Thanks to CarParts.com for sponsoring today’s episode. Click here bit.ly/CarPartscom3 to check out their massive inventory of car parts.
Nissan’s first Z brought exotic European performance and looks to the masses. It's history's most important sports car, full stop. But it almost didn’t happen. In fact, it took a conspiracy to make it happen. Without a small group of enthusiasts working against Nissan’s corporate wishes, the automotive landscape of the past 50 years would be unrecognizable. The Datsun 240Z is that big of a deal! This story is weirder than we ever expected. Put on your tinfoil hats and get ready for a trip down the rabbit hole with host James Pumphrey, this is everything you need to know to get Up To Speed on the conspiracy to build the first Nissan Z!
A massive thank you to internationally-renowned Datsun S30 Z expert Carl Beck for helping us get the facts straight on this episode, and for letting us dip into his image archive. We literally couldn’t have done this without him! He’s an incredible asset to the Z world, and has some amazing Zs in his collection. Check out his site, www.zhome.com.

We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to speak with Matsuo-san several times over the past many years, and he was a very passionate and fascinating designer. When Mr. K and Matsuo-san began working on the Z project in the 1960's, they were quite literally making automotive history and they paved the path for the Japanese sports car in America. It's unfortunate that they aren't here with us today to see the newest generation Z. Side note: as mentioned Matsuo was adamant about not changing the roofline to accommodate taller drivers. Instead, the floor of the car was lowered to add another inch (or so) of clearance.

@SvdSinner 2 года назад

I have a wonderful memory of being out on a rural Arkansas highway driving an '89 Mustang GT convertible in the early '90s. A Z pulled in front of me as we left a small town and he took off. We weren't racing, but I decided to keep up with him. I was amazed at how often I had to downshift to keep up with that Z, and how hard I had to push that 5.0L engine. I never looked at Z's the same way again.

@alangil40 2 года назад

I had two Mustang GTs - 1983 and 1986 before I got into a used Z32 1990 300ZX Twin Turbo in 1994. The Z with 300hp was making a lot more horsepower than the 5.0's in either of my GTs and was significantly quicker especially between 80mph and 120mph And in 1989 a Mustang GT had 225 horsepower, so if it was a Twin Turbo he could have dusted you very easily. If it was a the normally aspirated version then it was only making 222 hp so that makes more sense. @One Legged Pigeon - The Z31 was also called a 300ZX, though it only made 200hp for the turbo and base engine only 168hp. I am guessing that the original poster was talking about a Z32.

The new Z is ok looking, I like how they somewhat went back to the old tail-lights but the front is just undesirable

@r3d-1truth17 2 года назад

So… with lots of research and intense graphic designs from you and your crew, you could have expanded on why Nissan failed to do aftermarket support for the Z- 2nd generation especially. If this vehicle was such an inspirational movement and huge impact on the Japanese car market. Thanks again and cheers

Yall didn't mention how it came over as a Datsun first because Nissan was unsure of how the Z would sell here. Awesome video though as always dude. "I wish I could still eat chili dogs...I'd go to Cinicinnati right now boy!"

If i remember correctly someone said that Nissan can only make one brand new sports car platform or else they go bankrupt, idk if that's true or no but if it is true then maybe we'll see the new GTR in 2023
