I own the Turbo R-X version in the exact same colour scheme, unicorn indeed! I've only seen a handful of photos worldwide in that scheme, so cool to see an original RS-X!

Stunning Silvia is right! Lovely car. Love the 80's Japanese design, especially cars such as this.

Fucking fantastic find! You just sent me down a wormhole of google searches related to this car. Looks like no work is getting done for at least another half hour : )

This is my favorite wasabicars video ever. I've been an avid S12 enthusiast for years now, I've built up 3 of them and my brother has one as well, love these cars to death. SICK. FINALLY. FUUUUUCK.

Awesome videos lately! Thanks for the extra info on the car and wheels also.

Nice find! Thanks and keep up the great works! Us “old Japanese” car nuts really appreciate it!

I NEVER see enough DR30s xD quite rare in melbourne,love the vids. Thanks Dan!

Nice spotting!!! And thank you for the shots of the cherry blossoms and the shrine. So beautiful!! Before yesterday I could say that I had never seen an AE86. I was so happy to take pictures of that car!! Felt like a bit of a geek, though. LOL

Wow what a beautiful looking car! Love the shape, the white body, charcoal lower section and white rims. The red and white decals look very cool too. Japan also looks beautiful this time of year! Cheers

Excellent Daniel, great find. Please keep it up.

WOW ! What an epic find . I love Skylines but usually not impressed with other Nissans ( well kinda like the z cars ) , but this is just IMMMM PRESSSS IVVVVE . Would love to have seen this in person . This is gonna be that EPIC WASSABI CARS moment with many just wringing our hands as we wait to see if the owner contacts you to share more about this gem . WOW ! JUST EPIC !

Now that's a sick car!!

I've only ever seen 1 S12 before, wasn't in as good as shape as this one tho.Great video Daniel

Wow. Really great. This is a Beauty of a Car Great Work Mate :-)

What a beauty!

Wow... just wow! never seen this one before

That is one sexy motor... I honestly think the best one till now! Congrats!

Great find Dan. They were the Nissan Gazelle here in Aussie, but we never got the FJ20T one.

Truely awesome.

Love it! I have an SEV6 S12 here in the states. Same engine as a Z31. Great cars.

What sorcery is this. An 80's Nissan with a working power antenna? A unicorn indeed.

What an awesome car, great video! QOTD: I haven't seen a Nissan S15 on the street (I live in Denmark) :-)

Stunning! I want it!

What a gorgeous car! I own an all original 70,000 mile U.S. spec 1985 Nissan 200SX XE coupe so I am a little biased. It has the exact same body and interior minus the hood bulge. Anyhow,love, love, love this!

I've seen some Gazelle's around Melbourne but never a coupe like this, and the top sports model in this condition is awesome to see, thanks Daniel. I have not seen a Norton F1 Motorcycle.

I haven't seen $1,000,000. Love the shape of cars from that time period!

Pretty cool car, i've never seen one before this video, so thanks Dan, and it's super clean. Love the cherry blossoms, that picture you took of the hillside is beautiful, our cherry blossom is just starting to flower :) QOTD- i've never seen a Monster truck apart from on tv, I watch Monster Truck racing everyday, but i'd love to see it for real :) keep up the good work Dan.

thats one clean s12. I have not seen any in my area other than mine. fun little cars especially when you have one that makes 400hp.

Wow sick car

love the hatch versions of these

Better than my S12, nice work to the owner

Great looking car Dan, it reminds me of a Nissan Exa. :-)

Nice find, buddy.

Awesome!!!

So many cool cars and the scenery is beautiful to say the least. Very jealous. :D Oh yeah, I've never seen a Renault Alpine A110 but I'm eagerly awaiting for that moment.

Perfect S12! I would love it even more with some period 80's wheels, (Hoshino G5's would be nice), but you can't have everything I suppose ^_^. What's more important though is that it's been loved and preserved. Things I have not seen? Frozen...

damn sweet car!

fantastic video. very cool and rare car i like it.

Awesome. You simply don't know how much I would like that exact car in my garage. I wouldn't change a thing. Did you notice the 'ok' sticker still on the side window?

Cool thanks forgot about that video

nicely restored.

This car was actually for sale a few months ago, it was around the 10k mark.

She"s a gem! And Silvia S12 And WORK CR KAI!

Oh man that's a beautiful car. here in the US I believe this was called the 200SX. Another thing, every time I see the hatchback I automatically think AE86 or Accord Hatchback. There were just so many cars in this period that looked the same. QOtD: I actually haven't seen an R34 here in the US. I've seen RHD Supra MKIVs, S15 Silvias, R32 Skylines, heck I've even seen prototype 1:1 scale clay models for the FD RX-7 but never an R34.

This is awesome! I have been waiting for a car show to do an s12 because I actually have one myself (not the one in the profile pic mind you). I bought it in pretty trashy condition and restored it to 90-95% condition and I got lucky cuz it has the torquey vg30. QOTD: I've never seen an r34 because I live in the states and they're illegal ha!

i killed a unicorn... and it almost killed me in the process, just the Aussie hatch version with the ca20, still a car that was lots of fun while it lasted :) great channel Dan keep up the good work :) oh and for the qotd i am yet to see a nissan gloria on ur channel, but as im a new subscriber i havent watched all ur vids mate ...yet

very nice. Have u seen a pulsar ET turbo in japan? only one i seen is in Nissans DNA garage.

I think the extractors are a different shape to make it fit inside the smaller bay compared to the dr30, so its down on power from the rest of the fj20's because of that.

Love the Front Quarter and Side profiles.. Not digging the direct front profile though. Awesome find, and I suspect many videos coming from this trip :P

Got one, but a Gandprix version. Love it.

Nice ride - certainly the precursor to the S13 and S14 (had the US equivalent 240SX SE). Anyway, not as much of a unicorn in the US, known as the 200SX stateside and I've seen quite a few.

OH MY GOD THAT WAS FOR SALE AGES AGO!! Glad someone finally nabbed it from yahoo sales! have you ever found a Subaru XT6? or acylone or vortex :P

i havent seen a Hakosuka skyline. I know their are a few in melbourne, but ive still yet to see one, mainly because i cant make my way to car shows without in reach of public transport..classic Japan for example. Yearly show, never been. next year though, as ill be able to drive my silvia whenever i want too! and that too, couple more years and my 1992 s13 will be a nostalgic car! wow.

Also known as the Nissan Gazelle in Australia with a CA20E single overhead cam engine. In both coupe and hatchback shapes.

subbed

Awesome car! Those s12's are also very rare in America, especially the hatch version! What I've never seen and would greatly appreciate, if you ever had the chance to capture one, would be a 91-94 (second generation)Toyota MR2, Either the SW20 or the SW21.

Funny, a couple of weeks ago, I saw a red and black hatchback 200SX down the street from where I work. Too bad it was dark. It was like new. QOTD, well, just today on my way home, I cruised past the Chevy dealer by where I work and saw my very first 2014/15 Camaro Z/28. I'd love to find an R30/31 Skyline here in the states. I think that's about the last Skyline that I haven't seen.

It's a beaut I've 1,24 scale model to build and I think I'll use this one for some inspiration 👍

Wonderful car. I think it's more rarely in Japan, than in US or Australia. This bonnet was installed just because of engine. With original MKI bonnet you will not close it. Few months ago I was wondering when you will show some Silvia's - and here we go :D Thanks a lot.

I'm super jealous of the cherry blossoms and the visit to the shrine! If I ever visit Japan it has to be early springtime. :) The Silvia is super clean and a great looker for its age! I'm sure the owner is really taking care of the car. We got the FJ20 here in Europe as well, but then without the turbo. The turbo version has the CA18ET engine instead. We did get the hood bulge/scoop though on those FJ20 models and apparently Nissan had some leftovers and granted us the LSD as well on those models. I did spot a Silvia quite often in the Netherlands, like this turbo model: www.banpei.net/2013/10/28/down-on-the-street-red-nissan-silvia-s12 But the FJ20 model is also kind of an unicorn out here. Speaking of unicorns, the widebody Grand Prix model is such a unicorn and I was lucky to encounter one on a car show: www.banpei.net/2011/06/13/jaf2011-nissan-silvia-s12-grand-prix It looks awesome and certainly has lots of grip thanks to its widebody, but in engine performance terms it will never be as good as the RS-X. Lots of owners swap the FJ20 for a JDM turbo engine. QOTD: What haven't I seen? I have seen lots of things but just like I said in the beginning is true Japanese cherry blossoms, let alone a true Japanese cherry blossom festival.

Over here in the States, it was known as the 200SX, and I believe the SE version did come with the FJ20 DOHC turbo in it. We had the notchback, like that one, and the full hatchback, that was even cooler. I wanted one as a kid. What I haven't seen: a '78-80 Toyota Celica Sunchaser. Those are very rare.

I want one!!!!

I have never seen any of the cars you show on your Chanel ( because I live in England)

Haven't seen a Mitsubishi GTO (in your pics/vids i mean lol). I hope you can find one! :)

AWD ep85 toyota starlet, I own the ep82 GT versions butbi would love to see one in person!

Very nice car!!! Have you ever come across a Honda Prelude XX?

QOTD: I have an S13 silvia myself, but i'd love to see one of the csp311 silvia's one day. Not likely to see one in America though

i still haven't seen that grey r34 gtr that you pass by every day to work that your promised you would do!

a very rare find indeed there dan and in such wonderful condition. qotd: any nissan from the prince era .. sadly

Look at the cuff on the jeans 0:30 that will be me when i'm at that age so Coool :'D

neat,i still hope you will meet a pulsar n13 one day! :D about qotd...on my own eyes nearly everything you do a videos of,lel

wow I would love to just drive it like a mile or something. that car is just holy crap..... as for what I haven't seen hmmm that car's engine. (I'm not coming up with anything yet) a concert, although I have seen a symphony (was rather weird they were sending kids to see one... not sure how many wanted to see it.) oh, I haven't seen a speeding ticket (and hopefully never will)

'Bring the S16'!!!!!

love ur vids. hav u ever seen a nissan n12 pulsar et turbo? can u visit nissan DNA garage?is it open to public.

Wow, such a beautiful and apparently rare car. And where is it? In the spectator's parking lot!! Wish you could have found the owner and given him a head-slap and told him to enter it in the car show where it belongs! ^_^

are these life coincidences or what!? going back home today, i saw one of those S12's, i hope an american model, because it would be a shame to have another mutilated dahed JDM model in our roads, no intake so it wasn't a turbo, greenish silver was the colour; but what a great silvia!! i cannot say too much about this car, but i can say it looks gorgeous, definetly my style of car, and white, what else can you want in life? :D if you made this video 2 days ago, i would say an old mercedes pagoda for the question of the day, but i saw one yesterday on the motorway, i didn't wanted to crash the recently fixed primera again, so i couldn't take a shot, but i admit it was inmaculate, what a nice roof indeed. so question of the day is: a datsun roadster? i know that thousands of them arrived to america, but i've never seen one! seems that people liked their triumph heralds really much here, i still can find some of them :)

I had a S12 Nissan Gazelle with the CA20 engine. FJ20Ts were much more common then. God I wish I'd done the engine swap! The notchbacks are such a bastard for parts though. The hatch is heaps easier

Um good question! I haven't seen one of these for sure, but my answer is going to be the Lancia 037, have yet to see an original! Have seen all the other group B legends apart from it. Maybe get lucky like you did Dan 😉

Cool Trueno

in the USA we had ca18 and ka24

Haven't seen any trucks (small) datsun, nissan, toyota.

QOTD: An X30/40 series Toyota Mark II coupe. I don't think the coupes were an option here in North America, though I could be wrong. I see the odd sedan here and there though.

What is the name of your intro music?

各部が進化したFR本格スペシャルティー

suprised you havnt come across a nissan rz1 let, happy hunting. :)

Are there stop lights in the bonnet bulge, or am I imaging things?

I have a 1984 RS-X Hatchback in England

Природа вокруг очень понравилась. =) Ниссан крут.

Where can I buy body pars for my s12? :, (

I haven't seen an actual unicorn. Years back a coworker of mine had a car like this, but it had the V6 from the Nissan Z instead of 2.0 turbo. I don't think the 2.0 turbo made it to the States.

Japan's best kept secret, the S12

I think the s12 must be more common in aus than in Japan. I've only seen two (in QLD) so I'm unsure, but they were drift cars so they mustn't be that rare here. I've never seen a clean (daily/resto/restod) r31 skyline like I've seen in a few of your videos. All the r31s I've seen are just drift missiles, which is unfortunate because they scrub really well.

I haven't seen: this car. Mainly because I live in the states.

I have a s12 rx

datsun bluebird type 16!

More trucks please. Preferably Nissan/Datsun.

Any n12s of n12turbos

QOTD: April is the 50th anniversary of the Mustang. Let's see some fords Dan.

I've never seen an s12 lol

qotd: never seen a mitsubishi starion on the road. i seen one in a scrap yard and it had basically been gutted.
