Hi Kevin - are there parts you recommend keeping on hand to ensure the least amount downtime for a Sambar truck? I'm thinking I should keep a large inventory of stuff on hand so I don't have to wait weeks for stuff to come over from Japan
If you manage to get your hands on another working map sensor, some of us may be able to figure out with that sensor a replacement part. With that system being basically an OBD1 style I would say the sensor output will be analog. What we need to know is the pressure range and what voltage is the output. Will be helpful to have the wiring diagram to go with the sensor.
Quick question, my sambar is running, then check engine light comes on an van shuts off, an I can start it back up, but I will have to keep my foot on the pedal. Any info helps. Great videos, brotha.💪
Is there a way to change the rectangular headlights on a Sambar truck to be round? I saw a couple of forums but they only gave info on the headlights they bought and didn't give any info for how they keep the headlights in place and my Sambar doesn't have round headlight covers so I'm super confused as to what they did or used to install them.. the headlights they recommended and used don't fit in the headlight space and I'd rather not cut the metal if I can help it..
they would have to be pretty small round ones unless you got the classic front end swap. those had round lights but also new corner panels and front so they would fit.
Excellent bro.....preparing for when mine comes. Definitely going 5 in tach , looks awesome, especially in the "small" Kei trucks/ vans. Your a big help dude , much needed and appreciated. Keep it up ( she said) 🤙👍🇺🇸
You can simply cut the muffler off and weld a pipe to the resonator, sounds pretty good. Take the heater hoses and connect them to each other. Cheap and effective.
Were you able to get it to turn on with ignition or do you manually have to press it on. I wired mine up twice without being able to trigger on with ignition. I’m thinking it’s a coding issue in the radio.
no, that is just how that radio is. all my european radios do the same. they only turn on when you turn it on and that is a euro style radio :) i just assumed it would turn on but it is not suppose to lol
I really enjoy watching your videos. Your videos are awesome. I live in Japan and have a 2001 TV2 sambar. It is almost the time to be able to import latest model sambar which is TV,TW.Are you planning to buy those types sambar?
probably not! i do not like the TT or TV personally. They ruined the sambar with the body change. just looks like they added some metal to the front with no thought :(
That's hilarious that he named the ducks what he did. My mom's name is gheorghina and my aunt's name is galina, hahahah😂. At least if i heard him correctly.
Metanol injection, sir. Pretty much windshield washer fluid. Get the cheapest possible as it will have less additive concentrated is best then dilute to recommend level. (for injection system that is.)
Im looking for a wiring diagram for a 1995 subaru sambar. Purchased one for 1300$ locally and its been through some rough times. Missing ignition, looks like all the fuses were taken out. just trying to figure out where to start on it.
Howdy, I have a Hijet but plan on switching to a Sambar soon, you say to lift a Sambar, you can increase your 4 coil spring size which I assume provides ground Clarence? Other lift discussions talk about body mount lifting and extending steering shaft, etc, however that is all alot of work. Can u confirm the coil spring lifting?

With the new uplift reds upfront and stocks in the rear, I ended up with a Carolina squat. I want to put the new uplifts springs in the rear, but neither of the two different spring compressors I have will work. Anyone found a set that will work for installing taller springs in the rear?
I have a minicab, the seats get a little warm but the cab doesnt get hot. The worst part about working on it is the spark plugs. The worst part about the engine is the clutch fan and halogens, fan needs to be replaced with electric and halogens with LED and it really wakes it up. I never take it above 4k or leave town with it. Some people who buy kei cars and drive them balls to the wall all the time and everywhere are brave lol
That filter looks like it is a cleanable filter. Pull it every few months or every oil change and clean it in nice clean water and maybe mild soap like dawn.
painted the bedside. I didn't want to deal with those lol. but i would just either plastidip them or leave em white or wrap them and hope it holds, but it probably won't if you use em later on
