- Full review of this 1995 Toyota Estima Emina. This one is diesel powered, full-time 4wd, and has the dual moonroofs. And yes, it's super very strange!!
This oddity was sold only in Japan, and is the smaller version to the Estima (AKA Previa & Tarago).
Watch me do a thorough walkaround and then take it out for a spin around Yokohama, Japan!!

What an underrated channel!
ThAnK YoU!!
Still my favorite design. I love the spaceship inspiration of the Estima.
Such a gorgeous colour. Most 90s Japanese cars have aged beautifully.
I need.ome
nice to see your new posts :)
Your hat matches the van perfectly.
Possibly looking to buy one of these. Seems reliable and a fun conversation starter. I guess the only drawbacks I keep coming across are price and parts.
I really enjoy your channel reviews here in Australia. I too have had vans for their practicality. From 1994 Delica to 2002 Elgrand and now 2013 Hiace. Can you please do a retro van review on the Nissan Elgrand E50 or E51?
Wow this is an interesting one! I like it too
Love it, we have had a98 jdm import 2tz-fe (non supercharged petrol engine) 4wd auto for about 4 years now as the daily car. Its absolutely fantastic compared to equivalent euro mpv's (live in the UK) and for the price I paid (450gbp) its fantastic. I'm looking to upgrade to a mk3 estima hybrid soon. (an idea for another video?)
Iv recently acquired a 93 diesel for free that is having a turbo k24 Honda engine swap, it going where the 3rd row of seats are and should be crazy fast once finished. I will be making a few videos of the conversion and posting them on my channel at some point
I actually just bought a full-sized Estima w/ the 2TZ-FE! Looking forward to taking it out (^^)
My Van, you've reviewed it on youtube! May I ask where this was filmed?
@2:15 Like the English saying goes, "Shut up. You ain't my mother!" 😘🤗
i have one here in philippines, a Lucida X, turbo diesel AWD model, and still in good shape, engine is previously been total overhauled to make it back as good as before, and the same color as that one in your video too
planning to buy one sir dito din po ako lucban quezon but the thing thats holding me back is the engine is under youre ass parang ang hustle naman pag long drive iinit pwet mo dun im planning to buy one is it reliable tho? will it last for more than 3 years?
@@jameshawkins8966 ok naman sir, di naman sya tumatagos ang init di rin ramdam na nandun ang makina and the good thing is nasa center ang ballance ng sasakyan, kahit mabilis ako at biglang liliko di sya dumudulas at kapit na kapit sa kalsada dahil yung bigat nya ay nasa gitna mismo lalo na at mabigat din ang matic awd transmision. Yung init ay kung meron man ay mangagalling sa ilalim ng dashboard kaya may ilang maliit na butas dun dahil sa wiring ng aircon, pero baka sa kin lang kasi nag rewiring ako, kung meron man ang mabili mo napakafali lang naman saraduhan fahil maliit na butas lang pero may tumatagos na init dun mula sa buga ng radiator fan kaya magandang matapalan din kahit maliit lang.
@@jameshawkins8966 sa reliability naman sir is ok na ok po, 3c turbo ang makina which is subok na sa mga pangpasafang fx (2c,3c engine). Ang kinakailangan mo lang tingnan o i check sir is yung radiator, yung sa kin is pina linis ko na at di ko na ginagamitan ng tubig nawasa dahil naranasan ko ang magbara ang mga butas ng radiator, saka make sure na mai bleed ang hangin sa cooling system dahil nagiging source ng mainit na makina bukod dun pag nagawa mo na yun sa nabili mong sasakyan is ok na basta ok din ang makina.
@@Breakfreevinn sadly its already sold sayang 65k lang sir naunahan ako pero ok lang
@@jameshawkins8966 oh sayang nga sir murang mura na yun, pwde mo din sir i consider ang mitsubishi delica kung di ka naman concern sa bilis ng sasakyan, pero 4wd din sya, pwede din town ace may diesel na 4wd din na klase nun. Mga van na 4wd kasi ang mas maganda para sa pamilya pwede kang dalhin kahit saan.
Are the spare parts still available for Emina 1993 with 3C-T engine type? We’ve plan to find one and here in Indonesia this car not often we see on the road
This channel is so cool. The best part is being able to buy most of these vans here in the Philippines lol Which engine is more reliable in your opinion? The ones in these Toyotas or the 4d56/4m40 in the Delicas?
Thanks so much! Case by case, but Toyota one's are typically much more reliable. However, the Mitsubishi one's are more engaging!
wow amazing car big.
Hi. Do you know where the vin/chassis number of this vehicle is located?
Bro can i buy toyota emina from you???
Please review the Nissan Elgrand E50
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
I actually just bought a 1993 3C-te powered estima. It unfortunately sprung an oil leak a couple days after buying it. Engine was fine for the 300 mile drive home, and had no oil leaking after the drive. The next day I ran some errands and it was still fine. Went to go title/register it and the oil level light came on. Found a leak. Looks like it’s coming from the valve cover gasket but there’s oil all over the bottom of the engine now. I’m more worried that it’s the oil pump seal/gasket because that’s out of my wheelhouse and going to cost a lot to have a mechanic fix/replace.
What sort of maintenance was done beforehand? For instance, has the timing belt, thermostat, water pump been newly replaced? Along with those comes relevant gaskets, filters, seals, etc. An oil leak immediately after purchase could reflect a poor seller/mechanic rather than poor vehicle.
@@MyRetroVans according to the seller, he bought it, realized it wasn’t big enough for his needs, and let it sit for 6 months. The only thing he has reported changing was the timing belt/oil/oil filter.
Oddly enough the leak has stopped and the light has gone off. I’ve never seen an oil leak magically stop like this before. I’m pretty sure it’s coming from the valve cover gasket, that’s where most of the oil looks like it’s coming from.
Im going to buy a gasket/seal kit and have everything replaced soon. Im also going to have the oil pump replaced. Luckily, my local Toyota dealership here in Texas actually stocks oil filters and a few other odds/ends for this vehicle.
@@MyRetroVans I’m sure they didn’t do all that much to it. They bought it, realized it was too small and sold it at a loss. I’ve been driving it around for the past couple of days no with no leaks or any issues whatsoever. I wonder if it’s possible that the lack of use caused the seals to construct from the lack of heat/lubrication. It hasn’t leaked a drop. I’m taking it in to the dealership I deliver parts for and having their import guy look at it just to be safe.
Either way I’m in love with this van. Super fun to drive.
Im considering buying my coworkers Estima for my mail route. The only thing I'm worried about is getting parts for it in Wisconsin. Anyone have any idea if parts are hard to get in the US? Seems like nowadays especially could be a problem... Seem like sweet vans though
Most parts for the estima are available, but it may take time for shipping if you get them from overseas. I've recently exported a few gas engine ones which share the same engine (2TZ-FZE) as the US sold Previa. This makes parts sourcing easier, though you lose the gas mileage benefit.
Which is more reliable for the long run? This lucida? Or lite ace? Or town ace? Or master ace?
It depends on the generation and engine! TownAce, LiteAce, and MasterAce are all similar vehicles.
Third generation Estima could be reincarnated into an EV.
The mark 2 version know as estima areas, is a very practical vehicle compared to the mk1. Extremely roomy. The engines are a 2zafe, and very economical ( if looked after).
Cuanto está el precio
Estima Emina 2.2 diesel
How much
Sorry, sold a long time ago!!
Cuanto el precio
Already sold!
Every one of these I know about end up with a cracked cylinder head they are renown for it
Yes, and it’s completely preventable w/ an EGR block off + gauge installation💪
@@MyRetroVans they are history I got myself a 1994 lite ace gives me no problems at all I would never touch another Lucida with a barge pole
@@MyRetroVans tell me more about this block off thing.. I just bought this car, 1994 estima lucida 2.2 diesel, I love it and am learning it still, and hoping to make it last many years. It's done 260k but seems in good shape with no rust. But it sounds like I need to do the modification you describe
