The complete transformation of my Datsun 280zx in 10 minutes. I really enjoyed making this video. I can't believe how far it's come! Crazy.
Check out my merch: lakesideco.shop/
240z, 260z, 280z, 280zx build.
Latest 280zx video is here - kzhead.info/sun/h6iio8htbZqlpZE/bejne.html
Let’s be honest we all clicked this vid cause we like z cars
Haha not mad about that!
True
No lie
ive been trying to find a s30 z or a 280zx for a while but i got no luck
no shit
Bro i swear to god if u wouldn't have painted it completely I would have gone mad af ! :)) Great job man ! this looks sick af
Haha thanks my dude! Pretty stoked with it. Turbo install next!
Before even watching this, the build reminds me of the Devil Z
I'd never seen Midnight Wangan until after building this car and seeing the comments! Now I'm in love with it haha. Thanks for watching!
The Devil Z was a 240z but it's still an awesome build
@Samuel Olesek true, real life and Wangan Midnight
@@1mawesomel1kethat I know.
@@ImHappy2poo yup, you know so do I, absolutely no sarcasm on your or my part
It's amazing what people can do in only 10 minutes. Good and quick work.
Sick video, thinking of buying one of these as a project when I’m a bit older!
Thank you bro! 100% do it. They’re amazing cars 👌🏻
@@itsmikelake are the replacements for parts expensive? or easy to get? i live in argentina and there are almost no datzuns because in the moment they were selling our country began a non importing fase of the economy.
@@ugwuey1080 Unfortunately the parts aren't easy to find at all 😅
@@itsmikelake I can help you out with one part....cheat code for headlight replacements. They use the exact same headlights as a Jeep Wrangler... possibly older models like CJ7 headlights 😂.
Bro this is one of the best time laps videos I’ve seen for years. Also that Datsun is a beast. Good to see you bringing back the old school beasts back to life. Keep up the great work. It’s very appreciated that you make theses types of videos and sharing your journey. See your based in Melbourne even better. Nice colour too. Keep up the great work
Hey Darren, cheers for the kind words! Really enjoyed the journey bringing the 280zx back from the dead for sure. Such a good looking car. Happy new year also! 🍻
Thanks for the awesome comments & support with this build! Next up - Turbo install! Don't forget to subscribe for all future 280zx content 😁.
@Joshua Pittman Cheers bro. Sometimes simple is best hey!
@Faded Primo Really appreciate that bro. Cheers!
What would a 280zx with a R32 Godzilla in be like 🤔
@Faded Primo That would certainly be different haha
What size wheels are those
I laughed more , than I had to , for u. When u said "the only bush, that I love, legit" 🤣🤭🤣 Sometimes , u must explore nature 🤣🤣🤣😏🤭😏
Hahahaha, had to be said!
I’ve been wanting one of these cars since i was 5 yrs old. Excellent, excellent work and very impressive! $1,500 is a steal! Nicely done!
Silverstreak lookin' nice these days
My mom had a 280z, watching this brought back great memories of the fun we had driving it. Great work and finished result.
i love this, i won a 300zx z31 1984 and people say im crazy and i should just stick to the 32 gtr i have but seeing people like this bringing life into the fairladies is incredible and fills me with joy !
Thanks Noah. The R32's are great, but there's just something about these old Japanese cars that are so fricken cool! So much character.
Your car is absolutely stunning dude. Few years from now I'm looking to start collecting & restoring Zs. Your video has given me hope.
Phenomenal work. The fender mirrors got me here cause I just picked some up for my Puma. The Z looks phenomenal. Living the T-tops.
Beautiful. The 1st wheel u got actually looks perfect for the z..
Thanks! Agree, but they weren’t genuine wheels and I felt the car deserved genuine.
Ah. I felt the same about the watanabe style wheels, but i rest easier knowing you did it for authenticity.
Most def, 1st wheel.
That is such a beautiful car! I'm glad you put so much time and work into that Z so you could enjoy it! Also, thank you for saving it from where it was before!
Thank you bro! I’m so proud of it. I still have sooo many things I want to do to her. Turbo setup coming soon!
I just acquired a 280 almost in the exact same condition. I don’t have much knowledge on fixing these kinda things. It’s how I actually found this video. It’s encouraging to see that it is possible to fix it.
Tbh that car looks amazing just when you change the wheels
Thank you bro! Wheels can really change the whole look & feel of the car for sure.
Really nice job there. Looks amazing!
Subbed! Love to see another aussie car YT! Wish you were around NSW. Love the work on the Datsun! I always have a soft spot for older datto’s and Nissan’s. Makes me miss my 88’ Exa
Turned out fantastic, nicely done! I can only hope our 280z project turns out this good
Thanks boys! Very keen to check your project out. Best of luck with it. Hit me up if you need any help.
Love your works. Proud of you!
Nice job. I had a 1975 280Z, I loved that car!
Looked 50% better just after the first wash. Awesome work my guy.
Right?! Thanks bro. It's been such a fun build so far. Can't wait to do the turbo stuff!
The whole time I was scared to death thinking you would keep the rust and damage untouched, and just have the pretty paint over it. Thank goodness by the end you actually stripped the whole thing and fixed it all, had me worried.
Congrats 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼you do have balls to start with a project on those conditions 😳😳
Thanks! It took a lot of work 😅
Great build Mike!
My first car was an 81 2+2 ttop 5speed. I loved it so much This brought back so many great memories. Thanks
They’re such a cool car hey, so much character. Thanks for the kind words Josh! Glad you enjoyed it.
Turbo install video just dropped! Enjoy - kzhead.info/sun/iJ17Y89vZKF4pnk/bejne.html
I love these types of videos. Good work for Devil Z
I am so glad you put fender mirrors. Personally I think it takes the car look fresh a different while still keeping it true to its roots
Thanks bro, I whole heartedly agree. Crazy how a small mod can make such a big difference!
Your 280ZX looks awesome!
Heck of a transformation. Glad to see i'm not the only one with mismatched DIY paint on repairs (edit: until respray - nice!)...and your car looks killer!
This was cool, I had an 85 280zx . Miss that car. Was a blast to drive.
SHE LIVES! Hell yeah Dr. Frankenstein, I wish I had your skillset. Cruising in something you brought back like that must be so damned satisfying. Hope she'll be good to you for a LONG time!😁👍
i like your style dude..it’s perfect 🤩..stay safe bro
Great job! Look amazing 😎
Great work. Well done.
Cheers nick!
Fukin minty mate, been watching since around when you first got it. Beautiful!
Thanks so much bro! She's turned out far better than I could have hoped. Not finished yet! Next up, turbo...😜
Totally awesome! It takes a lot of work to save some of these Zs. I commend you. Excellent job so far. 👏
Cheers! Phase 2 starts next week 😈
Only Ten Minutes? Very Fast!
Yeah man he be zoomin
Fr
This is such a frickin sick vid dude!
Thanks bro! Can't wait to look back on it in 20 years haha
She's a beautiful 2+2 (owned one BITD myself '83 5 speed loaded). Loved the look with the spokes.
Thank you bro! They’re such awesome cars. They’ll really come into their own in the next couple of years I think
Awesome work bro. Love it.
Thank you my bro!

Alucinante la transformación felicitaciones
Sick ass build man beautiful
Thank ya bro!
Great build❤️
Thanks bro!
That blue is beautiful
Sick build bro.
Thanks my dude!
Absolute beaut cant wait till i can get one for myself 🤤 still working on my 350 in the meantime
Hell yeah dude! 350’s are awesome too 👊🏻
Brilliant car matey, I love my Z31
Thanks Paul! Absolutely love the Z31's also. They're all quickly becoming hard to come by classics!
Nice work and it's right hand drive.
Thanks dude! Yep, Australian delivered haha
Mate this is wicked!!
Thank you bro!
The only problem I see are the stretched tires, but everything else is absolute gold
Agreed. These are the tyres that came on the wheels. I’ve been looking for wider tyres, not actually very easy to find in 16’s! Thinking I’ll go 235 instead of the current 215 👌🏻
"second time painting a car, it came out alright"....bro if my car looked even half as good as that id be a happy man!, sick build my guy! amazing
Thanks bro! I’ll do an update video on this build soon as it’s come a LONG way!!
@@itsmikelake looking forward to it, got yourself a new sub 😊
you're very lucky to have gotten this car at $1200. and to even own one is a miracle. and really cool on the process man, kudos to ya
Sporting a semi looking at the absolute beauty of the finished product.
Haha this is my fave comment ever
Flattery will get you everywhere. Shame your not in Perth would love to detail away the drool makers there would certainly be on it
Big like! ZX are awesome. Huge difference between day 1 and now.
Thanks Loki! Version 2 is nearly complete and I fricken cannot wait to drive it again 😭
@@itsmikelake With Zac moving your way too I definitely have to plan a trip down for car hangs and check it out!
Fire build bro
Thanks homie!
this was amazing bro
Thank you bro!
looks sick ,
Love it!
Nice build

Hah thank you bro! And thanks KZhead for recommending it 😅
For a second I was like "is that Akio working on his Devil Z"
Qué belleza del Datsun 280ZX !
The coolness is oozing out of my nose dude
Cheers bro

Sick build dude! Wouldn't change anything about it! But have you considered LED rear lights? Definitely would look cooler!
Beautiful car love it
