    I saw this video years ago, when I was about 14 or so and from then on I knew I had to have a 240Z. Last summer I drove 7 hrs from Minnesota to go pick up a Cali car in Nebraska. I have not a single regret in buying my 72' 240Z, moments just like this video have been some of the best of my life! Keep shifting gears, squealing tires, and revving her to the moon!

    Finally someone who drives a Z the way it was supposed to be driven. I can honestly say that this is the most satisfying Z video I have ever seen, 90% of the ones on youtube are just people driving around slow not revving past 3,000 rpm and the rest are walkarounds or burnouts or the like. I own a slightly modified S130 and can't think of a time when I ever drove it gently lol. I can't tell me how happy it makes me to see another Z owner that can throw his car around like me. I wish I lived near you, we could go for a drive ;)

      subtledriver Wrong car. With that said, a Nissan Z car would be more reliable and faster to 88 than the DeLorean would be. Don't get me wrong, I love the DeLorean but fact is fact, any Z car even stock will outperform a stock DeLorean.

  • @subtledriver
    @subtledriver  12 лет назад +2

    @porlando12 , rev past what you feel the next rpm will be at in the next lower gear, time it so it will be at the pwrfect point when rpms fall down and you can shift without shocking the drivetrain before the corner exit. this way you will be in tje powerband and be able to get on the gas sooner and since you didnt shock tue drivetrain you wont unsettle tje car when driving at the limit.

    Had a couple of 240Z's back in the late 80's ,they were the most fun cars I've ever had,one had a built L28 tripple webbers the works and lots of performance / suspension goodies.and was crazy fast.Sold it and bought a porsche 944s and kicked my ass after,just a different type of car.Tried many different cars over the years but nothing as fun as the Z.Just picked another one up this year fully restored track ready L28,"raw sports car" again and I don't think I will ever sell it...I learned my lesson.! Great vid and great driving skills,takes balls on those roads..haha

      I've driven a 944 and afterwards couldn't get it out of my head. I wanted 1. But they are slow as a N/A offering. I also hated the steering wheel positioning on them. But otherwise great little car. I'd imagine a turbo 944 to be a great little car.
      However my first love has always been S30Z's and I just love the L6 in the Datsun's.

    @TheMpruden im running origonal steel wheels with chinese tires. i just added more negitive camber up front, full bushing kit, and tokico springs and blue shocks. dont go lower than 1" with lowering springs, you need shorter strut tubes for that. ask hybridz for wheel info. im not a wheel size expert. im running my rallycross setup now.

  • @jdtiff
    @jdtiff 12 лет назад

    I am 6' 7" and had a 260z (pretty much identical space wise) for years and can speak from experience. With the seat all the way back, my legs were more outstretched than any other car I've driven. Really low driving position. Head room? I used it all up. I think it helps to be on the thinner side if you want to get one.

  • @subtledriver

    No they are manual rack and pinion stock. But you can install a power steering system from a later model z.

    Not much yet. Still running the stock L16 with a 3 speed automatic. I got rid of the old carb and replaced it with a 32/36 DGV weber but other than that everything is running stock. Next on my list is an electronic distributor and a L20B swap with a 5 speed transmission and go from there. Work in progress :)

  • @subtledriver

    @harlest71 This is the l24 that came with the car. It was the victim of my first ever engine rebuild. I installed a maxima head, the compression ratio was bumped up to 9.5:1, 225psi compression check. has a Schneider stage 1 cam, with the valve spring kit and adjusted the rocker geometry. has 6-2-1 msa header, and rebuilt su carbs with sm needles, makes about 150 hp to the wheels (i tuned it on a dyno with wideband). looks like a turd outside, but its well tuned and runs flawless!

  • @subtledriver

    @tsoleht 13 лет назад

    Nice driving, I know from my 72 that these things can be tricky. The brakes can be a bit difficult to modulate, what if any upgrades have you done to yours and what would you suggest. Also, if you haven't yet I would recommend after market steering knuckles. Arizona Z Car makes some that quicken the steering ratio and reduce bump steer. This with some Tokico shocks and struts made my car drive like a dream. Thanks for the great video.

  • @subtledriver

    I rev match between gears, takes practice. its like playing a musical instrument, shift based on sound.

  • @TheRcApprentice
    @TheRcApprentice 11 лет назад

    I wish I had roads like that around here. In the midwest every road that is remotely close to curvy is just a wide 2 lane highway that is jam packed with tractors. They don't last three years before getting cracked up.
    Also, how is the maintenance on the Z? I'm thinking about getting one as a daily driver, but am worried that due to age it will be too much of a hassle. I'm a good mechanic, but I don't want something that's going to constantly be breaking.

    I saw you mention you have a 3.90 differential. I did not think that was the stock 3.36 judging
    from your shifting. I run a 4.11 in my 72Z. Lots of fun but I will be selling it and going to a 3.70.
    The 4.11 is from my old autocrossing days.

    This must be a really well known road, theres a video on "drive"s channel about the Eleanor GT500 Mustang and they go down this same road. Currently the vid is featured on jalopnik, actually, which is how i found it. Your vid at 4:37 is the same spot as their video at 6:39. You guys are lucky to have roads this awesome around.Out here on the east coast there are no mountains to build roads around so they all just go straight.
