buhin ◊ 2009-10-25 03:19	The one on the right is VW Santana Japanese version, manufactured by Nissan under license of VW.
Ingo ◊ 2009-10-25 07:45	Great catch, buhin! dear admins: please list this car extra! It will be the first on IMCDB. Correctly it has to be listed at Nissan Santana, because it was sold -and assembled, too- under that name. btw.: is anyone around here interested in an original Nissan Santana, the probably best survivor of all? It still stands at my friend in Yokohama, because the guy, who wanted to buy it, is untraceable. -- Last edit: 2009-10-25 07:46:05
tonkatracker ◊ 2009-10-25 08:01	ingo how should it be listed? Nissan Santana as make? then what is the model. Or is Santana the model?
Ingo ◊ 2009-10-25 13:40	Nissan is the make, Santana the model.
antp ◊ 2009-10-25 20:04	... and so in the end this is not a Santana BeanBandit wrote I'm afraid there's a mistaken identity here. I just watched the scene from the DVD, and that car is not a Volkswagen of any kind, it is actually a HR30 Skyline saloon, like this one: /vehicle_49042-Nissan-Skyline-HR30-1983.html What may look like a round VW crest is actually an asahikage - crest of Japanese police. ingo wrote This is not nice - where shall be our informations about the Nissan Santana then? I was indeed a bit sceptic about the shape of the front lamps (Nissan hadn't changed anything optical except the back plate-holder), and if the Japanese police every had Santana's in use, but I was so happy, that finally there could be one at IMCDB. buhin wrote You are right. The grille does not look like Santana. Archive of the discussion made on the Santana page: buhin wrote I have driven this car in Japan in 1994. It looks almost the same as Shanghai VW Santana 1st gen. But I can tell you, the parts for the Japanese made and the Chinese made ones are not interchangeable, strange ! ingo wrote The parts of the facelifted 1985+ version are mainly identical, except the fact, that the Nissan Santana was always RHD and the Chinese one LHD. Later on, the Chinese VW Santana got more and more different parts (to compare with the VW Golf I and the ZA-made Citi Golf or the German VW T2b and the later Brazilian T2. Unique for the Nissan Santana was the engine of the top version, the Nissan Santana "Autobahn". It's the only car of the whole [32B]-range (Passat, Passat Variant, Santana, Quantum, Quantum Wagon), which got the 20 V-5-cylinder of the Audi 100/200 [Typ44]. buhin wrote Somebody tried to export used body panels from Japan to China for this Santana. When the parts arrived in China, they found out that all parts CANNOT be installed in Chinese made ones. That is real story. I was one of these traders in the industry. Engine can be used in Chinese made Santanas. We used to buy some of these engines from Japan and export to China. But we would not buy any body parts for this model since it will NOT fit at all (it is NOT related to LHD and RHD, just simply not fit). ingo wrote For what model-years? Sure, that they were for the same? No kidding: many parts of the Nissan Santana were made in Europe and were from the regular production, but indeed every single original part, mounted in that car, has the logo "Nissan VW Audi". ingo wrote P.S. Unfortunately my Outlook was crushing down some months ago, so the pictures are gone, but if anyone is interested, I can ask my Japanese friend, to send them again. As I wrote, he owns the probably best surviving Nissan Santana. buhin wrote Pretty sure, but don't know which model year exactly. If the body parts are interchageable, we would have bought lots of these parts from Japan since Santana was quite popular in China. We always avoid the body parts of this car. ingo wrote Are there still any parts on the Japanese market? The cars itself are nearly totally gone and crushed. Nowadays the most people didn't know any more, that the Nissan Santana ever had existed. Annother question (yes, I'm annoying always the people with "my" car ): you are dealing with spare parts of VW's? Do you know any surviving K 70 in Hong Kong? 331 were officially exported. Probably they are all gone, as I've heard once from a VW enthusiasts club of Hong Kong. Or exported. In 1998 I've met a guy in New Zealand, who owned a pre-HK-K 70. My Japanese friend told me, that he've seen in a Hong Kong-movie of the 70ies (a Jackie Chan movier or rather a wannabe-Jackie Chan-movie-fake), where for a second a K 70 was visible in the background. It was just a rumour, that it was in that movie, too: /movie_73541-Piedone-a-Hong-Kong.html I've watched it many time and haven't seen anything. buhin wrote K70 is NOT popular in Hong Kong at all. I think I have not seen any K70 in Hong Kong for at least 25 years ! VW Beetle was very popular until early 70s, then VW seemed like "dead" in HK market until late 90s. Starting from late 90s, there are more and more VW. Right now, VW Golf (espcially GTI version) is quite popular. Maybe you can contact VW owner club Hong Kong, and ask for K70. Here is the link. http://www.vwownerclub.org/forum/ The website is basically in Chinese but with English titles. I do think you can post in English and most people can understand.
