The aim was to create a modern “pike car”, the SETO

The SETO, which aims to be a ‘modern’ pike car, is based on the Cube and incorporates the design of the 410 Bluebird. The wing lines are also very particular and artistic. It seems to be a relatively orthodox customization of an old car taste, but the students’ particularity is evident in the headlights.

The headmaster and other teachers thought the halogen headlights looked good. The students, however,

“We want to build a modern pike car!　Halogen is so old-fashioned!”

They said, and adopted LED headlights. Instead of the rounded light pattern typical of the round eyes of old cars, they opted for a straight light pattern, which gave the car more of an impression of a person’s eyes. These headlights were diverted from those for motorbikes.

Well received by old car enthusiasts

This is actually the first time that Nissan Automobile Technical College has exhibited at Nostalgic 2 Days. Therefore, they were a little afraid of what kind of reaction they would receive from old car owners and fans ……. However, when they actually exhibited, they received a good impression.

“How are these fitted?”

“What parts are you using?”

They were also impressed that there were more specific questions than at other shows. They also received many positive reactions from old car owners. This can be said to be proof that the student’s unique sense of style was also recognized by real old car owners. It will be interesting to see what kind of customized cars they produce in the future.
