400 WHP 2JZ Swapped Datsun 260Z Rat Rod - One Take
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 май 2016
- This car looks sketchy and dangerous. There are no side windows at all, and shards of glass clank about the cabin when cornering. There is rust, very little paint, and the racing harnesses don't fit right. But underneath that is an incredibly sorted performance car. It's been widened (by the axles, the correct way), and under the hood lives a twin-turbo Toyota 2JZ engine making almost 400 WHP. It doesn't look like much, but it drives unbelievably well. We may have a new "Zero Fucks Given" champion.

"Power assisted?
Little bit."
Best answer for everything! "Are you pregnant? A little bit..." "Do you have aids? A little bit..."
Its clear dude did fuck all building this car. Other than what his " buddies " let him do. But a very cool car none the less. Matt seemed very impressed with it. And he does not get that excited that often. Thanks for sharing guys!
+P ahahaha
random, but why can't they put a muffler or something to make it sound better and more quiet. That would give me a headache.
Not a daily, money better spent elsewhere, less restriction for turbos, 0 fucks, lots of reasons!
One of the best cars on your one-takes in awhile... Love it.
not lying.
completely agree
100%
Hey I know you.....
No joke, this thing is raw
"You and your fucking homies...." lol
"Aaaaah, we're not that kind of homies". Lol
That really got me laughing... lol Matt you must be stoned af on those one takes
I guess his friends were with him. lol
That had me laughing as well.
Same here
Props to the dude for not LS swapping it. 👏
yep word
I get your point, but their nothing wrong with the LS. It weighs nothing, makes stupid hp with little mods, its a solid and reliable platform and cheap to modify and can be mixed and matched in many different ways with other LS parts. No disrespect to any other motors but their is a good reason people swap soo many of them into cars lol.
yea but it was nice to keep it Nissan and the sound of that inline 6, you can never get that from an LS
+omar there's nothing wrong with the LS, but some cars are better served with a motor of a different character. Engines are about more than peak hp per dollar.
+mzondi1970 it's a 2jz... So a Toyota, not a Nissan, but still Japanese!
It's like the Rotsun, only it runs properly and it works. So not really like the Rotsun. XD
And has a crankshaft in 1 piece
I have never seen anyone break a crankshaft in my life. It's good we have RoadKill . There's always a first time for everything.
And the door isn't held shut with a shed door latch.
@ John West
haha nobody had till Roadkill.
It's also not as rotted as the Rotsun either!
love it, proper car that is all about the drive, and absolutely nothing else. pure
^ You clearly are ignorant and clueless, I almost feel bad
+Max Power What country are you from?
I want to hear from him. Unless he's scared.
It wouldn't ruin the experience to toss a coat of paint on it.
+Jeff K You have to look beyond the cosmetic to appreciate the beauty of this car. Sure, it would look nicer with a lick of paint but that's not the point. It would be like painting a tomahawk missile in 5 coats of candy apple red, it might look purdy but it doesn't need it
Seriously one of the best episodes that car is awesome
Awesome? how? It's literally a piece of shit on wheels.
+bigpotpoker1 Matt clearly has fun driving it and his reactions to it make this enjoyable.
Breathin' Slow sure no doubt.
who the hell cares about the paint job? its whats on the inside that matters
Because you can see Matt is enjoying himself so much, and if he thinks it's a fun car it probably is. Just because you think it looks like 'a piece of shit' doesn't mean it's bad ;)
This video looks like the most fun you've had in a while. Your grin almost never left. Major props to the owner and his crew. Quick. Fast. Well-balanced for carving the roads. Who doesn't want to own a sleeper like that?
heart dropped when i saw the title, brb gonna watch it
yep i want one
Okp
Did you put respek on the Z?
i can build u one just transfer 20k to my paypal friend
Yeah, totally not a scam
Being born and raised in WA, the fact that he doesn't have wipers confuses me. It must really rain that little in LA. The car is the definition of what I look for in this channel: unique, loud, prepared.
It rains about five or six times a year here, always between December and March.
I live in Seattle, and the wiper blade on my Murcielago snapped off a couple months ago while washing it. Since the replacement was $1000 (seriously) I took off the entire assembly and ceramic coated the windshield. So far, so good!
I did the same thing for my A-380. It cost significantly more to coat, but my pilots thank me for it all the time.
i did the same with my 747-400....
i live in LA and my car hasnt had wipers in three years. just keep a window wiper in the pass seat when it rains and reach out the window and wipe it off. not that hard...
Damn that fuel pump would annoy the shit out of me lmao
Same lol. Usually cheap pumps or failing pumps make a lot of noise - though I doubt it's failing.
Yeah it sounds like it's hard mounted right to the Trans tunnel
Kenny Downs Glovebox, LOL.
With the loud muffler, you can't even hear it anymore. But yeah, it was annoying in the beginning.
You will hardly hear it, of you drive it properly ;)
I love this car!
I think 'the smoking tire' show would be even better if you did a walkaround and talked a bit about the cars with the owner before or after the run, just my opinion. Great show non the less, thanks.
A classic "dont judge a book by it's cover" car, excellent job on the audio and video quality TST
If it looks, sounds, drives like shit, it's prob shit.
But it looks cool, sounds insane, drives pretty well, so it's probably pretty awesome.
+bigpotpoker1 the aesthetics are an opinion so it's debatable but it seemed to handle pretty well in the video and the 2j sounded pretty good, but I guess that's an opinion too. You wouldn't hate on the same sound in a mk4 supra
+Jack Truitt and all it really needs is a paintjob
additionally possibly a bit of interior
BelviGER the whole car is shit. just bc it has a lot of HP doesn't make it a great car, I guess it does to 80% off this channel. But seriously, the car is fucking shit.
I would daily drive that thing.
***** They need to hear me hurt the environment haha.
+archinuk417 hahahaha you're an ass😂😂😂
Not once you feel the steering.
You'd need a hearing aid by the time you're 40.
***** Depends where you live, I wouldn't daily drive without power steering.
You can tell Matt hasn't had that much fun in awhile.
Real life Mad Max car if I've ever seen one. 10/10
check out @mightycarmods series of their Mad Max build. it's awesome!
check out @MCM series of their Mad Max build. it's awesome!
I suppose, but at least this one is "street legal" :P
However you had your mics set up for this video was perfect. If that Z is as loud as you said it was in the video then I am seriously impressed. I could actually hear every word from you AND the owner and there was the least amount of droning going on I've ever witnessed in these videos. Keep up that good work!
As far as the car is concerned... its fucking rad! I agree with the new Zero Fucks Given title; I know a lot of people who would be butt-hurt about a toyota engine swapped into a nissan platform but it just plain works. This car takes smiles per gallon to a whole new level. Awesome build and kudos to those who built it. It sort of reminds me of Mighty Car Mods' V8 Silvia but less death-inspiring. Hopefully more rides like this 260z make their way over to you for more one takes like this.
I had the wired lavs set up but did not pull the audio from those. They were both way blown out. The best audio track came from the Zoom H4N internal mic, same as for the other cars.
It still amazes me the way he'll drive some random guy's project. I'm not taking anything away from the guy who owns this car; I'm applauding Matt for trusting him and others and then driving it the way he does. Awesome car!
What? judging by all the random shattered glass around the guy has a lot of attention to detail.
Just pieces of character! :D
...I've tried to get information about any types of pre inspection these cars go through before slinging then around the mountainside...can't get a reply...just hope TST doesn't become some Internet tragedy meme because of an untorqued bolt or preventable failure...

Everyone wants to bitch about "supposed" audio issues and why Matt didn't do yada, yada, yada, but he's genuinely putting his trust and life in someone else's hands....on a fucking mountain lol. I've never understood the people on here and their incessant bitching, just give credit where it's due
See folks... You dont need a million dollar car to bring a big ass smile on your face. 😄
Now THAT'S the fucking CAR. Not that boring ass Benz nobody cares about.
Damn this thing is gnarly. Definitely worthy of a /tuned episode!!
Damn I love 2J swaps, especially on a Datsun
Matt really looks like he is having a blast!! Just smiling and enjoying the car the whole drive! Props on the car, it's great! Nuts how a Dutsun and a 2jz complement each other so well👌🏼💯
Matt, I watched a LOT of your videos trust me but I don't remember when you had SUCH a smile and fun driving a car from the last time. Live your passion.
This car is obnoxiously loud and totally busted. Seriously it's a complete shitbox.
.
I LOVE IT.
AND that's the fastest I've seen him push a car too 😂
LA engine with an Oakland Body
Been watching these one takes off and on for about a year now and this video has to be my favorite so far. Keep em comin Matt. Thanks
these one takes have been great the past 2 weeks and this one takes the cake. thanks matt
as till a work in progress, but hey good job Matt for reviewing stuff like this.
audio wasnt bad... heard every word... badass Z!
One of my favorite episodes! Love it when Matt's expressing genuine, unbridled enthusiasm. Damn this car sounds awesome.
You can tell alot about how much you were smiling. Glad the compliments kept flowing. You made this guys day and his friends. All that hard work paid off guys. This thing is awesome.
Do you have these people sign some kind of waiver before hand? In case it breaks while you're driving it
No
matt is like a beta tester, a broken car is one that needs to be improved :)
2JZ parts are expensive though
cheaper than rb trust.
Do you carry non-owner's insurance at least?
I just watched this twice, back to back. Great fucking car and episode in general.
This was an awesome one, Matt. You really liked it, you were feeling it. That's cool. I don't think I saw you swear as much as in this one. Awesome car. Always loved this body shape, and this one is done right.
this video was a pleasure to watch. nice car,nice swap, humble and chill owner. and a car that is mainly focused on the driving feel rather then looks. You can tell matt really enjoyed this one
this is the kind of cars i love watching
Okey, this makes up for the yesterday's boring Benz :)
Yeah, what a bland vehicle it was..
+Bunka Fas they're all about refinement, it's one of the most luxurious driving experiences you can get for the price these days. It's not intended to be a loud race car
Braden .J
Sure, but not what you'd call fun. I have more fun in low hp but basic rigid cars then I do in refined GT cars tbh !
except he posted two Benz's. The cls and the c-classssssss
Matt!! You've done well with this one my friend.
Yea a 488 GTB is badass, but this? THIS IS PURE WIN!!!
Such effortless rev-match downshifting by Matt - love it
Lmaoooo this is the happiest I've ever seen Matt
One does not simply build a car like this without the fucking homies
by far one of the best car's i have seen you review! CRAZY!
Matt Farah is the fucking bomb! Lmao "you and your fuckin homies have done well here!" Had my dying. Great when he gets excited about a good car. Usually he's more reserved so when he comes across a car he really enjoys you can see his excitement! Good stuff, keep them coming!
Obviously you put a lot of money into the cosmetics lmao!!!!!!!
I do like the car tho! Nice build! Nobody cares about the looks I prefer what's under hood!
function over form. Will leave the tilted wheels thing to the ricers.
+TheSmokingTire Wow. I truly think this is my favorite home-built/engineered builds on One Take, so far. Bravo. Bra-fucking-vo!!! Matt, would you rather it have a smaller diameter steering wheel with power-assist on this ride? How do you think it'd do on the track? Or, is it more suited for the canyons, or what? Good job on the audio, considering the lovely noises that thing makes.
I don't like cars without power steering unless they are like 1500 lbs. A smaller diameter wheel with power steering would make this car much more enjoyable to drive for anything more than like 15 minutes at a time. I wouldn't go anywhere near a race track with this thing unless he installed a cage with real seats and real harnesses.
Judging by the nervous laughs from Matt after giving it only a 1/4 throttle this car must be a blast to drive! Well done by the owner I like the way you did things ... keep these eccentric rides coming Matt I'm loving them! makes your channel very unique... u never know what to expect on a one take these day and thats a good thing ... Cheers!
I just can't believe it doesn't rub! I've paused the video 10 times on the side profile of the car and can't believe it doesn't rub. Awesome!
My dream car right there
Upvoting before I even watch the video.
Iv always loved this car! Same exact engine setup as I have in my 240sx drift car! Makes decent power on the stock twins now but a single turbo is in the works ;)
Sweet car! Can never go wrong with a 2Jz, That road looks awesome as well!
If it was an LS the internet would hate it.
the internet hates it now lol
well it would be the 99999th LS swap.
At least the 2jz is Japanese and an inline 6 like the motor it replaced... Mind blown
Because LS swaps are the easiest projects you can do.
+Hear That? an ls swap is definitely not the easiest thing to do. might be easier than swapping in a motor with a turbo but I wouldn't call it easy
What exhaust was he using? just a straight pipe headers back??
I have a GE in my IS300 and id love to get a great sound but most of the straight pipes i hear are just like shaking a tin can of steel balls...
So far the best sound ive heard retained all 3 cats...
THIS however, sounds BEAST!
3" straight pipe
I had an HKS catback with a generic catless mid-pipe off eBay on my IS300. Sounded like a proper 2JZ, got a lot of compliments. The HKS system was not cheap or easy to find unfortunately, but worth the work in the end
Because it's not header back - it's turbo back. Big difference. Straight piped turbo engines are really fuckin loud, but sound cool. Straight piped non-turbo engines are even louder, and sound like shit. The exhaust has to flow through the turbine(s) on a turbo engine, which intercepts some of the exhaust sound.
This is by far one of my favorite one takes. Great stuff
Easy to tell Matt's having a blast!Great build and in three months!
It's what's inside that counts. Love this car!
Glass..
That's what she said
Al Borland Holy shit its Al Borland! Nice to meet you, sir.
+paradoxdesigns My pleasure!
said no woman ever lol
but I agree when it comes to cars.
how in the hell does that rear not rub??
lol, welded struts? hmmm?
there's actually quite a bit more than you think cut out of that fender. the subframe helped him a bit too, he's pretty active in our Datsun community
yo, ive never seen work like this before! You've just added a new definition to "rat rod" !! keep up the work man!!
Great video. I love seeing builds that actually end up working out. Extra cool for me because I never see these on the road where I live
Greatest 6 cylinder of all time.
Let the debate begin:
no debate needed, any six can be a good six.
Is the rb26 6 cylinder but if I had and choose, 2j because how easy it to modify
No debate, it's a fact
Nope. The 2jz was bred for glory.
+BurnDuration i can't lie, my dream car is and Mazda rx8 with a 2j, if it sound fuck up because it is fuck up, and my other dream car is and r34. But they aren't in the us yet
little bit mad max in there
rat != mad max
A 2JZ just makes me so happy, it's insane. What a magnificient car, I could listen to it roar all day. Thanks for making my day Matt, wow.
2JZ > life
Best video in awhile. I love your videos but I watched this one all the way until the end. It's nice when you drive garage built cars. Not taking anything away from the exotics because I love them also.
This is why Tesla will never be as special.
Matt, Corban sold his RX-7 awhile ago.
yea, and now he put a turbo on a Rolls Royce
cars still around though....
I haven't seen Matt this happy in a long time. Made me happy!!
No dislikes so far!
If this gets a dislike, fuck This WOrld!!
It has 4 now :(
and these people need hunting down and shooting. A lot ;-)
147
He should just clear it over what he has left of the base coat might look neat lol
Awesome car, great review Matt, I love your enthusiasm. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the video.love it when u really enjoy the car! you weren't talking as much as you normally do just a really big grin and flooring it!! Nice 😎😎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👌🏽👍🏽
That thing would slaughter that RX7..,
Actually, going to a modern single twinscroll turbo adds power to the whole rpm range and it becomes much better, more responsive than that old twinturbo setup.
people usually just bang on a larger single scroll turbo = more lag and torque is higher up in the rpm. Farah's probably digging the fact that the old school sequential set up = lower down torque and boost from 1 turbo so you dont have to wind it out as much.
Yeah, twin scroll is a nice setup. Larger displacement engines that have small turbos that come on early and keep a flat torque curve are pretty great too.
best one take yet, you looked like you really liked the car got me smiling
This is great! Matt going from a new C300 Merc to this ZRatRod! This project is great and I would love to have it!
amazing, congratulations america to let people do this to their cars, amazing really... would prefer this car full of character to any im rich car any day...
Big, growling, angry I6 and then just a little *choo* lake a baby sneezing
The car is done now, looks fricken awesome. You should do a follow up episode!
Hands down ABSOLUTE favorite car ever done on One Take. And review as well, smiling the whole time, cracking jokes and having a blast. This car is the very definition of "smiles per gallon". I'd fucking love to drive something like this. The owner is super chill too.
Matt why not wear those clip on mics?
He has before, I bet they fall off more wearing them because he's constantly moving. I'm sure it's tough setting up and tearing down for every car, but I think gaffers tape would solve 90% of the mic on visor issue! LOL
They aren't as consistent. They pick up rubbing, fabrics, and peak out much lower than the Zoom internal mic
Get some helicopter headphones ;-)
This guy is not wrong, lol. For these type of cars, having a set of helicopter comms wouldn't hurt, lol.
"It just kind of developed into a ratty car"
Translation:
"I ran out of money and just said fuck it" hahahaha
This is a wonderful episode. The emotion, the car, and the combination of manufacturers' parts etc
"I wanna see what happens at the first corner!" *EXPLOSION**
Would love to race it with my ratty datsun
I would be down.
+Roland P. that'd be awesome. where you at?
+Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage central California near Turlock
Roland P. cool, got your own youtube channel? Find my channel and leave a comment about your datsun so when i'm traveling through in california I'll hit you up.
Where is this road located!?
Santa Clarita
+TheSmokingTire thanks a lot man!
This is Bouquet Canyon Rd in Santa Clarita. It takes you all the way out to the antelope valley. Excellent road, I drive it occasionally myself.
+David Peck that's one beautiful road buddy!
Mexico
Haha dont think I've seen Matt be this happy in any other One Take. Looks like some good fun
That thing is SICK, love it, nice build bro --- very good innovation and ideas
hek ya
#bestjdmengineever
Very fun one take to watch. Matt, you had a lot of fun facial expressions through out the video and could tell you were having a great time. . 2:24 hearing the backfire for the first time from "uh oh" to "oh cool" . haha and 7:03-7:13 just seeing you amazed by the power coming from this ratty old car. Fun to watch. I can only imagine that you had the same 1st impressions as most of us. After seeing the walk around I was expecting a death trap with a really sketchy ride, mediocre power, and really bad handling characteristics. Since the car far exceeded your expectations it made for a fun one take!
really thought this car was going to rub(especially at rear), glad they mentioned it in video, these roads on the videos are amazing from watching across the pond
Humm...I wonder just how fast this car is??? 0 to 60 in???
0 to 60 is a pointless number unless all you do is stoplight to stoplight racing 60 to 130 on the other hand....
I'd say 5 seconds
***** Point taken...
"a little bit."
If you do the math, the best case 0 to 60 would be 3.1 seconds. In reality, it would be a bit slower for sure.
Rotsun 2.0
Or Ratsun
+Jonathan Milbury true lol
This entire video put a smile on my face. I love it.
What a cool car! I like cars like this, light weight, powerful and loud engine, and the most important part: "RWD". I heard Matt saying "it's a heavy steering", I don't care about that, I had driven cars with heavy steering all my life and, I don't care. Matt, great video by the way. Keep it coming that way. Greetings from El Salvador!
Please give that poor Z a paint job lol
What part is a Z anymore anyway?
The whole body.
That would completely destroy its character.
That's the point genius
if theres no rust its fine
This is probably my favorite review yet. Very unique car with awesome power plant. I want to drive it
i haven't seen matt this happy on a one take for awhile, many smiles :)
Whooshy turbo noises, loud bov, 2j howl, pop and crackle on the overrun.. sounds of heaven right there.
Awesome car!! So much better watching these do it yourself builds than boring supercars.
