lol glad i could point out the dipstick for you then! watch the other videos and see some fun secrets in the vans :)

So glad you found it too and found it helpful!

Thanks for the info!

glad they helped you out!!

talk about a quirk in design...and i put a brand new battery, boxed and waiting under the passenger seat ( for some trucker models..)

thanks for the support man! glad you clicked the link lol. definitely get yourself a mini truck. these things are the best for sure!

Right on!

Heck ya!! Congrats! If you need any help just let me know!

I passed in BC without any of that. I did need dtrl's.

do they have the pencil point terminals?

@@OhKeiGarage No but either JIS battery post adapters (13 and some change ) or change you cable ends to standard ends also cheap.

under the dash in the middle!

actually i kind of did. i showed and talked about it, pretty straight forward process and i show where the screw is. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqyUlMioyp7SdWg.html

@@OhKeiGarage Thanks I'll give it a watch.

no, ipunkz header. he sells them mostly on facebook in the kei car groups :)

thats exciting! customs was easy, i made a video on the importing process, you should check it out :) mainly just show them paper work

@@OhKeiGarage Ill check it out, thanks a lot.

K&N Vent Air Filter/Breather:... www.amazon.com/dp/B009WFRTH6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share here it is!

@@OhKeiGarage I have a 1997 Sambar heading my way, it is supercharged and the pictures I received show two ports on the valve cover. Do they make a Red Top cover with two ports? Mahalo!

@@thecontractordude2687 they indeed do have two port Red Tops

it's off a 6th gen sambar van, chopped. made a whole video on it. check it out on my channel if you wanna do the same!

Oh man, that's a tough one. I just moved out of cali like 9 months ago to Washington for a lot of reasons and this was definitely one of them... you may be able to register it as an off road vehicle or like a UTV or golf cart since it may be older than the smog laws in cali. PRE OBD. i would try and register it to a friend or family out of state and just have them forward mail to you. plates, registration, BUT if you get some cop who spots you in an out of state vehicle everyday, they will write a fix it ticket since you can only have an out of state vehicle for a certain period of time. so that would only work so long till the state caught on. i would definitely start with seeing what the rules are on registering it for off road use or like a golf cart. i wouldn't be driving it on the freeways in cali anyways. too many idiots and they'd be trying to run you off the road since these little trucks aren't designed to drive over 55 mph for long periods of time. good luck!

if you're green, get the subaru green coolant, can't go wrong with oe fluids. pick up a gallon on amazon or ebay, but make sure it's green, not blue.

so different years have the egr valves, mine did not, but i believe you could just plug the vacuum line running to the diaphragm, ive seen it before, then just remove it all. i think its just an emissions thing. not performance

@@OhKeiGarage ah perfect, didn't realize it as the egr valve. I'll definitely just delete it.

Removed! I honestly don’t like it. Truck looks cleaner without it. I have it sitting in my shed tho in case I need it. Doesn’t go with the lowered clean look I was going for

@@OhKeiGarage fair, I had mine powder coated gloss black to match my rims. It really sets it off.

could have a leak somewhere on the hoses causing some issues but hard to say!

日本のガソリンはアメリカの企画に比べてオクタン価がとても低くなっています。日本でのハイオクはアメリカのレギュラーに近い。そのため、レギュラーで大丈夫でしょう。オクタン価を高めるようであれば、点火時期を少し早めるなど微細な調整が必要かもしれません。日本語で失礼いたしました。

Thats the rear heater, and no it shouldn't be on all the time. should be a switch on the center console behind the e brake

being from cali, i would say absolutely lol. honestly i dont know for sure. there might be some smog requirements that could be an issue. i hear people register them out of state and take them into cali. you may want to reach out to a dealer in cali who sells kei cars and see what they say!

service manual was from amazon. they sell the danko version there!

@@OhKeiGarage wow, thanks a lot for the response!

these are pre OBD, you won't find one lol. they only have connections for when you get a check engine. i believe the 99 and up are OBD.

its a kv4 and supercharged but I hear that they are the worst for being automatic instead of a manual so I was hoping if anyone knows a website where to look for transmissions for em.

It being supercharged you’re already 10 steps ahead of us in power but as far as the trans go, you may want to just get yourself a powder clutch before it goes out. You could do a manual swap but you will need a lot of parts. Basically a donor vehicle. I think Yokohama motors has some stuff for the autos

Yup,my dump truck Sambar is my favorite Kei.

LOL oh yeah, blinker fluid goes there!

in another video i made! check the channel :)

which ones?

very reliable. non interference motor, so the timing belt breaks, you're good. the others will require a rebuild if it breaks lol... easy to work on, easy to get parts for. i haven't had issues with them so i can't complain. honestly, i would recommend the Subaru as of now for sure.

@OhKeiGarage thanks for the quick response, I have a twin cam hijet van but looking to get back into a pickup. So I'll start looking into sambars now thanks brother. Love the work you've done on yours.

@@androdiehl6596 thanks man 🤙🏻 look for a supercharged Sambar then!

@OhKeiGarage I've found a few, allot of main bearings going out due to people beating the crap out of em. I'm good all motor with an exhaust and cold air lol

@@androdiehl6596 well there’s that. But honestly that can happen to any kei truck. They aren’t really designed for the driving we do in the US. People want to daily them on the freeways with carb’d vehicles, gas gets into the crank case and thins oil out and burns em up. If you daily on the freeway, you just have to bump up the oil change intervals. We think since they’re cars they can handle anything but in reality they can only handle what they were designed for 🤷🏼‍♂️

in the radiator, not the overflow right? you just wanna fill it till full and try to remove all the air.

@@OhKeiGarage the plastic tank next to the engine should tell me when its full right?

@@OhKeiGarage finally got her to the shop and they said i need new coolant hoses for the whole van and a new engine starter, they said i needed to supply the parts where should i look to buy them?

LOLOLOL

You do not understand how I need a vehicle to mount rooftop u-shaped Lockwood valveless pulsejet nozzles of hafnium alloy so I can mount on inside rear ceiling an x-ray machine powered from wires to electrical speakers for quantum nucleonic propulsion. Podrog's Patent and 2004 issue of "Popular Mechanics" on such an alternate energy source.. I already have had peer review for my MIT published articles edited by Dr. Mitchell Swartz and have given by invite only MIT presentations so I need one test vehicle.

??? how the heck did you know that?? lolol. ya me and my brother have crooked pinkies and some where down the line came from scotland. what's even more random, my girlfriend has crooked pinkies and i thought it was just our family lol...

@@OhKeiGarage I’m 1/2 Scottish, so that’s why I’ve got the crooked pinky’s. My grandma and grandpa were full Scottish. My grandma was from the Jackson clan and their pinky’s are straight. My grandpa was from the Renfro clan and all of their pinky’s are crooked. There’s a Renfroshire in Scotland and a Renfro county. My grandparents have always lived in the USA, but their grandparents came from Scotland. Another interesting fact… the Scottish people are known to be frugal so during times of war, the soldiers would go to battle in the nude. This was for a reasons. 1, Their clothes wouldn’t get torn in battle. 2, Their enemies didn’t want to kill a naked man.

Wonderful!

Just follow these simple steps 😆 check marketplace on the reg. People who want to sell a sambar, will price it to sell. You can pick a good one up for under 4-5k easy. You just gotta be looking for it. You’ll find one. If you want to import one, I can recommend a company, but it’s a looooooong wait, so it’s usually easier to find one imported already. And when you do, I can help get it fixed 😂🤙🏻
