- This episode, I restore and repaint the front suspension of the Datsun 1200 which consists of control arms, steering components, sway-bar and more! We're getting close to getting the running gear back into the car and with the suspension ready we're pretty much there!
Make sure to show your mates what I did in this video:

32Builds is a channel to showcase the progress and techniques I will use on my Datsun 1200 restoration project. I post videos on my build projects, various how to's as well as footage of events that I visit. My aim is to show you that with enough passion and persistence, anything is achievable.
Why 32? The number 32 is pronounced 'san-nii' in japanese, sounding like Sunny. This channel was birthed on the build progress of my 1976 Datsun Sunny pick-up. To checkout the full playlist of the build progress, check out the link below!

Thanks for stopping by :) - Авто та транспорт
I said it once and i will say it again. You are an inspiration. I've watch this clip with so much excitement. Thanks to your videos i will begin this year to restore my 1200. Greeting from Curacao.
Thank you so much!! Good luck on your restoration as well!
The references to 3D model tops off the already excellent video quality and makes understanding the part locations so much easier for those not familiar with the Datto. Well done.
Cheers Alan! Thought it would be much more interesting rather than showing a pile of parts
@@32Builds Hello, I find this video very interesting, and very educational and I would like to know how I could obtain 3D modeling
Awesome animations to go along with the restoration of parts! Helped me understand where goes what.
Amazing job as always! 🔥👀 Keen for the next episode!
❤️ Her face at the end ❤️
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
@@32Builds hi guy...congratulation for all.... i had a datsun 1200 lgb and i need some help..can i speak with you???
Bro you back on air... Guys are missing you in the Sunny International group! Hope you all well!!!
Hi Tauriq, yeah I've been good! Hope you are too :)
I'm following the conversations in the background, I'm a shy guy haha
Awesome cars and projects going on!
@@32Builds lol don't be shy bro... Feel free to make it home... We all following your build 😎 can't wait for it to be done
I love these videos, no fancy garage with millions of tools, you don't even have a nice big private yard to park. Awesome work!
Thank you! Doing everything myself I'm slowly collecting so many tools though!
@@32Builds Good stuff man, keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing more of your videos
@@32Builds In South Africa we have a version of this vehicle known as the nissan 1400. Only went out of production in 2008
My Nissan 1400 needs some TLC on the suspension. Thanks to your videos now I know what and where to touch 👍🏾
Glad I was able to help! Good luck on the task!!
Sup Nkhosi. Where you from?
@@bayandadlamini3824 Sup Dlamini!!... I am from Joburg man, where you from?
@@excellentnkosi3127 From Eswatini. Been looking for Datsun enthusiasts here but the scene isn't as big as SA
@@bayandadlamini3824 Well i guess its time that you bring Datsun to the Swati nation😉
You had me with the animations 🙌
Just stumbled onto here and started binging all the episodes. Finished a couple days back I have been waiting the next upload.
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed the vids!!
Shout out from Zimbabwe in Africa..I own a Datsun 1200 2 door sedan and this channel is making it POSSIBLE.. I have taken the engine out already and am looking forward to attacking my front suspension after seeing how easy is (or you make it look)..✌️👊👊👊
I'm so glad to hear that mate! Your 1200 is going to feel amazing after all the work you do to it! Good luck!!!
Finally a new video I’ve been waiting patiently keep it up
Cheers for being patient haha
I'll do my best :))
Been flicking through your vids tonight as I'd love to do a Datto 1200 ute resto myself. Huge props for doing this with basic tools, gear and space! She's quite a rusty ute for sure but loving the vids and progress.
I feel your pain with the welding though! Learning on that old machine that doesn't seem to be working correctly would be super frustrating.
The welds / tacks in previous vids seem to be blowing out in the middle, usually get this welding super dirty material, welding galvanized (but not as bad) or lack of shielding gas. It almost looks like there's no gas at all, so huge props for soldiering through that!
Doubtful but if you happened to live near Bris I'd be more than happy to come suss out the welding or even lend some gear.
Cheers so much! I'm in Syd :( But I used to be around Mt Gravatt a while back!
Yeah its a bit hard learning to weld at the same time learning to repair the welder xD
I'm pretty sure a bit of gas is escaping from the old rubber hose + the wire feeder isn't working right and I've had to repair it. Takes a centimeter or so for it to get up to the proper feed speed.
Taking a short break from welding at the moment, but I'll be back on it soon! I also got myself a cheap spot welder to test out in a future vid :))
Awesome I just did the front suspension on my 910 wagon the old ones were fucked. I put in the Laurel front setup it just bolts in as a complete set.
Nice! Eventually I wan't to replace most bits with new adjustable ones. One day :)
As always awesome video!! Keep up the good work!!
Cheers!
I love your work mate.. I got a Datsun sunny ,I need you help I got hit on the left side back panel and I need you to upload a video that shows how to take that panel out for a new one🙏🙏
Aww man, that sucks to hear! I removed my rear quarter panel before I started making videos. You have to drill out the spot welds around the edges of the panel, if remove some of the paint in those areas they become easer to see. Rear quarter panels suck cause they're welded into the frame :( I'll be making a video on the installation of the new ones some time down the track though! I hope everything turns out okay for you!
Nice work. Excellent animation!!
Thank you!!
Dude its always a pleasure watching your videos i love hiw detailed they are and wish you all the success with the build greetings from Pakistan
I'm glad you enjoy them! Thanks!!
Bro when can we expect another video, your project Is addictive maaaaan
Sorry to keep you waiting bro!
Lol "addictive" is the word :D
Mate your videos are always so good! Instant clicks from me. Wish I had half your knowledge and skills lol.. Cheers from a 120Y datto owner in Melbourne!
Thank you so much!! Mate I started with super basic knowledge! Just start taking things apart! haha
@@32Builds Definetly. Seeing how you do it with limited space and simple tools is helpful and inspirational. couldnt ask for any better on how to do A to Z on exactly the same engine as my car! Cheers
Veary nice!
Thank you!!
Great job 👍
Thank you!
Wonderful project, sigue adelante con esos vídeos, ya estoy suscrito 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻..
Thank you so much! Thanks for subscribing :))
Nice work bro keep it up 👍🏻
Cheers! Will do!
They make bench vices that are small and clamp on to tables. Might help ya a bit. Good work ! Love the videos
Cheers! Yes that might be a good idea, I've got a decent vice in the basement but I should get myself small mobile one!
I have notice that solenoid on carburetor dont have electric wire attach.maybe broken.if that is not working,engine may start but doesn´t idle.Keep on the good working.
Keen eyes! I've still got a couple bits and bobs I need to put back in still :)
can you tell me the sizes for the polyutherane parts that you got? I love the videos you have I am also on the verge to building my 1200. thanks
Yo, your work is incredible! Is it possible for you to list all the material and tools you used during your restoration? I’m begin to restore at 510.
Awesome 👍👍
Cheers!
الله يحفظك
Nice footage :)
Thank you!!
Nicely done as always. Did i miss the episode to where you made the coilovers? Need some for my wagon!
You didn't miss it, I bought it a while back second hand. Maddat does a set as well but they're a bit expeno for me :D
I am playing my summer car and I always wondering how does the real car look (sorry for my grammar I am from Czech Republic)
I'm wondering how my real car will look too!! haha
super bro. .🚗💛
Cheers!!
Hello, I find this video very interesting, and very educational and I would like to know how I could obtain 3D modeling, I study automotive engineering and I want to present as a project an optimization of the lower control arm, for better performance
Donde se puede conseguir los bushing de low arm
es el mejor video de tren delantero del datsun 1200...yo tengo un 120y state wagon que necesito modificar solo los frenos delanteros que tienen a tambor...necesito saber cual disco comprar para colocar una adaptacion de frenos a discos...saludos desde paraguay.
You can find some factory front disks if you're lucky - but there are some good s13 brake conversions too!
@@32Builds yo voy por 14" por aqui las calles son muy malas..no puedo tener tan bajo el auto..gracias..te estare siguiendo y tambien hare un canal sobre mi datsun 120y..un abrazo...datsun por siempre
Nice
Cheers!
Hi, can you tell me where did you buy the pivot for your datsun?
Where can I buy the front suspension bushing kit?
Awesome job!What wheels are they may I ask?
Thanks! They're the Hayashi Street STs
Awesome work!! What brand is that foot vice?
😂🤣😂🤣
Yes!!!
Haha cheers xD

Are you gonna be upgrading anything like adding in powersteering or air conditioning?
I may go electrical air-con later down the track - with an upgraded alternator. Otherwise I don't think it needs power steering :)
Great video. Hey, a couple interesting things and questions! What size of rims (and offset) and tires are you using? I also notice that the steering box and be detach from the steering column! However, but for mine I believe that it can not be done. Steering box and column are attached together. Where are you located, Australia? My car is in Costa Rica.. Thank you..
Yes mate, I'm located in Australia. My wheels are Hayashi Racing - Street ST in 13x6 +7 for the front and 13x7 +6 on the rears.
So interesting how much variance there are on these 1200s around the world :)
@@32Builds Thank you for the feedback. Again, great videos.. Nice job..
👍👍👍
Hi brother, do you have the link for the ball joint dust cover ? Thank you
Sorry mate, I got them before I started the Channel, quite a while ago. I measured the parts with Vernier calipers and ordered them to suit. There's quite a few on eBay, but you have to double check all the specifications so it fits. The ones for the tie rod ends are actually quite tight so I could've gone larger
hey mate.. what kind of front suspension do you use to fit in this car? is it custom make?
The coil over suspension is probably custom made (not by me) but the rest is all standard :)
What set up are you running for the disc conversion ?
I think they're a custom build setup. Originally brakes from a sr-s13, but going to switch them out and make a new adaptor for the ca-s13 cause they'll fit the rims
Where did you get the new suspension parts?
Everything is original :) Only new bits are the bushings and boots
Bro the red bushing and yellow rubber is that a universal?
The red bushings are from Nolathane, and the Yellow dust covers I found by using a caliper to take the different measurements. The ones on the rod ends are a bit tight for my liking
@@32Builds thanks for the info bro I will check thanks 👍🍻
👌👌🤙

Hi folks, do you know if this guy is okay?
Hi Boys 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
