Is This Datsun Sunny The Best Pickup Truck Ever?

My father have a nissan sunny and its still working with no problem its a fucking tank way better than these 4x4 pickups that break within one decate. Wish i can find an used one and buy it.

we all know that its the vw mk one caddy

Lol I own a 25 year old Mazda 2600i mini truck, and yeah it's slow as hell just like the Datsun must've been. Loads of fun to drive regardless

I love tray vehicles, like the pickup SUVs such as the ford F-259 and the pickup cars like the modern Holden ute

You need to shift down... You are holding it in to high of a gear.

Wait you wanted to drive this cuz its quirky?

Alex is the type of guy to eat human poo cuz its quirky

Alex = Doug demuro

All hype and if youre 5.3 ft and fit in , then go for one !

# 1 Sadly you don't even know the name ? That is not a HAKO TORA but a Sunny-Tora a HakoTora has the Hakosuka Skyline front end swap , that is just a Sunny Tora and not a HAKO TORA nor SURA the way you pronounced it ... HAKO= Meaning Box after the Hako-suka Skyline Suka = short for Skyline !

1200 Ute is my dream car

This is iconic here in south african and was kept in production till 2008/2009. It has a strong following with farmers, drifters, drag racers...in fact almost everyone loves them here!!

In South Africa it was even sold until 2008 as the "Bakkie".
And it was replaced with a Dacia based pickup. Of course it´s more "modern" but this one is way cooler.

Lol

in my village there is one datsun car own for old man they call his Haweja

It needs a rotary transplant or an fj20

beautiful car, were i can find the parts parts? please.

Yes . The datsun is the best mini truck

I wanna know does it have a play on steering wheel

It kinda looks like a Lada

in south Africa we call it the nissan champ

Answer: yes

if you put a bigger carb on the datsun and maybe a bigger coil pack that thing can haul ass

I would love to have this antique for my dad. It will help so much for our garden. I got the sedan B110 year 1972 ones. I'll try to keep it as long as I possibly can. Last manual car I've got.😭

best is
mazda 1200 pick up
1169cc
4 gearbox

I LIKE IT... MY TOP 10 PICKUP LIST NR 4

Chuck an sr20 on and they go good

In South Africa we gone the exactly the same pickup we called the Nissan 1400 champ and it stayed in production here till 2007 and I happen the be the own of one last ones to leave the factory.

Is this the mod pickup for my Summer Car?

Just changed the points to magneto

Sy lg nyari grill nya di mana y

What the fuck, learn to drive then you can criticize buddy.

Ive got a mate that still daily drives one

I own one in Texas, it's an ugly little turd but I and everyone else loves it. I notice people behind me sneaking pictures, I've been cruising down the highway and had people start recording videos as they pass me. It's quite the experience owning one. I love watching someone behind get that inquisitive look on their face like "oh what's that, nvr seen one of those.....wait...where the driver" then you see the face go from inquisitive to the "oh shit" and they start pointing and smiling.

Yes

planning on building one of these.
tuff aussie version, n/a ls1, twin 3” pipes, tubbed, 5 speed manual.

Customers: no safety features?
Datsun sunny: we die like men.

Summary: Pom whinges for 6 minutes straight.

Back to your Golf GTI precious.

Come to SA and you see atleast 20 a day... Its awesome pick ups

Este maje le saco más cosas malas que las cosas buenas 🙄🙄🙄🙄 ósea ! Es un clásico

anyone restore these?

Made these till 2008 in South Africa. Nissan 1400

I remember growing up we had a Nissan 1400 bakkie (bakkie is South African for pick up) same thing

Price Kitna hai

It pisses me off that we don't get things like this in the US. Cause there are quite a few Utes & small trucks that would probably do very well here. I really love the sun burst on the tailgate.

I saw this video 6 years ago when it was first posted and it awakened my love for old JDM vehicles, and the Datsun Sunny will forever be stuck in my mind. Cars like this are the reason we deal with back-breaking seats, hard-to-find parts, old slow motors and every quirk and gremlin that hangs around. I don't think cars will ever have this personality ever again or invoke the same feeling of adoration from their owners. Thanks for taking this truck out for a spin and sharing the experience with us, Alex.

When men were men and trucks were used as trucks...

This guy dissing this thing in a professional way 😅💔

Can’t believe I’m only just seeing this post! IMO the best looking bakkie / pickup out there. Saw one on IG with a R34 swap 😮‍💨 dream car.

Only a prom could whinge about no traction control in a Datto 1200 ute, lol

my grandpa had bought one in red in 1980. It was passed on to my father who is now in his 70's and this death on wheels is still going at 44 years old. The last 5 years it basically exists for the one time each year anyone in the family needs a pick up. I need it to carry 4 truck beds of wood 30 kms away this fall. I'm sure it will give me 4 thrilling rides as it always does. I'm gonna be a little sad when something really expensive on it breaks and it meets its grave.
