The green on the engine is hypnotic! I absolutely love that color on this build!

My 1970 240z looks just like this, would’ve never thought of building it this way.

You did a titanic job and eventually you made a real MASTERPIECE. It is simply unbelievable vehicle!!!

My mom had a 280zx when i was a kid....this is the most beautiful and amazing build of this car i have ever seen....there is so much creativity put into cars to wich they can become works of art

Very nice to see a build with a clear design vision that not only restricted to body and interior, but flows right through into the engine bay as well, brilliant Z.

i love watching this rebuild over and over .... my favorite .... wish i had money i make it even better

The body-shell seemed as rotten as possible. You seemed to need to throw 90% of everything away just to get the form factor. A real Lazarus project. You used it as a blank canvas for an astonishing reimagining of the original 70s sports coupe into a racing car. Amazing work!

the whole time im watching this video im just praying they repaint the engine bay hahah

Awesome job my man. I had a white 240Z about 15 years ago. Not a bit of rust and body was as straight as a nuns underwear. Always wanted to do something like this, just never did. For your commitment I say CONGRATS.

That is one hell of a build love the fairlady z. I would liked to see the car running and driving.

Finally one of these videos with nice music and not obnoxious junk

A plexiglass hood woulda been even more badass with neon green lighting. Not knocking your build...in fact it’s the best I’ve ever seen. Just a supplemental idea.

this is so much cooler cause you put the vq in there instead of normal stuff people swap with

Thats called buuld with heart and puttinh a soul into dedication to make something from 5hit to Wonder and example of gorgeousness.... Very clean work there!!

When the new z engine combines with the old generation Z now that’s a fun combo

Oh, my - you did very well taking on such a rust bucket and a sweet engine installation (esp' like the split charge cooler)... but the body-kit and wheel/tyre package is very much down to personal preference, to put it politely ;-)

Car is simply amazing! Would love to see a parts list on this!

I am I in awe of the talent that some men posess

Takes a lot of live and devotion to bring these old cars back but its always worth it.

I want this car so badly, it just looks so good, well done

One of the nicest Import builds I’ve seen.

My buddy had a 240z with a 6 pack. We took it up to 170mph and when we got back to my house, the engine was still cold.

Love everything about that car you guys have built, only thing is I wish it had a hood...

Love all Z cars and have had privilege of owning 5. Still undecided on this 1. Reminds me of rx7 a bit. Awesome looking ride although my opinion I don't care for rear and wheels. Happy to see your vision complete! Love these cars and thanks for sharing. Well done overall.

I bet it took months upon months and I hope it’s very gratifying to drive and have. As clean as the clear coat came out I’m sure it was cut and buffed but when it comes to black, the most I’ll ever do is nib sand but on a job like that I’d let it cure and re-clear it and avoid having to detail a black build like that. I do love the retro/modern builds, I can see the love put into it from a mile away. I would love to collaborate on a build with anyone off KZfaq if I had the chance!

I don't get the haters who will never do anything so awesome.. My friend, the details and mechanicals of your build are fantastic! That the most beautiful, sexy, sick rear end suspension and subframe cradle!! What subframe is that? Did that come from a Z? i noticed the absence of the old mustache bar holding the back of the differential? Your body styling is cool, aggressive and you did an amazing job of it. I personally like a more sleeper look, but I totally appreciate the work you've done.. And I really appreciate you sharing with us. A couple of quiestions please, cause i've looked at SPL web site to try to find some of the componenets and cant' find 240z: Is that a different subframe? Which car? Is the rear suspension kit then also from a different car? What diameter wheels? Wonder if it would be possible to convert the front macpherson strut to a muti link, or upper and lower set up? The variable rate dampners with controller are sick! Also from SPL? I love that you went from macpherson strut rear to multi-link uppper and lower...So nice! please some details. I know its expensive, but I'm at a place in life to do it...once anyway. Many thanks

If I restored a 240z that’s how I would want it to look. Please post a video it tearing up the streets or track.

Quelle réalisation impressionnante, une véritable oeuvre d'art, BRAVO !!!

Killer job. Like the green accents 🏁

I love all z cars, My love go straight for the 300zx 1990-1996

Amazing workmanship

The builders are masters of the best kind....awesome car but would be nice to hear it run...

Once rebuilded these cars are awesome👍😀

Beautiful car and great job on it but nearly 20 minutes of photos and not a single video clip? I commend you if you watched this thing to the end with jumping to the end.

I got the FEVER baby! Grest job Doug!

I would give my 1st born for a Datsun 280z. Lol I have no kids. All the best Shaun of NYC

What a beautiful build!

Man that turned out so super sweet.ignore the haters there just mad their not the ones behind the wheel.👍👍

Man that rebuild looks mean asf

WITH THAT ENGINE THAT CAR IS A REAL KITE 🚘🚘🚘🚘

Well done man. Mustve been satisfiying. Thr end result💪

Beautiful trailer queen you have there.

Ini baru tontonan,, keren,, otomotif

This build was amazing! My only qualm is that I feel like they killed some of the beauty of the OEM body lines with that rear end; it's just a bit too much for my tastes. Aside from that everything else was tasteful and very well done. Thx for sharing!

Nice build. Shame you kinda skipped over the interior as I’d like to see everything installed and your layout etc. That said, I’m starting my 6th Z restomod but will be my first Fairlady (took 3 yrs to find it abroad) and have my hands full. So just doing my build list now. Interesting choices. Curious how tough or easy it was to retro fit the VQ37VHR into a 240z? What about all the extra sensors needed and such (hence me wanting more inside pics) or did you just grab all the wiring from the VQ car where you got the engine from? If it’s a crate motor - can you share where you got it from or if a donor car - which model? I don’t see you replying to others so won’t hold my breath as I can research and find out myself I suppose. But curious too which trans you used and couldn’t tell what you did for the driveshaft and rear? Stock? I’ve seen more driveshafts implode with LS small block conversions as ppl think these are drag cars. z cars are roadsters made for road racing, not the drag strip! so glad to see you keeping this somewhat tame but am sure it hauls ass. 👍🏻 nice job.

Get rid of the stickers all over it. Looks way better without them. Nice work and definitely more skill in putting something back together than I have!

good!!

Your not human........ I love it

I cried a little at the end lol

Love the work mate

Wow! Cool Z!

Like the plates on that Datsun! 👍🏽

Well done, very clean 🙏🙏🙏

Wow! Nice work and feally like the colors. I build racing quadcopters, and always use this color combo on them. Thanks for the upload.

Fantastic work 👍

just wow

Hey that engine is not for a 240 z I know they could have a v 8 straight engine, But this one looks more like the 300 tt or a infinity engine still twin turbo i mean big turbos, keep up the good work and thank you for sharing

Devil Z "wangan midnight"

Travail remarquable !!!!!

SWEET.

I just wanna say your music are awesome

Sweet! Only thing I’m really not a fan of is the lack of bead rolls in the floor pan.

If you ever plan on making more than 800whp you should look into CJM’s VR head bolt Conversion. I know a lot of guys are having trouble keeping the heads from lifting at big power.

Lovely car. For me though, wheels are a bit big.

Cobra philosophy small car and big, poweful engine... this one is a more lethal approach, small car plus a not so big but very powerful engine

It’s cool

Perfect and perfect

That VQ looks like VR

Omg i love those rims

Very very super cool first car I ever drivenwhen I came ronthe US superb job sir 10stars cheers

COOL!

so the gtr intake do work on the g37s engine just need upper & lower intake

Amazing amazing build very nice very well done the car is beautiful

Great build, But you could've shortened the video by about 5 minutes by removing some of the pics. Also not a fan of the stretched tires on the rear, just doesn't look right to me, But it's your build, and as long as you like it, that's all that matters.

wow. that is a beast!! nice work

Damn that’s beautiful!

video could be a whole lot better but damn is that not a dream car? like holy shit what a combo u got there.

Unreal crazy work thing looks amazing 🐲🐲🐲🥛

Awesome combination!

I’d be happy if they throw the R35 GTR/engine in the new Z model. It’s a proven reliable platform that has been around for a long time now.

took a F/R to F/F. Not what I would do. Plus it throws of the weight distribution of the well balanced original. Still a nice looking build though

I miss my 77 280Z !!

this vs B is for builds 240z :) very cool

Heart &soul..👍

Nice vision, Congratulations on a job well done! ...how does it weigh?

Perfección de auto 👌👌👌👌

absolutely dope

It's nice that you didn't do the typical LS swap.

This person must've had a spare VQ37 laying around.

Everything has potential

What band is that playing?

Mighty car mods will be happy

Very cool car

Just awesome in every way!

I wanna see that Fairlady Z in action!!

乗りたい！✨

A slideshow? Really?

nicely done

改めてこの手の動画見てるが240ZはあってもS30は殆ど見かけないな。

Did you do a full media or glass bead blast before you painted or is it just a float coat. I don't doubt you got a lot of rust out but something tells me you didn't get it all. Either way. Beautiful job on the car. Engine swap looks amazing.
