- The restoration of the Datsun 240z which is a rare car in Indonesia, how about in your country? is this car rare?
A Datsun 240z in good condition can be sold at auction for up to $310,000, which is easy for you to choose a new car at that price. But this car is loved by car collectors for its history and iconic design.
It took us approximately 4 months to complete the restoration and the total repaint. Cars come with rust like 1970s cars. We replaced the floor, some of the doors and fenders and some parts of the engine bay with new plates.

Imagine these guys in a proper shop with high tech tools and safety equipment. They are amazing.
I appreciate the hours of work and the car owner supporting the business. It’s never too late to adopt much safer sanding, grinding and spraying protection for those guys. Absorbing all that sh&t through skin and lungs is just nasty 😳
Thought the same thing. Excellent work, but even primer is really bad to breathe in without true protection.
thank you for your attention
What country was this restoration done in?
@@mauriceclemens3286 Indonesia dude, where do you come from?
@@kiatmotor_ We may watch these videos but the people working aren't wearing protective gear then either they r stupid (doubt it) or the business doesn't value workers health & safety & do so to save money, which clearly they must have if they have a shop & paint booth etc. Please do the right thing & make it mandatory for workers to wear protective clothing/masks etc.
I watch auto repair videos on CZcams. It's common for mechanics and body workers to be seen using fancy tools. Everyone in this video is performing many of those same skilled tasks with simple and basic tools. I hope you continue to post more videos of your projects. There's an audience for the work you do and the way you do it. I subscribed to your channel. 👍
That's right, our tools are much simpler than workshops in your country. This is because the service costs here are not as good as in your country where they are paid hourly, even though automotive equipment is very expensive, but we do our best with limited tools
Thank you for subscribing, it means a lot to us
where are you from?
Beautiful work. Please protect these craftsmen.
thank you for your attention sir, i will
Sensational work lads... Great to see old beauties restored
thank you for watching, where do you come from?
@@kiatmotor_ Sydney Australia friend... I've been a Nissan Z enthusiast since I was a young bloke....
Always loved the
240z and the 300zx.
I currently own a 370z now and slowly slowly tastefully doing it up to what I envision.....
Parts are very expensive here in Australia so it's taking it's time, but I'm getting there....
One day I will own all 3 of my personal favourites
Only nobody taught painters that they should wear gloves to avoid leaving grease on surfaces to he painted.
Imagine these guys with a real shop....incredible.
I have restored several of these. They are a fun car for a young man. After getting older I could not get out of one.
health and safety standards are not the same in every country. safety boots alone cost a fortune. just be greatful that you got PPE and know how to use it. Theses guys are legends.
That's right, the workshops here are not paid as much as in Europe or America, even though the price of workshop tools is no price difference and may be more expensive because we have to import. That's why repair shops in America are in the garage but their tools are very complete
btw, where are you from?
@@kiatmotor_ Powell river Canada
Excellent work! However, I also agree that it’s dangerous to expose the staff to paint dust and fumes. They should not die young because of their occupation.
yes we also agree with that, but what if we get paid very much compared to the United States or Europe which reaches $100/hour
@@kiatmotor_ ... understood, but masks can be reused... better than dying young...
@@kiatmotor_ I agree with Alastair. If you can afford angle grinders you can afford masks. End of discussion rly
PPE is not that expensive, thats is just lame excuse to slowly kill people…
Impressive, I know its harder to source parts in Indonesia and the owner of the car sets the budget. He went so far, I'm surprised he didn't ask for new carpets and new dials. Again this is a classic so parts might be hard to find but well done especially in the conditions and how much was done by hand.
that's right, it's very difficult to find this car part in Indonesia because it's a classic car and it's rare here. thanks for watching, where are you from?
Beautiful restoration!
Thank you very much!
I love full restoration.
Akhirnya nemu yutuber indonesia yg bikin video restorasi kaya gini

Great work!
The Datsun 240Z is my dream car.
thank you Sir, where you from?
holy crap those star wheels are amazing!!
true!!!!!!!!
good job. I'm impressed
It is a big improvement. Amazing what was hiding under the old paint that needed correction
Great job , next time try spraying the door cavities before final paint and clear
Thanks for the tip!
I knew the safety Sally's would be going crazy in the comments 😂😂😂😂
Those beauties need to be restored !
Well done!!
I absolutely love these cars
we love too, thank you for watching, where you from?
@@kiatmotor_ Michigan. I had a 260 not sure of the year and a 79 280 zx
Very Good, Good Job.
Fantastic!! Thanks for sharing. Amazing video.
Wow!!! Thank you for watching, where do you from sir?
@@kiatmotor_ Portland, Oregon USA
@@BridgesOnBikes is there a lot of 240z in portland?
@@kiatmotor_ I’ve only seen one, and a couple 510s. I saw a pristine 1985 300zx the other day but it’s definitely rare. And we’re just starting to see right side drive Skylines the last 5 years due to importing rules. 100% nothing as nice as the 240z you restored.
@@BridgesOnBikes I thought there were a lot of 240z in the usa, because in the past this car was very popular in the usa market but it turned out that my guess was wrong
HA - the old saying - "paint hides all" has been proven true on that car when it first rolled in. Great to see the guys working their 'magic' to clean the disaster up - but nicer to see them with some PPE on - gloves, hearing protection, proper mask etc all cost 'nothing' - in the END - but you health does. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Yes, you're right, beauty is paint, but inside it's not that beautiful
Thank you for giving advice, we have prepared all the PPE but our team has the wrong habit, we always encourage them to use PPE but they feel uncomfortable using it all
Very happy our video of the work made it to Australia, are there many 240z in your area?
@@kiatmotor_ Hello - I have not seen one on the road for a long time. One of my school teachers had a brand new orange 240Z back in 1973. I have a 280Z that I will be doing a LHD to RHD conversion to, but not having any luck finding a decent RHD dash at the moment. It may pay to have some PPE training for the staff and let them understand that it is for their long term benefit, some of those chemicals, even from the wet sanding sludge, can have serious health effects, as can the dust. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
@@elvispresley3340 wow, you and your teacher have good taste. Can you use classic cars in Australia?
@@kiatmotor_ Yes - classic cars can be used here, our roads are good in the cities (mostly) - I have several classic and use them as my regular cars - HA - but I do not park close to other cars at the shopping centre.
X cars were very prone to rust,they came out before galvanized steel body panels. That’s why it’s hard to find a 240Z in decent shape today.
that's true, but that's the industrial revolution
Makin bagus video video nya bang, mantap bgt skrg mah hehe, tinggal audio nya aja nih bang dikasih sound yg no copyright. Semoga makin sukses CZcams nya banyak viewer dan subscribernya, mobilnya jg jadi dikasih anti karat mantep bgt, rapih bgt sampai gak ada yg kelewat kerjaannya
Terimakasih banyak sudah menonton dan komen masukan nya,
Iya nih kita masih acak²an edit video nya, semoga semakin baik ke depannya biar orang luar negeri tau Indonesia jg bisa restorasi mobil² keren 😀
detail, keren banget👌🏼
Terimakasih
Nice work, please protect your health too. It reminds me of my dad Datsun 120Y which was the same colour, which he owned between the 1980s to the early 1990s.
yes thank you for your attention
wow classic car, do you still have it? where do you come from?
@@kiatmotor_ No unfortunately we sold it in 1992, we then moved to a Nissan B12. I am from Mauritius found in the middle of the Indian Ocean. But the sound of the Nissan A12 engine in the 120Y is something which I miss, I am also surprised by its performance for a car which also weighed only 830Kg with a small engine displacement of 1171cc.
I still have one. I think. It's at my parents house in Ireland. Unfortunately I just learned the roof came down on the shed some time ago. Oof. Turd brown, stick shift , two door sedan. Looked damn cool with the chrome bumpers.
Old school tehnic 👍
thank you for watching
That's axesome! Perfect Z!
wow, thank you..
you from Japan? your name use kanji right?
My girl friend in college had a 240z that I loved to drive. I bought a 77 28oz 2 + 2 that was my dream car. It rusted and my supervisor sold me his 85 300zx with a turbo that was fast but did not handle well. I now own a 2004 G35 with the premium package with an automatic trans. I am looking at the 2023 Z but am afraid the crazy car market may make it too expensive to buy. I will settle for a clean 370z and drive it until I die!
wow it looks like the z series plays an important role in your life, and that's the right thing. the z series is an underrated car in my opinion because it loses prestige to the skyline but the z series is very beautiful and timeless.. where you from?
Great job, the guys are masters at their work! At the same time, to see them wearing zero protection while they work is scary. They will either develop cancers or other illnesses. Give them some protection ASAP.
Great job restoring the Z
Yes, thank you
@@kiatmotor_ Ini di Indonesia ? Di kota apa ?
@@gatotmarulitua6263 kita posisi di Klaten, Jawa Tengah
Yes it certainly is to be appreciated I have an 85 300 and I wish they would work on my car
where are you from? it must be very nice to open a branch workshop there
❤️👍🇻🇪😎 Excellent work say hello from Venezuela beauty car
hello Venezuela, nice to meet you ..is there a 240z in venezuela?
A friend and I used to swipe his dad's silver 73 when we were 14,15. And then go cruising around the county.
Very fond memories, where is your father's car now? and where you from?
Pulls of the sound deadening, bruh the paint is just pulling off rightio champ
I would let you guys restore my old Hilux! Shame its on the other side of the planet! Good looking work!
Great job especially limited resources they had.
thank you for understanding our situation, it would be great if the cost of restoration here could be like the usa
good work!! how mucht to have a other datsun 240z like this in green apple color transport in france? thx
We don't really know about the price of this car in France, it's probably cheaper than Indonesia
so i found a 240z for cheap in my area that needs some work, just wanna know about anything to be weary of like common rust spots ect, idk much about them but im excited to get into the car
where are you from? if your place is easy to find parts for 240z then it's not a problem.
for the body, you don't need to bother because of rust or porous, you can make new parts, just find a good workshop
love the Kenmeri steering wheel
the forgotten skyline, do you have kenmeri? because people rarely know this kenmeri steering wheel
@@kiatmotor_ yeah I've had 2. They are pretty cool. All my datsuns get kenmeri steering wheels when I own them.
wow, looks like it's not hard to get a classic japanese car in your country, where are you from?
Didn’t like that orange at first but as the video played…the more I liked the color. Great choice!
Called ‘burnt orange’. … big color in the 70’s
I like
thank you sir,

They made some nice looking floor replacement panels. Pity it didn't show them being replace. As I've got some floor patch panels for mine and want to see the job being done, never mind, I'll sort them out.

Love the 240 260 280 z series
I have owned 2 280s this vehicle was so far ahead of its time getting no one liked it because it was Japanese
where do you come from? how come the 280z is not liked in your place?
@@kiatmotor_ I've owned two 280Z the second one I owned had a VIN number of 415 it was worth quite a bit of money in my ex-wife stole it out of storage unit.
I was at a car show and no one came to look at my car except haggerty insurance and told me it was around 30 grand back then because of the VIN number
And then they started going up in price
sorry for what you experienced with your ex-wife, but indeed classic cars are now very expensive and can even be used as investments, things we didn't think about 10 years ago
i am curious if they have whole car dipping facilties in Indonesia. seems like that would be a better way to prepare the body . also, if this was my restore, i would see if lead could be used as filler instead of bondo
As far as we know there are no car dipping facilities in Indonesia, sandblasting is also very rare here
that's because our rates are not as high as in the usa or europe which can reach $100/hour while the price of equipment for automotive is very expensive
Mntap
Matursuwun
Man, I would totally buy one if i had the money, space to park it, skill to drive and the time to maintain one
me too !!!!
Wow, you did all.that work and then put the nasty carpet back in with the original nasty bumpers ...that crazy. You should have called this video Rust Repair on 240Z.
thanks for the suggestion, we will name the video as you suggest in the next episode
Perbedaan 240 260 280 Z selain beda cc mesin apakah geometry suspensi berbeda? Ter debest handling tipe yg mana infooo
I'm just because I'm waiting for mymechanics video ❤
you have 240z? where you from ?
I would have preferred seeing the body sandblasted in a safe environment and then protected. Love this car though. I almost bought one when I was 18 years old! I should have. Was $3,000 back then.
If the service fee in Indonesia is as big as yours, our tools will be complete and use sand blasting. we work as much as possible with minimal pay
Such a beta wimp. Those are real men
a very precarious job. many details in the repair of the metal. they definitely don't know sandblasting (for example). unrestored interior. that car needs more love!
We know sandblasting and acid to remove rust all over the body and chassis, but those facilities don't exist here, all because the service costs in this country are different from your country which is paid per hour, even though the price of automotive equipment is very expensive.
I drove one of these 42 years ago :)
This is a color that a few elegant pinstripes might have looked nice on.
This is a color with the original formula for its time, the colors of old cars were less saturated LOL

Baru ngeh ternyata di Indonesia
Halo, iya betul kami workshop di Indonesia 🙂 terimakasih sudah menonton
It's great to see people commenting regarding the safety aspects involved in this video. Sadly in "3rd world" countries labour is cheap - because the safety of the worker is not a consideration by the law makers or companies. Often (though note likely in this case) it's because First Worlders want cheap goods, and don't take the time to think about the workers making those goods...
Great restoration, btw. Have been a Zed guy since 1999 when I got my first, a 280zx. Hoping to find a good car to do an electric conversion on soon! :)
where are you from? if given a choice, we also want to get paid $ 100/hour like in the usa, that way we can buy tools that can make our work easier.
where is your 280z now? is it permissible to drive a classic car in your country?
@@kiatmotor_ I'm from Australia. I think the world is sadly very much a place of "haves and have-nots" - doesn't matter where you live. Some people will be rich, and some poor. Both within the 1 country, and then within the whole world.
My first 280zx was so rusty, I ended up taking everything off the frame and building a new one with a non rusty frame. Then, sadly, more rust... and a baby came along, and I couldn't afford to keep a sports car. :(
I could buy a 280zx today and drive it every day if I wanted. There's no laws against it here. I expect as we move toward electric cars though that the Australian Government will bring in laws that make Zed Cars a lot harder to own / drive...
One of the reasons these cars are not around anymore is the fact that they rusted faster than they could be prevented from doing so.
美しい🙏
日本車はいつ見ても魅力的ですね
日本からですか？
Different approach. Not to the level of detail I would do. I have a couple suggestions for you guys. Media blast and dip tank.
should have gone all the way with new carpet and rechromed bumpers and interior fixtures. Nice car though!
thank you for watching, the bumper has been re-chromed but the interior has not been restored because we are only working on the body.
where are you from? are there many 240z there?
That’s a lot of rust being painted over… Not my preferred approach. OHS seems optional there too!
Cost?
I'm surprised you don't dip the bodies to remove the paint and filler from the shell; more expensive, but more thorough. Also interesting you use clear coat; I don't think the original Z cars used the clear coat process, although ultimately that is faster.
in Indonesia there are no body restoration workshops that use dyeing because here we are not paid as well as in Europe or the USA which can reach $100/hour
z series doesn't use clear coat? then use what?
@@kiatmotor_ That makes sense; dipping can be expensive, particularly if labor is far cheaper than it is in the US or Europe.
For that vintage of cars, I believe it's correct to use alkyd enamel, although admittedly, this takes more work than multi-stage paints like clear coat.
Nice job though. I like your work.
very nice osha approved flip flops. why did they do all this work and not put new carpet in and fix the bumper?
we only do the paint and restoration

The workers deserve all the credit, apparently the conditions in the working environment are terrible. No uniform, no shoes, no protective glasses, no hearing protection breathing dust. It gets to be sad.

send to us LOL, where you from?
@@kiatmotor_ Nebraska USA and let me know how much 👀
how much does restoration cost in nebraska? $100/hour?
@@kiatmotor_ I’m not sure probably around their
we are far below that, our calculation is per project not per hour like in the USA. for restorations with a lot of porous we usually start at $ 7000, cheap right?
I have so many concerns with this "full restoration".
This car was in very good condition to start with, it needed minimal welding, it wasn't crashed, etc. I wish it wasnt even repainted, just paint corrected on the places where welding was done, then polished. It would be worth more in that way. If you want to full paint a car and remove all the rust, I stongly recommend sand blasting the whole chassis inside and out, because it was painful to watch all that scraping and grinding of paint. Also, I hope you took apart the whole suspension and brakes, changed the bushings, etc, not just painted it all toegether like shown in the video. I won't even start about the engine...it seemed like you didnt take it apart at all, just plated some screws and whatnot to make it look shinier. This is very much effort, but the car would be worth more if you left it as much original as you could. Thats my opinion.
If you guys want to see proper restorations of 240Z, look up S30world, it's a small company focusing only on 240Zs. We restore cars to the last tiny screw to be as it left the factory.
hello dudes,
we are a workshop that focuses on working on the body, not machines or suspensions and others.
This car arrived not original, when we scraped the paint off we found blue paint that had been overwritten, so the owner decided to repaint this car.
we are in Indonesia with a service fee unlike in the US which can reach $100/hour, so we or other workshops in Indonesia do not have sand blasting, most will use paint remover to scrape the paint but we choose to use a heat gun

"Break the Paint"? Isn't that the painted Sound Deadening???
How much does such work cost me? Please reply because I own a Datsun 73 240 z
which is definitely much cheaper than the repair shop in your country
Why put that old red interior back in?
we only do the body parts, remove all the rust, make some parts and then paint them because that's our expertise. engine and interior are not our forte, so we don't do that
Mesin dan kaki2 tidak di rebuild sekalian ya?
Kita kerjakan body saja sesuai keahlian kami 😀
5:45 there's something to be said about respirators. 🤯🤦♂️
Wouldn't bead blasting be better?
Exactly, but unfortunately in Indonesia this facility is very rarely found
Where you from?
Full restoration means everything new.
Я бы не доверил им свой автомобиль
All that work and they put the old carpet and interior back in?
We only do body restoration and repaint, the interior will be done by another workshop
That's not paint you peeled off around the spare, that's the stock sound deadening with paint on it. Calling you out as BS @ 1:35 in.
it's a painted damper, but still it's paint. lol
Exactly my thoughts. Also it's not even that rusty unerneath, it's just light surface rust, very good condition for a 50 years old car with original deadening.
Now you know why it is called bengkel in Bahasa.
Cost for this?
And good vapour masks sourced in are Asia are not that expensive if bought in bulk, many good manufacturers there, where do you think 3M source there stuff!
You should move the steering wheel to the correct side.
Correct side? Do you mean left side?
Ha Ha
It's a Japanese car, the steering is on the correct side.
Amazing amount of work, but orange on the outside with red interior? Yikes! Should have gone black inside because wow do those colours clash.
yes it should be as you imagine, but we only restore the body only
Butch,… Butch,… Butch. I guess you make the best with what you have.
All that work and no re-dye on the carpet and vinyl?!
we only do painting and restoration, we don't do interior and other parts
where you come from?
I bet they never loose their socks in the washing machine.
but our flip flops often break
berapa biaya restorasi ini? kerja bagus
biaya restorasi tergantung kondisi mobil, mini cooper dan motor mini milikmu sangat keren
Only thing wrong with the car is that the steering is on the wrong side and that non-shinny paint woulda buffed out fine.
