An expensive watch?? Tell that to my door hinges on my 77' haha.. but thanks for the cool vid!
That's really impressive graphics for that year. I am truly impressed.
Nissan was still using the Datsun name in 1986?
Not officially
By 1986 Nissan had killed off the "Datsun" name, and were known globally as Nissan. However, the process had started in 1983/1984 and many people still associated Nissan with Datsun, and Z cars with Datsun. For a while after the death of the Datsun name, Nissan continued to reference Datsun because thats what people were familiar with. Until 1983, all Nissans were sold under the name "datsun" in the US. And so many people perceived Nissan as something new.
Actually, 1984 was the last year of "Datsun", my fathers '84 300zx was labeled DATSUN and NISSAN, but '85s are not. And Our '79 280ZX says "Datsun 280ZX by Nissan" (by Nissan is in small letters under 280ZX)
