That's what I liked about my FR-S.

@Jimidan1000 4 года назад

@@twrcrew8852 Yeah, I had a stock 1971 and it was a real rust bucket. A body shop spent some time on it cutting out the rusted body parts and welding in plates. It handled very well for the day, and handled far better than my 66 Mustang GT...which was a straight line car. The 240Z was a road car.

@thebrain9384 6 лет назад

That's similar to a Corvette with 750 hp, But if you look at videos throughout RU-vid Corvettes aren't very good at applying that power to the ground (they crash alot). I'm sure this Datsun goes just fine without alot of fishtailing.

@justinriley8651 6 лет назад

the brain the driver plays a large factor in what your saying. The people are not race car drivers . The car is fine.

@thebrain9384 6 лет назад

Of course driver error can be blamed, but evidence points to the vehicles if you see enough of it. When a Ferrari or a Porsche crash it's obviously something the driver was doing, the Corvette is a different story. Now it's the Challengers and the Chargers, I'm not seeing alot of Viper crashes.

@josephsamsor1698 6 лет назад

the brain it really is the driver. There are way more corvettes than Ferrari’s. That’s why you see more crashes.

Second favorite episode so far. Love the color, the build tale, the wheels. This is one sick Zed. Congrats Dom, love the power to weight upgrades. The wheels do stick out, I’ve always enjoyed bronze, gunmetal contrasting with wheels. Super awesome, so glad this was what you did. Thanks for this.

Very cool! My cousin had one of those. Had a straight 6 with two 2 barrel carbs. Lot of fun to drive!

@elmatador4759 6 лет назад

Thanks Jay. What another amazing build. This guy has a near perfect taste for modding these Nissans/Datsuns the way they should be. Screw all these haters and purists who say he should have done this or that. Its his car and me and many others love it. The titanium and all the little touches like the custom jdm work wheels really set this car off. The interior was so clean and setup the way I would love, with all the modern appts. The SR seemed to be setup right. Im positive the proper head work, stock bottom end, and the perfectly matched turbo size, make for a very reliable 4xx at the wheels which is very conservative. Im sure with better tuning and e85 it would be in the 500s easily, and reliably. The way he moved that engine back, the weight removed, and that genious rear end im sure make for a very well balanced canyon carver. And BTW he said under 2k pounds. WTF!! Lol. Kudos to you Jay and the owner. Well done. Very well done!

@peter-radiantpipes2800 6 лет назад

My good friend and his dad have been racing these 240’s since he was a kid. Have a couple beautiful ones. Same area as this guy too. Gorgeous cars. Still look great.

@danielprivate7442 6 лет назад

I can appreciate the weight saving that has been done on this car in the name of performance, but at some point the human occupants must be a consideration of the design. The qualities of the 240z that make it so desirable to tuners are the same qualities that make it so loud and tinny on the inside. Driver fatigue is real and that cabin is unbearably loud. A few pounds of strategically placed sound deadening is worth the trade-off in weight gain. Amazing car, Dominic.

@ryant67 6 лет назад

Couldn't agree more. I stripped the interior out of my 240Z after I bought it to address a couple of minor rust issues and paint with POR-15 for longevity. I drove it to and from work while doing this, with only the dash, drivers seat, and seat belt - bare metal everywhere. It was unbearable, many loud noises, every tiny piece of grit from the road surface was audible, and the exhaust and engine noises reverberating around the cabin. Hearing loss would be a concern. I added 30 lbs of Dynamat, covering most of the large surfaces, then put the floor mats, carpeting, vinyl trim, and plastic interior panels back. Result was the cabin became a much more pleasant space to be in, and the noise, while not modern car quiet, was at a comfortable level. The car still has that vintage rawness, but isn't oppressive like it was with the stripped interior. 50lbs of weight for a proper interior in a street driven car is a no-brainer.

@bernardguynunns5658 4 года назад

Good points Daniel, I also wonder about stripping so much mass out of a vehicle making it an origami box. Surely must be less safe!

@Buttmunch420 6 лет назад

@masondobenny 6 лет назад

Mad respect to both Jay for putting people on & the interviewee for giving credit & positive attitude... The red lancia guy in the other episode could learn alot from this one.

@WyattHD 5 лет назад

Not my favorite looking 240z, but honestly, when they looked at it slowly from the side view, I was like damn! - that's a real life HOTWHEELS car! LOL!!! Still cool! Gorgeous car the 240z, man such beautiful lines!!!

@mcqueen7584 6 лет назад

Jay should merge the polo shirt with his old denim shirt but make it with black denim

@JzLyfe 6 лет назад

Here's some info on why the car sounds so loud. It has a straight pipe/open wastegate and he clearly said the engine was moved further in towards the center which in turn would increase noise because it's closer to the firewall. Also I'm pretty sure he ran solid mounts and maybe gutted the interior a bit.
