  • There was a gathering of Nissan/Datsun Sunnys just down the road last weekend. Prominently in attendance were the Sunny truck/pickup/ute thingy, and several B310 Sunny sedans and station wagons, including a fancy-pants California. Of the non-Sunny contingent, there was a super tidy 510 Bluebird SSS along with several early Skylines. Of course GC10 Hakosukas, a GC110 Kenmeri, a GC210 Japan Skyline,

    What I love about this the most is the period-appropriate mods by the Japanese, 13" or 14" wheels, original-style engines, period Datsun competition buckets. If it was in Australia many would have oversized modern wheels, rubber band tyres and modern engine transplants. A big thumbs-up for old skool!

      Thanks so much for watching, but also the information. I kinda like all (not really; very many) cars, so there's not much room for depth of knowledge. Just broad appreciating. Cheers

    Hi there Dan, I was wondering if this was the same meeting as an earlier video, or the meetings are a regular occurrences. I can now see what you meant by a 'California" wagon. That's the roof line my one had. In fact that was the only roof line the wagons had in Australia. The earlier square back roof-line is identical to the Sunny panelvan I had. I delivered a lot of pizzas in that van. As for growing up in the eighties, I was the one who had a 1200 sedan who took it to the street drags at Oran Park, & blew away the Toranas & other 6 cylinder cars. Even some V8's. It had an A14 & 100 rear wheel HP. Took it circuit racing in 1988, & fitted an A15. I used a crossmember form a B120 to fit the motors.

A few Pickups too...but you had to be into those books like I was in 1988 like I was. The memories flood back....Dat Sun, Dat Sun & Sunny....magic day for you, so close to home. Great stuff. 💹

    Fantastic video as always Daniel. When I was growing up people who owned older Japanese cars were considered to be poor. So finding a Japanese car of this era in the States is difficult. Though I am surprised to see the variety still on the road in Japan since I understand that the Japanese culture in the 70s-90s to have been very much indifferent to old/used things (as in products - not historical things of course). I'm glad the ones they are rocking here survived.

      Thank you! Re: Variety. I totally get that you see "the variety", but from what I've seen of old school Japanese car mags, so much has long disappeared, eh. But, I'm all about celebrating all that stuff that's still around. So, happy days

      I'm pretty sure the UA-cam comments section is not the best way to find the answers you're looking for. (Genuine advice.) Try Google, "How do I lower my Datsun?". Also, go to car shows and ask owners of lowered cars how they did it. If you still want to try UA-cam, again try searching for 'How to lower car" videos
