Welcome to my retro vans!
Follow me as I buy and repair classic vans in Japan before shipping them out to the US.
On this channel, I will cover old-school Japanese vans from the 80's and 90's. These JDM (Japan Domestic Market) vehicles are rare and so much fun to drive! Most of the vintage cars I review will be 4WD, but I'll make sure to include some special 2WD beauties as well.
Feel free to hit me up with any questions you may have about these vans, including how I buy them from the Japan auction all the way through to the export and import process.
You can check out all the cars I export at Javan Imports.

Old-School HiAce Camper Roadtrip through Japan!!
Yes,same opinion here...gear should be on the centre,looks better. I didn't like gear at steering, front looks cool,but rear looks boring.
Hi where did you get that bar to align the axle from?
OK DID U SAY 10,000 TO LIFT IT UP. MINDBLOWN
Not just for the lift, but all the other stuff too!
@@MyRetroVans ah hah..thanks for the clarification. Dreams repaired. :P
FYI my boot auto locks when rear windown is fully raised.
Самый лучший микрик....из лучших...😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊испытано и проверенно...😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Awesome truck! How tall are you bro?
Хороший бусик. Несколько у них минусиков есть. Это низкое расположение кпп, бак, раздатки. Дизель мотор очень беспокойный. Боится перегрева, слабая головка гбц.
tipping over made easy
Interesting van, too bad about the childish japanese language interruptions
these are the biggest mongrel of a car to put radiators in
Do you have any repop side decals available for this van? Mine are all faded!
My Van, you've reviewed it on youtube! May I ask where this was filmed?
What do you mean by " expensive to maintain " ?
Did you install intercooler?
Where the f**k is he 😞
Really love this Beast ❤it's like always happy and willinhlg to tackle any terrain
I want one so bad
Why is your reviews always on Automatic transmission?
Because nice condition MT's are rare and difficult to procure!
Awesome van! I got a '94 2WD Townace with the same engine and in a light brown and grey color way. I was wondering where you source your parts from? I've had some trouble finding break pads, belts, etc..
But if they give you benz and townace you choose townace
Toyota surf, how to open the hood lock
@2:15 Like the English saying goes, "Shut up. You ain't my mother!" 😘🤗
Can anyone tell me if the TURBO diesel engine was available in the early hiace with locking front hubs??
If we're talking about the HiAce 100 series, I don't believe so since the 1KZ-TE x 4WD combo was offered only as full-time 4WD (AWD).
Do you still have the LC Fire Truck?
Loooong gone!
😍😍😍
This video convinced me to choose an L400 over the L300-best decision ever thank you so much! Great review, I love my Delica
I had one of these and it was great
The Granvia is what the European version of he Hiace was based on. They look almost identical but the Hiace was only ever sold as a utility vehicle and never received any of the fancy stuff you get in the Granvia
Its cool!!
My Toyota Hiace (96 with the 2L engine) does 400-1200km each week... all she needs is about 200ml of oil after 2000km (because i always keep the oil level at max and abit above for the valves. And i drive it hard to make sure it gets 200ml fresh oil every 2000km... Oilchange 8000km. Golden engines!
Does anyone on here have experience or able to point me in the right direction to research conversion on a dyna firetruck please? Cheers
It looks like a shrunken previa
How much delica monster
Bro Can I have your email please I like your channel
Thanks! You can find it in my profile!
Estima Emina 2.2 diesel
i have this version of the surf and IMO its the best. same colour too
Best desing eever
Pajero/Monteiro base car!
What's the highest mileage these go to? 300k miles?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really want one, trying to find one in the US
Nice review, we have historically sold the StarWagons here in the states, but have quickly fallen in love with these. The LWB model is a huge plus too!
Looking at buying one of these it’s a 96 estima Lucida 56k miles, I’m in the US and wondered how I’d be able to get a new timing belt and water pump when it needs to be changed
Those can be found readily online, especially if you're looking at the gas engines which were available in the US Previas. Easiest way to do this is to find the part number then search for it online. Good luck and contact me if you're still in the market for one!
@@MyRetroVans I’m still in the market I haven’t bought the one I’m looking at yet the one I’m looking at is actually a diesel version that’s what has me worried about parts
Where did you get this done? It really is a head-turner! I love to have mine made like this! :)
Im currently in kanagawa prefacture. Just bought a Delica. Do you know any machanics around that area?
Hey man, whats the paint code for this?
COLOR: 29X / TRIM: YA11
Btw this isn’t the limited edition this is the living saloon ex
It's a Living Saloon EX Ltd. Edition. Not to be confused with the Super Custom Ltd!! So many grades it's confusing right!?
@@MyRetroVans it’s really not. You can tell by the chairs and there’s only 4 trims Super custom Super custom limited Super custom living saloon ex Super custom G
@@chevyls7189 Thanks for your input! This is a "Tokubetsu/Gentei-sha" which I translate as "limited edition". Pls reference the below! Good luck (^^) www.goo-net.com/catalog/TOYOTA/HIACE_WAGON/1008846/
I want one Second thoughts I want TWO!
I used one of these to transport a giraffe across the uk The moon roof was perfect for its head to stick out
Best comment I’ve ever seen on TH-cam
Wasn't expecting to read that on this video. Sounds like a cool story though
Does the car have locking differentials?
