Except he drives an hour and a half for an oil change. I'm sorry, I'm thankful towards him for having an appreciation for cars and spending the money to have this one saved and taken care of. But there is still a nerve of mine that gets touched the wrong way when someone can't do there own oil changes. How much of a "car guy" are you really?
Nissan figured if you are losing you should at least have a nice view while losing. Front looks kind of menacing so those rolling up on it think twice before messing with it. Had 90zxtt black on black. I still think this side of italian super cars it is the best looking car normal folks could ever afford.
I understand this guy completely. I had a 93 300zx 2+2 not a twin turbo but still fast. the NA has 225hp while the twin turbo has 300hp and only about 1k to upgrade it to 400hp. I regret getting rid of it because of economic reasons but I had one about 15 years ago when gas was $1.50/gallon. ha there was no problem "topping it off" (filling it 2 the max) everytime. The interior felt like you were snuggled and firm inside the cockpit not tight but snuggled so u felt confident that u had total control of the car especially when were going fast. U don't even have to upgrade these cars. They are awesome in just the stock version. Soon as my priorities are straight I'm getting another one.
Only 1k for 100 more hp. Cant see how you came to that as 400 would mean at least 550cc injectors, boost controller and ecu upgrades. I paid 1000cad for just injectors and the werent top of the line. Ecu upgrade to 400 brake or wheel hp would mean haltech or equivalent. Thats 1500cad+. Boost controller (cheap) 250+cad. Looking at at least 2k usd. But still not too bad compared to other vehicles
The NA 300zx with a manual did 0-60 in 6.7 and a 15s quarter...modern V6 minivans are quicker to 60mph. Manual NA Z's are fun to drive but they're by no means fast. My ten year old Lexus is350 will crack off 5.0s flat to 60mph measured with a draggy GPS logger.
Absolutely mint. Most body kits dont do this car justice. You found one that complements the vehicle well and a color that shows the beauty and architecture of this masterpiece. This is what the 350z should have been. This is what my dream car looks like. The Z32 is so underrated, it's a shame it didnt last longer.
Well said. Fast forward to today, STILL an amazing car, fun to drive and looks incredible. Timeless. I'm trying to find one in Canada right now and it's so hard to track down these beautiful cars.
Who cares if he didn't build it himself, his money that he worked hard for built it for him. This is the best looking Z I've seen being around the import scene for 20 yrs now.
i like the way he speaks about his 300z. you can immediately tell he is not a general car enthusiast, but a one-off love with his 'z'. i bet if he fell in love with another model or brand, that car would be very lucky to have him as an owner. reminds me of that disney's herbie kinda-love. man and machine connected.
Beautiful job on a great car. Mine is a 90, and in the garage for a long time now, sad, but I have just a little more to do. Twin BBearing turbos, 550 injectors, 440hp at 17psi on pump gas. Twin disc carbon fiber clutch (awful hard to drive city, but holds real good), Porsche speed yellow with black front, yellow and black leather inside, Kirk roll bar, stop tech brakes, tuned exhaust sounds great... It is an antidepressant car. Soon as I started driving it to work, stopped taking antidepressants!! Silly toy? Or magical wonder? I'm 68, still into it. Just needs to stop raining (Seattle) and I get out there and finish the few more things....then hopefully back on the road. Currently driving a Turbo z31, love that one also, but it's not antidepressant, just a great daily driver. 300 ZX forever!
Absolutely gorgeous Joe. She looks perfect. Im a purist when it comes to the Z. There is not much I hate more then seeing this beautiful car riced out with god awful body kits and equally hideous front bumper covers. But in my mind I have always thought that maybe some day, IF I could find the right metal fabricator I would have him make me new front and rear wide body fenders the way Nissan could have. But I must say, I have just seen on my screen what up until now I've only seen in my mind. I completely relate to your feelings and what JoZ means to you because I feel exactly the same about mine. She is a 95TT, I have had her since 96 and will have her till the day I die. This video is now 6+ years old so I don't know if you will even see this post. But I pray you and JoZ are still making beautiful engine music together
Such a beautiful car! I just bought a 1990 300zx NA last week. I've been waiting to buy it for a few months, and i would watch this video about once a week just dreaming about it! I hope to make mine as beautiful as JoZee some day haha.
Not sure which, but Lamborghini Took the headlights straight from the 1990 300zx and just covered the bit of glass that said "Nissan" on it. Literally they paid Nissan to use the headlight model
absolutely beautiful. money well spent. its truly an amazing car. i bet you wouldn't trade it for the world. my hopes for the future is to build one just like it.
Beautiful car. I'm considering getting a 350z...But if I was going to get a project car from the 90's, i'd get a 2nd Gen Toyota MR2. I really look forward to having a Z and an MR2 in my garage one day.
Wow this video is just amazing and inspiring! This whole week I've been deciding if i should sell my 300zx or not because its so many problems and i felt i couldn't deal with it anymore. But after seeing this video, now i know i cant sell it. The z is truly one of my dream cars. now i see that owning one of these cars isn't easy. But I have to live through the struggle of its problems... And one day i will be so glad that i chose to keep the Z.
I'm only 16 and soon I'll be able to get a 300zx. worked so hard , and finally soon I'll be owning a Z sorta like this . amazing how hard work pays off 😊
I'm sixteen too and but I bought my Z about a year ago, I got it for $400 because it was a project car and it might be done before Christmas... I work at on it at my dad's shop,.... are you buying yours already built are you going to build yours?
Nice bro ! well i got mine for $1000 because bought it off my dads friend and he was nice enough to give it to me for cheap . and the Z needed nothing and extremely clean inside and out so I was lucky for that . Im just planning to do some engine mods and soon and maybe throw in some work wheels with some wide tires 😊 and so nice to know that someone my age is so into the Z32
After building plenty vg30dett's I can tell you that the best mod anyone can make is to lighten the rotating assembly! You would be amazed at the responsiveness and speed with which the engine revs and what an incredible difference it makes to the whole personality of the car.
Never knew this video existed till seeing Donut Media's engine comparison - What a gem. I always knew these cars had potential - And its absolutely been proven. Hella sick 🔥
Holy shit. What a video. I must say that is the most beautiful Z32 I've ever seen. I love the widebody, which is extremely surprising for me because I HATE wide cars. She is gorgeous all over. the rear and front "bumper" areas, the spoilers, lights, that unbelievable color, and virtually all of that interior, especially that steering wheel. And that is probably the very first time I've ever liked scissor doors on something other than a supercar. Fucking awesome way to express your feelings about a vehicle, and that's a hell of a way to pick out a name for her!
Joe, I love My Z more than almost anything I have too. I have been stuck in the closet for way too long. After your video, I decided NOW is the time for me to come out to my family. Thank you for giving me the courage! I thought I was alone.
The 300Z is the fairest of them all. they are wonderful cars for track/daily. Saw one pushing 2k HP thing was insane. I wouldn't want it though. to much maintenance. Would def take the one in this vid though. Beautiful car. Props man. i dont normally like cars that have been modded but you sir have done this car just.
this is honestly my dream car to build, but with a rb26 swap and awd conversion. How the owner built his car is very similar to how i want it. Nice build!
I'm still watching this video... I owned a 93 2+2 pearl white in high school days. Master cylinder leak almost killed me when my breaks caught an air bubble while I was approaching an exit off the freeway. The exit turns 160 degrees or so at a steep incline with ditches and palm trees on both sides. I turned the wheel so hard the rear end started coming around and I pulled the E-brake. I did a 360 degree turn going 70mph and came to a complete stop. Still, I want another Z. Then I want it to look like JoeZ
Absolutely flawless beautiful car man, im in the same boat 10 year build, you went to the right guys Greg and Seb are the best there is period. Congrats on finishing your ride nice work!
No one is talking shit about the Lambo doors, because they fit the car. Not to mention the Z32 donated it's headlights to the 99-01 Diablo. Call it fair trade.
No wonder the legacy of Italian sport cars fall in love with NISSAN ZX , I had this car in old days fallen in love too. it was 1991 Twin Turbo black edition. I give it a way because of cost " I am not a rich man" too
I don't know what to choose! I want to save up for an EVO X but there's a 300zx that I could buy now! Both are my dream cars I will strive to have in my car collection one day.
The amount of dedication and passion this guy has for his car is just the pure definition of car guy. Just awesome, great ride and cool guy.
+MrStreetballer5 yep i agree... BUT THOSE DOORS.... :(
Dude is real down to earth
Blackout TwiZt dude is down to pay people to make his car nice
Except he drives an hour and a half for an oil change. I'm sorry, I'm thankful towards him for having an appreciation for cars and spending the money to have this one saved and taken care of. But there is still a nerve of mine that gets touched the wrong way when someone can't do there own oil changes. How much of a "car guy" are you really?
@@vr6exy_mk3 Fucking oath. There are car guys and there is this type of car guy. He's better suited to eurospec cars.
Oh my... that engine and turbo noise though... He's not lying when he says this 300ZX is a jet fighter... One of the best I've ever seen...
The 300ZX has such a timeless design, it still looks great after all these years. I would gladly own one.
till this day
This one, in particular looks fantastic because of the cosmetic updates/modifications.
This looks so SUPER CAR! The new enhancement of the original design is just amazing.
The back of this car is amazing. Gives you something nice to look at as you struggle to keep up
Yung Devo 😂

Fellow NA owner here it’s 222hp not 225.
Only 1k for 100 more hp. Cant see how you came to that as 400 would mean at least 550cc injectors, boost controller and ecu upgrades. I paid 1000cad for just injectors and the werent top of the line.

The 300zx really isn't a body kit car
Well said. Fast forward to today, STILL an amazing car, fun to drive and looks incredible. Timeless. I'm trying to find one in Canada right now and it's so hard to track down these beautiful cars.
From time to time I come here and watch this video, one year passed, and again, I'm here to watch this video, i love the car and the story!
Who cares if he didn't build it himself, his money that he worked hard for built it for him. This is the best looking Z I've seen being around the import scene for 20 yrs now.
Serious inspiration to me as a 1990 2+2 owner. I'm not rich, i work for what i got. this man took that and made a masterpiece with it.
Wow 😳 that’s the best Z I’ve seen and probably the cleanest engine bay on the planet 😍 props to you and your dedication!
Great love story. Makes me cry, miss my Z !!!
Me 2
Why cant you change your own oil though joe its not tough?
JoZee is gorgeous! I couldn't help but notice the grin on Joe's face when he mentioned "the road trip"!!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Nice story behind the build, love hear about this kind of connection with a man & his car. Can't wait to build my car.
i like the way he speaks about his 300z. you can immediately tell he is not a general car enthusiast, but a one-off love with his 'z'. i bet if he fell in love with another model or brand, that car would be very lucky to have him as an owner. reminds me of that disney's herbie kinda-love. man and machine connected.
Hands down the best Z32 ever created......well done my man.....
Over the past 6 years I've watch this video a million times. Hail to the 300zx. Epic story.
Hands down the cleanest Z32 I have ever seen.
Literally one of the best Videos on YOU-TUBE in my personal opinion.
Beautiful job on a great car. Mine is a 90, and in the garage for a long time now, sad, but I have just a little more to do. Twin BBearing turbos, 550 injectors, 440hp at 17psi on pump gas. Twin disc carbon fiber clutch (awful hard to drive city, but holds real good), Porsche speed yellow with black front, yellow and black leather inside, Kirk roll bar, stop tech brakes, tuned exhaust sounds great... It is an antidepressant car. Soon as I started driving it to work, stopped taking antidepressants!! Silly toy? Or magical wonder? I'm 68, still into it. Just needs to stop raining (Seattle) and I get out there and finish the few more things....then hopefully back on the road. Currently driving a Turbo z31, love that one also, but it's not antidepressant, just a great daily driver. 300 ZX forever!
Cool car, cool owner too. I've wasted so much money on my car but this made me feel better about it. It's an expensive hobby.
Hobbies keep us sane. :)
how much would a project like this cost?
oscar vital for that mods with his specific car easily over 20 racks
fuck man i was hopping maybe 10 but 20? fuck thats expensive thanks tho
Duncan Vance i bought my first car its a 240sx s13 and the old owner installed at sr20DET engine in it its body is horrible tho
Who dislikes this video? Even if you don't like the car the passion he has for it, and the work he put in is awesome.
I've seen this video maybe 8374738393 times...
Nice car, apart from the scissor doors.
And the steering wheel straight from the 90s rice scene.
about to say man, this car looks so nice besides the lambo doors and ricer steering wheel.
i mean you guys want to make fun of "ricey" mods but not alot of people have $20k to put into a car. including 2000 dollar lambo doors
$2000 try $50 or $100
I like the steering wheel
This is my favorite z I've ever seen. I love it
That's the most beautiful 300zx ever and an even more beautiful love story *tears of joy*
Absolutely gorgeous Joe. She looks perfect. Im a purist when it comes to the Z. There is not much I hate more then seeing this beautiful car riced out with god awful body kits and equally hideous front bumper covers.

But I pray you and JoZ are still making beautiful engine music together
That is a beautiful and well put together machine.
that is one mean ride jozee...engine work is off the hook and the rear end I never seen before. much props...and congratulations on your ride.
Bro respect goes out for both you and your girl !!! You're the only one that deserves this car
Such a beautiful car! I just bought a 1990 300zx NA last week. I've been waiting to buy it for a few months, and i would watch this video about once a week just dreaming about it! I hope to make mine as beautiful as JoZee some day haha.
Crazy how this car shares the EXACT SAME headlights as the later Lamborghini Diablos w/o the pop up units
Not sure which, but Lamborghini Took the headlights straight from the 1990 300zx and just covered the bit of glass that said "Nissan" on it. Literally they paid Nissan to use the headlight model
I believe it was the diablo they used the headlights for
It's good to have a car that you love and it's better, when you know folks who fix your car has the same love and respect that you do for it! NICE!!!
absolutely beautiful. money well spent. its truly an amazing car. i bet you wouldn't trade it for the world. my hopes for the future is to build one just like it.
Damn I wish I had a perfect z32 300zx like this, no huge wing, no huge JZ swaps, no huge decals, perfect, just perfect
I had a 96 Z and loved it have to say i regret getting rid of it for a E46 M3 one day i wish i could build me another! great job
So glad I watched this vid, now I know that I can persevere and get my z running good no matter who says what
I have built many z 350/300 this has got to be the cleanest z I've ever seen beautiful I love everything major kudos to you sir
Look at the thumbnail, it looks so happy
This is easily one of the best automotive channels I've come across. Awesome cinematography, music, and content. Already a huge fan!!!
Its touching to see somebody so passionate about his car, nice !
every few years I watch this and he is right she will teach you love you man! and love you jozee
Love your passion for your beautiful zx. A lot of people don't realise that cars can become part of who we are. Haha 👍
beautiful story! Z love forever. Just got my clean red stock 1992 TT 5pd. Let the work begin
Beautiful car. I'm considering getting a 350z...But if I was going to get a project car from the 90's, i'd get a 2nd Gen Toyota MR2. I really look forward to having a Z and an MR2 in my garage one day.
it's amazing what can be done to these cars, even when they can be harder such low prices. My recent dream car.
one of the cleanest z32's I've seen. beautiful.
Wow this video is just amazing and inspiring! This whole week I've been deciding if i should sell my 300zx or not because its so many problems and i felt i couldn't deal with it anymore. But after seeing this video, now i know i cant sell it. The z is truly one of my dream cars. now i see that owning one of these cars isn't easy. But I have to live through the struggle of its problems... And one day i will be so glad that i chose to keep the Z.
Just picked up one of these twin turbo bad boys. Needs work but none the less it was a steal. Can't wait to get all the mods and body work finished.
I'm only 16 and soon I'll be able to get a 300zx. worked so hard , and finally soon I'll be owning a Z sorta like this . amazing how hard work pays off 😊
I'm sixteen too and but I bought my Z about a year ago, I got it for $400 because it was a project car and it might be done before Christmas... I work at on it at my dad's shop,.... are you buying yours already built are you going to build yours?

nice
After building plenty vg30dett's I can tell you that the best mod anyone can make is to lighten the rotating assembly! You would be amazed at the responsiveness and speed with which the engine revs and what an incredible difference it makes to the whole personality of the car.
I’m looking at getting a z32 now, I wish there was a way to archive/save your comment!
@@Matthew-np9fkbrought you back just in case
@@Matthew-np9fk
Screenshot it, duh
That widebody is awesome bro. Really the whole car is amazing. Be proud!
Specialty Z is THE Z shop. The guys are happy to talk it up with ya if you have questions about mods. They are honest in what they will recommend.
10 years after watching this wonderful video, I still haven't been able to Shazam the background melody....
Never knew this video existed till seeing Donut Media's engine comparison - What a gem.
I always knew these cars had potential - And its absolutely been proven. Hella sick 🔥
nicest 300zx ever. I've wanted this car since 1991
this video inspire me to get a 300zx. such a nice cars. love everything about it.
Holy shit. What a video. I must say that is the most beautiful Z32 I've ever seen. I love the widebody, which is extremely surprising for me because I HATE wide cars. She is gorgeous all over. the rear and front "bumper" areas, the spoilers, lights, that unbelievable color, and virtually all of that interior, especially that steering wheel.

Fucking awesome way to express your feelings about a vehicle, and that's a hell of a way to pick out a name for her!
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE HOTTEST MAINSTREAM CARS. ALWAYS HATED THE SPOILER AREA ON THE TRUNK. NEEDS TO BE CLEANER AND MORE STREAMLINED.
That's my dream 300zx.. close family friends had a really nice one when I was a kid and I've been in love with them since.
beautiful car, glad you saved her.
Joe, I love My Z more than almost anything I have too. I have been stuck in the closet for way too long. After your video, I decided NOW is the time for me to come out to my family. Thank you for giving me the courage! I thought I was alone.
The 300Z is the fairest of them all. they are wonderful cars for track/daily. Saw one pushing 2k HP thing was insane. I wouldn't want it though. to much maintenance. Would def take the one in this vid though. Beautiful car. Props man. i dont normally like cars that have been modded but you sir have done this car just.
all was going good untill the lambo doors but i still love it. beautiful car man congrats.
dude that car specially engine is perfect down to the bolt .just wow
the widebody made me smile so much,
I legitly fell in love
Beautifully done! Sold my Z a while ago. Thinking about getting another one. It's becoming a rare thing to see.
that what am talking about you stuck with MAN and made you dream come true that what you call determination . Much love to JoZee nice Z.
Super clean and shiny. I love this Z. Awesome color choice.
best looking 300 i've seen so far
this is honestly my dream car to build, but with a rb26 swap and awd conversion. How the owner built his car is very similar to how i want it. Nice build!
Beautiful! And I agree with some of the posts..this gen IS the best Z car ever.
I honestly watch this video at least once every two months!
I'm still watching this video... I owned a 93 2+2 pearl white in high school days. Master cylinder leak almost killed me when my breaks caught an air bubble while I was approaching an exit off the freeway.
The exit turns 160 degrees or so at a steep incline with ditches and palm trees on both sides.
I turned the wheel so hard the rear end started coming around and I pulled the E-brake. I did a 360 degree turn going 70mph and came to a complete stop.
Still, I want another Z.
Then I want it to look like JoeZ
still a better lovestory than twilight!
I want to cry, that is my dream car
JoZee
representing #SocalZ32s
A beautiful love story ... : )
That is a really tasteful body kit. The Z32 silhouette is so good that I would always discourage fucking with it, but this one is spectacular.
Absolutely flawless beautiful car man, im in the same boat 10 year build, you went to the right guys Greg and Seb are the best there is period. Congrats on finishing your ride nice work!
Great Job! Your level of commitment is high.
That's was the best looking 300 I've seen
What a cool story and what a sweet car! Great video!
I love the 300ZX, yours look way too good, you had spent so much money on it, is like a dream car to me.... :)
No one is talking shit about the Lambo doors, because they fit the car. Not to mention the Z32 donated it's headlights to the 99-01 Diablo. Call it fair trade.
The best Z ever this is my dream car till this day hopefully next year I will finally own another
Fantastic video. Keep them coming. You guys are the best.
You can tell he is not a married man.
Agree
I guess he has peace of mind.
Yea because if he got divorced the bitch would get the cars
Wouldnt be too sure. This fool has to drive an hour and a half to change his engine oil.....
YES he is.. with that beuty lady Z
The car is beautiful with the exception of the lambo doors.
Td Airoil and the rims
I love your car! Just makes me want to get a Z32 even more now!
Love your car man. I own a Fiat Coupe. Your ZX looks like an upgrade. Perfect sportscar.
i cringed when i see those lambo doors but the cars overall cleanliness makes up for it. to each his own and i love it
Yep, only negative I see. God darn Mexicans lol (I'm Mexican)
Very Nice and yeah 300 ZX has always had my attention
Wow that was great! Amazing & beautiful car Joe! I also have a 300zx & I wanted it to look like this when I fixed it. Amazing Video!
No wonder the legacy of Italian sport cars fall in love with NISSAN ZX , I had this car in old days fallen in love too. it was 1991 Twin Turbo black edition.
I give it a way because of cost " I am not a rich man" too
i like what he said 5:20 he gave me a hope to complete my project and make my 86 supra looks perfect
I don't know what to choose! I want to save up for an EVO X but there's a 300zx that I could buy now! Both are my dream cars I will strive to have in my car collection one day.
From time to time I come here and watch this video
Beyond, its a piece of ART
Beautiful car, beautiful job.
Dedication at its finest
