One of the coolest imports I’ve had the opportunity to see in action, this extremely streetable 1978 Datsun 280z takes it’s first trip to the drag strip to do some testing. The car has an LS1 with heads, cam, and FAST intake manifold putting down around 450 wheel horsepower! Best 1/8 mile time was 7.11 for the night.

Just got a 74 260z
This is the car that you see in the lane next to you, supercharger whining, fuel pump louder than the car you have, and you think to yourself…I'm making payments on a hellcat and I'm pretty sure this car has more nuts than me.
Sheeeeeeesh 🤩🤩
Would love to see this at a multiclass track day
They put corvette motors in datsuns?
Would love to make mine like that

Check mine out
There’s no way that runs sevens in the quarter.
Kurwa Giki daj mi spać
Same build as mine. When your daily driver is a RAV4, the Datsun always feels completely insane.
Very impressive..!!!
I built a 1972 240z,lLs6,twin turbo and super charge . Couldn't see what it would do wide-open thing would get almost Airborne at 130 6 Speed automatic very very fast dangerously fast
450hp in the Low 7s damn how tho
That's it right there that's the one, I want that one.
1:34 “aight Finna slide back home, ima fuck with y’all “🤧
🤮 put an rb26 in it
LS swap the world.
This is my dream build a 78 Datsun 280z with LS1 swap
Es hermoso
570Z
Dang and still got space in the hood? Lol it looks like that v8 belongs in there
Not a big fan of LS Swaps, but hey… if the owner likes it, then go ahead.
that car sucks nuts all yaw dudes are wrong !
Felt like i was in the car haha
I drove a 76 with a 350ci swap to high school I built in 1990. Love all z's even the ls
fuck gm…..
1/8 mile racing is the most retarded form of racing in the world.
great way to ruin a classic.
Takes it is first trip?
takes its* first trip
it's = it is
Learn this.
That thing sounds Tuff
how much is this build cost? I have a 1972 and 1973 240z sitting in the garage for 30years. after watching this video I feel like doing a project.
Hey guys how much will it cist to buy a 260z datsun in America?
I just creemed I'm my pantz
S30 chassis cars are some of the best-looking ever made. One thing you can say for ALL generations of Z-car is that they have REALLY stout drivetrains. There are 350z's running 8's with the stock 6-speed and rear diff.
What's the difference between Datsun 240z, 260z and 280z?
great car wish i owned it
450 and it puts down numbers like that, scary fast.
that cant be a stock r200 even if it had the vlsd its probably got an aftermarket helical and i doubt hes running the stock 3.545 gears he probably swapped them out with 3.90s or 4.11s
stock frame or added frame
v8 boring.
what does an LS1 do?
don't know much about cars and my dad gave me this car model, thanks.
Whats the differential and axles in this beast? Did they stick with the IRS 180 or 200 or with a a more sturdy solid axle?
beautiful, i think it is 1000HP now
Dude cant even get traction on take off. Correct this issue and you'll have better times
Chubby crap engine already smoking. Time for a rebuild. Love those 4 lug rims LOL.
that V8 suits the Z really nicely
Why, just why?
