Daniel, A good compromise to your OHC engine in a Holden could be the Commodore with the desirable Nissan RB30ET.

My first car was a 240K same silver with a grey vinyl roof. Quality car compared to the Toranas and Cortinas of the day. Didn’t know the Japanese pedigree at the time (no internet back in the day) and now regret I never held onto it.

Agreed. Even though I prefer stock/standard cars, I can appreciate modded cars, and I find that Japanese street cars have a very harmonious look to them. Though, I guess I may not have when I first arrived in Japan.

Love the walk thru van. Definitely do a video on it. Love the Sunny pickups or is it Utes over there? And lastly, I can relate to the being a little hard to start in the mornings as I get older(half a century and counting, lol).
@wasabicars
4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, when it comes to what to call a car, I just call it what it was called when it left the dealer. So, in the case of the Datsun Sunny trucks in this video, if it was imported from the US (though they were never actually sold new there...) I'd call it a pickup. If imported from Australia, I'd call it a ute. And, if it were a JDM (which they are), I'd call it a truck. In short, I'd just use the language from the respective sales literature.

That Cosmo makes me really sad! 😭 Funny to hear nobody uses the term yonmeri for these four door Skylines! I've always learned yonmeri was used because it has for doors and I've used that term for many years now... Maybe it's just a regional thing? It just the people outside Japan? 😰

I think I may have mis-characterised it. It's not wrong, I have heard people here use it. I, and some other people, just don't bother making the distinction. I.e. Kenmeri, can refer to both.

Sorry, I commented as I was waking up. There really was a whole thing, but I could only catch 30~40% of what he was saying. He said it had raced at Autopolis racetrack with the 3.1 engine. Had something fatal happened to that engine? Maybe. Was the tune of the engine exposing the bakes, suspension as not being up to the task? Maybe. Whatever, though. He had his reasons. Your initial comment came across to me as simplistic. You and I weren’t there. The dude was. He knows. We don’t
