- "I fell in love at first sight. And told myself, I will buy that Z one day.” - Yuchi Katoh
Directed and filmed by: Ken Mitsui
Music: Chris French
During the summer I filmed a short car documentary in Tokyo, Japan. As some of you may know, I’ve always been intrigued by the Japanese sports cars of the 90’s. They were overpowered, affordable, technologically advanced for its time, and each manufacturer were unique in their own style.
In the recent years, many of Japanese car corporations are relying on western engineers to design the outer bodies of their car line ups. In the last decade most Japanese car companies are building their cars domestically in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. All this is becoming a cost effective trend that’s no longer focused on originality, creativity, and craftsmanship.
Yuichi Katoh is an inspiration to the Japanese sports car enthusiasts. Despite extremely high taxes for registering older vehicles. Yuchi continues to drive his Z in the streets of Tokyo.
Thank you Yuichi-san for driving me all over Tokyo until 4 AM. I couldn’t have completed this with out your support from you and your friends.
This is the BEST Z32 I have ever seen... refreshed and modernized. Everything is so clean... down to the bolts. I love my 2+2 N/A... even though its slow it's the best car I have ever owned. One day, my Z32 will have turbos... one day.
Just like you, I started off with a NA 2+2 and it was a lot of fun, no turbo lag, and it sounded better in my opinion. If you can find a 2+2 turbo I highly recommend it over the 2+0 turbo.
Thanks for watching!
Oh Yes, I agree the 2+2 is such a better chassis. I rode in a 2+0 Twin Turbo today and was not impressed by the handling at all. Car felt alot smaller inside too, while the 2+2 feels wider and more supercar like to me. Apparently it had suspension work, strut bars etc and coilovers yet did not feel anymore solid than my 2+2 which only has eibach springs lol. Also felt like the 2+0 had more understeer.. even though I was not driving I could feel it. There was a 2+2 Turbo for sale in my state a while back but I missed it... maby someday it will be available otherwise I will be looking for a clean 5 speed 2+2 chassis to swap. Alot of mechanics I talk to just don't like the Z32/working on them or understand the potential it has.
Currently own a '92 Z32 NA 2+2. Modernizing it has been a challenge, it's true most mechanics will charge extra to work on it, thankfully my uncle is a master and we have been able to get it running nicely..
Laughs in 2+0 tt......some people like fat chicks
@@3linefilms231 you should upload more
I'm only 11 but I have my heart set on this car for when I'm 16 or 17
Keep on dreaming! Save a little bit of money now and by the time you're 16. You'll have the car of your dreams.
Buddy I hope you accomplish your goal. So save a lot!!
Same here man and I’m 22 now have loved it since I was 13 and I’m getting so close to the dream... plus this car needs real enthusiasts to own them not dick heads who reck them and have no love for the z!!!
@@rileynorton3761 im 22 I'm going to buy one today!!!
Only 2 years to go kid 👍
I feel this mans passion so much. I was in middle school in the 90s when these came out too and said the same thing. One day I will have one of these cars.
No doubt the cleanest Z i have ever seen. The Japanese sure know how to take care of their cars and i would love to own one, one day! Even i have to import one, i would considering how expensive LHD ones are priced here.
Anyways thanks for the upload!
And i love the touch of tech very nice
My z32 isn't like a lot of them, she's all stock except for an r32 GTR shifter. She is young at 52k miles, and she's more than perfect for me without all the power modifications. The 2+0 NA is a great car to have fun in, it's not about speed. It's about celebrating the things and the people you love, for me the Z is all about the ethos and the community. Whenever someone sees my z32 or my s130z and they get drawn in and want to talk for hours about it then that's what makes the experience for me.
A long time ago a saw a nissan 300zx on highhway by night and a thought one day i will have to buy one. My nissan was made 1993 and i love it!!!!!!!- José Coelho
I know that exact feeling. It's love at first site. It's worth every penny.
I own one myself and i will never sell it! Its a very special car... I think yours is one of the most beautifull Z's i seen, love the wing!!! cheers from the Netherlands
Same here never selling.
とても素敵なムービーですね。Katohさんの、Zに対する深い愛情が感じられました。
Kenさんの撮り方や編集も素晴らしいと思います。車が好きで映像を撮られている感じが、とても良く伝わって来ました。
Krisさんの音楽も映像に凄く良く合っていて、素晴らしい作品になっていると思います。
Man this car.... his car.... the finest z32 I've ever seen.
Man if one day I buy a Z, I would make it the perfect replica of it.
i keep coming back to this very video. my dream car
I too fell in love with the Z32 when it came out in my country back in 90. I now own one and its my forever car. Yours is done amazingly well. I hope you still have it.
Four years in, and this is still the bestZ32 video ever made, IMHO!
Que dedicación para tener un auto único y especial, buen trabajo me gusta mucho tu auto ,felicidades!! Saludos desde México

Always nice to see the Z32 in its natural habitat, the car and city are amazing! On my second Z32, hope to keeps this one for a while!
This is absolutely the cleanest most unique and gorgeous 2+2 I've ever seen. Thank you for the inspiration. Very well put together video.

Could I use your video at my channel? Of course I will put links to your channel and video. It's alright if you don't feel to.
Now about the video. This must be the cleanest z32 I've ever seen. Crazy mods. Especially the rear wing!.. Great video, hope for more videos like this!
Thanks for the comment. You are more than welcome to use the link for sharing this video.
love this car.... wish I got this sooner
Kareem Roberts I know that feeling but it's not a race. We all know it's expensive to maintain a 300zx. Did you purchase a 300zx recently?
When you get a chance can you please subscribe? It would help tremendously.
I will purchase one later on but not right now and where I live we can get a vehicle 2007 and up
Kareem Roberts I see. Where do you live?
The Bahamas
Kareem Roberts very nice
Beautiful machine!
Nice ride, so beautifull car!! :)

lookmom nobrakes thanks for watching the video! I filmed Yuichi last summer. He's not only very humble but such an inspiration.
When you get a chance please subscribe and share the video. It helps us create future 300zx videos.
3 Line Films I certainly will, you guys need more exposure

By any chance do you or anyone else no what type of steering wheel that is? thats one of the things that i like the most about his car.
I believe it's an R34 special steering wheel. He added the Z emblem.
I NEED THAT STEERING WHEEL ASAP
What song did you use for this video towards the end
I wonder what the red pipe is next to the exhaust pipes, any ideas? 3:37
Z32 best fair lady

カッコいい‼
ありがとうございます!
hi. your z is beautiful. i also have a 93 tt stil a work in progress. i really like the active spoiler. where can i get one. been looking online. cant find it.
The active spoiler was completely custom. You will have to ask a performance body shop if they are capable of creating such a spoiler just like this.
did yall re upload this video?
Yep! Thanks for finding us again!
where did you get the spoiler???
He had it custom made in Japan
where did he get the active spoiler ?
What song did you use for this video?
Is that active spoiler aftermarket ?
Bem louco.
Need to import a 1999 zx300 to the USA
Do it for sure! I've seen an increase of JDM 300x's on the road
3 Line Films any idea what steering wheel he is using in the video with the red z emblem
Cant get a 99 yet. Has to be 25 years or older
日産駐在員事務所と日本の指導者がロシアに日産自動車工場を開設することに同意しないのは残念です。ヨーロッパの自動車を手に入れました。製鉄所と鉄鉱石の採石場があり、古い車の需要は膨大です。体の部分。
Is it automatic? For some reason I thought I saw the auto shift ...
Yes, it's an automatic transmission.
Just bought the same car but it's not as nice as this😔🥵... anyone know where I can find parts for it? It's hard asf looking for good stuff online.
What u need

It was custom made in Japan by an aftermarket shop.
