Nissan’s Datsun took the American streets and tracks by storm in the 1970s. From the BRE 510 and 240Z to compact trucks and the B210 Honey Bee, this is the story of a brand that built a huge name for itself and then decided to leave that name behind.

It's Pumphrey's Birthday! How should he celebrate while social distancing? Most creative suggestion gets pinned!
Split up and try to find his dad so he can get 30 years of presents.
Drag racing his father, on a Shelby GT500
Should his father not be located, Nolan must be his new opponent
Idk but I’ll celebrate by smacking my donut sticker on my dash. Give him his dream car and let him drive back roads where no one is.
Celebration stream!
U should get a custom made Pumphrey 502 with a 502 big block engine
Day 90 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
dedication man ....
Keep fighting the good fight my man!!
“Give up” it’s definitely not in his book.
Keep going, man!! 💪
His dad was so fast to leave that we cant get up to speed...
Editors: how can we kill 40 seconds?
James: Lightning, lightning, lightning!!!
*THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER!!!*
I went looking for this comment 😂
Thunderstorms eh?
@@christopherlucas6606 there slow and has alot of lag... IT SHOULD BE LIGHTNING LIGHTNING
I will admit, it was quite beautiful..
Thank God that weird dude in the audience is back, he's really amped James up
I wonder who he is??
james is nothing with out lil boy Jaime lol
@@ishaqhussain5345 the world may never know, but he seems to be here to stay...
WEIRD!?
Pretty sure that dude is a super fan who had plastic surgery to make himself look just like James...🤔
My father recently passed and he was the one driving the blue datsun. I want to say thank you for featuring him in the video.
Donut protecc
Donut attacc
But, most importantly
They bring James bacc
Aao Beta :v lightning lightning lightning
Shut up Redditor
He lost a shitton of weight
James has the most fun playing with himself.....
thankfully it isn’t NNN
@@m_ridian wtf?
Dont we all my friend
Just don't take it the wrong way than you'll get a laugh.
As we all do
is no one gonna talk about James having a r34 behind him
Carter Crabbe I WAS SAYING THE SAME THING
It's a green screen. 2:07
Is it a green screen or am I tripping 😂
I thought you meant Rule34 fck
Are r34s really that big a deal to yanks😂😂
Not gona lie that "Lightning, Thunder" bit had me giggling 😂
Datsun: Introduces 240z
240z lovers: *_you just changed our lives forever_*
I love the datsun 240z 😍😍
I love the 240, I want one really bad but ya know...kinda hard to find :,)
Also their carbureted so they’re a bitch to tune.
고등 지능 ODINS trash sr20 swap it
@@tony_5156 Just checked the local classifieds. There's 1 '74 260Z for sale in my country. 30000€....
280z is the king for me
5:01 deleted scene from Cars, lighting McQueen and chick hicks
I'm rofl
Cachow!
when you say "nissin" it just remind me of those cup noodles
That’s how it is pronounced.
Not “Nee-sarn” like Americans say it.
@@timsunderland5153 Nissan is actually a Japanese work. In Japanese, the character "に" (Ni) is pronounced "Nee". The way James pronounces Nissan is incorrect
When I was young, I used to be mad at Datsun for stealing Nissan's cars.
lmao
Nissan kinda did. The skyline was a product of the Prince motor company, as a luxury car. In the 60s Nissan bought Prince. Nissan continued to manufacture the Skyline but started to remove the luxury items and turned it into a sporty sedan and coupe.
The current skyline is now a crossover SUV. The last skyline sedan/coupe was sold in the us as the Infiniti G35, the only skyline ever officially sold in the US. The current GTR officially has no lineage to the previous skyline GTRs according to Nissan.
@@CamaroAmx :facepalm: m0e whyy.mp4
CamaroAmx actually the current Skyline is what we Americans refer to as the Infiniti Q50 and the Infiniti Q60. The V35, V36 and V37 Skylines were all sold as Infiniti’s in the US, the G35 and the G37 come to mind, since these are Skylines. The circular taillights in the rear is a dead giveaway as to what car it really is.
@@original__gmebvy you probably right but to me they're just 350Zs and 370Zs with slutty dresses. They sound the same in video games and real life.
1:03
James: Waddup Marty and Moog, let's friggin' hang!
COVID-19: I don't think so
They have a really sick rb26 swapped 240Z
Oh really. Marty and Moog thought the coronavirus was when you drink too much Beer!?
That's normally what makes a sick down under 🙃
@@arinb.756 Well in their case, they were a bit forced to get another engine since Aussie laws aren't that friendly. But yeah RB26 is the Japan LS swap.
@@arinb.756 So as the 2jz cuz the 2j gets into more cars than the rb26
When i saw Marty and Moog i lost it !!!! I've been following them for years, and now i'm here for the constant need of donuts.
Yep, didn't expect that tbh
The 240Z is my favorite classic car 😍 Thank you, Donut
Same!
280z all the way
May the devil rise again!
We called the Datsun 510 we had, “The Tank”. It was unstoppable. Totally reliable and we loved it. Thanks guys.
What a funny coincidence! I had a car(early '90's) I [nicknamed] "the tank", too! Difference is, the car i named that was my 1980 BMW 528i. It's also funny how both cars have a 3 digit numeric designation that begins with the number 5. My reason for calling it "the tank"(German, of course) was the SAME as yours . . . unstoppable* vehicle! By mid 90's, I was driving a white '69 510 4-door. I loved that 510, especially after the many performance upgrades I did to it. It was so much fun to drive! Today, I drive a Toyota TUNDRA. I call it: "reliable".
Rather buy a challenger
@@harrygregory6227 rather put my head in a meat grinder
Should make a Mo’Power Baby movie staring James and which will kick off the Donut Media Cinematic Universe
"The guy who invented salt." Hi-larious!
I immediately paused to look it up too like a dumbass
@@justheretowatch5781 jajajaja I did to man

*Japan:* ohhh dat sun..
tommy d u b b s lol nice man
Two suns
I was your 69th like
anyone remember roadkill's rotsun?
Also hello skyline
Easily my favorite RK car.
Roadkill..sellouts
I learned how to drive manual in a Datsun. They'll always have a special place in my heart.
When COVID19 gets bored of ruining the world and goes away I look forward to MCM meets Donut!!! Yeeesssssss!!! 🇦🇺🇺🇸👍🏼
LIGHTNING!! LIGHTNING!! LIGHTNING!!
And now, introducing THUNDER!! THUNDER!! THUNDER!!
"what up Marty and Moog! Let's hang!"
Problems with the Miata?
Those two channels together would be madness. Can only hope
FUCKIN MAAAAADDDDDDDD!!!!!!!
Would be the best collab of the moment
They already had a badass crossover with RoadKill, maybe they'll do it? But then again Donut doesn't seem to be making as many cars so I dunno.
maybe on money pit i guess...
I hate to say it but, James you are the one and only reason why I watch Donut Media. I have to say thank you and I greatly appreciate everything that you do.
Dude I’ve been going through all yalls vids and I absolutely love and enjoy your enthusiasm breaking the history and charisma with your jokes I laugh out loud every time you drop those gags or impressions, and the audience you kills me every time lmaoo
Love the highly researched content presented in the James’s most exciting way. Thanks for the call out to Moog and Marty. But seriously, do a collab please 🙏🏽
No body:
James: NISN
idk how he's a car enthusiast but still pronounces Nissan wrong 😭
R Jasp he jokes a lot with his pronunciations but this one..
fr wtf lol
Actually a lot of countries say it like that, only North America says it I believe
James must be watching a lot of Top Gear, he's pronouncing Nissan wrong.
I've been in love with Datsun since my dad got his '75 280Z. Glad you guys finally did an episode on them!
Datsun and Nissan bring so many memories to mind. I'm sure every car enthusiast has a Datsun/Nissan that they've always admired 😃
*_Donut media never failed to entertain me._*
Edit: for how many days I've been commenting on UA-cam finally I got 4 likes thank you guys
Three things:
1) I looked it up, and YEAH! Paul Newman IS James' uncle. (I got your back, James!)
2) The oil embargo MUST be mentioned because it's as important then as the COVID-19 situation is in 2020.
3) Donut Media for Congress!
wait no.... no... it can't be. NEWMAN IS JAMES UNCLE?!?!?
I couldn't find anything on the subject ( Paul Newman as James,s Uncle)
What are your sources
James Pumphrey for Secretary of Transportation
I still have fond memories of the Datsun Sunny from the 80’s. It was our first family car. London, UK.
JAMES, your ridiculously hilarious at a fever pitch in this one. I LOVED the John Morton line, ‘The guy who invented salt’ 🤣🤣 Great job on this vid guys!
That lightning thunder bit is the best thing I’ve seen on the Internet in a long time
Lol I couldn’t stop thinking of James May when I heard “Brown Car”
*RCR has entered chat*
RCR: Am I a joke to you?
BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN ERZA POUND

LIGHTNING!! THUNDERR!!!!! was BADASSSSS
Agreed! LIGHTNING and THUNDER was bada$$!

A project Binky crossover would be awesome too!
This was the best UTS I’ve seen in a while, and they’ve all been good.
this whole video is killing me. ITS KNEE-SAWN HOLY MOLY
5:00 has to be one of the best things I’ve seen on donut media so far
"Up to speed on Le Mans"
I don't have any socials apart from youtube(if you can call it ), but stay safe and healthy Pumpfreys and the team at Donut. You guys have helped in ways some wont understand and others will. Once Again thank you Donut Team.
Thumbs up man! That was both entertaining and educational!
Last time I came this early she laughed at me
Jesus
I didn't come here to get insulted.
2:04 he actually got me!! Haha. Loved the mcm call out, boys. Keep growing, we love you.
Keep doing what you doing love watching your videos in the morning give me a good laugh learn a little something to every time thanks again!!
This channel is amazing man
Love datsun, happy to be here early. Donut is the only youtube Chanel i wont miss a single episode of :)
I hear you, brother. Datsun is a beautiful corner of the automotive market and witnessing another legendary up to speed is special in its own right.
Am I the only one who wants a up to speed on subaru legacy???!!!!
If they do one, I reckon he'll do outback as well
@@poke696 I want all legacy models to be covered in the episode the rs, the gtb, the outback, that pickup thing
If they do the legacy they should do the Gallant if they haven't
No, I love my aircraft carrier and we need an up to speed on it!
Bonus points if the diesel gets a mention
6:53 first class, little dog tangent. THIS is why I keep coming back, never change donut media.
Loved the lightning-thunder but. You always crack me up dude. Thanks for all the laughs💙
Me: Sees Donut uploaded a video about Datsuns and knows it'll somehow increase the value of them.
Also me: *smiles knowing I already own one*
You see the $300,000 240?
saaaaaaame brooo
I saw on the internet a little bit rusty but working 240z was for like 8000€
Flatbed Hardbody yea the 432R I was like holy freakin Crap
@@charlesbissey9901 that car was sold at my work, I spent 18 hours detailing that thing.
We expected it to do like 80k then somehow it was at 100k and then just kept climbing. It honestly was fuckin crazy lol
James is my HERO, one of the best episodes I have seen in a while.
I love this channel so much the personalitys on the show are perfect and it helps me learn so much about cars already subbed and put on notifications
Oh Man watching all the episodes all over again!!!! Donut media is tight!!!
When you’re drawn to old shit-boxes that needs a motor to overpower the chassis. Datsun.
Well same thing goes for the e30
I like your e30 but that's half true the e30 is a good car and so is the 240z.
@@arevo8702 Off course, this one does have a more epic status than the E30 though.
Yo I love your e30 2j swap? Any updated soon?
Jewelscoop I’m back home now, so yeah will be bringing it back to life again.
Yes.
5:00
*THEIR POWAS HAVE COMBINED TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE STORM*

A1MAR FACTS
Love the new video! such amazing timing I just finished getting my 240SX s14 with an engine swap but couldn't get it to start so just towed it to a shop. Can't wait to be drift around corners! go the same engine as the S15 in it.
My dad raced the 510 for Datsun, thanks for making such a great video Donut!
i have a Subaru Brat, and theres parts on it that say Datsun, including the key and ignition cylinder, hilarious, not to mention the oil filter also belongs to 1970's Datsuns.
I didn't know what was drawing my to YT, But when I opened it I saw "1 minute ago" and I knew.
Great video, very interesting learning all about the Nissan brand!! Thank you!!
I love these kinds of videos, no pun intended
Person1: is Dat your car?
Person2: yep, Dat my car.
He’s back to his energetic ways, i love it 😂
Heart's probably fully recovered.
It was really inspiring to see the Humphrey Brothers have that moment 😍
Been absolutely loving these videos!! I would love to see a video on the Prinzing Motor Company that was created back in the 70’s.
"I can feel the power of Asgard flow through us brother!" 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I'd buy that shirt tbh
Shout-out to Marty and Moog!!! Nice!
Lol hilarious yet informative. Im glad this was video was on my homepage otherwise I’d have never found it.
Great episode!!! Thunder! Thunder!
God damnit guys I really missed Audience Member. So glad he's back.
Happy Birthday James! But damn, you guys have to do Everything you need to Know: Olds/Hurst 442. The hidden Supercar of Oldsmobile
I really love how many ads I have to watch during your content. Makes me want to binge every episode.
I have not even started the video yet but I’ve been waiting for this for so long
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Pumphrey!! Ive been watching since the start youre so funny and informative. Im glad youre doing better and recovered. Love the GTR in the back hope you drive it!
Finally I’m early on one of these
I'm so glad I found Donut Media
Funny entertaining and best of all informative. Great job and thank you
yknow i hope James can meet his dad just so he can have closure 🥺❤️
also my favorite episode on Donut Media
I actually looked up to see if John Morton started Morton salt 😂
And!?
So......???+!!??!??!?!?
@@imminent3178 brawl stars sucks
@@captinmurphy1999 okay?
WE NEED TO KNOW!
Had an 84 Nissan/Datsun 720 pickup since highschool. I have other trucks, but that Nissan is my forever truck
These videos are the best
I appreciate the Marty and Moog S/O. Been watching them for years
*Wangan Night intensifies*
240 Z (Devil Z)
Good anime like Initial D
Wangan midnight was hella boring
Yea it was kinda boring
Wangan Midnight is actually good. But, it's not for everyone.
@@arinb.756 Yeah, i tried watching a few episodes of it. I didn't even watched the 1st real race of the anime because the story is really weird. Like the car cannot be controlled by all of it's owners because the car is possessed. That turned me off. It's racing man. I don't need possessed car BS. The protagonist also crashed the car. Rebuilding the car is too long for me. A crashed car means no racing for a while also in the anime. I didn't even know that it's more about tunning.
I don't know if it's worth another try watching some of the episodes. Maybe it will get interesting...
I watched Capeta. That is another racing manga/anime that I know is good.
Can you suggest any racing anime/manga? It doesn't have to be just cars.
I watched the marathon anime on Netflix. It's more on the reality of college marathon running. It's not good but I finished it.
I tried watching Free the swimming anime. I stopped watching it because the characters started to get weird. It's like the they are male guys but the scenes are almost gay.
I also have watched Yowamushi Pedal. A highschool cycling racing anime. It's kind of fun not to be taken seriously racing anime.
@@yaboi6613 stfu
Finally I've been asking for this sinve yall started making these! 240z is a badass car my dad had two.
Can we all agree to change his name to James "Thor" Pumphrey
oh yeah! and happy belated birthday JTP
My grandfather has a '68 Datsun 2000 Roadster in Ivory. Beautiful car, he bought it back in '68 and has had it ever since. He doesn't drive it much because years ago someone slashed the top and stole everything from inside.
I love how the end of clock just matched up with that beautiful sound
Best channel for quarantine & chill
I like the fact that’s a $300,000 dollar car just chillin behind him
Hot damn this was one of the best Up To Speed's in a while. Fantastic job
Let’s go finally Datsun
Love this
I love these videos so much 😂❤️
