Anti-Purist Perfection: Toyota 2JZ Swapped '72 Hakosuka Skyline
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The 70s era Hakosuka Skyline could be argued to be the pinnacle of vintage JDM automotive machinery. As more and more people started realizing this, prices went sky-high, and Nissan purists wanted to start preserving their favorite chassis. So what do they think of someone that stuffs a Toyota 2JZ in between the strut towers of this old school legend? It doesn't matter. Because when it's done this clean, and sounds this good, we're giving respect where it's due.

Larry Chen has been a blessing to KZread. I admire all of his work, including his hard work. Great job and great success to you, brother.
Well done thank you very much for the mentions I feel fortunate to have collaborated in this project !!
Me: *Sees thumbnail* thats a nice Me: *Reads title* WHAT
When I hear his accent I think he's a filipino and then I saw his jacket. Confirmed he's a PINOY ❤🇵🇭

not only that when you see the video about the car they filmed before this you can easily tell he's pinoy
This guy is awesome, third car on AutoFocus, unbelievable. Larry is always finding gems :)
That car in the back yard is a 1972 corolla
Almost hate to say it, but this works. Hakosuka is my ultimate dream car, so I was a little sceptical, but this build is gorgeous. Well done.
I guess Larry is the only one still doing any work at Hoonigan?

I agree. Not a fan of those that swap in engines from other manufacturers, especially the cliche 2JZ or LS... I'll let this one slide though because he successfully converted it to LHD.
This guy is a real builder. Also love the gaffers tape on Larry’s lens, guys an amazing photographer.
What an awesome shoot! It must be such a great experience to photograph these unique vehicles in the way you did Larry. I love watching Autofocus!
All of JT's builds are insane and very well executed. The fact that he builds these in his backyard is even more impressive. Absolutely amazing work.
I love this channel and all your work Larry. Amazing photos put nicely into a mini documentary on super unique cars.
love the jacket PH🇵🇭 represent ❤️
Super interesting and UNIQUE Hako. +Those last shots: a 1st person shot of a 3rd person shot of a magnificent machine. I DIG IT. Give great perspective of what it atakes to get those SWEET SWEET shutter-clicks 🤩
Thank you Larry :) love the opening scenes vibes. Keep up the excellent content! 😄
Best channel so far
Truely Inspirational. Absolutely awesome 🤘
I see Filipino car guy, a solid 👍
If you prefer one power-band over another, I say let it fly! This swap was done with the utmost respect for the Hakosuka. Mad props.
It’s absolutely perfect, wow.
i love it when someone do their car the way they want and like to.. 🤟
its awesome how you used the jeep as a camera car and still show how functional the jeep still is
I love all his cars That jeeps is awesome, love that older video you had of it.
Larry, you're a mad man! Laying out on the Jeep to get the money shots!
A true automotive enthusiast 👍
Hands down the cleanest hakosuka I’ve ever seen
Two of the most rad filipinos out there, Joel Tan and Micah Diaz. Much respect ✊🏻
Love this build ❤❤❤
Awesome shoot Larry great cars he's super cool love that jeep willys too
Glad to see the jeep being put to good use!
The 2JZ doesn't bother me, but the LHD does

Depends on the generation. Most of the model years (but not all!) I preferred the looks of the Skyline, so that would be my choice.

Definetley a 2jz Swapped Skyline. The Hakosuka is my favorite Skyline and I love the sound of a 2jz,a 2jz Swapped Skyline is all I ever wanted plus an RB30 Swapped Supra doesnt seem right to me.

it's funny seeing people complaining about the motor ain't a RB, SR20, v8, or the original motor. it's his build and he can do what he wants.

Crazy awesome!
i want to life like larry

Galing mo talaga paps Joel
What about a rb26 in one of these?
Nani??! Edit: Perfection.
Fun fact: the real LHD Hakosuka made for europe had the ignition on the left side of the steeringwheel instead of being on the right like on the RHD version.
Thought he had a bogo on for a split second and then realized it wasnt and got bummed out
Larry when are you putting a 2j in the Z
That fixed seat would kill my back
Do you guys till have the idx3?
Tanginamo lifestyle.. awesome seeing pinoys build from ground up proud 🇵🇭
Mr.JT, nice statement shirt.hehe
LHD!! I love that considering RHD feels so wrong to me, like skating switch stance.

beobe99 Was most likely a necessity driven by the swap.
A beautiful car, I get that it's a hot rod and the motor is proably abit larger than the motor that would normally sit in the engine bay. I know the intercooler in front of the bumper is a car style , but personally I would prefer to find another place for it, it looks like this intercooler is custom made and it looks like if it had anoter shape it could be placed between the radiator and the bumper. Still a beautiful car though.
Is it me or is the harnesses not attached to the bar? I really hope it's not bolted to the floor.
Skyline hakosuka in left hand drive?
This car is so clean. Unbelievable build, different parts that made it possible. Even his sweater is fire asf too... means Fuc* you btw 🤣
What’s with the Corolla pics in the back yard?

mmwosu honestly just personal preference. Growing up a lot of the builds I looked up to had non VVTI so it’s always been a dream engine of mine. Plus I’ve always heard good things about them
