Fun fact: The Devil Z is based on a real life 280zx turbo that was built to hell and back but they made it a 240z for the anime.

[@angelfr9952]

Yup! I fall in love with that car because of the one in Wangan Midnight anime show. I hope to buy one, one day.

[@ModifiedImportsandDomestics]

I shed a tear every time I see a Z in a junk yard... I just bought a 1 owner 76 280Z that's been sitting for quite a few years, I plan on doing a restoration and making videos. and nice video btw! I look forward to checking out more of your content!

[@korosumyself]

hell yeah good luck on that project!

[@mtnaji_]

Bro what a nice video Just keep doing more junk yard finds

[@korosumyself]

appreciate that! got lots of vlogs on the way!

[@poppopgoesthaweasel]

That is Datsun had a really cool front. It reminded me of the Fiat spider.

[@ernestmartinez9071]

My first car was a gift from my uncle 79 280zx same color as that one.

[@sjoervanderploeg4340]

@6:37 you struck the coin jackpot there!

[@ACCELER8SL8]

Odd question but you ever heard of prizzamike? you two would be a fire duo

[@korosumyself]

just came across him recently on tiktok! I knew he was the 240sx that went viral for the T bone accident but didnt know he did junkyard stuff as well! def open to collabing with em!

[@karson1214]

​​​​@@korosumyself Was just about to comment about him as well, seems like a really down to earth cool dude. His approach of keeping/hoarding junkyard parts for his cars is pretty helpful especially for project cars and collectible cars like these, you never know when you'll need a part or if someone you know needs it

[@migs7220]

NICE FIND!! I have done so much work to my old zx. Now I either need to replace the bottom runners, and some other chunks fo the body, all cosmetic... or find a new body.

[@NipponSpeedWorks]

man you found the devil z

[@LooseFab]

i just started building the same car over on my channel! theyre such fun cars

[@jayrogers8255]

That’s a 240Z, this is a 280ZX.

[@MichaelDeSantaClaus]

@@jayrogers8255actually the 240z from wangan midnight was based on a red 280zx which is the real devil z

[@Rexxranger]

If im remembering correctly those are ford ranger wheels on the 350z, its definitely interesting but cool.

[@Caraccount569]

Awesome video man keep it up

[@karljay7473]

You should grab the turbo engine. I have 3 ZXs and I stripped a turbo car. Got the 5 speed, complete turbo engine and R200 rear. I'd go back and get the engine and rear end, they are hard to find.

[@Treaxvour]

Cool stuff! I would just get new hatch seals and struts though..new struts come with the ball attachments, BTW

[@Fusionman187]

So that was an 81 GL turbo....I have the same car with the stainless Targa band on the roof. Great find.

[@korosumyself]

whoa targa band, ive yet to see that in person. must be rare ye?

[@michaelmeux4137]

Yard prices are constantly going up compared to aftermarket or eBay. Window motor PHX yard wanted 65 and eBay new 1 yr warranty was 45 so sometimes it's better to shop around

[@mitchsterling3266]

You deserve to have the blue car. That should be yours also! I hope you adopt it, maybe you could trade him something for it.

[@Zeusx1944]

Love the content keep this up!

[@korosumyself]

Appreciate the support!

[@LooseFab]

i just started building one of these over on my channel! such fun cars!

[@Koenisegg]

Nice video the headlight washers are sick

[@korosumyself]

fr it was a really cool detail

[@Vekasis]

Cool video my man I saw you on tiktok!

[@korosumyself]

whats up!!

[@trishbrad00]

1st year 280ZX. TURBO. ALL AUTO. CLIMATE CONTROL, HEADLIGHT WASHERS.

[@abymondesir23]

Great video I like your style and energy wish you lived in south Florida I would definitely link up with you. Datsuns are cool mane

[@ClassicRideSociety]

I know that car 😄. I made a video on it when it got put out in yard. That crx was also pretty complete when it was put out. Made a video on that one too. Yea that yard is hit or miss when it comes to prices. Depends on who you get at the counter. The reason that most engines/transmissios are gone is because the yard pulls them to sell separately. If they are still in the vehicle, the yard sells it as a core and says its no good. Ive bought some good engines like that from there

[@korosumyself]

Yooo thats so cool! I peeped the channel and you've got some really cool stuff! Maybe I'll see you around the area haha

[@happyfunny5086]

Safe it. It’s a Turbo!

[@koapharder]

W video man

[@korosumyself]

appreciate it brotha

[@trishbrad00]

6.8 zero to 60!!

[@lasse..7129]

Nice, i feel like grillnetting between the frontbumper and the underlip would be a Nice little tuch😊 since it’s really open

[@korosumyself]

yeahh!! def planning to do that. Originally I wanted to just have grill mesh in the front instead of the skillard bumper

[@Project_ABR]

Yooooo I was going to pick that up when I seen it!

[@korosumyself]

haha the temptation to save them all is real out here. Yours is coming along nicely brotha

[@sherzai1460]

W video, tryna find me a datsun

[@LigerZero-om3tg]

i need one of those hubs so bad im missin one

[@BosnianAndSwedish]

Hello, i just want to know where do you got the front from? I want that on my too 👍❤️

[@steven6692]

How can anyone have the heart to cannibalize a car in that condition...

[@mikivoj1227]

more junkyard runs

[@carswithcrackers]

Those CRX headlights are worth some money. Last time I checked, you can still get new complete carpet kits for like $250.

[@korosumyself]

Dang thats good to know. Don't see too much of these out there so it makes sense

[@carswithcrackers]

@@korosumyself I don't know how you keep finding these in the yards. Down here and around Austin they never have Datsuns.

[@Deimos-TP]

Look's like a Nizzan 240z

[@edvardhuber3592]

Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne via Facebook, je me suis abonné car j’apprécie la restauration de ta Z ❤

[@colenorthwick5023]

Could i ask what location this was. I seen a car ,i could use parts

[@trueightsix]

Lol dw40.. where can I buy that asking for a friend

[@williambrown319]

if I couldn't buy the whole car, I'd strip that down to the frame

[@phatman1759]

what model and year is your burgundy z

[@snorelaxinggames]

If it has the oem antenna thats worth good coin aswell

[@korosumyself]

interesting ill keep an eye out

[@tunnerro]

I have the turbo i am working . Its almost done

[@korosumyself]

nice! hope it works out well for ya!

[@LvbelCedortbucuk]

Wouldn't it be more comfortable if you use a gopro?

[@korosumyself]

maybe. i like how versatile the iphone is tho

[@parkave5928]

U go more then 4k it takes like how u explain everything good video hope u make too a million invest ok

[@eddieace345]

ECUs for those are absolute trash lol. Most everyone with the L28et is going over to standalone so you don’t have to deal with AFM and the wiring nightmare

[@papasmurf986]

What do you use to find the cars you are looking for? I am aware of Row52 but there are a lot of yards that are not part of that program and finding cars in random junkyards can be pretty time consuming.

[@korosumyself]

some of our local yards have websites that do keep up with their inventory but for the ones that dont I pretty much just dedicate a day to walk the yard when I can.

[@papasmurf986]

@@korosumyself Thanks... I am a hour or two south of you...had 240, z31 and, z32's....restoring a 944 now and am looking for 924/944 parts.

[@capspik]

if you find a z buy the whole thing

[@hightronicbutter4862]

You should do a dfw meet up bro

[@korosumyself]

👀

[@_Wai_Wai_]

hey, what state do you live in?

[@renefontanez1531]

If I was you I'll take that camshaft out and save it

[@bleachgarage]

The piece that you are missing below your radio is a slide in ash tray.

[@korosumyself]

ahhh that makes sense, thanks!

[@LigerZero-om3tg]

where in texas is this yard?

[@korosumyself]

This one was in Fort Worth, long gone by now. most yards i hit are in Dallas though

[@vancogocevski767]

It is so annoying how you think you need to take OFF the clips on the trunk struts. They only need to be pulled a little to release the struts. If you loose them they wont hold the trunk on your car, you do realize this don't you?

[@fdluid6862]

any z31s in there?

[@afranc1s]

asking the real question

[@korosumyself]

Not in this yard but I've seen some in the Dallas area

[@jeffreywong5112]

Devil z

[@giorgitadumadze8490]

[@jesseleelong2824]

Should of took the whole car

[@trishbrad00]

Snowflake wheels one year only!

[@justmyopinion8395]

Dw40? 😂 it’s wd40

[@MegaDm87]

What does a running 280 zx like that go for?

[@starfox1340]

Buy the entire car!! Are you crazy!

[@CaptainGeoDeuce]

Can this junkyard cars get a title? I want a fairlady in Greece so bad but in Europe they go more than 80k. Can I import one from the states

[@parkave5928]

Great find but their cars left behind in London by rich people and classic and modern cars I was extra hand the salary was great just move and drive cars too the docks in London I made for 5 days half my salary of the year I was lucky

[@starfox1340]

I can’t watch this , buy the entire car for 500$ and part it out
