Thanks for watching guys! What do you think of Datsun?

[opgkoyote]

Datsun's are awesome. Plain and simple. Such a classic tuner I love the way they look, sound, all that stuff

[spooler]

Yes. I had one when I was in high school. I have owned them all except for a 240z and 350z. I have a 1975 280zt and a 370z Nismo at the moment.

David thank you for not trashing your channel by only making vlogs. Thank you for doing reviews still.

David, thanks for reviewing such a cool car. I'm glad people are still into these cars.
I had a 1975 280Z from 2002 to 2005. It had similar wheels, suspension upgrades and was a metal flake brown. I had CRX seats and the interior was in great shape. Man, you are making me miss that car. If I didn't live in the East coast rust belt I would get another one. My biggest regret is not buying a clean 240z with a chevy 305 swap about eight years ago. I had a other Z cars, but those first gen body styles are the best. Now I have a Honda S2000 but if i moved out west I think I'd want an old Z like that again with a rebello racing motor!

the datsun z series cars are actually what got me into cars and the automotive culture, and now yesterday i bought my very first project car, a 90 honda crx. im so happy!

I owned one, 1972 240z. Needed a lot of work, bought it as a project. It was all stock, cornered like a race car with the independent suspension all around, and the inline 6 went awesome. Sad I sold it, but that happens

I love analog cars, it's not always about the quantitative numbers. Sometimes the qualitative experience you get is enough.

This makes me even more excited to keep working on my 280z, my dad and I have been doing so much rust repair. When it's all back together it will be such a blast to drive.

I used to have two! A 280 then I swapped the engine into a 260 and I converted it to SU carbs. As I was watching I kept getting chills down my spine from that raw sound. I had gotten a 350z after that but I always said that even though it may be faster it doesn't give u the same feeling. A trip to the market felt like a huge journey and as if u went 150 mph when in reality it was only 40 mph. And also the car has huge personality. She sometimes get angry but when it's working perfectly you are that much more grateful. This video made me miss my cars man. Even the smell of a Datsun is different.

3:26 couldn't agree more. Rust is the main issue we're running into with the channels 240z. Living in the Midwest with our snow, rust just comes with the package. We've had to change the whole floor board and even the rocker panels because everything was rusted out. But man the Datsuns are a gems.

3 months ago I finally picked up a 72' 240z project, I'm currently fixing all the rust and giving it a lot of love. I can't wait to drive it in the summer !

I helped my mom buy a '77 280z in good mostly original condition last year as her "fun" car as a retirement gift to herself. Initially, she had been considering old VW bugs, but I suggested she look at these old Datsuns due to their sportier nature. And we are both so glad she chose to pick up the Z! It is a gorgeous car and fun to zip around in. My mom tells me all the time about the attention she gets from people of all ages (mostly men) who give her thumbs up at stoplights, holler "nice Z!" as she drives buy, or stop to talk about the car when she's filling up the tank. It's really an amazing thing and I'm glad my mom loves it. She deserves it! Now, if I can just get her to consider an engine swap! ;)

My aunt has a modified 71 240z. One of the funnest cars ive ever driven. I plan on buying it off her once I graduate from college.

Glad you finally got to drive one of the best sports car ever build . I had a 74 Datsun 260Z (same color, the green part) back in the early 80's when I was stationed out in northern California . I really miss that car. I always said that it was the right car, at the right time, in the right place. Koni shocks, Mullholland springs, FR 60/14 BF Goodrich tires on US slotted mags and a Pacesetter exhaust system. I used to get up early on Sunday mornings just so I could take that car up around Lake Barryessa so I could catch as little traffic as possible. My first four wheel drift was in that car. :)

[craigthacker]

The Datsun 260Z was in a horror story I read as a kid. I feel in love with them. They have always been my favourite car.

[Blarbling]

The s30z has been a dream dream of mine ever since I drove one in Grand Turismo 4, I was 8 at the time, now turning 21. Tomorrow I'll be looking at an s13 hatch, which I feel is a spiritual successor to the 240z, and I'm super excited.

[InvictvsNox]

Never seen a Datsun I didn't absolutely love. SO jealous.

[Timpala]

My first car was a 1974 Datsun 260z. I got pulled over all of the time. It was impossible to find parts for back in the 1980's. But, it was a ton of fun to drive.

[gibby]

I literally saw a busted up 260Z yesterday. The back bumper was missing and the gear stick was replaced with a green skull! But when they drove away I couldn't help but smile when I heard the noise it made!
