Nissan's Untold Conspiracy | Up to Speed
Thanks to CarParts.com for sponsoring today’s episode. Click here bit.ly/CarPartscom3 to check out their massive inventory of car parts.
Nissan’s first Z brought exotic European performance and looks to the masses. It's history's most important sports car, full stop. But it almost didn’t happen. In fact, it took a conspiracy to make it happen. Without a small group of enthusiasts working against Nissan’s corporate wishes, the automotive landscape of the past 50 years would be unrecognizable. The Datsun 240Z is that big of a deal! This story is weirder than we ever expected. Put on your tinfoil hats and get ready for a trip down the rabbit hole with host James Pumphrey, this is everything you need to know to get Up To Speed on the conspiracy to build the first Nissan Z!
A massive thank you to internationally-renowned Datsun S30 Z expert Carl Beck for helping us get the facts straight on this episode, and for letting us dip into his image archive. We literally couldn’t have done this without him! He’s an incredible asset to the Z world, and has some amazing Zs in his collection. Check out his site, www.zhome.com.

Donut Media is at the center of digital media for the next generation of automotive and motorsports enthusiasts. We are drivers, drifters, and car enthusiasts who love to tell stories.
We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to speak with Matsuo-san several times over the past many years, and he was a very passionate and fascinating designer. When Mr. K and Matsuo-san began working on the Z project in the 1960's, they were quite literally making automotive history and they paved the path for the Japanese sports car in America. It's unfortunate that they aren't here with us today to see the newest generation Z. Side note: as mentioned Matsuo was adamant about not changing the roofline to accommodate taller drivers. Instead, the floor of the car was lowered to add another inch (or so) of clearance.
Thanks z1 for being there for me and my 32(rest in peices)(and boost)
Sick
Same difference. Except that lower is better. 😂
Wicked story z1
Best to introduce a new car that people will look after and drive safer. Rather than a cheap beater that gets beat on by careless drivers simple thats why there was no cheap TVRs poor people cant afford to buy or fix them. Market targeting in its finest while copying the best lol
I have a wonderful memory of being out on a rural Arkansas highway driving an '89 Mustang GT convertible in the early '90s. A Z pulled in front of me as we left a small town and he took off. We weren't racing, but I decided to keep up with him. I was amazed at how often I had to downshift to keep up with that Z, and how hard I had to push that 5.0L engine. I never looked at Z's the same way again.
Whas it a 300zx?
@@Technoirz It's one of the Z cars Nissan produced, having the Z1 300ZX in the 80's and the second generation (Z2) in the 90's.
I had two Mustang GTs - 1983 and 1986 before I got into a used Z32 1990 300ZX Twin Turbo in 1994. The Z with 300hp was making a lot more horsepower than the 5.0's in either of my GTs and was significantly quicker especially between 80mph and 120mph And in 1989 a Mustang GT had 225 horsepower, so if it was a Twin Turbo he could have dusted you very easily. If it was a the normally aspirated version then it was only making 222 hp so that makes more sense. @One Legged Pigeon - The Z31 was also called a 300ZX, though it only made 200hp for the turbo and base engine only 168hp. I am guessing that the original poster was talking about a Z32.
@@subxero_x i think he knows that, he was asking IF it was a 300zx lol
Lol good old 5.Slow
Just saying, the opportunity to title the episode “the great conspirazee” was right there.

The engine was very heavy , under powered, but good news the 350 chevy with monza manifold (left side) fits like it was made for it , and the rear axle on the 260z & 280z is strong enuf , yet the whole swap only adds 100 lbs to the front , tremendous upgrade

@@williamlittrell2271 I almost bought a 260z for my first car but my dad talked me out of it because he said I needed a truck. I mean he was right but I still wish I would have bought it anyways
@Arturo Ochoa The 240Z was marketed to the U.S. as the Datsun Fairlady 240z
@Arturo Ochoa that is quite true
Yesterday my Nissan dealer tried to get me as a 20 yr old broke college student to finance a 2020 370z 50th anniversary and this is making me wanna go back

@@anynonymous1585 $49k out the door with 5k down and 1k a month 🤡
Or just get a used Z or G37. It's literally the same motor and transmission . Only issue is the pre 2012 because of the water pump and galley gasket issues.
Wait and save up money till the 400s are for sale used
@@pinkeyephone6965 wait how are you broke at 20? When did you get your first job and how much did you save from then?
My first car was an 81 280zx. It was everything I ever hoped it to be. Restored it and it was so damn fun. Easy to work on, gorgeous to look at, and insanely fun to drive. Thanks for doing this video, it was amazing.
i had an 81 coupe 2-seater GL auto. really good car- i wouldn't want to have to restore one, though. mine was 11 years old, 1-owner, and nice. sold her a long time ago to buy a dime (the car- not a bag of weed)
The 240z was what made me fall in love with cars. I didn't know what it was, I didn't know who made it, I wanted it. I love this car so much, and I'm so grateful for its existence. Thanks to the Z team for making my dream car!
muk- when i was little, all we had were the xke jaguars. they were cool, but there was a lot more oil and transmission fluid on the road back then.

@@savagetuner2404 Yes, how could we forget the incredibly accurate information contained within memes and reddit, really dodged a bullet there.

That Zulu flag carries quite a tradition in Japanese naval history. Zulu, as a gift, is quite possible the most japanese "go forth and fight, for our honor" sort of message. Japan just vibes like that.
Zulu flag is international.... Almost all Naval flags are
@@nique32j Yes, it's an international standard. The Japanese Imperial Navy however granted a special meaning to it, related to the japanese culture of "do your best" which is fundamental in their upbringing
Nagumo also flew the flag from the Akagi when they attacked Pearl Harbor.
You almost got a "Bravo Zulu" from from me.
@@ImAzraa yeah it's very different from the American, " Take it easy" "don't be a try hard" culture.
Mr. K is like the Japanese Shelby, absolute legend who we should thank more for combining American and Japanese influences.
I lived in Japan a few years, where I learned the Japanese phrase for "Fairlady" translated to English is "Fairlady."
Once the 400z goes out, someone please make a modernized version of the Devil Z using it.
I'll bet my old 5 dollars shoes on that one
They will

Another great video guys, really dig what you're doing. I love my 08 350z, daily drove it several yrs but now mainly just track it. I have beat the ever-loving shit out of mine from when I bought it with 35k miles and now it has over 265k miles, same engine. I plan to buy a new Z, but waiting a yr or two so hopefully any bugs will be worked out. Thank you for the Z, Japan. And thank you, Donut Media, for the always entertaining/informative content, you guys are by far my fav car channel!

That ad was touching. I feel bad for clumsy Carl. He secretly just wants his cousins love and respect. He genuinely enjoys his cousins company and just wants to prove that he's more then people make him out to be. Carl is so wholesome, stay clumsy man never change who you are 😌
So glad I've met Mr K and Matsuo-San over the years and have been a part of the Z family for a while. Mr K's life was full of incredible stories from his Datsun Days.. Thanks Donut for making a new video covering it, to share with more people!
oh, yeah, they called and said your versa was ready!
I'm a Jazz musician and 1:15 had me in tears. The music is a meme for Jazz players.🤣🤣. Can't wait for the new Z to arrive in my country, if it isn't already here.

These bots don't know when to shut up
The research and storytelling is obscenely informative and entertaining... As usual. Shout out from the 270, formerly of the 502 and 859...and briefly the 606.
Thank you so much for bringing back the animation!!! This was a great video!
An editor prolly spent hours just to trace that finger movement for the intro.
370z owners during the intro " Am I a joke to you?" -370z owner
Couldn't have done it better, this video is a masterpiece. You taught me a lot and I'm a Datsun freak.
I have watched this many times, it's superb. My (bloody old) dad has owned a 260 for as long as I can remember. I showed him this video and he was speechless, just so impressed, and he loved learning so many things he didn't know about his beloved Z car. This has been superbly researched and the presentation is entertaining af, its amazing, thankyou donut media
As someone who’s first car was a 1989 mauve notchback 240SX this video got me emotional! What an amazing legacy that helped get SOOO many young car enthusiasts in the USA hooked on JDM cars!
That second search result when googling "Is anything more real than engineering?" is very... concerning lol
I got "doing unspeakable things to penquins"
Yall didn't mention how it came over as a Datsun first because Nissan was unsure of how the Z would sell here. Awesome video though as always dude. "I wish I could still eat chili dogs...I'd go to Cinicinnati right now boy!"

As a past Z owner, my first used Z was a brown 260ZX, only had it a couple of months until I bought my Metalic Orange & Brown, Mamual 5 Speed, 82' 280ZX T-Top...Burgundy, tinted windows, spoilers, wings, Manual 5 speed, T-Tops, 88' 300ZX...Silver 2004' 350Z Manual 6 Speed Convertible. I loved all my Z's. They never gave me any problem, only your typical flat tire and once the 04' over heated on a very hot day. I was going to buy the 380Z but always dreamed of a Corvette Convertible. I'm so happy to have experienced the feel of those cars. They were also very fast. It's a miracle I've never got a speeding ticket, any guy that wanted to race me, I floored it it waved them 👋 BYE. Wished I would have kept my 280ZX, it was the only one that spoke to me 🤣🤣🤣
I had a 260Z I got from my dad. It was a blast. My first car was a 280ZX 2+2. Since then I've owned 4 280ZXs. I still have my '82 slick top. Its getting a VH45DETT swap. I'm super excited for the new Z.
Cincinnati will still be making chili dogs/coneys when you come back here James. Great Up To Speed.
Shout out skyline chili!
I would have guessed him to be more of the Dayton type, but yeah...
Always love a new Up to Speed! I had a 350z for a while and it was one of the most fun cars I've ever had; Nissan really nailed it with those things.
not really- there were plenty of issues with the 350's. people who waited for the later 370's ended up with a much better car that didn't eat tires.....
The fighting scenes and conspiracy talk had me cracking up 😂🙌🏼 there’s no better way to learn about cars than with laughter involved!
An '83 Datsun 280 zx was my first car... still LOVE seeing them drive down the road.
The 240Z is unironically my favorite car of all time. Its heavy, its underpowered by today's standards, and above all else its god damn beautiful.

My DaD bought a Datsun 1600 in the early 60's in Hawaii and LOVED it. Then he got married in '65 and drafted in '66. He had to sell it. After his tour of duty, the Z cars came out. He wanted one SO bad, but now he had a family. One kid (me) with another on the way. DaD's hot rod days were over. 😢 He bought a '62 Chevy impala. In the late 70s, one of our neighbors had a 280ZX. DAD practically drooled every time he saw it. He would then take our family out to eat in our '76 Plymouth station wagon. At least we had something in common with Fantasy Island. 😂
Darn good stuff right here boys!!! I met Mr. K a couple years before he passed. He definitely was a bit rocker. ✌️❤️ Z for life
So… with lots of research and intense graphic designs from you and your crew, you could have expanded on why Nissan failed to do aftermarket support for the Z- 2nd generation especially. If this vehicle was such an inspirational movement and huge impact on the Japanese car market. Thanks again and cheers
The new Z is ok looking, I like how they somewhat went back to the old tail-lights but the front is just undesirable

I disagree, I think the front looks gorgeous because of its simplicity, but that is my opinion
im happy you used the song @abroadinjapan uses for his intro as background music....very city pop
Fantastic presentation, well researched and entertaining to watch, thankyou
Here’s hoping a new GT-R will follow suit in the midst of the new Z.
I wont mind the next gen gtr keep the same engines and platform but with a mhev and new interior and exterior
Very much agreed
If i remember correctly someone said that Nissan can only make one brand new sports car platform or else they go bankrupt, idk if that's true or no but if it is true then maybe we'll see the new GTR in 2023
It’s gonna be another 10 years before we see a new gtr
it’s at least another 5 years until the next gen GT-R is revealed
"SSS. Don't step on me, I've got venom brother." Has to be on a shirt 😤
You mean a frickin Kentucky Cobra Shirt?
As one of the very few SSS owners in the U.S. (they are super rare), I'd buy one in a minute.
Not everything has to be a shirt dayum
When you add a LZ24B into a 510SSS , ,it really does become a Street Screaming Specail . . . .... ah those where the days .. ..
@@missioncreekstyle3814 68SSS RHD is the rarest one and only one that has the 219 head , ,the rest have A86, that are factory planned and looks like ^06 and last of that head is the V912 ..
Thank you for giving the 280zx a call out. Mine is 1983 t 450 jwt set up
Refering to them through it usaer name NN0z and not its chassis name zNN as like Sylvias sNN or Skylines rNN made us forget about the Z31, pretty good one, confused with the Z32 because they had the same displacement and because of that called both 300ZX in their usaer name
These videos always makes our days better
I would love to see up to speed on jaguar
Same
Great job on all aspects of this video fellas. (Felt just like one of Uncle Jerry's videos...some writing and delivery style).
Hey James I have a request on a car, so I just recently bought a 1995 Mazda mx6 and know very little about it and honestly didn't know they even existed but was wondering if u could do a up to speed on one blus watching ur videos make learning more about cars is alot more fun😄
Is it just me, or did you guys change the thumbnail? 😂
They’re desperate for views now
And the title at this time too
12:36 hold tf up, vore? Am I the only one who noticed that?
That's, um, weird...
You guys should do an up to speed on the Nissan frontiers. I've had 3 of them and they're amazing off-roaders and I think it'd be a really cool and fun video.
JAMES YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT HOST TO THE DONUT SERIES. I HOPE YOU MAKE A DECENT PAYCHECK BC YOU CARRY THE CHANNEL IMO
Day 181 of asking Donut to bring old B2B back
The only Japanese car I would get excited about finding in an old barn years from now would be a Z. Hell probably just as happy as if I found a Camaro or Mustang.
I’ve been a little distant on the vids lately but any vid with an r32 in the background deserves a listen
I've got a 77 280z 2+2 and I've been working on getting it running for a month now, im excited to see what it'll do.
So wait was it a NISSAN or a DATSUN when the developed the Z? I'm confused bc you said Nissan the whole time but I thought I saw a Datsun badge on the 240?
Datsun is an automobile brand owned by Nissan. Datsun's original production run began in 1931. From 1958 to 1986, only vehicles exported by Nissan were identified as Datsun. By 1986, Nissan had phased out the Datsun name, but re-launched it in June 2013 as the brand for low-cost vehicles manufactured for emerging markets.
@@sandybarnes887 thanks!
@@TTOS69 you're very welcome, I'm happy I could help.
Nissan is the parent company... Datsun is a brand that originated before Nissan as the DAT in 1912-14... DAT became Datson, then Datsun... Nissan branded large cars trucks and buses began in about 1937 with the Nissan model 70-80-90 based off of the Graham Paige Crusader... Nissan imported a complete defunct GP assembly line and tooling from the USA. Nissan made heavy trucks through WW2, with Trucks, buses, and the Nissan Patrol 4x4 being built all through the 50's. Nissan built its own cars as Datsuns in the 1950's as well as Austins under license. The Nissan Brand returned to cars with the Cedric in 1960, then the President, Silvia CSP311, Laurel, the aquired Skyline and Gloria lines. Basically from 1960's on larger trucks and cars with more luxury were Nissans, smaller more economy cars were Datsuns... until they phased out Datsun.. sort of... pick ups in the 720 line still retained Datsun badging in some markets, as did some other cars. I own a 1957 Nissan Patrol and 3 1964 Nissan Cedrics... the Cedrics were sold new as Nissan Cedrics in Canada and the eastern USA.
The fact that they used toilet paper as an oil filter is hilarious!
Knew an old guy who used to run a filter on his old F100. He would pull the filter housing off, put in a new toilet paper roll, and run for half a year.
not funny at all- in fact, those are very good filters.
this was such a fantastic and entertaining look into the development of an incredibly iconic car! also 8:15 ayyy Abroad in Japan Journey Across Japan theme lol
Best show on KZhead. Great job as always
