This guy should do TV Commentary as a job.
He's very knowledgeable, relaxed and enjoyable to listen to.
This guy is a legend, anyone who starts off in a Hachi Roku will always have better appreciation for classic JDM cars. The stuff dreams are made of.
Older cars like these seem to have a life of there own, A Living thing.....when you drive one you can feel the car talking to you...comunicating what is feeling from the road, its mechanical parts, you become connected, you become ONE.....Every true car guy knows exactly what im talking about. ;)
Kevin is such a rad person.
I met him at a couple of mx5 events and he was so keen to hear about everyone’s mods and talk about his cars. Absolutely the kind of guy we need more of in the scene.
🙌🏻
This car is literally the coolest thing I have ever seen. I have just fallen absolutely in love with it. Goodbye e46 m3, this thing might just take over that spot in my heart.
This ka has THE SOUL! Thumbs up for Hakosuka!
Thanks a lot for keeping the greatness of Skyline in Australia. Im owner of BNR32 in JPN, but most Japanese youth never understand the taste of Skyline.... enjoy your Hakosuka 2000GT ("Hakosuka" means "Boxy Skyline" in Japanese)!
I've read the article this guy put up on some restoration website, really inspired me to learn more about the inner workings of a car so I could restore a beauty like this one day!
I love the look he gives what he said he became responsible.
Owner's enthusiasm is very evident in his eyes, nothing makes a person feel alive than to experience that feeling! I came of driving age in the very early 80s and RWD small imports(and domestics) were what we could afford as teenagers(sure a musclecar would have been great, but at 8mpg, too expensive to feed). Celicas, Ford Capris(German made ones), Datsun 510s, Mazda rotaries(although back then they were unreliable at the time), Mustang II V-8s, Vegas etc taught you how to drive properly IMO
When the kids came along, I had the big black rotary thing :-) Still do, it's been the family beater for 6yrs now.
This is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen.
Under the bonnet it looks like my 910, which is in many pieces in my garage. Hopefully this will be an inspiration to fix it up.
so much detail and love from beginning to end. I love car stories like this
omg i almost started crying man ;)
id already seen and read almost the WHOLE blog about the resto process and its soo coool to be able to watch this video about how it turned out bro haha
its such a epic car, i wish i could have one.. one day, idk i might try find a good one from japan but i just love everything about old cars man.. your just driving a work of art, its ancient history but way more beautiful and fully original jdm :')
this has to be the best video on youtube.. ;D
This car is nothing short of beautiful ... great job
That's some beautiful old sheet metal, Mate! The engine is "the sound of music"!
Beautiful,just beautiful..... thanks for owning,caring for and sharing this beauty....and hello from Ireland :)
This is magnificent specimen of a Nissan and I love the passion and love the owner has for his car. I wish everyone could experience driving something so wonderful and original too (me included) my dream is to own and restore a classic. Hats off to this Aussie who has done it right . JDM forever!
you own a classic
Simply beautyful.
Kevin bro...ur spot on man. My dad has had a handful of old datsuns, ive only managed to drive one of them while i was still on my L's, a SSS turbo. I swear they felt "alive", i remeber talking to it through corners, sounds crazy but old cars have a character that make u feel involved in the drive
loved reading the build thread back in the day on JDMST.
Just bought myself a pretty old car, and I totally agree on you, it sure is nice and it creates a special bond between you and the car.
WELL DONE MY FRIEND.THATS A DREAM CAR RIGHT THERE.
Respect from Poland! Keep it up!
A LEGEND OF STREETRACING AND THE MOST IMPORTANT CAR FOR JAPANESE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY!
I drove Kevin's DR30 around Mt Panorama (admittedly it was only one lap, fairly sedate because there was a highway patrol car ominously parked on Conrod) and that was quite a treat.
After experiencing just one lap in one of Kevin's tweaked cars, I'm sure his Hako is just amazing.
That is amazing. Great work mate, soo jealous.
until now i've always been an RS2000 freak,but now the game as changed...what a car!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your story with us . i found it very interesting that you have the same problem of trying to find out what the last owner had done. and not done ..makes it comforting to know someone else is playing spot the mod
Long live the old sports car soul!
I am Japanese. As of 2019, the GTR as well as the Hakosuka series itself are extremely expensive in Japan and difficult to obtain.
This Hakoska is a replica, but it is no longer a Japanese treasure, Mr. Kevin, please take care.
Thank you.
Beautiful. Id have one if it wasnt such a pita to get to the US
really nice passion, yes older guy sometime is nice, once you own it will remember forever
beautiful work i respect people who are willing to restore old cars its like bringing someting to life i want to do someting like this myself big up respect.!
one day i will own one...i dont know how or when but this is my dream car
i said when i was 15 my dream car was a 240sx coupe and manage to be the proud owner
of one until this day.... :)
hakosuka, takes my award for the best sounding vehicle ever. sounds better than any ferrari even.
I'm hooked, i clicked every ad so you get paid. Good show
....a thing of beauty.
Absolutely amazing hakosuka, my dream car. And even though my current ride is a 67' camaro I'd give it up for a KPGC10 anyday. But classic cars are alive and they talk to you proven by my camaro, they have soul unlike cars built today full of software.
that is the most beautifle thing i have seen, ever, and sounds like a monster when provoked
this guy has great passion for cars. awesome. .
i saw 75 skyline at a show in atlanta. it was bad ass!
It takes a true car lover to see the beauty in the s20, most people see it as an old piece of shit but, it was the beginning of the evolution of skylines... mad respect! would love to have that someday
The springs are really inboard on a Hako, so the spring rate is very high (stock is about 450). So 1100 is only about 2.5 times stiffer than stock.
That has to be one of the best exhaust notes I've ever heard.
Love the 2000GT-R it would be a dream to own and restore one
i just finished reading the whole build of this, bring out part 2!!!
Give the guys at JDM Legends in Utah a call. As David Ramirez said, they are old enough to be exempt from smog testing in many states, but I believe the rules are different depending on where you live. There are maybe 20Hakos on the roads in the USA already.
My good god.... thats gorgeous.
i would absolutely love to do a restoration like this.
I love the car, and i'm only 16, but i still love old cars, there are just something about them that most new cars don't have.. I would love a classic car like this as my first car, only problem is, in Denmark cars cost a lot of money, and that make's me so sad, because there are so many car lovers out there... So sad:(
I saw this car today. Made my life.
that mazda luche is extremely clean, also have never witnessed one.
Fantastic car mate, A REAL CAR, MADE FROM REAL METAL... G I love old school models..!!! I was into early year rotaries myself. But like u say, to drive a car like them, it's the best experience ever..!!! Nice work on the Nissan ..!!!
JDM for LIFE!!
Gentelem
You just made my day a lot brighter
Read through JNC about this one. Great to see you worked out all the bugs. Must have been a good bargain needing so much work to make street worthy again.
We have a video in our section on one recently picked up. Have a look.
Awesome interview and video! Bring out more like this Mark!
What a ride! great video and good interview too!
Besides the R33 and R34 GTRs...this is my third favourite. Out of all the Skyline GTR range it has a classic tough look to it.
There is a duct that runs along the underside of the bonnet, and it's fed by a big scoop that takes up half of that chrome grille area.
There’s something about the hakosuka GT-R that I’ve always really enjoyed. Maybe it’s the aggressive American muscle car styling mixed with refined Japanese mechanicals, size, and lightweight. Or maybe the humble sedan roots turned boy racer. Maybe it’s the sound of a straight six under the bonnet.
to be continued for 2 years now!
come on boys!
absolutely gorgeous car. one of my favorite skylines/cars of all time. but lmfao, if my school headmaster was driving this to church on sunday then hed be the one everyone would be praying to hahaha
that sound is worth the money alone.
The rear springs are mounted very inboard on a Hako, so the spring rates have to be heavier to compensate. Stock is about 400pounds at the rear, so 1100 is not quite three times the stock rate.
Wow @ those 30 idiots that disliked this video. They probably think horsepower is all it counts.
yea dumb fucks
Yea most of the muscle cars fan nothing just huge engine and there you go
ReviewAssUSA The car does look like a box.
Hako literally means box and suka is short for Sukairain which means Skyline.
Awesome car man and great video, I know exactly what you mean about that feeling of driving a classic, I have a 69 10APP R100 and its like nothing else.
My dreamcar!
About $60k all-up. Hakos in Japan start at about $20k and an average example is about the high-$20s (mine was $28k). Then there's about another $5k to get it landed, plus the various restoration costs over the years.
nothing sounds better than an inline six with triples on it.
Mind you phat1234, we did follow this video up with one explaining all the decals on the car
Absolutely amazing interview. Makes me feel proud of my hobby
Come to Australia for World Time Attack one year, I'm sure Kevin would take you for a spin in it :)
2:51 - Just love those straight, simple lines. Just love them.
ive watched this vid many times, each time is like the 1st, absolutely love it!
Hey, the 2002 beat out my Datsun 510. I have a '72 510 wagon and though part of me wishes the wagon took off in it's production days (then maybe BMW would have responded with a 2002 wagon! lol), the 2002 remained on top (giving me the rare factor today). Despite the lose during production, I love my car to the fullest and I love being apart of an universal club of historic car owners. She's no Hakosuka GT-R, but she's my piece of Japanese history.
Awesome gt, classic cars have their own personalities.
WOW! the sound is stunning! perfect ending.
@Bosmob I LOVE cars period.....Japanese,American,European....Mazda RX3, 68Barracuda or a shoebox 55,56,57 Chevy even a classic like a Duesenberg or a Cord....You see I just feel older cars have a personality, it becomes more personal. In 1973 my Dad due to the gas crisis traded in his 68 Plymouth Barracuda for a 73 Datsun 1200 in Japan known as a "Sunny". I was mad as hell, I told him pop's what have you done? Whats funny its today I would kill to have either car . Hahaa enjoy the ride.
damn you jdm!
ill probably never drive something under 10 years old because of what i like these days. and im 15 soon so i need a car soon, hopefully i find a nice datto i can fix up
i got to meet this guy
You Sir Have My Respect! Well Done And Mad Props! That Is One Beautiful Piece Of Machinery You Got There! I Luv It!
Ordinary meaning is "Japanese Domestic Market." Today, it is used in the sence of custom Japanese car.
wow I did not know there where any in Australia. If your ever in Melbourne , can I please have a look. I've always wanted to see one of these in the flesh
Thankyou bro for sharing, its beautiful and full credit to you!
Sydney definitely has style bro.
OMG your car history is...awesome.
The best car of the world for me!
A little bit was lost in translation/editing, but the point was that the stock, narrow-bodied Hako coupe is a very sober, suit-and-tie kind of car. If it was a person, its clothes would always be immaculately ironed and it would make its bed perfectly every day :-)
A little bit was cut out in the editing, about how it's amazing how such a sober, upstanding looking car just looks so "right" and in proportion when it's converted to a crazy race car,
Hakosuka
this car.......perfection
The car that started it all...
oh man i like the way you describe your car.Excellent video
Hell yea! Sinatra strolling out of The Sands, with Sammy Davis and Dean Martin just a few steps behind.
So the racing Hakosuka is kinda like Sinatra taking the stage, and playing Ace of Spades by Motorhead :D
I like the B/W to color, nice touch.
This is the most informative video on a piece of JDM Goldness! Finally a video about something JDM without hearing some 18-23 year olds blabbing about "VTEC" or saying "Its JDM as fuck yo!".
There are a few shops in Japan that do restoration parts just for Hakosuka. Rubber Soul and Victory50 are two big ones (google 'em they have lots of parts on their sites). And then a lot of stuff is still available from Nissan itself.
The entire build thread for this car is viewable on JNC somewhere. Google 'JNC Project Hakosuka'. Extremely interesting read if you're into building cars at all - and even if you're not, it's interesting to see how Kevin had to basically re-build this thing.
Beautiful car mate! Who cares if its not a “GTR” its badass to me!
It’s for sale now too 😉
Oh??? How much? Owning one is on my bucket list. Lol
im new to tuner cars as Japanese call them,racing too?i grew up with muscle cars that only went fast down the 1/4 strip(my dream car as a kid"challenger 440 6 pack"i got to go for ride in 1 when i was 15,38 now.most wanted hemi,my memories were with the 6 pack"was my dream car"i cant afford 1,laughs.i ended up with air cool vws cheap fun)looking at these older Japanese cars ae6,datson 510(240z that might be $)im ready 4 cheap fun on mountain roads.maybe some old japan cars to learn/look into now
