- Опубліковано 20 жов 2023
- Larry Chen attended the GT-R Festival in Australia and came across a very special build that is the brainchild of a pizzeria owner. In the 18 years Larry has been shooting car photography, he has never seen something this insane or unique. It's a 1985 Datsun Ute powered by a 2015 Nissan VR38 GTR motor with a one-of-a-kind turbo setup and fuel tank system.

Without Larry Chen none of us would know about 90% of the cars and events that go on around the world. Larry is Car Culture and we all appreciate Larry's dedication and hard work to bring us the best automotive content in the world. Again thanks Larry.
Thank you guys as always for watching. I always try to find the builds that inspire me.
I’m definitely excited about having joined the Hagerty Drivers Club…. AMAZING work Larry.
this is absolutely great and inspiring content.
Nissan 1400 South Africa
Awesome 🙌 thanks . 🤩
Aussies JDM passion is out of this world.....
Yes, Australians have a long history with Japanese cars. However a Datsun ute is not JDM.
Anybody know that’s guys IG? I would love to keep up with his clean builds
If only he could pronounce key words correctly. Like Geedy-R.
@@markusgeimer3099 It's like how americans say mazda and nissan wrong and how brits say nike wrong.
In South Africa we call them "bakkies" and the 120 Datsun is one of the OG's here. Later it was updated with a 1400cc motor, square headlights and finally a 5 speed box. They are considered indestructible. He would not be able to drive 1km here without someone stopping him and making an offer. Until eventually he would just be hijacked.
As a fellow South African, I 100% agree with this statement ^^^
Beautiful, insane build, I am at a loss for words. It's everything a hot rodder ever wished for. You are a master builder.
Once again, Larry has shown us a crazy cool car. I love watching Larry's content. The production is top shelf!!
always love australia content, feels great seeing footage of buildings I've walked past 😊
I love engine swaps into things unexpected but cool and this is right there at the top for me. You can see how much the owner just loves the Ute. He did it exactly how he wanted it done and worked around issues with ingenuity. Plus I love those old imports. They just never had power and with so many options today, it is great to see what motivated people dream up. Great pick Larry. More like these please.
Welcome back to Austraya mate! 👋
What an amazing build, love seeing something completely different from every other build out there
This vehicle is so nicely packaged, I really cannot fault it.
That is real car enthusiast work. Sticks out so much from year by year motors. Great job fella, so impressive.
This is a real masterpiece in mechanical engineering
Soo FRIGGIN BAD AZZ, I don't have any other words to explain just how incredible this truck is. Mad Respect to our Aussie brothers and sisters, their passion for JDM is on another level. Thank you for sharing, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊
He said he looked around for the right ute and he found this one which was really clean. I took that to mean it's an Australian market pickup, unless of course he went to Japan to search for a pickup and brought it to Australia.
@justme307 I understand the truck isn't but Thank you
What a beautiful rig I love how you can just drive it anytime you want
Nice, highly nice, highest grade! Man, on how calm and sublte you bring that content on! Very nice to take us to those trips! Great stuff, man.
Much respect to the builder!!! Classic straya build!!! Hectic!!!
Great video guys :)
Such a clean unique ute...... Great content.
It's a pity that it rained that day otherwise knowing aussies, we could've seen a few full throttle pulls.
Same, I was sad to not see any acceleration clips.
Such a cool build💎🌟 and owner seems so chilled and likeable 👑
Incredible build! Love it
Iconic Sydney car .. frank is a top bloke 👍🏼 great video Larry
I expected to skip through this video with very little interest but holy hell! That has to be the baddest truck ever!
Beautiful City, Car and Location. I’ve been there at night a couple of years ago
I’m an American that lived in South Africa in the mid 80’s…
I visited in 2006 only to find that Nissan STILL produced this exact Nissan 1400 Bakkie with the SAME A15 4 cylinder carburated engine that I had in my 1981 Datsun 210!
Incredible build.
There are quite a few of these small Datsun Utes in Greece. I think it's time I start looking at them from a different perspective! 😅🤟
Magic build…i love that its fully street-able race car.
No doubt some cleaning after the shoot with the rain 😅
Perfect sleeper pick up , love it❤❤❤❤❤
Fun build. Sure would have liked a couple of pulls, & A few slices of pizza too! Great video ! Thanx !
Thanks Larry! Makes me wished I'd kept my 84 Chevy S-10 and done this type of build.
S-10 with an LS? I'm sure it's way more common than the build in this video, but would be super cool nonetheless.
This is the most over the top build I've ever seen.
Incredible build.)))
this is CLEAN
Felt a sense of pride watching the Aussie Datto on this channel
I really enjoy seeing some of the different variations of models compared to what we would have here in the USA
Absoluty insane
If this guy puts as much thought and care into his pizza as he does his cars then I'm putting that on the "must experience" list for when I visit Australia.
Stooged again!
Frankies pizza is the best
Beautiful ute, this was on hoonigan's this vs that
Dope!! 💯💯
This build is soooo clean, great job!
The first to be a single turbo for sure!
good choice very well done build
I love when Hagerty puts out Pure Craziness death traps 😂 😂
Awesome build 👏 😎
All i can say (WOW) THE PERFECT PICKUP ❤ AUSTRALIANS KNOW HOW TO DO CARS 🇬🇧♥️💂🏻♀️
It's a great car, I have one like it
this is definitely my dream built, if I could afford them 😂
This is definitely my favorite engine swapped truck!
If his estimate on weight is correct, this is a 1000# vehicle with around 500 rwhp. That is super bike power to wt ratio. What a great build.
You should see the lowered lwb datsun sunby ute ran by the ex barrell bros alloy wheel refurbishment Co.
And hes building a Viperccino.....
Maybe i needs datsun car like thah to work right now 😂
The gentleman says that it is an 85 model, the platform originally dates back to the early 1970's.
Such a nasty build! I love it!
Dude......we have a ton of these in South Africa, we love our Nissan 1400 Bakkies........you`ll find K-swaps, 2JZs, V8s and 13Bs.
Makes me want to track down my Dad’s old ‘73 620 pickup and try something similar.
$$$$$$
I knew a guy who had a 520 1300 back in the 70's. I drove it many times. Seemed the more heavy-footed I drove it the slower it went. It ran better with a light foot feeding throttle gently after upshifts. Probably carb issues, but that's my main memory of the vehicle. Learned to drive a stick with that 520.
Sweet Mid-Mount Turbo😎
Young fella is wearing that cute ute! 😎
The front tires are so small and the back where the power goes are so wide. Does it have understeer and oversteer at the same time?
Built for straight line racing mate. Hence the skinnies up front and drag meats at the back. Made to party. 🍻 Cheers
Most awesome....
Nice rc truck
That would be a sick RC build please build one!
These cars had 48 kW with the original 1400 cc engine, torque was 130 N.m
Top speed 155 Km/h
I think the earlier 1200 engine had a top speed of 135 - 140 Km/h
My BMW E30 feels tiny next to the new Porsche 911s
9:45 that’s what she said lol
I just did a metal restoration on one of these datsuns it was a rusty mess new quarters new door skins new sills new floor pans new tray in the back cowling off it was a mission
Best series on Hagerty. Good work Larry and crew. Tom Cotter is second. Sorry Tom.
The video thumbnail is missing a caricature shocked face
God I want it!!!
Another build idea
a BEAMs swap Toyota Publica Ute drift spec
Sweet car hey Larry wanna buy a 260z
He should have left the old school double square headlights ❓️❓️❓️
Its a 1200, they had round from factory
damn. respect/.
Such a beautiful setup sounds great too. Can't believe the price of gas in Australia $2 a liter it's a $1.4+ a L here in Canada. Stupid gas company making billions of dollars in profit and stll not enough.
8 dollars a gal in California
Do not move to California
@@connoisseuroftigolbitts Really dam
@@markchapman2585 yeah sucks like hell
@connoisseuroftigolbitts I am happy we got rid of emissions or my car wouldn't be on the road. But we don't have E85 that kinda sucks.
1.4 CAD? don't complain at all, last time prices were in that ballpark in Europe was 18 years ago...!
Larry, hmu next time you're in Seattle! Let's get a cup of coffee.
Power-to-weight ratio: 📈📈📈
this should be called Datsun Abomination Truck AKA from Hell,,
❤ Toyota Corolla GR ❤
Who is Larry Chen
Who are you
@@carsaregood911 i am your Father
Datto 1200’s used to be worthless now mega bucks.
Yo that engine’s from a GT-R? Yeah mate. GEE. DEE. RRR. 🇦🇺
huh... it's empty down here...
Nissan 1400?
Like I said, like I said,
like..

While Americans are the most insane on any kind of cars modification, the only limit is imagination, Australians are the most insane in fitting any kind of engines in any kind of improbable cars...😁
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🫣
In Germany Ute is a girl's name.
