  • I've been wanting to show a Nissan/Datsun Sunny ute for some time but just couldn't find one with all the right 'Wasabi' qualities. Seeing as my hands were tied, I had little choice but to show a cool one. What makes this one cool is that it features the Hakotora body kit by 09 Racing. There are 8 components to the base kit, with several other exterior and interior options.
    Mini-rant: I just know someone will say it's not a truck. But that's exactly what it is in Japan, and the tora in Hakotora is even derived from the word *truck*.

    Finally! Caught you as you release a video! Liking the little trucklet, body kit is well integrated. Great video as always, thanks for posting.

    I've always liked these small pickups, and with that hakosuka face it looks fantastic!
    QOtD: I saw a three year old Toyota 86 (they are called GT86 here) parked opposite of my civic in my neighborhood. A nicely done one with spoilers and decal sets! Apparently this lady earns enough to buy a GT86, but not enough to live in the neighborhood the GT86 owners normally live in...

      WasabiCars I think I figured it out: the GT86 wasn't here during the weekend. She is probably a commuter and parks her car here because I live near the train station

    just a bit of info about that holden with the mustang nose you were talking about at the end of the vid, its called a 'Folden' and it was made by members of the New Zealand radio station 'The Rock' a couple of years back. It was auctioned off and the money went to a mental health charity.

    wow i really like those hakozuka ute conversions but yeah, the bonnet intakes are too evo-ish if you ask me. the rest is really amazing! i wonder if someone here would be crazy enough to get a kit and modify an old grocery lifter 620. hahaha the mighty boy is hilarious, more hilarious though was something my father told me they did in the 80's. VW beetle with rolls royce grille, all plastic of course. i saw one of those fronts a long time ago, that thing was ridicoulous.
    PS: keep enjoying your trip Daniel!

    • @wasabicars
      @wasabicars  7 років тому

      I actually saw those VW conversions for sale in some 70's Japanese car magazines that I have. Maybe in about '74 they were booming!

    What did I see? I'm not sure if this counts, but I live in the US and I recently spotted a Canadian market Nissan Micra. I was pleasantly surprised to see this as I've seen dozens of these cars on trips to Bermuda I've taken in the past.

Are you just hoping someone will randomly read through the comments and then drop a contact for you?? You are dreaming. Just Google the information you already have. Come on, buddy

    VERY nice truck! LOVE it.
    Reminds me of the days I had a friend who collected turbo Buicks (Grand Nationals mostly). We'd go to meets where those cars would be and someone had done a Chevy El Camino ("Holden Ute" in Aussie talk) with a Grand National front clip and drivetrain.
