  • The Datsun Sunny Pickup might be the coolest JDM car that is still cheap to buy. Adam lost his MX5 in the fire and wanted to build a Datsun that was different to the rest, and we think he achieved that! Custom wheels, GTR front end and Lamborghini suspension, yeah.. it's pretty wild! Let us know that you think of the old Nissan Sunny Ute in the comments guys!

    Absolutely love how you guys doubled down after the absolute worst case scenario and are going even more wild now than even when you had the studio. Don’t stress on it, it’ll definitely pay off.

    Definitely has to be an mx5 engine or a 13b

      13b surely brap brap

    • @Joebobinator
      @Joebobinator 4 месяца назад +15

      Rotary for sure, their reliability gets a bad rep but that's from people cramming a ton of boost through stock motors then beating the hell out of em because they take it. For a bit. But an inspected and rebuilt stock 13b REW running ~15 psi will make 300 whp all day and last years, make all the right noises, and generally be cool as all hell. I feel like it's the only choice that's wild enough to match the energy of this incredible bodywork.

    The way I see it. You guys did not lose a thing, you guys gained new hopes and dream from a fresh restart.
    2nd, you did not do a good job, you did an outstanding job.
    I consider you guys & everyone your involved with the best at craft & it shows entirely through your builds.
    My dreams are living through you guys.

    You can use S13 for the complete front end. The LCA's fit you just drill out the hole in the cross member to put a larger bolt. Then use the the S13 knuckle to fit the strut. For the steering if you use the original steering set up you need 2x right hand inner tie rod ends then flip the the thread section on the left hand side threaded link around a use S14 rack ends ( only S14 have M14 threaded ends ) then you use a adjustable castor rod with treaded bar in the front removing the rose joint to fit in the original mounting. You gain around 25mm front track when completed. 👍

    Not sure about all the vents on the front but the old skyline look is class. Main thing is Adam likes it and TBF, it looks nuts all done
    GTR looks, any way to stuff an RB in there 😂and have those sounds?
    If not an RB, then rotary or something high revving and loads of intake noises. Again, whatever makes you happiest.

    Ho Lee Phak... What a badass Datsun and the greatest i`ve seen. Frontswap looks so freakin amazing, tuff title is such a great idea and the overall pakage is way more then beyond incredible. I could understand, if you`ll swap to Miata engine, but wouldn`t it be way cooler just going completely crazy, investing the same amount of work in an engine you always wanted, but never had. You`re Miata will be lifetime memorie for sure, so full flat out insanity. ;)
