[@devandrasimanjuntak1646]

Yeah, and some of them are pretty weird. Like when they decided to race the Supra, they ditched the 2J in favour of a 3S-GTE.

[@AbrahamArthemius]

@@devandrasimanjuntak1646 Some of the reasons are because they're lighter, more fuel efficient, & produces pretty much the same power as the inline-6. To be honest, Toyota's Inline-4 engines has been around the racing scene in quite a lot of stuff compared to the Inline-6 (which is more known in drifting scene), mainly used in GT, Touring, Endurance Race, & Rally. Their current Supra GT500 also uses an Inline-4 turbo alongside their Super Formula cars and both of those things are rocket ships (GT500 isn't called the fastest GT series in the world for nothing after all). The reasoning is due to regulation stuff, but pretty sure Toyota will use an Inline-4 again to power their GT500s given the opportunity.

@@AbrahamArthemius ik this is a late reply to a comment but I think Toyota have already done the inline-4 to their new Supra in GT500 class (correct me if I'm wrong). Anyways, IDK if this is a silly question to ask but do you think doing an inline 4 swaps to a vehicle like the Supra would translate well in Time Attack racing application? (in other words, following that kind of regulation in order to build a full Time Attack machine in unlimited class). Please let me know, I'm just really curious about it especially HKS themselves already did an inline-4 swap from 2jz engine to their Toyota Altezza (aka Lexus IS300) for time attack event and breaking the lap record in Tsukuba Circuit many years ago. Anyways, I'm super interested and obsessed in track/endurance and time attack racing so yeah, please let me know, thanks!!

[@4our6ixkwvmz]

What are the differences?

[@datsoon9236]

@@4our6ixkwvmz the 280zx was a completely different chassis with a slightly different engine. The later model 280z's (s30) had the l28e, and so did the 280zx, but the 280zx had a few different changes. I believe it had a different fuel injection system than the 280z (the 240z and 260z both were carbureted). The 280zx had a complete redesign to the interior, a completely different body, different suspension, and a whole lot more features. The 280ZX was now aimed at being more of a luxury Grand tour car. So it had power everything. Power windows, power mirrors, a really nice stereo with tons of features, velvet velor seats with leather siding as an option (mine has them in blue with white siding), power antenna, rear window sprayer/washer, and a brand new thing to Nissan, removable T-Tops as an option coming out in 1980. In 1982 they came out with a Turbo model. A digital display guage cluster came out with this car, and it was really ahead of it's time. This car had a LOT of horsepower for a Japanese car at the time as well. 197hp. The 280zx beat multiple exotic supercars of the time in racing, including the Ferrari 308 I believe. A lot of guys who were used to the s30 did not like the 280zx because it felt softer and it wasn't as raw as the previous generations. Which it was softer, but it was a much much better daily driver and much better for taking on long trips. It still handled amazingly well though, and it was faster. If you put aftermarket suspension on them (I have Tokico racing gas struts on mine), they handle better than an s30 and it brings back what people love about the previous generation. Overall a very different car with different features. And it really just depends on what you prefer. This car was at the point where they were phasing out the Datsun name and changing back to Nissan, so there is a badge on the back that says, "Datsun 280zx by Nissan." This was the last z car in history to go under the Datsun marque. Hope that helps!

Car was running on a Tsukuba circuit setup, therefore the lack in longer gear ratio for a top speed run. The exact Z did not partake in any 1996 speed trial whatsoever. It has never *officially* crossed the 200mph mark. Note that I said "officially" as the car MAY have crossed beyond the point during usual street cruises. This is the same for Yoshida-san's 930, whereby the maximum recorded speed it has ever reached was 302.52 during the 88' speed trial in December. I was hoping to avoid this video until it kept popping onto my recommendeds. This is the exact reason why I stopped watching this channel, pure garbola contents.

Omg the AE86 at 9:50… memories of sega gt come rushing back at the sight of that thing

Now James gotta make "American Cars Need to Chill out" Hennessey gotta be in it

[@RSpracticalshooting]

They literally made a video titled "Hennessy Needs to Chill Out" kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYvXfaGEibyBe7M

Xerf Spec, a KZbinr that used to post many Jazz-Fusion compilations, had a whole playlist of Yatabe tracks with a whole bunch of the cars mentioned in this video. It warmed my hearth hearing about the history of the cars I’ve been seeing on the video thumbnails while listening to some good fucking Jazz-Fusion. Unfortunately Xerf’s channel got terminated due to multiple copyright strikes, so all the playlists are gone from KZbin. It was a blast though. Edit: Apparently some of the playlists are still available under other KZbin Channels. Just search ‘Yatabe Track Day Jazz Fusion’ and you’ll find them.

you guys missed papadakis racing 1000hp a90 supra

[@adithyanbharat4372]

Love JDMs and this is just the video i wanted..

[@IDarkCalibur]

8:54 what a wholesome family

[@mytruthslays1303]

Jdm has chilled out. Hence why you rarely see them ever racing in the streets. It breaks my heart.

[@jaidenverrall5534]

Don't is the only channel where I watch their sponsored segments. They are just so good

[@jerrogs]

Anyone else wait for about 2 weeks to just binge watch donut media? I do!

Just for anyone interested, using 2 Ecus for V12s is still commonplace today. Anything with more than 8 cylinders often uses 2 Ecus, a primary and a secondary.

James going chill to nuts then back to chill on command is like his version of the Fujiwara Zone

[@nateplayzyt8152]

Can Jerry make a vid on counter steering a motorcycle? I’m still trying to grasp the whole idea and science of “push left, turn left. Push right, turn right”. I feel sense Jerry loves motorcycles so much and science so much, he’d enjoy explaining this and my brain can stop hurting.

“That’s just Business 101… Thanks for taking my class.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mmatthews61687]

Would like to see a 'Snowmobiles Need To Chill Out" episode. Some people don't understand how fast sleds are OEM or how fast modified drag sleds can be as well.

My favorite fact about the hks zero-r is that there were 10 built and they had their own VIN. For that to be accepted, six had to be crashed. 1 is lost somewhere (i assume it rusted away) 2 are still with hks and the last one belongs to Sultan of brunei (because of course)

[@benjaminowen2089]

When James says awesome with that level of enthusiasm at the end, the first syllable sounds like that moaning fish video

[@twothreebravo]

I do not care one lick about super tuned Japanese streetcars, but I enjoyed this video immensely.

[@poseidon1951]

Thanks James I almost thought JDM culture was almost over

[@jakeparrott9096]

Might as well called this one. "Nissan tuners need to chill." Lots of nissan here. Loved it!
