1972 Fairlady 240 Z

[4our]

Where can I get rims like that.. And where the fender mirros

[XxBillyGoatNinjaxX]

Someone wanna tell me the difference between the 240, 260, and 280? I wanna start studying Datsuns

[riceburnagtv]

@XxBillyGoatNinjaxX They got contunially bigger and uglier thanks to Nissan wanting to sell them to the Fat arse American market where they LOVE massive cars and have only discovered what handling means about a year ago

[007FUNKZROID]

@XxBillyGoatNinjaxX late 1969 the datsun 240z was born, the datsun 240z had a 2.4 Liter and after 1973 they started prod on the 260z in 1974 which was 2.6 liter made for 1 year later on in the same year they made the bumpers larger, in 1975 nissan began production on the 280z which was a 2.8 liter the 280z survived for 3 years at the end of 1978 the body style was changed and in 1979 the new introduction of the 280zx was born, I hope this

[r34gtrgodzilla]

Hahahaha 432ci. These old geesers have no idea.

[rzamilla]

Lol 432! I wonder what the 2500 on the spark plug cover means? And how does this guy run a Datsun museum......

[79tazman]

my cuz has a 73 Z 240 it has a bored 60 over 350 small block and the car hauls ass I love riding in it

[luisocitroen]

datsun or nissan dont make the skyline,is Prince a motor division from nissan,sad that they dont have a clue about this model of car,so sad!!

[Midgetman303]

432 cubic inches out of a rb25???

[mengle2004]

@Midgetman303 Think that old dude was just faking it.

[kimgulle]

Hot Rod???? >:O

BLASPHEMY!!!!

[sunderhoeksema]

My favorite car from Midnight Club LA :D

[Illunex]

HNNNGGGFFFFFFFFFFFFF- SO MANY MISTAKES

[CeroDignityLeft]

This Museum is gone now :(

I live in Murrieta, and they shut down a year ago.

I'm so sad, everyone here was soooo nice.

They helped me fix my 280zx.

[kimgulle]

@CeroDignityLeft With the kind of knowledge this old dude has i'm not surprised why they had to close. Every Z lover who would go there thinking they could talk about the Z's with the owner probably got so frustrated by the idiocy that they told everyone else to keep away...

[CeroDignityLeft]

@kimgulle The beautiful and terribly sad thing is that you are wrong.

Fred and the others who ran the museum were so nice, helpful and patient with younger folk, that it really helped people like me get into the cars. When I blew up my Z they gave me advice and contacts to help put my car back together.

The reason they shut down, was unfortunately because Fred Jordan(Owner) lost his fight with Cancer.

I kinda wish that it had been annoying kids that had shut it down rather than cancer.

[kimgulle]

@CeroDignityLeft That's sad actually. But still, they didn't seem to know a damn thing about the Z's judging by this video. It makes me vexed seeing how confident he is in his stupidity.. I'm sure he was an awesome guy though.

[cooltk19700601]

[dongawoy]

As long as the engines by Nissan its ok to install it in a Z. I also never understand why american v8's sometimes get installed in porsche 911's, it just dont make sence.

[gsm70565]

[sqweekyknee]

so thats why skylines are outlawed here...cause retards like them, "432 cu in motor" would vaporize their self's in a fire ball

[fd3srules]

O: Thats like 5 miles from my place. 

[DarkSifu]

That Was, Street legal.. I mean seriously, Street legal. Tires like dis wide. A whole 432 cubic inches. Blow ya doors off sun.

[280z1]

I was in tears when they said 432 C.i

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[irai1984]

Osaka number plate.

[miamimo]

oldtimers getting it wrong lol

[hoedontgothere]

432 ISNT A 432 CUBIC INCH ENGINE!!!! 432 referred to 4 valves per cylinder, 3 carburetors, and 2 cams

[mengle2004]

@hoedontgothere I don't think this old dude knew much about newer cars. Also Datsun has not existed in a while so that new engine is from a Nissan Skyline not Datsun.

[takulovesanime]

@mengle2004 lol the japanese thought nissan was too japanese so all they did was put datsun emblems/badges on the ouside of the car!

[thatgallagherguy]

432 cubic inches with a twin double overhead cam? No wonder Skylines are outlawed. Too much power!

[thatgallagherguy]

@takulovesanime Dude, I know. It was a joke. 432 cubic inches in a six would yield pistons the size of coffee cans. Did you watch the video? I'm very familiar with Nissan RB engines. I've got a 25DETT on a palate in my garage, right now I'm looking for a good 240 or 280z.

[takulovesanime]

@thatgallagherguy jeez sorry i said anything because i totally knew you were familiar with rb motors from your previous comment! your ridiculous chill the fuck out. did you watch the video? this is youtube, isnt it for watching video's?

[grimheathen]

@thatgallagherguy there is no such thing as a rb25dett unless you added a turbo

they are single turbo rb25det the rb26dett was a twin turbo

[takulovesanime]

Sadly these guys have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. For one, the Japanese use the metric system so even if 432 stood for the engine size they would still be wrong, but it doesn't. To me, this is NOT a real 432. Swapping out the old S20 and all the original features would destroy the value of this car. Example is engine and the cheap American wheels vs watanabe's. So way to be wankers you wanna be Japanese car enthusiasts.

[usafdarkhorse]

what a ridiculous commentator. 432 cubic inches? Datsun hotrod? Stick with your ratrods and leave the J spec classics alone.

[idriveforeign]

4 valves per cylinder 3 carbs 2 cams. 432= Beast

[machetero1]

Goddamn im salivating

[maingauche36]

it's an RB25DET, not 432 cid fool

[XforkbenderX]

These guys are no historians. This car is clearly not stock. They were NOT 432 cubic inch motors. The 432 stands for 4 valves/cylinder, 3 carbs, 2 liters. It's a 2.0 liter inline 6 that produces about 160 HP. Not sure about weight but the dry weight of a stock 240Z in 72/73 was 2395 lbs. Light indeed. These are great cars but these guys have no clue what they're talking about.

[watermeloncat]

@XforkbenderX that goes without saying, but no one cares.

[takulovesanime]

@XforkbenderX lets not get people confsued now, it written directly ontop of the engine (2500/RB25DET). Its a 2.5L not a 2.0L RB20DE/T

[XforkbenderX]

@takulovesanime Indeed, the 2 meant 2 cams. In any case, this thing is nowhere near any sort of stock Z car. That motor is not from any early Z car.

[vainparasite]

Why were skylines outlawed?

[VBSouthpaw]

@vainparasite emissions b.s.

[AcomsRazor1776]

@vainparasite Skylines are not "outlawed" They simply fail to meet specific epa and safety criteria (Among HUNDREDS of other foreign cars) that disqualify them from being imported legally.

[mastergradeone]

thats a a shiny clean car.

[skylinedrake]

one sexy car

[jwerner2]

Love me a Dat-Z!

[mario102395]

432 cubic inches ???????????????????

[podvarakly]

Hahahahahahahaha... 432 ci.

LSHCCOMNAIWEDA

[JefFreezePerformance]

432 Stands for 4 valves per cylinder, 3 carbs and 2 cams. Not 432 ci. Sheesh. Some Heritage rep this guy is.

[vash241987]

@JefFreezePerformance thanks for the info cause I checked it out and was like "its a 7.1 L engine? " lol

[DemonoidCFH]

(Sigh) Best of intentions, but the internet sees through sales jargon these days. If you don't know the answer, bluff, who can tell? This isn't the first example of this from that area. LOL

This one ranks up there with the guy claiming his Datsun 240Z conversion was a 'rebodied Ferrari 250 GTO'---the internet pretty much tore that one up in short order as well...

Oh, and the Devil Z was L-Gata powered! That Manga was out well before the RB was on the scene.

[Dat240far]

Cant wait to get my S30 on the road would be nice to know the numbers on it as my Fairlady in a Tokyo Japan Dealer car to from 70???? S30z`s only weigh 1049kg but with a RB25DET adds bit more as I have one in my 260z.

[del787b]

awwwwwwwww men thats the way i would do it............. or a RB26

[TheDatsunKing]

DROOL

[sckryde]

"Bing"

lol

[lt1snail]

when an old guy is bragging about his z, its always the best car out there in his opinion. i had a clean ass lt1 t56 280z. clean clean. i bever brag about it. now have a 2jzgte single, nice zg style, still dont impress people unless its an old geez, talking about it.

this s30 is a poser! 432 with rb swap? buwahaha. might as well put a skyline gtr sign on it.

[tokyocityrat]

really sexy car. Z car with Skyline engine! cannot expect more...

[bryanchou]

few SKYLINE in US? not anymore...INFINITI G35/37 are SKYLINEs. Thats not even a real JDM Z432. Z432 beleive to be made less than 500 units. I cant beleive these people are from DATSUN MUSEUM that do not even know their stuffs. laughable!

[Ryoukun16]

I love how most of you repeat other peoples' comments to an extent. :Rolleyes:

[MrJBarfield]

Haha I almost thought this was a joke! Its sad a guy in a "Z car club" who even has a datsun shirt doesn't know what a 432 is...

I almost want to say poser but im not in middle school anymore haha

[MarsBeeEater]

I'm buying one of these for my 18th birthday in like 2 weeks. I found one fully restored, nothing wrong with it, just needs a paint job and it's only 5k. Whoot! :D

[dan012345]

You're lucky.

[solidsnayk]

@yourweirdfriend2 i wonder why the hell the owner of this car has a 432 badge on it anyways. i mean, those engines are really rare and i would only have that bardge if thats whats under the hood. not to mention its an RB, and the sound from those beauties are enough badging for me.

[solidsnayk]

makes me chuckle inside....432ci....(sigh) is he too old to be a n00bie?

[ToxicCow]

quick google search said 432 is about 7 liters...HAHA. try 2.5

[SHADOWS113]

damn beautiful car!!!

[ThEsHizNit756]

432 cubic inches LOL....this dood needs to stick to american cars

[moderns30]

Is it me or does this guy not really know anything? we don't call it a skyline engine, we call that an RB25DET. Its not 432 cubic Inches. Its 2.5 liters. Its not a 240z, its a Fairlady z. There are many differences. A big one being RHD. I'm sorry, I love the car, but I cannot stand when people try to sound like they know what they are talking about and don't. Some of the stuff is really dumb there.

[cheddar0520]

datsun is nissan just when they brought nissan 2 the u.s nissan thought that nissan sounded 2 jappaniesh so they name it datsun

[260zfan]

skyline engine is made by nissan not datsun

[jacob80]

Oh boy, the 432 thing made me laugh! Also, this guy just said it weighed 2800 pounds....I highly doubt that. And yes, the Skylines were outlawed! LOL

[XenoVionX]

@jacob80 it does weigh that much

[jacob80]

@XenoVionX My '73 weighs in at 2350 with no passenger....

[thebluemaggot]

@jacob80 "Also, this guy just said it weighed 2800 pounds." If im not mistaken that was an RB25 turbo engine under the hood right. RB engines are no light weight's. For their displacement they are very large and very heavy motor's Skyline transmissions are also very very heavy. It would be my guess the engine and transmission alone add near 180 pounds. This coupled with the roll cage that they showed in it and who knows what other safety equipment 2800 lbs seems right.

[scavenom2008]

dude those cars are light

[JDMDatsun]

@jacob80 LOL @ ->432 Cubic inches = 7 Liters.... the 4-3-2 stood for 4 valves per cylinder, 3 carburetors, and 2 camshafs

[khammett12]

@jacob80

the curb weight was 2800lbs with the stock inline 6

30 lbs is added for a swap

[surf403]

@jacob80 Well, if you have trouble believing that the car could weigh only 2800 then you obviously need to learn more about cars. Go back to school mate!!

[240ZWarrior]

@surf403 this car weighs a tinny bit over a ton stock .... the RB26 if im nnot mistaken dosent weigh another ton and a half...

[iwasntere]

@240ZWarrior 2000 pounds = a tonne, so 2800 pounds is about 1.4 tonnes

[iwasntere]

@240ZWarrior sorry, its 2200 pounds to a tonne... so its about 1.2 tonnes

[gruhonjic]

Beautiful car

[PrescriptionSeven]

mos def homes lol.

[PrescriptionSeven]

im sure you did...and ok.

[PrescriptionSeven]

no it wouldn't... it would need a twin turbo L28 280z engine increased to 3.1liter making about 620hp after the proper tuning done by Speed Shop Shinohara (SSS) but they dont exist anymore.. btw i was talking about the real devil z thats the anime is based off.

[PrescriptionSeven]

this s30 is featured in this months super street issue.

[vtecboi18]

iv seen that 240z the owner put a rb25 into it i have the issue i think its super street

[007johnie]

wheres the rest of the clip

[cold2036]

hey, can i trade my g35 4 that..........

[bryanchou]

lol are they from mars? 432 cubic inchs? hahahhah

[vipv35]

that badge was reserved for the 432R in japan. 4= 4 valves per cylinder, 3= 3 carbs, 2= 2 overhead cams. the japanese dont use cubic inches

[bluestreak620]

Exactly. 432 cubic inches! ? haha... They were 2.0 in the 432R and not all Fairlady Z's were a 432. I really doubt that one was.

[Dat240far]

@bluestreak620 I would still Have the twin cam L20 with tripple makunis in the car if it was real.

[wheyez]

The 432 badge was not just for the Z432R but also the Z432! Which both came with the S20 engine!

[McLarenMercedes]

@vipv35

neither does the rest of the world

[KOBEinLA4]

That old guy doesn't know what he's talking about but that's a beautiful Z!

[LeonV240Z]

"Skyline is outlawed in the United States"

No it's not, it was just never imported to the US but it can be done legally.

"Skyline is manufactured by Datsun"

Nissan!

"432 cubic inches"

Riiiight, the RB25 is actually a 7.1 Liter...

432: 4 Valves per cylinder, 3 Carburettors and 2 Overhead Camshafts.

What a load of CRAP!!! These guys have no idea what they're talking about!

[sd455pontiac]

A 425 - 428 cube motor is right at 7 litres. A 429 - 433 cuber is 7.1 litres. Inch to metric volume comversion, remember engines are nothing more than fancy air pumps. Cubic inch, litres, CC's are a volume measurement of an engines "pumping" displacement,,,, not it's physical size.

[Q8ijin]

You my friend, know what you are talking about.

LeonV240Z Is right about the 432 as well as the the Skyline

[bryanchou]

He is right about 432 but SKYLINE is already here in the US since 2003 aka INFINITI G35/37 coupe/sedan

[BrickMuffin]

bah!! i hate it when people say that. the r35 should have been a skyline gtr, but thanks to stupid marketing its now just a gtr and the g-series have taken over the skyline name...wtf man...
