In this Larry Chen video, we dive into the world of automotive creativity with Jude's remarkable Datsun wagon. Sporting a potent KA motor, this machine is a testament to bespoke modifications and Kaido Racer influences. Larry uncovers the backstory of this unique build, starting from its humble beginnings in 2007 with a pristine interior but a lackluster exterior that demanded attention. Over the years, the wagon underwent a remarkable transformation, featuring custom bodywork, over fenders, and a striking olive green paint job that ties the whole look together.

The Kaido Racer-inspired elements on Jude's Datsun wagon are a sight to behold, from the functional oil cooler setup to the BR style lip and the aggressive Work Equips wheels. Inside, the car boasts Speed Hut gauges and a special driver's seat with a nostalgic connection to the "Fugu Z," adding a personal touch to the interior. Larry also delves into his collaboration with Kaido House Garage on Mini GT diecast models, showcasing extreme versions of iconic cars with meticulous attention to detail that captures the essence of automotive tuning in a unique and artistic manner.

As Larry explores the intricacies of the diecast models, from carbon fiber accents to detailed engine bays, the craftsmanship and passion behind each miniature replica shine through. The collaboration with Mini GT has yielded over 120 unique releases, each a collector's dream and a testament to the growing community dedicated to these finely crafted models. Finally, Larry sits down with Kenji to discuss the heart of Jude's Datsun wagon, the KA motor. Originally found in cars like the 240SX, this 2.4L inline-4 powerplant finds a new home in the Datsun, showcasing its versatility and performance capabilities in a unique and unexpected build.
