a Datsun in one movie at least!

[@Thatmaninrio]

Great car ! Would've liked to hear more engine, and less lame attempt at music, but good visuals..

[@arturogdv]

is that skyfall music?

[@ElectricFederal]

No, just our own.
