32Builds is a channel to showcase the progress and techniques I will use on my Datsun 1200 restoration project. I post videos on my build projects, various how to's as well as footage of events that I visit. My aim is to show you that with enough passion and persistence, anything is achievable.
Why 32? The number 32 is pronounced 'san-nii' in japanese, sounding like Sunny. This channel was birthed on the build progress of my 1976 Datsun Sunny pick-up. To checkout the full playlist of the build progress, check out the link below!

Can’t lie you got mad high quality production if you stay consistent you gon grow quickly.

[@32Builds]

Cheers!!! Doing my best alongside other things going on around here!

[@owlytv]

@@32Builds I'd love to know what camera setup you're using and editing software etc. It all looks so awesome

[@BerzerkerGatzu]

I fully agree.

[@daalp11]

Agreed. You got them vid skills bud.

[@adelaideinvigilation5230]

Instead of walking the dog down the lift you walked your engine, any comments on the way down?

[@32Builds]

No luckily nobody has seen me do it haha! Although the apartment doesn't allow dogs, so engines are allowed

[@shafikerridge8353]

Been waiting for new content on the dato. Here in South Africa we call them the Nissan champ bakkie. Our version of the sunny only discontinued in 2008 and is a 1400. Keep going with the content mate you are a natural.

[@32Builds]

Thank you so much!!

[@alanmears517]

Excellent progress. Please make sure you isolate that aluminium radiator from the body (with eg nylon washers) or it'll rot and get pinholes in very little time. It took me 2 radiators in my Datto to figure that one out

[@32Builds]

Cheers Alan for the heads up! I'll chuck in some nylon isolators when I'm next down there!

[@josephjoseph9620]

Uff me siento como si fuera mío 😆👍

[@X1Snowman]

Been waiting for this for ages haha. Looks so good 👌👌 cant wait to get my coupe back on the road

[@32Builds]

Cheers!! Good luck! It'll be awesome to see more of these on the road!

[@johnnieblue9091]

What rim sizes have you got for the front and the rear?

[@32Builds]

They're both 13inch, x6.5 front, x7 rear

[@estebanrojas229]

congrats for fantastic job!! i have one, where you find the emblem grill ?

[@32Builds]

Thank you! There's a classic car parts shop near where I live where I managed to find it!

[@davidtheophillus9832]

Good progress! Like the way you lifted that engine bay.

[@32Builds]

So lucky its everything is so small and light! No need for a crane too haha

[@antoniochuco3367]

Hola un buen video del motor Datsun por qué no haces un video en español Soy de Perú

[@32Builds]

Hello mate! Thanks so much! Unfortunately I don't know how to speak Spanish so they'll all be in english xD

[@mattdebney6927]

Do you have a vidoe about installing rear quarter panels coming?

[@32Builds]

Yes definitely in the future :) At the moment they're just clamped on and I'm going to have to align the panels and weld them permanently.

[@AaJii]

I hope you don't ever start rushing this quality content like many others do. These videos are excellent quality and I rather wait than see rushed content. Thank you

[@32Builds]

I think its apparent that I'm not rushing the content 😂 as long as I work on it, there'll be videos though!

[@davidlauder75]

Mate love your videos and work so good champion effort in a unit

[@32Builds]

Cheers! Wasn't sure how I was gonna do it in a unit, but I thought it through and came up with a long term game plan xD

[@YoutubeIsWatchingYou]

Watching from Taiwan. Inspiring work 👍

[@32Builds]

Thank you!!!

[@freashtoast1684]

are they brand new nuts and bolts ore replated? did you need to clean them before sending them off to the replater?

[@32Builds]

All the suspension bolts were re-plated and I didn't have to get them cleaned beforehand as the guy chucked em' in a big parts tumbler. Otherwise all the common sized bolts I tend to get brand new :)

[@markpage660]

Ratchet. Many uses including small hammer

[@32Builds]

Hahaha pondered whether I should keep it in the video! Its a good one so it can take a beating. Not too much though, there's a point where I'll stop being lazy and go get my tools haha

[@ziwti3602]

Can you tell us all the upgrades and were did you buy it???????? Suspension, radiator, carburetor, Stabilizer bars...

[@32Builds]

Hi, sorry I left those details out of the video! The coil overs are custom made, I bought second hand and the radiator is 3 core off eBay. The rest is still stock! ...for the moment haha

[@ziwti3602]

@@32Builds I have a Datsun 120y and started to restore, thanks for the answer now I know where to get a radiator. Your project is getting good and from now on it will start moving faster because at this moment you start to see evolution and you don't want to stop.

[@owensharp8568]

Its so shiny!!! Beautiful work, subbed now. I am restoring (by restore I mean building a chassis underneath the original) my B140 (1991) which is basically the same car, from the RSA market. Sadly I'm building it to do work with for now, but one day I'll retire her from work to being a fun car!

[@32Builds]

Thanks so much! I love that, it'll be a work horse, then retire to be a fun cruiser :) Sounds like it'll be a loved member of your family :))

[@owensharp8568]

@@32Builds Oh yes! She's already a big part of the family, and her name is Stacy! I may one day get some content to put onto youtube as well!

[@bradleypolmans2349]

Wheres the rest of your vids, got to see the progress right until the end bud!

[@32Builds]

Haha they're slow, but there'll always be videos as long as I'm working on the car :)

[@mabonga88]

Which disc and caliper are u using in the front?

[@32Builds]

Hey mate, they're an sr20 s13 caliper with an ca18 s13 rotor. I've got to make a new adapter to make them fit though! Still haven't finalised what I'll do for them though. Might even switch to a 14 inch rim so they'll fit haha

[@jepepitomanaloto4053]

Damn! I'm hooked on your build.

[@32Builds]

Cheers! I'm glad :D

[@alfredbosire4326]

I like 32builds videos.I have learned more about Datsun 1200 and even 1500 both engine overhauls body restoration Therefore I won't stop watching your videos. Thanks.

[@nelsonotero2543]

what model and year are there Pick Up ?

[@32Builds]

Datsun 1200 (b120) (sunny) 1976

[@jedhernandez6608]

"ah man the engine won't fit under the car... let me just pick the car up higher with one hand" hahaha. Great vids, literally just binged the previous videos. Sad your last upload was 8 months ago 😢

[@antoniocortez8487]

I'm working in a b210 this just motivated me to keep going Good work Where do you get ur parts from?

[@32Builds]

Cheers!! Thats awesome, keep going! I get all my parts through eBay!

[@manaurytorres9265]

Hello, how are you, I would like to know where I can get or buy that exploded view that you use on the PC, I have a 92 truck and I am restoring it following all your steps, it is a pity that you have not been able to upload more videos, they are fabulous, I congratulate you.

[@32Builds]

Cheers!

[@Bastien-yg9dw]

could i ask what kind of carburetor and air filter you have :)? i have a datsun 200sx and am looking for a small carb like that to fit on my intake manifold

[@freashtoast1684]

Damn was enjoying binge watching this, been watching this since I saw a beat up 120y sedan sorta close to my city that would be interesting to play around with

[@32Builds]

I'm glad! You should defs give it a go if you've got the time :)

[@freashtoast1684]

@@32Builds i bought it and its been a blast, pretty beat up and suprised i havent been pulled over and got a message from one of the previous owners from 20 years ago, might be selling it for a tidy profit

[@freashtoast1684]

Caught a bit of a hitch in my build, turns out my engine is or has a a14/a15 head anc has waterports and I'm being a pain to seal up the waterports for the intake manafold, the things that arrise from a snapped studd is a pain

[@peterarbouin8895]

Hi, what a great build. It must have been satisfying to get those wheels on for the first time.😊

[@owlytv]

Congratulations on an awesome milestone!! Yay Lil a12! Love the attention to detail! What are you shooting your videos on? The quality is awesome

[@32Builds]

Wauu

[@MyDirtydan]

Yo. I need to replace the drivers side rear panel. Where on earth did you aquire your new rear panel?...also, where did you send the engine to get redone

[@32Builds]

I searched up 'datsun 1200 replacement rear quarter panel' and I found a local classic shop that re-sells them! Maybe its an Australian thing, but I'm pretty sure they get their panels from somewhere in Asia.

[@MyDirtydan]

@@32Builds do you remember the shop you got yours from. I need to replace the entire drivers side on my 1200

[@monogramadikt5971]

@@32Builds i think i heard somewhere that these early 70s, 80s datsuns imported into australia where partially being made in thailand at least *but dont quote me on that. i also think there was some work done on them at the nissan factory that used to be in melbourne before they were sold on to the public, but again i cant verify any of this , its just stuff ive heard in passing conversations with other people

[@tiaanfranken6169]

I have a mad amount of respect for you with this build. It just shows that you don't need a massive shop to build a car. And also once you are finished you won't regret it because they drive amazing. (coming from a datsun ute owner)

[@32Builds]

Much appreciated! I love how easy this car is to work on as well! What a well build beast!

Waaahhhhnderful! Can't wait to hear it start in there!

Ya esta tomando forma

Yes!

[@CRIFEBO]

Friend could you provide me with the manuals or digital documents, I have looked for it and I can not find them and see that you have a detailed sheet of the suspension system, please!

[@32Builds]

Shoot me a message on instagram and I'll show you where you can find them!

[@bagelroman]

Amazing work man! Just curious, why coilovers, but not adjustable control arms or tension rods? Just did all that to my B210 these last few months 👍

[@32Builds]

I'll most likely be doing many more modifications in the future :)

[@alejandroporoj4787]

Beautifull job bro

[@32Builds]

Thank you so much 😀

[@OverwelmingTriumphnt]

Im in the middle of converting my 1200 coupe to s13 front suspension and its definitely a pain compared to that. Finding suspension stuff for these is near impossible in the USA. Thanks for the great content. Its very encouraging to see and helps immensely.

[@32Builds]

Thank you so much for the kind words :) Yeah these cars you've pretty much got to custom for a lot of things. If you've got the cash, some people go with MadDat suspension, they're an Australian company that do heaps of suspension parts for the Datto :)
