In addition to the attractive Japanese retro pickup-style appearance, Datsun 620 S is equipped with the legendary engine from Nissan, namely SR20. However, the heart of the runway is within standard specifications and will be changed in the future.
"If we use the engine, we use SR20. However, it is still standard. The engine has not been completely changed and will be processed again," added Andi.
The modification is even more complete with the embedding of the "GTR" emblem in the front goal, which makes it like the third generation Nissan Skyline GTR or C10. Keep in mind, Datsun is a subsidiary of Nissan.
"Datsun 620 S in Japan does look like Skyline in the 70s. Therefore, we use the GT-R logo so that it looks like that model," concluded Andi.
