  • yup with lots of boost, and stand alone ecu. Its just an old L28et

  • This is a STOCK motor?!

  • that's an awsome vid...lol the comentary was funny as hell....love the car i had 2 non turbo....one no exhaust to the side of the motor an no hood an she flew...i have the 6 suspensions as a record for that drive,,,lol

  • hey i know palnet... lives about 45 min away from me...

  • dam phil you have a nice car i would gladly trade my sti for a car like that

  • im in love with this car...

  • Holy sh*t man!!! I know what neighborhood you stay in!!! My moms ex husband lives there too! I just bought a 76 Z and an 81 Zx for $500! When I move back to that area you'll see me cruising around...

  • nice

  • Wait is the intake manifold and exhaust manifold on the same side?

  • @chevyhs yup non cross flow engine

  • awesome Z man! i used to have a 1970 240z but I crashed it..then I had a 450 hp 300zx TT..how much did you end up spending on all this? I love the way those L28 motors sound when they're modded...real beastly!

  • Nice nice car, it spins up the rears to bother in the dry, can only image what a handful it would be in the rain, thanks for g8 videos. would love a Z.

  • what transmission and rear end set up do you have because that sounds like an awesome set up!

  • I love that hiss I just built up my f54 n/a with flat tops next is to go for the turbo

  • Ur Z is awesome!...I fkn love these cars despite never owning, driving, riding, knowing an owner etc!

  • It looks like you live in Cadomills.. is that right? Nice datson man

  • The old motor sound plus turbo = sex.

  • those old Zs RALLY HARD. ive been sideways while burning out around a corner. One hell of a wild ride. Its an asian car with american muscle.

  • Looks like a fun ride to me.

  • Nothing line Vintage JDM

  • Hey, Big Phil! Great work. If I lose my mind I'll try this with my '73 Z. Right now it's a carbed L28 with a 5-speed. My mechanic is a well known Datsun freak (was on race teams in Japan) and he would do it with your parts list. No, we can't see the gauges. You could try the dash lights and a little zoom on the camcorder. Drive carefully, Phil.

  • lol i was laughing when you said pimp hoes fo sho

  • This car is badass. I'm a whimpy Supra fanboy. However I did come across a Nissan 280Z for sale. Test drove it and the Early 80's feel is incredible. Turbo spooling and boost is a great feel for those cars as well.

    Nice car keep it clean man!!

  • you need a 240 but nice build. mines come a long way since it begun too, gotta love the zs

  • good shit

  • that car fucking quick thinking about buying a 1977 280z for 950 and it runs

  • 8:59 you almost lost it. Very sweet budget wise. I would love to have that car. RB25 or an SR in a dirt cheap chassis built ground up is more my style. Very nice work!

  • thats what happens when you vid and drive at the same time. Im thinking about finding another Z chassis and doing that same thing!

  • jesus.

  • Love your videos! Do you have more detailed build specs on a Z web site?

  • It sounds SICK

  • " Pimp seat , for my pimp ride , for the pimp hoes" hahah Your my kinda guy Phil .. Did you have the 88 shiro tranny in on this video? I just picked up a 03 hy35 your build makes me excited!

  • no stock tranny here. Thanks dude

  • Just drove mine and it drives real nice. But as soon as made it back it started dieing on me. Im pretty sure its the coil driver. Im not sure if i should order the newer bosch driver or do something else.

  • owasome IM GOING THRU THE SAME THING.ON MY 1970 240Z. NICE

  • what is it? it sounds almost like a V8 but im guessing either a 4cyl or 6cyl maybe a straight or an inline 6

  • going by the title, its L28ET

    2.8L in-line 6 cyl turbocharged

  • So badass

  • its amazing how similar it seems to my 240sx. The Z was what made me a nissan guy. Nice car subscribedd!

  • Why did you decide to go with the 2mm gasket?

  • to lower the compression ratio of the motor to run more boost

  • haah cool ass pimp seats lol

  • bad ass car.those were the days asians made real cars.not anymore.now they make grocerygetters

  • true

  • there are a few that are not grocerygetters but for the most part everybody is trying to go GREEN lol

  • yeah but these new cars just dont look right

  • true i only like a few to be honest i think seeing cars like these days our numbered

  • I'll try to hang on to this one as long as I can. I just got it painted!!!! Check my new video

  • wen i get mine ill keep it till the day i die cause they are really nice cars, the people i know that got rid of theres are full of regret i mean i understand if u fall under bad times but other then that i kinda would't understand someone who would sell there Z but to each his own i guess,wow iv never seen a Z in that color before,is your Z a dally driver?

  • yes. I love to drive it everywhere!

  • wow thats good to hear iv seen only a few here.

  • Sick.

  • this is one beautiful car...nice work

  • motherfuckers a beast. Im getting a 81 280zx soon.

  • U2 Nice

  • wow.... just wow man.

    i have a 260z with a 81 turbocharged engine.

    stock f54 and p90a head. stock turbo. stock injectors. MSII, relay, summit external pump,

    fmic 26"x3"11". EDIS-6.

    im hoping it will be making some good power once its all set.

    nothing like that set up! true methanol? man thats some sick shit! haha.

    DEF Awesome build. see you on HZ

  • get some bigger injectors and you should be able to turn the boost up, 15 lbs on stock turbo??

  • IVE GOT A 83! similer to this one it runs! but i want to restore it to a custom design!

  • if you dont mind me asking how much did the engine cost u

  • motor was $150 from junk yard. Rebuild for about $300 ish.

  • jeezus that is one hell of a car, im 16 and i want to buy either a 280z or a datsun 510. Any advice?

  • keep checking for sale adds?

  • LOL obvious but thanks?

  • haha. that's what i did. And i got a cadet blue 83 280zx. haha. I love that car. Plan on restoring the car and eventually redoing the exterior once i can actually afford it. keep looking man! mine's in great condition for only 2.8K $ (fixer-up-er nonetheless)

  • awsome car man. i have a 79 that i'm tryin to supercharge any suggestions?

  • awesome video man

  • Nice video cool dude I hope he does'nt try any of that shanenegans while his pimp hoes are working him,lolol

  • i love that whole blacked out Z look

  • i pimp ho's

  • how many horses you got phil? and how many ft. lbs.?

  • at that time 342 whp 390tq I have a video of me on the dyno also!!

  • exhaust at :51 sec- mine sounds even more like a motorboat than yours lol

  • Wow, your 280z makes me want to start looking for one once my RX-7's finished. That thing makes a great noise.

  • meilleur et belle voiture

  • thanks man. C'est une voiture très amusante à conduire.

  • @ 5:50 his wipers start lifting

  • I know its so cool

  • hey, how does that trans hold up??

  • not good. went through 3 of them. Now putting in twin turbo 5 speed.

  • Curious, how much did you end up paying for the 300zx transmission, excluding machining for the bellhousing?

  • $300 for the tranny, $300 for the adapter plate, $140 for the machine work to the bell housing. And the drive shaft is going to be about $300ish

  • question- does the factory 4 spd hold up any better? typically they're a little stronger....

  • hey big phil did you put power steering on that thing form a 280zx or did you not have the room and if you didnt is it hard or tricky to drive?

  • its funny you ask I've been looking into power steering. It looks like most people use Subaru racks, then modify that to work. The car drives good but I would like power steering, and windows.

  • i know a friend that knows all about power steering and i can tell you how to get power windows and how much it will cost. ps do you know of any good z bodies i had some one who was going to give me one but it fell thru and i alreddy have all my parts looked up

  • where do you live? I would keep an eye on e-bay.

  • i live in ohio

  • It's said "Zed" not "Zee".

  • that is a very sexy car!!!!!!!!!!

  • Phil I Love your vids! Folowed them since you started on youtube! I love your Z as well... But I got a question, I'm turning 18 now getting a license and stuff... But what car to go for? 240Z 260Z or 280Z? I mean what's the big difference? (Except the engine..) Any help would be much apreciated!

    Patrick

  • Phil are you running spacers in the back? or more offset?

  • yes 1 1/2 inch spacer front and rear.

  • nice video, sweet ride!

  • Been watching you and your car for a while now and you never let me down! Love that z power!

  • that is onw sik '78 dude! i have a stock '77 right now(but it needs some body work). but i know what its like to have the back end step out though. always does that in the rain. about how much did all that cost(turbo/turbo acessories)?

  • its getting up there is price. It comes down to finding parts used

  • one of the most amazing things ive seen.. i used to own a 74 240z but bad things happen... anyway i love the that sounds...excellent job man..

  • Nice job Phil....I'd like to see you ignition map, can you post it on hybridz?

  • I'll try. It basically idles at 30deg climes to 40deg and drops to 20deg as boost comes on.

  • 20 deg with that much boost? wow I guess the meth must really work well. I struggle with much over 18deg at 12 psi even with very low AIT's. CR is 8.35:1 which must be very close to your setup.

  • yes it has 2 electric fans

  • ok I couldnt see them, great car

  • Hey cool car. I cant quite see in your engine bay. Does this car have a Viscus cooling fan, if it does take it off and replace it with electric fans between your rad and your intercooler. It should give quite a few more BHP its the same as adding light wieght pullies, it dont cost much and its a piece of piss to do it. Just an idea. Great example of a classic motor that you can drive hard turn the key every morning every day and know it should keep going. Cool video.

  • this makes me want to get a z over the chevy pickup i was planning on getting haha. luv how the wipers kreep up the windshield at speed lol

  • I LOVE YOUR CAR MAN!!!

    I JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO LIKE OLD SCHOOL IMPORTS, I own a 240sx but ive been looking to buy another car either a280Z L28 turbo OR Z31 300z

  • haha guess you didnt run out of money

  • I would of been terrified in that red car.

  • Damn that is Crazy!!! i got a 280Z as well i only have 1 vid posted though :( but i want to do the same you did on this car's build... but maybe il get the engine bored to 3litres i love that BOV sound...

  • OMG this is my dream car i own a 2001 MR2 Spyder and i am looking to sell it soon i want one of these soooooo bad u are the man love the setup on this beast i was wondering how much MPG the turbo gets if u can let me kno thanks

  • well if I don't get on the turbo at all and drive normal its in the 20-25mpg. If I drive like I do its in the teens?

  • sweet:D i'm getting goosebumps on my arms:D

  • Love your car Phil. The intercooler looks mean sticking out in the open like that. haha

    You have a lot of money and love into the project and it shows.

    The sound is orgasmic.

    Have you had the car on a good dyno yet? I am curious what it's getting to the wheels.

  • You got your foot down in 5th gear staring at your Speedo and you lost your lane Phil.

    If a girl was driving your car in this video I'd have pretty much gotten a boner from looking out the windshield.

  • and uhmm where u get ur exaust mine has 5 holes in it and i want t replace completly to 3" and i need it cheap for a 1982 280zxt if u know any i would be pleased

  • i have a 1982 280zxt running 20lbs of boost on stock turbo waiting for a upgrade stage 4 turbo to come in with a 32ince intercooler and a 75mm throttle body with 6 amps and a kicker ass stereo if i get enough comment or replies i might make a crappy video due to the camera but at least its a vid so comment and when i get enough replies ill make it

  • nice car

  • next video title. "I got traction bars" cuz that car is nuts.

  • no, it's 2mm multilayer solid head gasket.

  • did you o-ring the block? any idea what psi your head gasket is rated to?

  • do you have an L.E.D. upgrade? The stock dash lights are not that bright.

  • if it was night time we would be able to see the needles

  • not on a 30year old Datsun!

  • i have a 30 year old datsun...yes you would

  • im glad someone wants to show what those engines can do! it gives inspiration to us all!

  • Awesome!!!! old school car with new age technology, the best of both worlds, absolutly BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • amazing! greez from austria..

  • how much have you invested in the car in total?

  • $5-6K??

  • Absolutely beautiful car. Looks like I-10 you're out playing around on.

  • Though I-10 is nowhere near DFW area, hahah.

  • Maybe you should take another video... Only turn your lights on to light up the guages. Wouldnt they be visible then?

  • not sure. Even at night they don't light up very well.

  • 12 seconds to 110mph = beast.

    im glad you drive this car, datsuns are legends on the road.. wipe out some mustangs or vipers ;)

  • I have ported it out after making this video. And it holds now.

  • needs more both hands on the steering wheel...(on the outside).

  • Still running an internal wastegate? There's your boost creep problem ;)

  • well done with car mate,ive watched most of your videos with that car and it has come along way

  • Love your z man. i own a 77 280 and a 72 240...

    always been a fan of z cars since i was a kid.

    cant wait to turbo mine.

  • you have made me want to turbo my z cars is bad ass great job man

  • Yea Phil looks alot more cleaner and reliable!. Im not a big fan of spacing out the wheels. But tight bro.. :)

  • Clean Fucken Z dude is that Tranny from a 280ZX

  • yes, 83 n/a 5 speed

  • Shit man that ZED hoots buddy very nice job

  • so fast the windsheild wipers lift up

  • Is that a random fart i hear at 01.42 ? Great job with the "Z" phil. You continue to inspire me to put my 74 260z back on the road.

  • I think your right? That was a "random" fart at 142! Good ear!

  • Hey bud, I have to say that I love your car and seriously appreciate all the vids that you take. You've really helped me choose the path that I'll be taking for my 280zx.

    My name is firm on hybridz, so feel free to pm me. I'd love to talk to you about the build and whatnot (yes, I will use the search button).

  • nice z ..is that still your rustoleum paint job?

  • yes! looks pretty good I think. It does have bad spots. I still want to get it painted for real.

  • damn phil ur tags (hit it from the back G)brought me to the wrong vids, lol

    Love the Z, this is 240zv8...

  • Man, that is awesome. Very very nice car! I have an 82 280zx Turbo. Setting it up for autocross solo races.

  • great vids i watched all of them i was gonna start my 92 talon tsi build but im going to sell the shell and start a datsun 280z, i do automotive in school and should start working at nissan soon you inspired my change of heart ill be the first in the bronx with a 280

  • Notice when he says, "Just to be safe", his hands aren't on the steering wheel!

    I'd rater have a Celica, about a '77, with a SR20DET. Nice Z, though.

  • has it occured to you that he might have ment "safe" for the motor.. as opose to his safety? i'm sure thats what he was refering to.

  • So are you done with the drive train?

    Time to get slicks Phil 26x10.5x16 Mickey Thompson ET Streets or just the ET's.

    Don't forget the wheel studs too.

  • should I take my wheel spacers off at the track?, I think yes.

  • Yes.

    Go dyno that thing so you don't brake the diff, half shafts or trans, slicks hook, there hard on parts.

    If you need a price & a place to dyno it let me know, I can find one around you.

    Dallas Mustang is $75.00 for 3 pulls.

    Let me know.

    Latter

  • Nice work Phil, I fitted my LSD last week and up'd the boost to 15 psi....I have the same setup as you....It's fast!!!!

  • tight u hav the devil z thing going on rofl

  • Brakes hard haaaaaaaaard!!! Go the hilux calipers!

    So 30lbs next? :D

  • crazy cool, I just got a turbo for mine and your vid just got me even more pumped about dropping her in, but ill be using an NA so should only run 10 pounds

  • Great Car, it really has come a long way!

  • Wow, she really flies! You should drag race your friend sometime with the 240.
