I love that Fuller already knew the story about each of the cars and that he actually knew the owners it really shows his passion for the Z 👍
Rob is an absolute legend. Love his passion for the almighty z car
AKA Colonel Zanders
Met him in person at Z Con. Really cool dude just as nice in person. Amazed to see him checking out my car and loving it.
Unless it's a Z31
A cool sir.
Really enjoyed the video! Need more.
Ps: Rob doesn't mean no harm, but someone pls tell him to stop touching so much. Looked like the owner of the black&red Z was cringing. I would hate to see finger grease on my car too, so i could only imagine..
That black and red anniversary 280zx is insane!! I didn't know those even existed
That was an insane model! There was an episode of pawn stars where some guy was trying to sell his but it was in really bad shape and they didn't end up buying it from the guy.
That 10th anniversary is AMAZING! Wow! So beautiful!
Larry , LARRY, Larry, we can all ,always count on y"ou to , find an cover, The Z ! No matter where in the World , you are ! So as a Z Guy ,thank you for all, the Z Content
Another great episode with Rob! I met him at Amelia island. Super genuine and fun to chat with for sure.
I owned one of the 50 replica pace cars in 1972. The 50 were distributed to Southern California Datsun dealers to sell. I bought mine from Redlands Datsun. They painted the top for me in solid blue instead of having the white circle for no charge. Mine was sold without the stickers other than the painted Datsun on front fenders. I still have a couple of Polaroid pictures of mine. Unfortunately I traded it in around 1976. I have never seen one since.
homie just wanted to leave his finger prints on all those gems lmao
I had a 280ZX and then the 300ZX that came after that. Those were fun times in my 20's.
That first s30z!! My god! The best color combo on any s30!! So beautiful!😍
Thank you for showing klassic fabrication and explaining there products!! I think it’s extremely important to know that there are people still passionate about older Japanese cars and making parts locally here to be able to restore and give us hope to save the older cars that practically all of them got crushed due to rust. I can tell you from my experience that there were many cool Toyota and Nissan cars that died because of rust and no parts available to fix them.
Hangin before work with nothing to do, and BAM! 45 minutes of Larry Chen brilliance! Funk yeaaaah. 🤙
Dude! Linda Williams is my dad's cousin. That's awesome her car is in your video!
Larry is in a candy shop. And with the correct person to share the experience too.
And those guys from KlassicFab, they're awesome for what they're doing.
I love the pace car. I didn't know about that until this video and I do a lot of Z work myself. BTW I love Klassic Fab JDM/ KV vintage panels. They make restorations a breeze!
I love Nissan the Skyline the silvia but the Z has always had a special place in my hart, my dad had a 240Z when i was a boy and i loved the way it looked, to me it captured the essence of what a sports car should be. I hope and pray that the new 400Z be my first New car
Larry, those ZX T-top shades do not suction to the glass. The tops had two plastic bosses that the shade screws in to.
Fun fact: Those fuel gauges with the secondary needle for the last quarter tank was highly accurate. You could run it down to the last pint.
The best Z is the Z you have! Mine is a 86 300zx owned for 30 years. Hello from Chattanooga Tn.
We enjoyed the trip down 'Z' memory lane to date. Personally I think the 2024 370z has lost that special drivers feel that makes all 'Z' owners very happy. Thanks for sharing.
Hiw did I not know that this was in the Springs? I live 45 minutes away and missed it all! Bummer!!!
41:43 What an inspiring amd powerful qoute, the 400z gives me hope not only for the next generation of Nissan but the entire industry as a whole.
I just inherited my Mother’s 1986 Nissan 300 ZX - it’s all original and in great shape - she is 85 and bought it off the showroom floor from Oxnard Nissan .
KlassicFab really does make the best aftermarket replacement metal out there.
I could listen to rob all day to be honest
Love love Lary and Rob! I just want to hand out with you guys anywhere with Z cars! Keep the awesome content coming Larry! When I was very young my dad had a friend with a 240Z and I fell in love right away! It was orange and he took us for a ride. That was all it took for me. I have had a 200sx V6 and a 350Z! I only hope to own the new Z one day!
Wow. Perserving history for real. I always love these cars. I thought i knew alot until i seen this video. Great job guys. Thanks✌
This is it !! Make no mistake where you are.. Datsun for LIFE, boi.
Larry! Get that Primadonna Z on the show! Build Biology
I can listen to Rob and Larry talk Z for hours.
Primadonna Z, is my favorite. Widebody EVERYTHING
that radio was a Hitachi!!! LMAO...like a rice cooker...I remember my 280ZX with that radio!!!
Day after Christmas , my 3rd time watching...because you and Rob are so Z focused and like me intently S30 focused. Its like listening to your native language ,talking about a favorite Sports Car!
Wait it's not LIKE it, that's exactly what it is !!!
I never tire of Rob and Larry and the S30..... Maybe someday, but I can't see that far into the future !
Thank you for this, what a group of amazing vehicles. Z cars are boss af. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
And Rob is singing Don McClean Miss American Pie. Let’s go Rob! U
Woulda been nice to go to ZCON this year :/ .. Loved the video Larry, keep them up!
I just smiled for 42 minutes and 41 seconds.
I just love this!
:21 That's my R32 GTR. Thank You Larry.
Very true! He did my build and tune on my 03 350Z Stillen Supercharged and almost 2 years now with stock engine and runs strong. As a matter of fact hurt feelings last night on a Challenger R/T and stage 2 STI when all they saw was my tailights:)
Well alright I see you Kenny Loggins. Music he’s sing is period correct along with these 80’s Z’s👍
Loves these z cars here brings me back. N da new ones too . Ya hook this vlog up. . Wait 12 miles on that red n black on da 12 miles only . Da owners is so clue . N his car history . All da details still in tact so cool.
I'm surprised no one has offered to laser scan some of these original cars, no less Nissan coming back to reclaim them for the museum.
Love the new z cant wait to see one in person
Thank you for making this 🙏
I wish I could firmly shake Jake's hand with honor that top shelve work hes done from the parking lot hats off to you sir hats off 2u beautiful job..
The trophy car melted my heart heart which will be 41 in october... great video
Best episode ever! Rob is my hero I hope one day he will touch and help with my 240
I got Goosebumps on that ending
The Z is the best Nissan. I’d pick it over the skyline any day 😬
Best video on this channel yet!
Love seeing the z31s
Thanks for the video and finding that company kfvintage. Finally someone who makes quality parts at a affordable costs for z cars. Hell yeah I can find parts for my 72 z
Great story about the 12 mile 280ZX. I think by now the air that is in it is not 40 years old. How many tires can hold air for 40 years without leaking?
I love seeing you guys together 🤣
Watching this and aligning my 280 and that new Z is beautiful. Hopefully I can snag one when I “finish” this one lol as If that’s ever gonna happen
This is soooooooo my jam!!!!
Great vid guys.
Bought my Panasports from Rob, terrific guy.
amazing cars
Man oh man!
Too cool for school. 😎🤘
That LS Z32 is pretty dang clean, but it needs a 6 speed swap!
Our neighbours had an NA 300Z back n the day, he's not wrong, they were kinda underpowered boats, esp compared to the earlier z-cars (another neighbour had a show 260ZX with the JDM plastic over the headlights, braided leads, chromed everything, etc etc)
I really like the ZX but the 79 and up Zs lost the sports car feel and went for the plush. Still a beautiful gem.I remember doing the PDI on both anniversary ZXs that Doug Williams brought in 83.
I’d even feel weird having the sun baking that black and red (new) 40 year old 280zx. I’d have had that under a shade lol that interior probably just dying to crack from the age alone
Those blue seats though 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Wish i were there at this event 😮 with my 370Z NISMO 2013
I love them things. If I had my choice of any of my past rides. The early 240 60 or 80 would be my choice. Iv had like 8. Granted some were so rusted out you could find your way home by the rust dust it left behind. But now Even one of them would make me happy. I have the skills and knowledge to do a Resto Mod. Damn I miss Niles. Anyone who's had a Z will know why I named my F.I. 280 that. I actually used to beat the hell out of this guy who had a late 70s Vette. The road had a fairly good balance of straight and curve just not enough quite enough straight there at the end . But like I told him. When he would get mad and ask. How the Hell are you beating me. He had the Vette but just didn't understand that Good tires. Knowing your cars braking ability a Independent Suspension and Horses are better than just Horses alone on a road course type race. I'd hear him behind me that straight axle suspension about to let go of the road. Hit the Apex Brake late come out hard and bring a pair. Was always my answer.Honestly another driver might of got me but the sound his rear tires made as he tried to close told me probably not. The poor man's Ferrari.
Not a Z32 fan and also an oem purist, but that prima car is incredible as far as execution.
That Safari 280 is so bad ass!
I wish I was there so cool 😎
A car staycation😎
at 42:03 can someone tell me where I can find more video footage of this 280zx? Looks SWEET
"We don't outsource any stuff to China or India"
"So where are you?"
"Colombia"
lol
Sounded like the company is Colombian and he is the US liaison
I own the company..Im a US Marine veteran, Im Colombian American, and all these panels are made in my shop in Bogota Colombia...the shop is owned and run by me and my wife...
@@klassicfab, I thank you for your service, sir, but I appreciate your love of Datsun more.👍🏿
@@klassicfab Fair enough! Just the way he was talking I was expecting to hear that it was somewhere in the US
@@FunkingPrink We tried to manufacture our products here in South Florida, we practically got driven out by the county. We set up shop in Bogota 20 years ago, we have been there since..we import into Colombia all our equipment from the US..we try to buy everything from the US...one day we hope to be able to move the factory to the states..
I'm on my third Z from a 72, 73 and now a 75... It's an addiction...
God id love an early Z... it would need four seats though but I'm not a fan of the 2+2 roof line..
He had me until he said ‘original air in the tyres’
Okay Larry, how in the hell did I not see you here?!? You remember a couple weeks ago when I was complaining about Orange Bang not being there? I assumed that meant you weren’t here either.... Dammit man, one of these days we gotta have a beer together and rap about our shared passion of all things automotive
Amazing treasure
These 40 minutes flew by, I can watch and hear Rob talking for hours.
33:00 hey i wanna work there, those parts are incredible looking! and im Bogota Right now!
Off topic question, but for as long and as much as autofocus has been an active channel, why is the outro music still startlingly loud; especially for us headphone users?
sometimes I end up falling asleep and get unpleasantly woken up by it. Like the audio for normal tone of voice is 9 times out of 10 pretty quite, so then we forget after a 40+ minute episode and well, that only amplifies the obnoxious volume of the outro. Please adjust the volume levels or balance them out to more reasonable levels…
Larry needs to go see Jimmy Oaks z32's!
Is the green one in the beginning the same car that auctioned for $300K?
My man breaks out in Kenny Loggins song randomly ~33:45 😂
I was upset when it got posted the other day and I got 15 mins into it and then you deleted it. But now I get my Larry fix!
Now Robs into vin numbers. I brought my 1970 Datsun vin number 1200 hundred and basically called it a pos.
i love rob fuller man ZGOD car hahaha
Original AIR
🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍
kinda like Rob's twin cam heads!
I’m early early
Hope they do re pop panels with troy
The sheet metal guy what was the name of the business? I need some stuff for my Z.
That song at the end?
Where can I find the outro song please
Maybe I’m weird or I know to Americans my z32 is (a factory Tt slicktop) but the vg30dett isn’t that tight of a fit in there although I’m also a ex Vw technician so I’m kinda ruined
What are the best things to do when shooting in broad daylight like this?
