Datsun 120Y Pickup - Hand-built in SA, riding on air!

  • The Nissan 1400 pick-up, or Champ, as it was also known, is not only a legendary vehicle in South Africa, but also in the country it originated from, Japan. In fact, it even occasionally appears in the Hot Wheels toy car line-up. Johannesburg's Brannigan Achadinha wanted to bring some of that Japanese car culture to South Africa when he started working on his own take on this iconic little pick-up. And so his little white truck rides on air, so that it can be slammed down real low (so low that the fuel tank had to be moved), has a Datsun 120Y grille, aggressive front lip and flushed bodywork. Inside, it has a pumping audio system (but it's almost invisible to the eye), and you're more likely to notice the stunning carbon-fibre dashboard. Sit back and enjoy Brannigan talking about his pride and joy.

    Hi alride! Grate movie iam watching it with sound. Ithinn you are aman whois note consirned with the opinion of someone else ido applaud that. Itis a small car. No problem. I only have a question just one: why is the staring wheel in the glass? No worries. With the air suspention isay youdid capture the classic American culture of a gangsta car. Ithing if we were in a gangster movie suchwhat as a Star Trek IV The Voyage Home when they are in America. Never mind that iam only worried as I live in south africae iam aware of thieves. They do steal something. Suchwise as with your fuel tank and gas bottle in the open boot it will be stolen be careful! Thanks for this. Is your car fast?

Note that iam demeaning of yourself or such bud Ithing itis a good idea to ask a adult to help you with words. Thanks again I hope we can continue our friendship.

    Unbiased Review after owning over 40 JDM classics and tried one of these;
    Nightmarish spaceless cabin if you’re over 5.6 ft good luck in this death trap. If you thought an MX5 interior is small get ready to sit at minus 90 degrees with your torso leaning slightly forward with zero recline space with your chest almost touching the steering… Hence no reporter reviewing these sit in after probably. trying once 😅 “Built like bricks” that will rust if you look at them wrong…” It would be an interesting watch fi these have a crash test video, there is hardly an arms length from your seated torso and the front of the headlights, pretty sure it would be a bllodbath and a jaws of death ending… most overhyped car in JDM history that will make a Suzuki Cappuccino less awkward to drive long distance and faster at half the displacement… try before you buy lol …

      Where he's located in South Africa, cars being dissolved by rust is the least of their worries. It's a hot and high elevation region of the country far from the coast. Hence why a lot of 60s & 70s designed Japanese cars survive there today.
