We Meet Again! The 1982 Nissan Silvia RS That Got Away (US110)

- Today's video brings me genuine joy because it brings to a conclusion something that started a long time ago. In fact, it was seven years ago that I first saw, fleetingly, this striking, third generation Silvia RS coupé in traffic. Those few short moments were enough to set off flashbacks and thoughts of when I'd see it again, until the present day. Imagine my surprise when I finally saw it parked, and accessible, at a convenience store.
The Silvia is in fair condition, though the passenger side has regularly been exposed to the elements over the last 20 years leaving the lower sections with aggressive rust. It's also attracted a lot of decoration over the years, some of which is explained in the video.
Mechanically, it seems in good working order. The owner takes a generous amount of time warming up the FJ20 DOHC 4 cylinder engine before setting out. And, while I'm not sure how many kays it has done, the yellow coupé only sees use on weekend outings. Well, except for that time that he drove it from Fukuoka to Chiba, on the regular roads (i.e. NOT the express ways) to see his beloved soccer team, Giravanz Kitakyushu, play in the J3 grand final.

oooosh a WIDEBODY starion .... VERY RARE
Love ya videos
old school, all day every day
Thank you :)
Common in the UK when you see them, the really rare version in the UK is the Non wide body. Lol.
But wicked nonetheless
@@tylertheotaku9270 Hard finding a Starion on the road these days, when you see one it does click a switch in you doesn't it, true sports car design, timeless.
I always see one white one here in Finland at a body shop I go to,
it hasn´t moved yet but at least it has been restored. The fenders were all made of rust, they´ve been completely rebuilt.
Mitsus never really lasted long here because of the error with the rust proofing, they were shipped here with the rust protection for Australia.
I think there is about 2 Starions in the whole country D:
@@artoodiitoo Yeah here in Turkiye the only Starions I have seen either came in from europe, or oil rich mid-east arab countries, they were never sold here, I havent seen one in person in the last 10 years I think. Sad. :(
One of my cousin had one he bought from a expat who brought it from germany I think and made it local, my cousing had about 1990-95is time fram, I drove in it many times, wide body, pristine condition, white, than younger, it seemed like a fighter jet to me. :)
he bought it in 1988 and have it ever since! wow! I love such people. He takes care of his car and form a bond with it. I bet he do some togue action in the mountains with it from time to time :D reminds me a little bit of bunta from initial d xD
Sorry to say that I've never read/watched Initial D. But, I totally get what you're saying :)
What an absolute great guy. Down to earth, loves his car and drives it. Awesome work Daniel!
Thanks, man. Yes, and yes. Great guy and (interesting) car :)
Great to come across someone who is happy and willing to show/talk about their car. Isn't your heart in your mouth when you 1st approach incase you get the cold shoulder? Great video!
Yes! I actually had flashbacks to when I walked up to a lady in an R32 GT-R who was on the phone, so I waited patiently... and creeped the crap out of here. :/ And, thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. This one was fun to make
Great video Dan! Good to see old friends (or cars) again. Sad about the Mazda 626. Keep on spotting...
Matey, I'll keep spotting until Japan runs out of spots. And, going by the massive red spot on their flag, I don't think it will
The rain guards for that Mazda Capella should have an exclusive episode!! EPIC!! 🔥🔥🔥
Hahahaha! Awesome. Though, I'm afraid if I make that video, I'll be left drained
@@wasabicars LoL!! I see what you did there!! LoL!! 😂 😭 😭
The heart of an S110 RS powers my dad's '71 1600 (original owner), so you could say that the donor car lives on in spirit...
Oh! That is cool. There are pics on insta, or elsewhere?
@@wasabicars Elsewhere, but the youtube gods don't like any derivative of th URL I've tried. Ask Craig Ford about it :)
WAU!
Who's looking for - will always find.
Ha! Yes, I truly believe this. :D
Incredible Insight..
Wonderful colour scheme! Matches the car perfectly!
Yes, cool. Someone has since suggested it's been inspired by the Hanshin Tigers baseball team. (And, that could be a stuffed tiger hanging out of the boot.)
S-Chassis love.
Thanks for the video Daniel 👌
Too easy, Tyler. Not bad, eh? Two early S-chassis almost in a row :)
@@wasabicars how common are S12's over there? (my mum had one in the late 80's early 90's ~ that's what got me into Silvia's, but my heart belongs to the S13 Silvia)
Cool car and an approachable eccentric owner! Awesome Daniel!
Thanks, Josh. And thanks for dropping in to the live Insta vid. Wild 4x4 Bongo!
Fantastic for a friendly guy and so good to see
Now just put my Mitsubishi hat on
Come on we need starion love ❤️ especially a wide body late model
Thanks Dan 😍😍👍👍
Very true, David. There'll be a Starion video sooner rather than later. Just got to feel that inspiration. May sound odd, but making vids without it is no fun
Late to the party, as always. I absolutely love this car! Another great video and a great story as well! Just heard about the earthquake! Hope you're alright!
Me? I'm fine (way down here in Saga Pref, Kyushu). I'd actually been on the go all day so had zero idea what happened. Have since seen Ebisu track pics. Messed up. Thanks, Josh
Good evening!
I am owner of the silvia gazelle, 1979,2l capacity, 2 spare plugs, fuel injection, and, cruis contol.very lovely..
Oh, nice to hear :)
Hi Dan. Great vid. Cool to see one again. I had an 82 s110 in Perth in the very early 90s. z18 engine and only 53000kms it was super rare even then. Unfortunately I sold it 😥
Hi, i an 82 S110 hatch owner from Brisbane. What colour and model was your S110? There’s a few white coupes still in SA/ WA, one of which could been yours?
Holy Dooley! Coupe or liftback? Wait up. They went to Oz at all?? I guess some did. Still surprised though. There's a fella called Jack who has a deep red liftback in Brisbane
@@jackmccallum9941 gday jack. It was a white coupe. I often wonder if it’s still on the road or at least alive.
@@wasabicars it was a cray import Dan. There was a lot of nice Japanese that came in to wa in the early 90s.manly 80 era. Probably the same in other states to it guess. I really wanted a z20 soarer with a 1ggte but they were all autos. So I ended up with the s110
Damn what a crazy story! I can't believe you found it after 7 years! i would've called that car gone, either junked or being used and riced out by a kid in the US as his drift rocket. I'm glad it's having a happy life with his old owner and still with a bright future on it. Also even after all their flaws, it's awesome that you can still live without internet in Japan. That's crazy. Western society is forcing you so much on using your phone nowadays for simple tasks is not even funny anymore. Thank you for the video Daniel! I hope you are having a good time 😊
Can't wait to see this
Thank you. And, you're in luck. A Starion makes an appearance in this video :)
@@wasabicars Great vid. Loved the car. Happy to see at least one person in Japan cool enough to show you it all (even when he didn't need to!) and WANTING to restore it as well. That guy is different in the best way possible. Kudos to him.
Here's my comment.. 😳 WoW!
Appreciated. Hope you been well, man :)
Keen as for this, love the video’s 🇦🇺
nice, i have a thing for the s110's, seems like the owner likes it aswell, tho i probably wouldnt put some of the stuff on the car myself haha. also noticed that random r33 sedan passing by around 1:54 haha
Yes! That R33. I do like the sedan body style of that generation
I hope he keeps the writing and other personalized touches when its restored. I like a car with history. My wagon came with an assortment of Masonic badges and a St. Louis airport department of defense parking sticker I still keep. A guy as a gas station asked me if I was a mason pointing at the stickers. I said no, but the car was. Apparently I was too young to qualify for some of them. He was quite upset.
Hahahaha! That is awesome. Yeah, I did give a thought to the lyrics and whatnot following the resto. I wonder if he'll go in a different direction with it
Love 80s boxy Japanese cars !
the guy sounded friendly...
Yeah, a very cool dude
Awesome video and a awesome car! Wonder how many 240 RS's survived? Have you ever seen one Daniel?
Hey, Neville. I've never seen a real 240RS. Did see a replica at a car show a while back. Never showed it because, well, it's a replica :/
@@wasabicars show us Daniel, even a replica is cool. Keep up the good work sir 😉👍
hi Daniel you should save the mazda 626. it's a real wasabi car and it's not that bad. I know you want an old jdm car this would have been a fun project to watch.
Oh, I agree with you on almost all things. Currently, WasabiCars takes up M - F evenings... and weekends. Literally zero time for a project car. And, I promise you I'm not wasting my time watching TV, etc... I gave that up after LOST 10 years ago
ok I understand time flies fast have even noticed it😅. maybe you should take a break or something and mess with your own things and get a project car or something also maybe have a day here and there where you are at car meetings and miscellaneous.
Finally! A Daihatsu!
Sadly, not too many Daihatsu enthusiasts here. There's not really much I can show. Old Nissans dominate
@@wasabicars wow. So here in Europ there are more Daihatsu lovers then in japan..
Curry looked good and Dan ypu are like an encyclopedia
The curry was epic. I even ate it again yesterday :)
その黄色のシルビアは福岡市内でよくすれ違いますよ。シルビアRSのFJ20Eはサージタンクの容量とマニフォールドの長さがスカイラインDR30と違うからあまり高回転まで回らないけど下のトルクはスカイラインよりあるから乗りやすいです。私は白のUS110に乗ってます。
Silvia is amazing, looks like a no window post car?
Yeah, kind of odd. The B pillar post sits back a bit
@@wasabicars oh ok.
Hope next time will be in 7 months or so not 7 years. 🙂
Good call! And, that's looking looking likely, too. I'll be sure to visit that workshop to see it mid-resto
Nice stuff man was the 626 rwd?
Yes, rear wheel drive
@@wasabicars awesome , my uncle had a 919 wagon when I was a kid can't forget the gasoline smell of it.
Daihatsu charade De Tomaso = 😍
Cool hatches :)
Nice, and we need more such owners who don't give a rats ass about the internet 👍. But I am curious what's up with the cat stuck in the trunk area, it's got to be also an interesting story 😅.
Thank you, Ljubo. Also, good news. It's not a real cat ;-) Buy yes, need to see more owners like this :)
@@wasabicars 👍
That 626 man so sad
Definitely. Did you happen to watch the earlier video? So full of hope. :-/

カッコいいですね

Reminds me of Initial D
I think I see what you mean
