Frank Cannistra has a reputation for getting the interwebs buzzing. Recently he caused quite a stir by turning up at the Street Outlaws USA vs AUS in Sydney with this VR38 powered Datsun 1200. That's right, an R35 GTR engine in a tiny Datto ute. But that's not the only interesting part of this build...

Just watched with him and farmTruck Azn
Love it what a BEAST
THIS is how you build a car. Not all show and not all race. a beautiful highperformance car, that is daily driveable. Except in rain ;) I love this build. He had a good eye and great skill.
Best Datsun 1200 ute conversion I've ever seen,gtr skyline packed into a tiny ute great job enjoy it 👍 show and alot of go
This is amazing, dude seems like a legend too 👌🏼🤙🏼
Can confirm, Frank is a legend. 🙏

Frank Seems like a nice humble fella. Enjoying the fruits…👍🏻
So nice! Great to see the owner so chill and seemingly a genuine car guy from a young age.
Never expected to see a giant turbo in the tray...now that is thinking outside the box...🙂
That's thinking inside the tub!
Thinking outside the engine bay🤣
This has to be one of if not the coolest&well engineered Datsun ute’s/truck on the planet.
Much luv&respect from Hawaii...Aloha🤙🏽
Frank, well done, you are of my vintage, and I can see you have done an absolute top job.Cheers
Dude you should be damn proud of this build now this is different and clean
Beautiful build, couldn't peel myself from the screen. I was glued. Awesome stuff!
Omg this has gotta be one of the best vehicles on 4 wheels. Love it. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏
She looks perfect!!
Awesome story, wow what a beast 👏 quality work.
People like you are the reason I love the car world, inspiring work. Anything is possible with enough time put in, but mainly money helps it move faster.
I remember frank and his first white ute it was a rotor and he also raced a red rx3 for the old zoom magazine back in the day , what a legend this thing is nuts
Such a mad car. I'm surprised it was able to be registered with that engine
Thankyou, great stuff.
Any clips around of it running? I want to hear the Mang sound...
I was sow amazed by the shaved bay. And how good the V6 fit. That i didn't even notice the turbos was missing. 😅😅
So original,out of the box thinking,would never of thought to out that engine in ther. Sooooooo sick
Well done Frank great video. :)
Nice job , well done
Stunning work……💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Nice ride mate!
Awesome work bruh
What a combo!
What a sick ute!
Beautiful
Awesome! Hope ya well frank!, -Morgs from belmonties.
Beautiful the 1200 ute is my dream car
Great buckie build!
That's mad👌 what a legend
unbelievable 🤯😊
Really cool truck 🙏
Very cool 😎 👌
Awesome car - awesome dude 🤙🤙
I remember seeing the white 1200 Ute race EGG12A maybe 2002 or 2003. Crazy fast cars back then.
This is amazing 🥵
That’d be a monster 😮
Mate what a beast and your passion for this car and to see it through, I feel your pain with spending money but who cars enjoy and never sell it you'll have seller's remorse, remember SMILES 😃 PER MILES
Nice Ute 🤙
I wanna see Frank killing some tyres 🤙 what a machine
3 weeks sheeeesh. I’ve spent 2 year putting a 1jz vvti in my xj cherokee
I Want to hear it or see it drive. Looks amazing
I gotta 1200 coupe. I like this.
Edit: LOL the nitros. But love that Datsun love.
Couple years ago it was exactly the same just with the 20b was rear mount then also with the nitrous fuel tanks I like this incarnation better
I can't believe a 20b gave him more drama than getting the vr38 in there!
Ultimately imo I think he put the better engine, I say that as a 20b owner.
Absolutely a Killer car, and I don't think international viewers understand what a nightmare it is to engineer a car here to the point most avoid it due to the costs involved..
Great car ❤
nice one !! quick question, are those cooler pipes (painted) mild steel?
Great intro, well said hahha
Im still amazed at how this car looks its a work of art.
I have no idea how this is legal and registered but damnnnn.
like i couldnt even get a K24 into an AE86 passed.
Super tidy engine bay....thats how ALL cars should be.
That's one bad-ass looking truck!
Got a old but good bravo. Love if could find bit more power. Can it be tuned? New pipes not sure. But if ideas for bit more id love it thanks
💪💪💪
We have these here in South Africa and we were able to get new ones untill 2008-2009 but the only changes were engine i think 1.2 to 1.4 and we got sport versions and the name and badges switched from datsun to Nissan and the product name switched to Champ so it's called a Nissan Champ here , we also got the MK1 Golf here in South Africa untill 2009
В Сирии до 1994 последние модель были!!! Очень хорошая машина!
Would that be able to be engineered in Victoria as well? Have we got the same regulations as NSW?
This is absolutely genius.I hv my datsun 1200 stock which is very good but i want to do some tune up.Can i export to you?.pls advise.
Is that red marker or does the hoot rub on the inlet?
I need to know how he got it road legal with the ECU & no padding on the steering wheel? I have a haltech elite 2500 & Momo wheel but have been told no rego with the haltech & need padding on the momo.
Sweet ride, I like that it’s a Nissan motor in the Datsun body
These is dustzilla on steroids.❤❤❤😊
those nos tanks should be whisky barrels like a moonshiner
Anyone have an idea of what coilovers he's using?
I learned to drive in one of those
VR38 and everything? :-o
@@haltech sadly no, way back in 1991 before the vr38 was even invented
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Datto!
Haven't even shrunk the heatshrink on the R5 Connectors, amateur's. Just kidding, looks sick!
Most guys have a kart or MX Bike in the back of a ute ,you have a turbo 😂😂😂😂👍👌😎
A very thing l like is you didn't change the extrior of it just resprayed it red and you made good use of the bed if the ute and the Datsun 1200 ute is such a good looking ute l do like older Japanese utes infact l own a 1997 Toyota hilux with the aluminum tray on it l am a retired courier and have owned a couple of Japanese utes some good some not so good and my Hilux Is my last ute l will ever own and it us completly standard ss original as l can keep it getting back to your Datsun 1200 ute underneath the bonnet very nice looks purposeful which is hard to do with modern engines also some older cars to and when l saw the nitros oxide tanks l thought it had nos but they make great looking petrol tanks and the turbo in the tray because there was no room under the bonnet and it will naje fir easier sevicing if the turbo l am old enough to remember when these were around they are still around today but when they were new
Nice car
Interesting fact
A V8 3.5l Rover can be shoehorned into the 1400
What colour code is it
How do you get "street legal" with a cage and not have club plates? The only thing I have been able to engineer for a cage and street rego was a half cage in a coupe, that then needed to be registered as a 2 seater, my engineer even said no to door bars on a MX5 that had a 4 point rear roll roll cage
Info on this would be extremely helpful for people who take there regoed street cars to the strip or track
Cheers
I cant get a 13bt engineered in my datsun 1200 ute.
How on earth did you get legalised for a 20b or the gtr motor?
Whos your engineer?
Is it running ?
Yep!
@@haltech In South Africa those little things are legends. Great job , don't know how you guys did it !
How did that get Engineering approval?!
Money
How the shit did u get this engineered
mate of a mates cousin lmao
Wogs know Wogs and Wogs are Wogs that’s how you get it engineered.
Very tidy engine bay
100%! Even better to see it up close in person.
Good luck convincing a cop not to defect you 🤣🤣
I think gtr swapped grand national would be sick.
YES!
I'd leave it as is....just for functionalities
Hmm
Это какая страна???
Can u drive this at 300km ? It’s not safe aye
Its a shame he didnt turn it on😢
Mais c est quoi un schow roum ou ca roule vraiment
Nice car but sorry dude as soon as I saw what was in the back tub turbo/dual tanks that wrecked it for me would have looked nicer without all that in the back not taking anything away from your work nice car
the 20b didnt want to be in a lesser car. a datsun isnt a mazda mate.
That must have lag...turbo far from the intake n exhaust
Makes Adam LZ's 1200 ute look a bit outdated and boring.
J ai un problème avec ce moteur qui a etait inventer par un nazis le rotatif 1300cc bon bon moteur puissant mais très polluant a ce qu on dit mais de voir une si petit cylindres défoncé des 10L je ne peux que saluer 🙏😑🤲🇫🇷👉😑👆🇨🇭🤝
Montre moi ta voiture je te dirais ta façon de panser
The whole engineer stuff is just a piss take!! Really ??. I got pulled up for a 202 red motor in a FE holden saying that needs to be engineered.
thats what im thinkin too
Nice. Points lost for Hoonigan sticker. Sorry
Edit: NOS fuel tanks!? Cringe level rising, I'll keep watching
Edit: Yeah, lost me at "what's a VR38?". Chequebook car guy. Even thinks the stereo is important
If only UA-cam kept the dislike counter on, we'd be able to really see just how "popular" your salty view is.
Yes,shut up ,go play with ur dolls
sik ute! what do rods and pistons have to do with emissions and engineering
mr heli
Sr20det would have been better option.thats a look at me an my money i cant drive
