Datsun 120Y Pickup - Hand-built in SA, riding on air!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Nissan 1400 pick-up, or Champ, as it was also known, is not only a legendary vehicle in South Africa, but also in the country it originated from, Japan. In fact, it even occasionally appears in the Hot Wheels toy car line-up. Johannesburg's Brannigan Achadinha wanted to bring some of that Japanese car culture to South Africa when he started working on his own take on this iconic little pick-up. And so his little white truck rides on air, so that it can be slammed down real low (so low that the fuel tank had to be moved), has a Datsun 120Y grille, aggressive front lip and flushed bodywork. Inside, it has a pumping audio system (but it's almost invisible to the eye), and you're more likely to notice the stunning carbon-fibre dashboard. Sit back and enjoy Brannigan talking about his pride and joy.

A datsun 120 y was the first car i ever ownedd..it cost me aa whole £50 back in 1981..this one is WOW..great job.
I love that the car has multiple anti-theft systems in place. No door handles, removable steering wheel, hidden sound system...NEVER LET THEM KNOW YOUR NEXT MOVE! Beautiful car!
Kenyans have a lot of history with this Car .... Legend of a Car in Rural kenya

My dad had this car back in the days very strong and reliable.
There's a LOT of love in this little classic! Hours and hours of work... Job well done, looks spectacular 👍🏻👊🏻
Hahaha any IsiXhosa speaking people here? We used to call it "ibhotsotso". We had one here at home. It was one of the bulletproof cars back in the days.

or the ones that owned one and are aware the stock motors are slow as shit. lol that and none of the body lines line up properly, wavey panel work, cut metal edges right next to the fuel cell, bird shit looking welds and rough seem sealer around the rear wheel tubs in the tray, although it's modified it's still done quite rough.
I have a original 1974 Datsun 120y still in a working condition and everything is still original
Beautiful. Kudos Ciro for flying all the way to Krugersdorp.

Very cool but might i ask y u didnt change the engine. Coz the 1400 top speed is 149 km/h. U did so much to it and it looks amazing but the engine kills it for me.

Hi alride! Grate movie iam watching it with sound. Ithinn you are aman whois note consirned with the opinion of someone else ido applaud that. Itis a small car. No problem. I only have a question just one: why is the staring wheel in the glass? No worries. With the air suspention isay youdid capture the classic American culture of a gangsta car. Ithing if we were in a gangster movie suchwhat as a Star Trek IV The Voyage Home when they are in America. Never mind that iam only worried as I live in south africae iam aware of thieves. They do steal something. Suchwise as with your fuel tank and gas bottle in the open boot it will be stolen be careful! Thanks for this. Is your car fast?

Unbiased Review after owning over 40 JDM classics and tried one of these; Nightmarish spaceless cabin if you’re over 5.6 ft good luck in this death trap. If you thought an MX5 interior is small get ready to sit at minus 90 degrees with your torso leaning slightly forward with zero recline space with your chest almost touching the steering… Hence no reporter reviewing these sit in after probably. trying once 😅 “Built like bricks” that will rust if you look at them wrong…” It would be an interesting watch fi these have a crash test video, there is hardly an arms length from your seated torso and the front of the headlights, pretty sure it would be a bllodbath and a jaws of death ending… most overhyped car in JDM history that will make a Suzuki Cappuccino less awkward to drive long distance and faster at half the displacement… try before you buy lol …

Where he's located in South Africa, cars being dissolved by rust is the least of their worries. It's a hot and high elevation region of the country far from the coast. Hence why a lot of 60s & 70s designed Japanese cars survive there today.
