SR20det Datsun 240z

[@mercuryxi1]

Is it just me... but when the car starts you want to say.."Okay shut up music, the car is running."

[@Shagrath-rl2pg]

Exactly (y)

[@cantcomplain7892]

I have been looking for this video for 10 years. Thought it got deleted. This video made me absolutely fall in love with Z's. Bought one as my first car at 18. Loved every second of owning it.

[@BigJohnno66]

I just love the look of the 240Z. Such a classic. Good to see them still in action.

[@1oldskoolluvr]

that. is. one. sick. Z. sweet vid, nice overlay of the track (and a good choice too) with just enough to compliment the music coming from the car.

[@JDMJACOB1]

I really absolutely love the l28, but I'd like to have an sr20 if my z would be used as a daily.

[@JDMJACOB1]

Soon, maybe?

[@sylensyoso]

Nice vid....better yet nice car, i myself have a 81' 210datsun ever since i was a lil kid ive been in love w/ datsuns

[@spinmember]

Thats an incredible looking car. Consider yourself as a really lucky person!

[@CatfishKalen]

This video is what inspired me to start building my 240z

[@KptTrumm]

BMW Type 188 clutch LSD, Nissan S13 rear hubs and bearings, custom axles.with BMW inner and S13 outer ends, custom strut assembly to accept S13 hub and bearings and S13 front full coilovers, built in camber adjustment, only the control arm is original with poly bushings. Hope it helps

[@colemanerik]

makes me want my '76 280 again even with its rusted frame. Awesome car!

[@aznpinoy81]

it's really nice and clean, loved all classic datsun cars!!! do a Rb next time...

[@240sxmetal]

This is so awesome, that it has inspired me ALMOST enough to quit my ca18 240sx build... Just to build an old z...

[@yourmomluvsmyhonda9802]

nice work dude i love old datsuns!

[@Trollsky]

Gsinut there is a chance for another movie with ur sr20det datsun ? can't wait ...

[@cxbra]

Beautiful ride. My only question is why is the drivers rear wheel have positive camber? The left side looks great but the right looks cambered in!

[@James_z32]

depends on your area here around ny you could get one in in really good condition for about 7500 and up or a project for about 1200

[@midnightstreetracerjapan]

nice music + nice vide + nice car = AWEZOME!

[@xr8brisbane]

incredibly well put together video mate

[@SkratchNSniff69]

You know what sounds even better some 13b Rotary! But I agree im a honda guy myself but you cant deny the sound of 240's they are badass.

[@KptTrumm]

I have S13 FRONT BC Coilovers on each corner. Tires are 225/50 15 and wheels are Custom made Epsilons 15x10 et -27. Hope it helps

[@TheTheprofessional53]

Why do car enthusiasts who build beautiful, fast cars always have an utterly shit taste in music? XD

[@HJJKG1]

The song is Im Not Your Toy by La Roux... not sure on this particular mix

[@kevintjeownzu]

SICK RIDE! the color fits perfect!

[@Danilob360]

This right here is my dream car, the only thing keeping me from building is that fact that it's too nice for the things i wanna do to it.

[@JeridRutledge]

Agreed. Have you ever had the chance to ride/drive a NSX, though? That Vtec is an entirely different monster (probably because of the V6), but it's awesome sounding when it kicks. IMO, you can't beat the sound of a turbo straight 6.

[@Gioagla]

last year i missed one ..i still regret it ...

[@Linky962]

Thanks dude I love what you guys do to the 280 with the fender flares makes it look more beastly lol, but i dont think i would be able to get those rims from my side of the globe, but is there anything else i can use? do you know about these ROTA's that some guys have on their 280's what size,width and offset can i use?The SR20 sounds menacing, ive got a 280zx shell and wondering whether to go with a 1JZ, SR or RB what you think?

[@markzbresenio]

i'll never get tired watching this video

[@Linky962]

Darn this video was posted 10 months ago wanted to find out some info on the suspension and wheels but its highly unlikely that this guy is still around he's prob. long gone

[@WeirdoWithABeirdo84]

My bro is about to get '78 280z and he's going to put a twin turbo 2jz in it.

[@de0ndre]

They look like Epsilon rims, I would love to find a set in white face for my 280z!

[@MPLFoster]

Sweet Z. Even sweeter 3-piece Epsilon Southern Ways Mesh. What are the specs on the rims?

[@tannerevans8691]

did those fenders increase your James Bond effect? nice Datsun!

[@KptTrumm]

It's sainless 3" straight from the turbo and Kakimoto catback. BOV is Tial replica. S14 notch, stock turbo. 331hp.

[@ZeusTovar]

Thanks Ryan, think ima just end up cutting the springs...

[@sheepborg]

That is one very attractive Z you have there.

[@slipNslidae86]

that engine bay is only being half used. Because of that it would be much more suited for racing, already a treasure for all the weight being in the exact center.

[@josephsmith2521]

Awesome car.thanks for sharing.Love those rims.

[@marcus11619]

What rims are those? Epsilons, i think, but what are the specs? width, offset allthat jazz? I think those are the perfect rim for the datsun. Im picky about rims but i LOVE these. Btw, sorry you have so many people posting stupid comments on you nice video. Do more!!!

[@j2000yahoo1]

Nice! Orange on gold mesh. I say you can swap any motor just as long as it's Nissan built keeping it within the family, right? Rotary, Chevy LS in a Datsun? That's whack! Lol! J/K Too each their own........ I have a silver S30 on black Epsilons with the L28ET swap and I'm good with that...If I had the time and money I would have likely gone with the RB series motor. But still Andre Rauds Z is hella sick!

[@iTxD]

My words don't mean much to many but in all honesty hands down this beauty just gives me goose bumps man, it reminds me of my own little project. Like hands down sexist 240z ever.

[@kujo3971]

i can dig it because im a built SR owner but yeah an RB series motor i think would fit this platform better , a newer stronger inline 6

[@jonailly]

Very nice car. My first car was a 280zx. What song is this?

[@executorbg]

@MegaShark50 You are talking about the first generation GTR ? I prefer the fairlady cause the GTR is more like an executives car and the Z is with more sporty look. ;)

[@KR4K40]

I really, really, like those wheels.

[@executorbg]

Nissan Fairlady Z is The Car, ladies and gentlemen!! Its simultaneously fast, it has much maneuverability (i have seen this cars at hill-climbs) it has classic appeal and a marvelous sound and it can drift too!! I cannot think of any other car that gathers together these qualities!! What do you think ? :)

[@samjones4382]

Love the car song combo

[@JeridRutledge]

I'm jealous of this Datsun. I've always wanted a 240z :(

[@MatthewEvann]

What kind of rims are those? I love everything about the car, amazing job.

[@Trollsky]

half of these views are from me :) Great sound of blow off, pure evil :)

[@thedrunkentradesman]

Sweet z man I need to get a body kit for my 280zx

[@berniecollins9009]

song is La Roux - I'm Not Your Toy (Jackbeats Remix)

[@Horse_Footed]

How much modding to the frame did you have to do for the swap? Always interested to know how much was involved in this swap.

[@zayadude]

Maybe some day me and you can run our DATSUNS with our sr20 swaps!!! I've could make a car club across the country!

[@MsJosephzammit]

Best datsun I have ever seen that matt brown is awesome in the car Hate the sr20 try the rb26.

[@Devourer221]

Im not sure why you think the silvias have the same formula? Being long with the set back cockpit silvias designs are quite obviously different if you take the entire fairlady series and drop it side by side you can really see it evolve, also engine wise you have a few inline 6's that sit quite a fairway back and are the same weight as the l series

[@ZeusTovar]

Do you have coil overs on that or did you cut the springs? I got tokico shocks and springs on mine but it still does not sit that low.

[@KptTrumm]

[@natespragg4999]

im new to the z scene does that wing come stock some or is it aftermarket

[@edgyjake598]

try SR20VET or RB26DETT... if you can get your hands on one or the other.

[@ocfp519]

@Gsinut where did you get those fender flares for this car?

[@huertajovanny]

great car man respect

[@SikedChiken]

im looking at a 240z project car, how did the swap go? was there any problems?

[@nprzz5947]

how reliable are the stock motors for these cars

[@asplenia]

Nice, Great video.. Keep the videos coming. Asplenia

[@johngonzales3149]

Quick question...when you swapped a sr20 det....what driveshaft did you use.....can you use...can you use the same one as the sr20'sdrive shaft....i recently sold my 240sx to buy a 280z..... I have 2 diffs ready to go....a r200 and vlsd....but will the stock sr20 driveshaft on a 280z with sr20 swap fit with these diffs?....thanks i would appreciate the feed back!...nice build!!!

[@James_z32]

get a custom drive shaft

[@reaperisdeadonroblox]

+j bonilla hard to find for these cars if im going to completely honest good quality ones that is

[@spinmember]

can you give me some technical details about the car please? would really appreciate it!

[@Ineedagoodscreenname]

theres one of these down the road under a carport of an abonded house :/ its been there forever but i dont know who to contact to get it.

[@datsunz]

Lovely car! Man stick the L6 back in and boost it!

[@shakotanZ]

great to see people building Z's properly. :)

[@martin9502]

@drift510ss ive seen this same lip on ebay, its a euro lip.

[@70moparbaby]

are those pink epsilons? i have some of those in 4x110 haha we call them the elton johns

[@WeeFreeMan78]

I'm in love again...

[@8sixfeetunder]

do you have any videos of yours? im 15 and i am restoring one. its a fun yet long and sometimes aggrivating process lol... i have a vid of both of my 240z's on here if you want to check them out

[@tomyang8115]

I want one, can't find one here in Wisconsin.

[@DrewEmc2]

I love my 2012 Wrangler!!!

[@billyswisher8822]

Do you have air conditioning? If so how did you do it? I have a 76 280z with a red top sr20det and I can't figure it out!

[@chikoloko135]

+Billy Swisher does the engine fit well with stock space? or i have to cut the car to make space?

[@chikoloko135]

+emmanuel cañas oh and the tranny as well, will the tranny that comes with the engine fit the z?

[@super_slav91]

That is one awesome machine

[@artakisthebest]

my dream car!

[@mohawkguy92]

Love this dude.

[@sirMS3]

Weld rear diff? Or new LSD swapped in?

[@funnywhiteboi]

I want this car.

[@aquicksilver266]

What a sweet Ride!

[@noobydiablo]

theyre both good

[@jstntlvr]

If you want to update the Z and keep to the ideals of the original intact (Lightweight, affordable well balanced fun sport car) then the SR is a perfect engine to use. The S13 should have inherited the fairlady name not the z32,33 monstrosities (I count the z31 as a z car but only just barely)

[@chikoloko135]

does the engine fit well stock? or i have to make space?

[@austinsolo3135]

the sr20 fits great. a lot of room once it's in

[@8sixfeetunder]

in response to psirider, its called a stroker kit..

[@superiguana1]

Awesomely so, the sr20det in a 240z actually converts it to a mid-engine vehicle (technically speaking).

[@dailyforman]

amazing video

[@GOLDWILDCAT23]

What tire size, rim size and offset are you running?

[@burtonbordr23]

Nice vid, song?

[@wiltse0]

there is one built just like this on CL in my area

[@KptTrumm]

Not gone, I'm here :) Wheels are posted in first posts. Custom Epsilons. 15X10 et-28

[@VWagenMan]

Beautiful

[@sheltiemanva]

BETTER than a skyline. ANY DAY of the week. It is not how you look, it's how the vehicle performs that counts. Drive them both and tell me honestly you prefer a skyline. (No way, no how...)

[@AHealthierMike]

This is fucking beautiful

[@strasharo]

Looks great!

[@deepsea9292]

very cool ! It is good also at edit of video.

[@416street]

where can i get bolt fender flares! i want for my FD

[@NBoelkov]

but why a smaller engine??
