August, 1958. Nissan ad man Yutaka Katayama, known to most as Mr. K, is in Sydney, Australia was leading a two car team of Datsun 210s in the brand’s first official motorsport event.The brand had gotten its start barely 20 years ago, and was now in Australia to build brand recognition for their impending global expansion. It was a huge gamble. And one that would pay off. But how are the histories of Datsun and Nissan intertwined?? How did Yoshisuke Aikawa’s leadership turn Japan into an automotive manufacturing powerhouse? And how did Mr. K revolutionize automotive advertising and bring prestige and recognition to Nissan and Datsun worldwide? Today on Past Gas, the first of our two-part series on DATSUN.

"M and E mergers and Acquisitions" 😂 0:26
I’ve had my z31 for almost two years now. Love the car! Doing an na2t build rn. I was thinking it would be cool to do an episode where you guys drive all the generations of Zs like the gtr and civic videos
also doing na2t on my 88 z31, gl with yours 👍
“Like the Frontier!”
Almost spit my coffee. 😆
Same
Nolan got hella tan since we saw him last.
😅
Thanks guys, really love the pods, Justin is always a treat, maybe you guys should make the big three the big four
You guys should definitely do that top speed record podcast!
I actually saw a Z31 300zx in the junkyard a few days ago. It was completely untouched and I'm thinking of going back to get some parts before it gets crushed. I'd rather have the parts and preserve them for someone else to use rather than have them get crushed
If its a turbo 87-89 get the diff, those are hard to come by lol
@@AnyrArisen413 wish I could, but I'm not mechanically inclined enough for that. 😅
Body work and interiors are more my specialty
Just ask them for the whole thing
@@AnyrArisen413 it was actually a 1986 model
Love that you are gliding this story. Thanks!
My favorite commercial from Datsun was from the 200sx “give me a turbo and I come alive” LOOK IT Up LOL
Cant wait to watch part 2 after this one. I got a Datsun 240Z, its a gocart, that is loud and rattly. LOL, its great... most of the time :)
My parents brought me home from the hospital in a 69 510 2 door after being born on a cold December morning in 1985. It was lowered with old school bbs's. My mom blew the engine and my dad got rid of it.
Hire Ryan Adams
Perhaps Justin's catchphrase could be "let's Rally up! for a car story "since he loves Subarus and they're known for rallying.
You all should cover how monster jam became to be a sport we all know an love today. I know it was a huge part of me an my friends lives growing up in the 90s.
Good to know
I love a good deep dive
Mabey Olympics and the world fair could be a joint venture. That way logistically and financially they would only be developing the one place. Plus having summer and winter having a theme split between the 2. Endless entertainment opportunities. So much money to be made lol.
Then the US could get a second Eiffel Tower
I thought it was super weird that Nissan was just named after the owner of the company, and not based on the Japanese word for older brother, "niisan". Seems like a hell of a missed opportunity, they're literally pronounced the exact same way.
oh this is a good one finally good car lore
Let's Go Wink Wink Nation!
18:00 Yooo Justin is orange pilled. Sick
Drop that extra LS yall just got into Joes Z!
Did my man just open the ep with “dat-sun” as opposed to “dot-sun”……..? 🤔
Yeah it's dOtsun
When I was a kid, fractions initially confused me because I thought "and a half" and "in a half" were both real math terms. So one AND a half would obviously be 1.5, and one IN a half would be 0.5, and 3 IN a half would be 1.5. I think my teachers started articulating a bit more around me lol.
Lol, your man , okay
we've all been there
I've had 6 z31's Joe. I think you're safe with 2.
I've had 9
It’s a business man’s cereal 😅
Another glorious morning here in grants pass oregon. After a lackluster weekend of being ignored by marketplace sellers. Just like being ignored by my dad until I was 16 (true story). Here's hoping Donut don't ignore me....
Hire Ryan Adams
I left this pod behind when they refused to upload video… happy to be back. 🤙🏼
At that time i was admitted in hospital and was listening to there pod casts.
At that time i didn't want to watch screen anyway so I continued . But ya screen ones r better
My boy Deryck made it to past gas!???
Ayyyye jerry hsu on the hat
Datsun roadster retro rebuild. Nobody does anything with the chassis anymore other than the examples worth collecting
Cool.
Do a 510 wagon
Pass gas podcast 🍑💨
Heaaahhhhh in the 1st hour bubba
620 best truck ever
do you happen to drive one yourself?
@@liamstraub3394 yes its my daily
Same reason Toyota created Scion.
There is a cereal called special k. That's probably why you thought mr k sounded like one
Nissan, well known for making altimas, making the takeover gang strong! Altima bois 4 lyf!
PLEASE don't buy a 510 james, its my dream car and I want at least a chance of owning one someday and ion want u making the prices go up LMAO
Shouts out to Justin for holding it down for the niche Subaru community. Find me on nasioc dawg! Ti_22

OoO
A little bit of time learning Japanese phonetics would go a looong way. You've been butchering Japanese pronunciation for years now - just fix it already with like 1 hour of your lives
Its part of the fun y’know? Like a long running inside joke, its whatever
@@kylea-d4108 at this point I feel it's more lazy and disrespectful than a joke. At least get the names right or read through the copy just ONCE before recording.
