@xgrapher So what ? The Ford GT isn't even 100% American and Lotus uses a Toyota engine on some of their cars. Though they are great cars. Nissan does it and they get dissed ? If you are not quite proud to own a Z then sell it.
@xgrapher suspension: McPherson Germany??????? With a name like that you must be joking. "Earle S. MacPherson was born in Highland Park, Illinois in 1891" ...everyone knows that.... even the Japanese!
6 ppl are jealous of an L28 stroke out to be 350 hp and around 300-350 tq, while most american motors need the 5.8L v8 to make 350. Japan engineering rocks!!!
@aworkingman that 350 horsepower only comes at the expense of many THOUSANDS of dollars. A simple stroker kit will only net you negligible gains in horse power. Horse power gain is not the ultimate point of a stroker L28, torque is. A stroker kit grants you increased and more consistent torque throughout the power curve. More torque at lower RPM's mean greater acceleration. A robello 3.0 stroker will set you back 8 grand easy.
@aworkingman hahahahahaha wow. yes american motors take 5.7L to make 350 hp, but that same motor makes over 350 ft lbs of torque stock. now drop the same amout as this car took just to get to 350hp and ur makin way over 450 at the motor
Anyone have any idea what year this Z is? Looks like it's a 260Z to me. I know it says 240Z in the tags for the vid, but the tail lights are for a 260Z/280Z. Conversion maybe? Either way, this is a very nice Z. I wish my '77 280Z was as nice as this one.
It's just an S30 or S31 Fairlady Z. from 74~78. These were all 2 liter 6 cylinder L20 in Japan and always came with thin bumpers. This guy put an L28 in it

I love the sound of an inline six hitting 7 grand on the tach. What an awesome machine. I love the L series and S30. Nissan + german designer + marketted to the US = nail on head.
The only thing REMOTELY german on the car is it's name. DATSUN which was mistranslated by a Japanese game form "That soon". The japanes asked the Germans for a catchy name but they needed it in a hurry. "That soon" with german accent sounds like "Dat soon" which equals Datsun
wrong, you are referring to an old joke about the name "datsun". It had nothing to do with Germany btw it was about the USA (datsuns primary market).
Datsun means "son of DAT" and the US versions where called datsun instead of nissan because nissan made war vehicles for ww2. Wanting to market their vehicles in the US afterwards, they name was changed so that ex-servicemen were not immediately offended.
Wrong, sun stands for sun (the sun is the symbol of Japan and if you write Nissan in kanji the 1st kanji is the character of the sun 日/nichi) and DAT are just the first letters of the 3 foundators of the company (Kenjiro Den, Rokuro Aoyama et Meitaro Takeuchi)
Since it says 3100 I'm assuming it's a triple carbed L28 that's been bored and stroked. I doubt it's fuel injected because that Z has the distinct sound of carbs at WOT.
