Starting a new chapter in my life with my 1981 Datsun 280zx by building this car and to show others my passion and love for the car community including vlogs, reviews, events, meets, photography and behind the scenes. In this project I look forward meeting new people down the line and work with close family memebers and friends. I hope you all enjoy. Please be sure to Subscribe, like and comment.

Another cheap and aesthetic mod would be to red out the tail lights. The only con will be your reverse light is now red.
@@natedavis5194 I would definitely do that if I had the updated FA5 when they got the facelift cause the rear taillights had more white but at the moment im loving the rear but not a bad suggestion appreciate the feedback!
Did u just tourque the wheel with a tourque stick?
@@cuongong3976 that’s right !
isnt the plastic adhesive on the decal supposed to be peeled back off the actual logo just leaving the vinyl on the car or am i trippin ?
@@Quan_fa5 I think it get what you mean so there was 2 protected layers the back one was the adhesive which goes on the door by top part comes off afterwards there’s is a small outline and also it looks like another layer but eventually that layer eventually disappears overtime
Pretty much
Are you still running these skunk2 shock ? And hows the ride for daily drive after a year later ?
@@JayM-bu2wp Hey there Currently I’m not riding on my skunk 2 lowering springs I’m on my 2nd set of coilovers at the moment but I had them for about a year, at the time they still felt great if you’re planning on running them I would probably change the shocks for a more sporty feel but they work for along time .
Tbh, thats clean.
Dude i need the link to the weathertech
@@alomechanthasinh4079 I gotchu! www.weathertech.com/floor-mats/

@@alomechanthasinh4079 Hey there! Much Appreciated!

@@MrAmazingasian16 Hey there! My apologies that was the one thing I forgot to add in this video so sorry about that but I have the link for you right here. baysonr.com
Hi Kelvin
Kelvin.
audio is a bit low
Yeah unfortunately the camera I am using has a built in mic and it doesn’t allow me to add an external mic I’ve been searching for a camera to get better audio quality and better video quality
Appreciate you posting all of the work done. It’s not easy doing these upgrades.
Hey there ! appreciate the feedback I always worried I might bore you guys but that makes me feel alot more confident very much appreciated!
Dude get a mike. For years you've known this. Where is the Z?
Trust me i know unfortunately my camera doesn’t allow an external mic but im trying to get a new camera soon for better audio and video quality & don’t worry Datsun is still around there is a video coming soon ! Already filmed it just got to edit but expect it to come by July or August.
Who the hell is Mike and why does he need to be in the video
Worst lower springs
Where did you buy the wheel spacers?
Zcardepot.com but just a heads up I’m not sure if it’s for all Datsun but they only fit the fronts only. The threads on the rear were different for me.
Bro, show the process. you film yourself more than the car
where’d you buy your 02 sensor
Zcardepot
Nice work like how that fender came out buff and wax the whole car to blend with the fender I have the same one 07 fa5 in silver✌️😎
Hey there! Much appreciated! I would wax and buff the car but I’m afraid more of the last layer of clear is starting to fail so a possible respray the whole car in the future.
U can do paint correction or just respray 😎
Acuity bushings are available at Home Depot bro, for like $4 if you know what to look for 😂
I don’t blame you! I walked in there time to time and I brainstorm like crazy !
I could watch these videos alllll dayyyyy long hahahaha. Love the content definitely subscribing!!!!!
Hey there ! I really appreciate that feedback there’s a lot more to come in the future !
How much did it cost to buy all the materials? My fa5 needs a repaint too!
It really depends it varies how much of the body you’re painting but a rough guess you’re looking at a total of 100-150 bucks for paint, primer, 2k clear and sanding materials
Inside the garage you get less dust an defects
Absolutely!
How much did you get these for ?
2 hundred I believe from kingsmotorsports
How come all Fa5 i see are lower in the rear and the front slightly higher?
It depends on the lowering springs sometimes it’s takes alittle time to settle in eventually i upgraded to coilovers and adjust my suspension to where the point it angle down since it’s FWD to suit my specs
@humilityofficial4941 so your car now is set up front positive rake and on these cars is that ideal? As opposed to rear rake
@@AberdeenPass Currently have it to were the front is lower than the rear, I would say yeah I’ve seen most FWD vehicles have that kind of rake.
I just installed lowering springs and it's really low that my rear camber arms is banging the chassis when hitting bumps any fixes?
So it’s a general must for lowering FA5 but you’re gonna have to get a pair of rear lower controls arms to solve that issue it’s very common for FA5 I found this out later down the road hope this helps!
Came out great man! Love the content!
Hey there ! Appreciate the feedback!
omg my FA5 needs this!!
The clear coat recall is real 😩
I’m just now starting out with this car stuff so this definitely helped !
Hey thanks for the feedback & that’s great to hear ! Good luck to you and your journey , you’re gonna have tons of fun and meet awesome people !
Nice vid, wish i had some windy roads near me.
I would recommend a Road trip to a touge or track that’s definitely on my bucket list
Nice one bro 👍
Much appreciated!!!
fye.
Inspirational type shii ( not to be cheesy) 2:16 but I need a nice Honda
All good appreciate the feedback, want to do more stuff like this in 4k
Man, I wanna do an fd swap
Me too!
Sweet Video! Makes me miss my FG2.
Hey there! Appreciate the feedback, these cars are so much fun I totally understand I would definitely miss my FA5 if I sold it.
I’m pretty sure you installed your camber plates wrong. Camber is in and out. You have it set up for front to back= caster.
Hey there can you explain more ? Im pretty sure its set to only camber adjustment.
How are the MaxpeedingRods coilovers feeling?
So far so good they’re definitely worn from the the last year of abuse but definitely need to be replace in the upcoming future.
Nice video bro!
Appreciate the feedback bro!
could you do a fd2r convert, would be sick and unique ride
I definitely would love to convert it to the FD2 one day for now I’m still loving the FA5 look but it is a must in the future
I suggest upgraded your coilovers
Coming soon
Omg thank you so much !
Wheel specs?
What are the wheel specs 17x8 +35?
Yes they are 17x8 I believe they’re +30
@@humilityofficial4941 cool I’m fixing to get the same ones in bronze for my si.
8" wide, +30 offset and a 3mm spacer all while lowered? No wonder you rub 😂😂😂 This set-up wouldn't work on stock suspension lol
wish my FA5 looked like this
Still can, you can do it! I would love to see the progress!
awesome build bro keep it up #294 sub
Thank you so much! Very appreciate the support!
Just got into your videos and got me scared with that intro 😂
Click bait 😅
Planning to get this tomorrow, after 10 months you installed this, how is it holding? ride? handling etc?
That’s awesome! Congrats! So far suspension is holding up pretty well I’m actually gonna go back and adjust height and camber in a upcoming video in the future.
THANKYOU SOOOOO MUCH THIS IS WHAT WE NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH
if you have vibrations in the front at 60 or 70mphs its going to be some possibilities, i.e ; could be your wheel hubs, ball joints, A-arms or tie rod ends. maybe even your suspension or steering rack - n - pinon. these are all possibilities. i hope this helps you out brother, God bless.
Hey there appreciate the feedback! , that’s what I was considering and nervous about so far I didn’t see any visible worn out ball joints or loose suspension etc but I am planning on upgrading my suspension further down the line.
Thank you, thank you soo much this is just what I needed
