Nissan kinda did. The skyline was a product of the Prince motor company, as a luxury car. In the 60s Nissan bought Prince. Nissan continued to manufacture the Skyline but started to remove the luxury items and turned it into a sporty sedan and coupe. The current skyline is now a crossover SUV. The last skyline sedan/coupe was sold in the us as the Infiniti G35, the only skyline ever officially sold in the US. The current GTR officially has no lineage to the previous skyline GTRs according to Nissan.
CamaroAmx actually the current Skyline is what we Americans refer to as the Infiniti Q50 and the Infiniti Q60. The V35, V36 and V37 Skylines were all sold as Infiniti’s in the US, the G35 and the G37 come to mind, since these are Skylines. The circular taillights in the rear is a dead giveaway as to what car it really is.
@@timsunderland5153 Nissan is actually a Japanese work. In Japanese, the character "に" (Ni) is pronounced "Nee". The way James pronounces Nissan is incorrect
@@arinb.756 Well in their case, they were a bit forced to get another engine since Aussie laws aren't that friendly. But yeah RB26 is the Japan LS swap.
What a funny coincidence! I had a car(early '90's) I [nicknamed] "the tank", too! Difference is, the car i named that was my 1980 BMW 528i. It's also funny how both cars have a 3 digit numeric designation that begins with the number 5. My reason for calling it "the tank"(German, of course) was the SAME as yours . . . unstoppable* vehicle! By mid 90's, I was driving a white '69 510 4-door. I loved that 510, especially after the many performance upgrades I did to it. It was so much fun to drive! Today, I drive a Toyota TUNDRA. I call it: "reliable".
I don't have any socials apart from youtube(if you can call it ), but stay safe and healthy Pumpfreys and the team at Donut. You guys have helped in ways some wont understand and others will. Once Again thank you Donut Team.
I hate to say it but, James you are the one and only reason why I watch Donut Media. I have to say thank you and I greatly appreciate everything that you do.
Love the highly researched content presented in the James’s most exciting way. Thanks for the call out to Moog and Marty. But seriously, do a collab please 🙏🏽
Three things: 1) I looked it up, and YEAH! Paul Newman IS James' uncle. (I got your back, James!) 2) The oil embargo MUST be mentioned because it's as important then as the COVID-19 situation is in 2020. 3) Donut Media for Congress!
Dude I’ve been going through all yalls vids and I absolutely love and enjoy your enthusiasm breaking the history and charisma with your jokes I laugh out loud every time you drop those gags or impressions, and the audience you kills me every time lmaoo
JAMES, your ridiculously hilarious at a fever pitch in this one. I LOVED the John Morton line, ‘The guy who invented salt’ 🤣🤣 Great job on this vid guys!
i have a Subaru Brat, and theres parts on it that say Datsun, including the key and ignition cylinder, hilarious, not to mention the oil filter also belongs to 1970's Datsuns.
Love the new video! such amazing timing I just finished getting my 240SX s14 with an engine swap but couldn't get it to start so just towed it to a shop. Can't wait to be drift around corners! go the same engine as the S15 in it.
@@charlesbissey9901 that car was sold at my work, I spent 18 hours detailing that thing. We expected it to do like 80k then somehow it was at 100k and then just kept climbing. It honestly was fuckin crazy lol
My best bud in high school had a Datsun 810 hatchback, and it was clean, inside and out. I always liked the pickups, so I reckon that's where Nissan came up with the name Hardbody, back in the mid 80s, for their truck.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Pumphrey!! Ive been watching since the start youre so funny and informative. Im glad youre doing better and recovered. Love the GTR in the back hope you drive it!
@@arinb.756 Yeah, i tried watching a few episodes of it. I didn't even watched the 1st real race of the anime because the story is really weird. Like the car cannot be controlled by all of it's owners because the car is possessed. That turned me off. It's racing man. I don't need possessed car BS. The protagonist also crashed the car. Rebuilding the car is too long for me. A crashed car means no racing for a while also in the anime. I didn't even know that it's more about tunning. I don't know if it's worth another try watching some of the episodes. Maybe it will get interesting... I watched Capeta. That is another racing manga/anime that I know is good. Can you suggest any racing anime/manga? It doesn't have to be just cars. I watched the marathon anime on Netflix. It's more on the reality of college marathon running. It's not good but I finished it. I tried watching Free the swimming anime. I stopped watching it because the characters started to get weird. It's like the they are male guys but the scenes are almost gay. I also have watched Yowamushi Pedal. A highschool cycling racing anime. It's kind of fun not to be taken seriously racing anime.
Datsun/Nissan's have been in my family since I was little. My Mom and Dad each had 240 and 260 z's. My Mom also had a 510, then later a 280zx. Of course the 280's voice didn't work right and said doors were "ajar" all the time lol. My favorite memories of that Z was sometimes after getting picked up from school, my Mom would let me lay down in the back and watch the sky through the hatch as she drove us home.

It's Pumphrey's Birthday! How should he celebrate while social distancing? Most creative suggestion gets pinned!
Split up and try to find his dad so he can get 30 years of presents.
Drag racing his father, on a Shelby GT500
Should his father not be located, Nolan must be his new opponent
Idk but I’ll celebrate by smacking my donut sticker on my dash. Give him his dream car and let him drive back roads where no one is.
Celebration stream!
U should get a custom made Pumphrey 502 with a 502 big block engine
Thank God that weird dude in the audience is back, he's really amped James up
I wonder who he is??
james is nothing with out lil boy Jaime lol
@@ishaqhussain5345 the world may never know, but he seems to be here to stay...
WEIRD!?
Pretty sure that dude is a super fan who had plastic surgery to make himself look just like James...🤔
My father recently passed and he was the one driving the blue datsun. I want to say thank you for featuring him in the video.

is no one gonna talk about James having a r34 behind him

It's a green screen. 2:07
Is it a green screen or am I tripping 😂
I thought you meant Rule34 fck
Are r34s really that big a deal to yanks😂😂
When I was young, I used to be mad at Datsun for stealing Nissan's cars.

Not gona lie that "Lightning, Thunder" bit had me giggling 😂
The 240Z is my favorite classic car 😍 Thank you, Donut
Same!
280z all the way

COVID-19: I don't think so
They have a really sick rb26 swapped 240Z
Oh really. Marty and Moog thought the coronavirus was when you drink too much Beer!?
That's normally what makes a sick down under 🙃

Should make a Mo’Power Baby movie staring James and which will kick off the Donut Media Cinematic Universe

Also their carbureted so they’re a bitch to tune.

Day 90 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
dedication man ....
Keep fighting the good fight my man!!
“Give up” it’s definitely not in his book.
Keep going, man!! 💪
His dad was so fast to leave that we cant get up to speed...
I learned how to drive manual in a Datsun. They'll always have a special place in my heart.
I've been in love with Datsun since my dad got his '75 280Z. Glad you guys finally did an episode on them!
anyone remember roadkill's rotsun?
Also hello skyline
Easily my favorite RK car.
Roadkill..sellouts
We called the Datsun 510 we had, “The Tank”. It was unstoppable. Totally reliable and we loved it. Thanks guys.

Problems with the Miata?
Those two channels together would be madness. Can only hope

Would be the best collab of the moment
They already had a badass crossover with RoadKill, maybe they'll do it? But then again Donut doesn't seem to be making as many cars so I dunno.
maybe on money pit i guess...

And now, introducing THUNDER!! THUNDER!! THUNDER!!

2) The oil embargo MUST be mentioned because it's as important then as the COVID-19 situation is in 2020.
3) Donut Media for Congress!

idk how he's a car enthusiast but still pronounces Nissan wrong 😭
R Jasp he jokes a lot with his pronunciations but this one..

Actually a lot of countries say it like that, only North America says it I believe
James must be watching a lot of Top Gear, he's pronouncing Nissan wrong.
