Cool didnt think you would be able to get them.

What did this stuff cost cheap ?

Down hear nissan parts cost a ton.

The larger parts were less expensive than Nissan USA (which no longer can get them in any case), but the smaller parts were about 3 times higher (one screw is 30 cents US, but about a dollar here).

There are some shop in Yokohama that specialize in Datsun/Nissan, and one that specializes in Sunny Truck! I plan to visit that one tomorrow. They have emblems advertised. Aoba Auto

Very cool David.

Still yet to see a 1200 ? I guess you should see one for sure at the Sunny Truck place.

AOBA-AUTO is my friend company.
SUNNY TRUCK specialized company.

Now there's something you don't see every day.



A dual sidedraught manifold, for the oval port bolt pattern, but for the round port shape.
These heads are around, but I never imagined someone would make a performance manifold for it when the oval port head would be a better choice in the first place.

Only at the Sunny Truck Shop.

Aoba-Auto is bery nice shop for SUNNY-TRUCKs !

I'm back home! Everyone I spoke with in Japan - from young to old - was surprised and interested to find that I drive a Datsun 1200.

The Sunny Truck Shop was fantastic, it is a good place to buy a truck (1990 or newer) and the parts as listed on their web site. The owner and mechanic were both very friendly and took my picture and talked a bit. The trucks are all nice varying from original to modified.

I got some Sunny emblems there. They were out of used tachometers at the moment, though new ones are available about $300 USD. They had a NISMO 10,000 rpm Sunny speedometer but of course it was not for sale (it was different from the Datsun Competition 10k model).

Sunny Truck Shop is a must see if you've never seen B120/B122 utes. It was my first look in the metal, and I must say I like them more than ever now! The Shop is straightforward to get to by train:
1. From Tokyo, take Keihin-Tohoku line to Higashi-Kanagawa station (station map PDF)
2. Take Yokohama line to Nagatsuta station
3. Take train to Onda station. You can see the Shop from the station (look for the Jomo gasoline station sign)

Here's a picture of the Datsun 1200 stuff I got while there.

Sounds like your trip was a good one. The company you visited is'nt one I had heard of before. Now time to plan a summer trip downunder ...hint hint.

Whats the go with the plates David ?

The plates are just souveniers. I thought I'd display the Yokohoma (横浜) plates on show days ... the other set is Niigata (新潟).
