Men u make me feel happy because I have a 280z and that exactly what I always want. Everybody tells me put 2jz but I always say nope RB26 single turbo. Please give me a link
I had early 260z which looked like a 240 it had 280z engine, cam, weber 6 pack , with velocity stacks, headers, Ansa exhaust and 5 speed trans, also alum mag rims, blue metallic very sweet back in the day !
I’m a Toyota Supra Guy. MK2 to be exact. What the MK2 needed was a 2JZGTE. I proceeded to install one. And it is fantastic. If I was a Nissan guy….. this swap is exactly what I would do. Super Job on that swap.
Thank you for this video. This 240 is nice I love all the work that he has done and put into this car. I love the oval exhaust ! Well thank you for this video
Thee perfect Z by far. It’s exactly how I would build one. Tastefully done no big flares or widebody. Speed is not everything because there’s always someone faster. I’ve owned a 240 and 260 and yes stock they are very underwhelming 😆. I did a 5.0 swap on mine back in the late 90’s from an 89 mustang with 5 speed and that made it really fun. Beautiful car, tasteful build and great video as usual 🤙🏼
They are so light i would never put heavy v8 8n one stay true inline 6 turbo can make as much power as small block and lighter. As not to fuck up balance and handling, v8 makes it to front heavy kills whole point of sports car handling.
@@rt2255 RB26 is about 550 lbs, a couple hundred more than the original L24. An ancient 5.0 HO is around 500 lbs or less, and an LS3 somewhere around 430 lbs. Cast iron I6s (with turbos) aren't light.
the one thing I look for or should I say listen for in a good build is a car with an engine sound that matches the cars visual style personality. This car nails it. Everyone is doing LS swaps in tiny cars which is cool, but they just dont match
Had a beautiful straight rust-free 260z that I bought in the mid-80's for the grand sum of $2250. I put dual down-draft Webers and a header on it immediately, but bought it with the intent of putting a 350 ci SBC in it. Found that it would walk 5.0 Fox-body Mustangs with the L26, nevermind the SBC. Did a little more to it in the ensuing years (L-28, 5sp) and it was so dead-reliable for next 150K miles, I drove it all over the US & Canada (Alaska, even). The beauty of the early Z's, at least to me, were the attainability, affordability, and relative ease of working on them. So while this is stunning, it has none of those attributes. (If I had a cool quarter million to drop on a car, it probably wouldn't be something I once owned for 1/100th the price)
An RB in a 240Z is definitely the way to go if you're chasing the dream. The suspension work is pristine, and an R200 will hang all day with tons of abuse. (More than I can say for factory S-chassis transmissions, but that's another conversation) While the purest in me would love to see an updated L28 with modernized ECU, if you're going to that level of performance, RB all the way. Add: Man, a two-fer?! R33 guy had an amazing story too. Really enjoyed that one.
Which vintage air did you guys use? I am doing a 240Z rebuild but don't have nearly this sort of money. Have mostly done everything stock but I really need to add air.
9:11 I found my 98 Supra with only 30k miles on it, guy said it was MINT and 100% oem condition, NO rust, no issues. But i was not an idiot to just buy it and ASSUME it was legit like this guy, i actually FLEW 650 miles to look at the car, verified it was LEGIT as he said, called the bank, got the check, gave it to him, and rented a U-Haul and drive it 650 miles home .... Amazed by how many people will buy a car sight un-seen and get pist off when they get there and its a POS rust bucket ...
The oval type portion of the exhaust , seems like a DUH why didn't I think of type moment. Imagine the room and clearance vehicles can have , question is, how functional is it ?? very curious to find out.
Should be just as functional. Nascar has been running oval tubing for clearance for many year's and thos cars make a ton of hp naturally aspirated. As long as the inner diameter is the same there should be no change in performance just way more ground clearance. We ran it my uncle's turbo k24 and didn't see any power loss
Can we get a rim and offset/tire spec from the 240? They look a little wider than an 8inch wheel but i could be wrong. been trying to find rims for my 78 280, but I feel as an 8inch tire is too skinny for it. Thanks!
Nice build! But theres so much build info that is crying out to be told. How much metal was replaced after blasting? Tranny a 5 spd? Why go with RB36 eng? Transm choice and why? EFI? If so which brand and why? Has adjustment of fuel/air ratio with the EFI? Rim diameter choice and why? DanaH

Like the low profile and simple approach on this build. Aside from the wheels, fuel tank and exhaust, it looks completely stock.
Rb26 in a z very simple
And the wheels are even period correct
@@drunkpolack7612 That too! Watanabes (or any wheel of that style) suits old zs the best.
I was thinking the same thing. I always say less is more sometimes

No bulging fenders👍👍Stock looking👍👍 Not stock performance😍 Beauty build.

Sounds like a beauty!!!
Why don’t you have it anymore?
Really nice Z, with tastefull mods, right amount of power, its a great build. Kudos for the owner and ofc the builder.
Right on!!!!
Clean, simple, sophisticated, and BADASS!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥 🔥
This thing is literally a dream build for me since I've gotten my Supra, RB powered, clean, simple. Love it!
Would really be interested in a cost breakdown for these builds. This thing is amazing.
Been building a RB25 260Z this past year. With the base 16k car with no rust, I’m in approximately 53k extra on top so far in just parts.
@@ericnguyen6580 😵
If you have to ask you cannot afford it lol
@@rt2255 thats the point
@@ericnguyen6580I’m about $30K in parts including the RB25, and the car is in pieces. 😂
That Datsun is absolutely gorgeous. I love everything about that car
Yessssss!!! I agree!!
This is so perfect. My dream car right there. Throw on some fender side view mirrors and I’ll be set.
Beautiful build!!!!
That sound is just amazing 🔥🔥
DAMN! I miss my old 240Z. Had to sell mine, son was on the way. This video brought back memories. Love it.

I have a soft spot on MK2 Supras, the classic body lines are a time capsule.
Thank you for this video. This 240 is nice I love all the work that he has done and put into this car. I love the oval exhaust ! Well thank you for this video
Pretty sick build, all it's missing is an L28 bored to 3.1L with triple carbs and twin turbos lol.
triple carbs and twin turbos? lol - why leave the supercharger out?
The owner is a winner. Took the project to the right shop I'll tell you that. Thing is beautiful

Killer build 🔥 🔥
That r33 build ❤ and the guy. Super humble. Love it.
Lol Roberto back with rb’s!
He’s never left , now that tommyfyeah is exposed he’s back baby
@@connoisseuroftigolbitts never left rb’s but wasn’t in videos as much after he left HP. Glad to see og berto back. Like your name btw👌🏻
One of the best sounding Japanese engines
Love the stock looking build, Iam glad Foose didn't do the build, Great work!
Beautiful build. Perfect restomod hands down! 💯💯💯
That is one STUNNING Z and that is an AMAZING R33 and then that Ford GT. Well done on all the cars! WOW!
Mighty Car Mods did a GTR swap into a 240 many years ago with a good example that didn’t need restoration.
But good job nonetheless
Insane sound and great looking car. Congratulations bro.
This 240Z is sick! As only having owned Nissans,this is rad and superb!🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
Fitment is spot on.
i like how the turbo sound comes in higher up in the revs
Great looks.. great mods… great sounds..❤
I have the same oval exhaust piping on my RB25 powered FD RX7. It has great ground clearance .
This channel shifted from drag racing to roll racing to now just doing ride alongs and interview of people cars. Damn TRC!
Very Good. Nice Build
Thinks for the info on this Awesome build ... I have 2/ 73 Datsun 240z cars, Starting my Resto soon.
I think I just overdosed on RB goodness here 💀💀💀
Same 😂
Wow. Just, wow! ❤😍💯
I agree!!!
Amazing 240Z
Yes!!! Gorgeous car!!!
Beautiful!
SKUMBURTO Has returned with a BANGER. He's looking better than Tommyfyeah for sure
When hasn't he been better? He build most of Tom's running skylines. Fixed the k miata. Meanwhile Tom just does what down star does or part a car out.
Soo clean 👍
Yep!! 🔥 🔥
Another cool car👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Original 6 stroked to 3.4 , big cam , triples , close ratio 5 speed, definitely needs more supportive seats for how well it handles 🤠😎🎼
WOOOOOOOOOOW AWESOME AMAZING FANTASTIC ! ! ! ! ! !
Stunner.
Fairlady...... So beautiful
Perfect 240Z 👏 👏 👏
@GRANDIS------🕊️ what’s the password
This car is fantastic! I drove a 74 260z in high school. I sold it running but overheating for 700$. I’d love to have that 240
I had 3 of these cars in my life, love them and great job. I always hated the monster factory steering wheel though.
Damn I’d love both of those cars😓
Oh gawd I love it
Same!!
And he kept the oe style wood steering wheel 👍 amazing car
Yess!!!
Love it💯😜
I love it . I want one
I had a 71 240Z, when into the military and my dad sold it....I miss her...my first sports car. I'd do anything to get her back!
The Z cars are gorgeous!!!
YESSS 33 POWWAAAAAA 💯💪🏾😎 GREETINGS FROM JAPAN
The dream build for my 71

Yes, that's the great thing about the stock 240/260/280Z, plenty of easy power to be had with minor improvements.

The sound is really amazing, I wonder how much that oval exhaust has to do with it.
Gorgeous bcnr33💜😈
Did SR Autobodies do the chassis resto? He seems to be the best you can find in the UK.
It looks like it belongs in that engine bay. Well executed.
Damn, is that the JBR Ford GT in the background too??
Moog at Mighty Car Mods is my favorite Datsun with an RB swap

Very Happy Customer.

Daaaaamn! I want
MCM did a white s30 whith the same rb26 that they brought over in Japan..
B E A UTIFUL!
Where did he get that rear strut tower brace?
What a beautiful car. The Datsun 240Z was my very first car I still cursed the day I sold it.

Love this car. Best part is the body isn't cut into with some ugly bolt-on flares. Does the owner have an IG page with the build?
Good lawd.
Nice build! But theres so much build info that is crying out to be told.
How much metal was replaced after blasting?
