1982 Datsun 120Y from Malaysia - Comments

I just bought a Datsun 120Y B310.. for my second car.. really amazing.. the pickup is very powerful, more than my Proton..

I'm using the car for my daily routine without a big problem. Datsun models have become popular again.. a popular choice for restorers and some are used in drifting activities.

Some info about Datsun enthusiasts in Malaysia can found here http://keretalama.freeforums.org or http://retrosyndicate.freeforums.org/index.php

Hi every 120y's owner out there. My parent's bought it in 1981 (brand new). The car is amazing. I can say that the quality of interior is 100 times better than new car nowadays.

I did one top overhaul last 2 year. Until today the car is in a perfect shape and well maintained.

We did change the colour 3 times, and now it's a silver colour.

The only problem is the lower part of the body easily gets rusty. We never did any modifications to this car, and even the Datsun D cap on the wheel is still there (on all wheels.. 4)

I'm very proud of it, and even if you're a millionaire, you cannot have this model anymore. HIDUP 120Y!

My restored Datty (top-overhauled engine, new paint, new wheels) performs like a jewel even managing to give some of those Ah Bengs in their loud, souped-up Wiras a run for their money once in a while. And the pesky Mat Rempits don't dare tangle with old cars like mine as they all know that the ole school cars had tougher bodies, hence trying to crash into my Dats wouldn't be a good idea! Long live the Dats!!
