I often get asked how I get parts for such an obscure car, here's what I've figured out using Megazip, Yahoo Auctions Japan, and Buyee. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks, I'm in Oki for the past 6 months and couldn't figure out the new parts online situation, there's plenty of physical stores to pickup the basics but anything past spark plugs and you'll either waiting for them or hunting through the various junk yards. Been hesitant with yahoo bids, but ill give them a try. I got a 95 JA11 Jimny. Now need to figure out the shackle and leaf springs bushings for this!

Hi Brandin. I am in Winnipeg as well. I've been looking for a Samurai/Jimny. Would love to talk Jimnys when you have some time.

Haha, I know what you mean. Even when there's an hour it seems by the time you actually get in a rhythm the hour is over.

Hey Brandin! Fellow Winnipegger here with a 2006 Jimny Wild Wild 4x4 standard. Love it. However, with the weather getting cooler, I’m finding my first getting harder to shift into. I read that changing the gear oil to a cold weather synthetic can help greatly. May I ask what oil you use? Also, do you happen to have an shimmy/Shake after you switched out tires? I do at about 75km/h and read it may be due to the preload on the birfields. I understand there is some dampeners that might help. Would love to chat Jimny with a fellow Manitoban as it is a bit of a rarity here. -Cheers!

Oh nice, that's a great vehicle, I'm sure you'll love it! Do you have the 660cc K6A as well? I never noticed any significant stiffness getting into gear in the winter, but I'm sure changing to full synthetic gear oil couldn't hurt. I haven't changed my gear or diff oil. I do run full synthetic engine oil. Also never had any issues after switching the tires, hopefully you can get that sorted!

Hi, thanks for the video , I am in the process to get into a jimmy and this video is very helpful, I would like to ask you if you know where to get that roof rack? Thanks
@brandinstoesz20282 жыл бұрын
Hey thanks for watching! I believe the roof rack is a factory option on the JDM Jimny. Many Jimnys of this vintage seem to have the same rack equipped. It was definitely on my list of must have equipment when I was shopping for mine.

Great videos Brandin! What a coincidence I find a fellow Winnipegger as I'm doing research on a potential Jimny purchase. Was the Jimny a pain to insure with MPI/getting it safetied?
@brandinstoesz20283 жыл бұрын
Haha, seems like there are several people around here interested in getting a Jimny! What model /year are you looking at? Getting it safetied wasn't difficult, though you may have to obtain some LHD headlights. MPI didn't have a problem insuring it.

@@brandinstoesz2028 Ok that's good to know! Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure yet. Likely a later 90s Jimny Wide. the one with the 1.3. Still researching. Did you go through Velocity Cars or B Pro Auto?

@@markogajic6451 Nice, the updated body style has much more aftermarket support. Unfortunately the model I bought is the least supported model, I should have either gone older or newer! I drove the 1.3 in South Africa, great car!
