Nissan’s Own 240z Salt Flats Racecar That Held a Speed Record… for Almost a Decade!

- Опубликовано: 6 май 2021
- Yeah yeah we know, you or your friend hit 166mph in your mom’s minivan in a grocery store parking lot back in high school. Sure. But in the 70s, a factory fresh car with not a ton of upgrades going 166mph was a real achievement… enough of an achievement, that this very car held a speed record in its class for almost a decade. And now, our friends at Z car garage are letting us drive it.

I love how passionate that guy is about the car. His enthusiasm is infectious.
This is 100% the kind of passion and care you want someone getting into your car with
This dude is rad. Love his energy.
That exhaust is too cool.
It’s amazing that the salt didn’t eat that car, they must have done something to keep it in that shape
Two talented dudes both doing what they love. Savor it boys. You are both living in your own individual bliss. I'm happy for you both. Thanks for sharing the passion. Inspiring.
"The engine looks amazing"
-"yes but these seats"
"the g nose and ducting"
-"yeah but the seats"
"man this thing has some chop!"
-"yeah forget about that for a sec, look at these seats!"
Goldenboy Larry brings the best content!!!! Keep them coming!!!!
Larry: It's so angry!
Me: Yes, yes it is. 😍
@ 1:05 I was like: I think I'm gonna like this guy.
And @ 6:04 I was sure.
What a cool car, cool story, cool dude. Nice job guys!
Being a "Bicentennial Baby" (circa 1976) and ex Z car owner myself, gotta say that must've been a great experience right there. Thanks for sharing.
My first JDM purchase back in the day was a 280ZX. Then 240-260-280 I forget how many. That straight six was so easy to work on 🔧. Still waiting for the GTR R34 to be legal for import to get back into the Nissan game.
Start my morning wit Larry and Rob sharing their passion cr Z cars. Been in this Playlist for a couple days now.
No disrespect to THIS car, but what really hits you if you know your history is how much respect you have to have for guys like Norman Dewis!! That fella went 172 in 1953 in a lightly modified XK120 that was reported converted back to stock form and sold later by Jaguar. Different times...
I cannot wait till you take us to the Nissan museum hint hint
Another amazing Z. I love the way you guys are sharing the Z car gospel. These cars are indeed amazing. Looking forward to the next sermon.😀
I met Randy Jaffe today at Caffeine and Octane. He drive this car to the event this morning. What a treat to get to see this car and talk to this caretaker. Thanks Randy.
I enjoy your guys videos. Thank you for sharing this historic Z.
You guys make this so much fun. Much appreciated.
Awesome content!!! You can really see & feel the passion that Rob Fuller has for cars!!
Easy thumbs up! It's Friday, ZCG, Larry Chen and Nissan's.
Stellar car!! Rob always bringing us along on all the juiciest z cars. Man I need a set of those 44 mikuni’s! That exhaust looks so good! And the seats! Lol
Larry u r a blessed dude.
Wow that's incredible who knew they built that sick!! OH those individual carbs and throttle bodies so amazing
Mr. Larry Chen, please feature more of Datsun videos. Really enjoyed this Datsun series of videos. Would be great if you can feature another Datun 510. Cheers! :)
It's awesome to me because, the 240 is Japan and running the salt is the states. So its a great marriage of the two cultures coming together. Just sick! Thank you for this.
Another awesome Build and story
What a sound!
All through the show I was like OMG, OMG as he takes about everything they did and how original everything is and then they drive it. And the sound is freaking amazing. It brings me so much happiness to know people care so much for these awesome cars.
Wow just wow!🤯
Larry was funny the whole time he was driving lucky guy ge gets to drive cool cars with his job bucket list moment for sure good job Mr Chen
I Have no words, it's Absolutely fantastic, magical, out off this world! I love more my 260 Zeta car, my passion, I can't wait for more a videos!
I want you guys look my z!😊👍
SUCH an amazingly cool, hstoric car! Imagine what a newly built RB26 swapped Z could do with the right builder & driver.
It sounds like an old WWII warbird. I 😍 it!
Love the sound of the mighty Datsun L6!
Randy is a friend of mine and he is the caretaker of so amazing history. These cars couldn’t be in any better hands.
That Sound Was Beautiful 😍
Loving the Z coverage lately
166.023 m = 267.188 k
"Holy wow!"
-Larry Chen, 2021
😁😁😁
Awesome 240z
Great car. I wasnt aware that any of the 70 cars had clear rear hatch glass. My 4/70 didnt, my 12/69 did. Haha the buzzer comment is great. I think many people just disconnect them. They are annoying.
I miss that lovely ☺️ sound L28 god bless
it was nice of Colonel Sanders to let you drive his lovely old Datsun
Larry 240z strikes again
How did they make it sound like that 🤯
Nailed it 🔥🔥🔥
2300 miles barley broken in, i like this guy talking to Larry you can see how passionate about this car
Wow, this is one of a kind......
This dude sounds like a gemarn guy
This guys drip 🔥🔥🔥
I love the exhaust. All restomods who want to keep the original bodywork should do that to have a real dual exhaust.
Go Rob!
My old 260Z used to sound like that thing when it had a hole in the muffler from Ohio winters, just not as lopey with that crazy cam.
The tag on the rear is signed by Yutaka Katayama (Mr. K) and the other signature looks to be Yoshihiko Matsuo, the designer of the 240Z.

Leaded 112?! I bet that's easy to find
coooool
sounds soo good,6-2-1 header?
The level of trust that comes with sitting in the pass seat hoping L.C. can resist the temptation to put the pedal down and hold it there. 😳
Larry please feature the d21 pickup
Thats a chop Zac would approve of.
Isnt there old video footage of the record being set by this 240Z?
Hi Larry!
"this is some real race car shit!!!1"
Definitely PPF this ride
"OMG its so fast" as truck, with a tree on top of it, overtakes him
Yes, Lol🤣🤣🤣
Datsun 240 Z and Honda Crx best JDM’s ever!
KILLA Zila!
You know it’s old when the AN lines are red and blue
12:44 👀
amazing that they could get this to 160mph with the s30 aerodynamics, at 130 the front comes up without a G nose and the back starts to lift hard at 150mph.. who ever drove this was an animal... S30's were so far ahead of everyone else except aerodynamics...
Still not sure how larry hasn't swapped a built L - series back into orange bang after hanging out with Z car garage so much.
You say that very time... I've never driven anything like this
I was thinking maybe that wing is also a 432 part instead of a BRE🤔
Rob deserves “OS24DOHC”
I wonder what rebello knows about this build
Car 3166 says hello 👋
Wow 112 leaded gas! That can't be cheap..
Leaded gas I feel old
Great stuff. But this guy? "163.305." LOL! You could call him a nerd, but most nerds know you don't get into hundreths and thousandths...
Just look at it
👌 ☺
That thing sounds like a little propeller plane.
excuse me but what is that fourth pedal all the way to the left
It's called a dead pedal. It's just there to rest your left (clutch) foot.
@@gustavofigueiredo1798 ahh thanx man!
It's like you guys were picked by Nissan to Rep Nissan,! The New Z is gonna be Rad!
The only thing that could be cooler is, The New Z commercials featuring Z Garage and Larry Chen, carving the Canyon throwback style
That Car took me back to 1993 and my 1989 prelude going 147 mph racing a V8 Camero, from a 60 roll
the exhaust are white powder coated!!!!
Dump it into 2nd man THAT WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR!!!
This is a tin can. A very fast tin can.
It honestly sounds kind of like a modded VQ with that exhaust. Controversial, I know, but hear me out..lol
only bc they're both aggressive with the growl but this is classic inline six music
I hate when people in your position say your SCARED 😨😒😤🤦♂️ LOL HIT IT
Did you just drive an almost priceless race car past a homeless camp?
163mph in the 70's is sketch, safety standards weren't really their
Bolt in cage, super safe
I love how Americans say Kneesahn
This man is always scared to drive everything lol dam dude drive the dam car 🤣
I've been to Robs shop and he was very rude and arrogant. I found him utterly repulsive. I'll never do business with him again
I don't like the livery on that car.
jeez. . . you're letting a mini cooper pass you. Lord. . .get on the gas dude. .then you can say wow 50 times like you did. lol
Larry do you ever stop talking? You ruin every video. How many times can you say whoa. Too much verbal drama!
Nissan never ruled anything..
Not true R32GTR it wasnt called Godzilla for nothing. Even when they was Datsun they was doing bits in IMSA
We need hert to drive the cars, Larry pisses me off 😬😬😬lol you drive like a grandma 👵 never once has this man push a car to full song. A total square bruh I know it’s not your car but the man said your in charge no discount fool and you had a open line. you couldn’t ring it through 2nd & 3rd for the gang.yo who’s mans is this smh 🤦🏽♂️.
