Just got my Grand Hiace 1999 1kz-te full time 4wd! You have no idea how many times I watched your videos already haha they're really useful, thanks for making them, Nathan!

[@serbianknights4988]

I am in Sydney I own kzk100g and kzh106w. Great cars I love them

[@diyko]

Just bought a1996 hiace With a manual tansmission thanks for this video.

[@mattj1783]

Nice! When do you get it? I just won bid on a 96 super G.

[@diyko]

@@mattj1783 i started driving it last aug. 1..really love it..powerful engine and smooth ride.

[@em-niwa461]

great video Nathan, I've just gotten my own 2004 model and it's super informative to see how I SHOULD be treating it!

[@nathansharma87]

Hey, I don't do any monthly maintenance besides checking the tyre pressures. I've just uploaded a long boring video covering my usual maintenance regime.

[@joannemckenzie9171]

Love the way you upgraded. Would love mine done too

[@mazenjamal8264]

It is still used in my country as a public transportation It is a great and reliable van

Nice video brother!! Smooth as always 👌

About time right. 20 years of trying to film something?!

[@jamesmacmccann]

Hi Nathan, great video matey! I am from Hobart, TAS and have a 1996 version - Basically the same as yours but mine's the brown over silver colour and I don't have rear seats.. It's also not as in good condition as yours asthetically.. It is mechanically good however! Nice to see another passionate Hiace SC owner :-) Do you see many cruising around Perth/WA? I see literally only a few every now and then in Hobart! The only annoying thing I find about driving them on tracks is that they bottom out in the middle a bit if there's tyre ruts on both sides but hey, still very capable! I ujse Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts on mine so a similar tyre to yours by the looks of it. Cheers, James

[@nathansharma87]

There's a couple I've seen in Perth mostly older models. Yet to see a 96 onwards. Thanks for watching 😄

[@campus206]

Congratulations on your van, I love these models from the 90-2000, unfortunately there are few available, I want to buy an imported one in Japan, I like these old models, the more modern models are not so pretty, and they are too square

[@nathansharma87]

I know what you mean, I really love my car, so glad I got it. Yeah these ended production in 2004, nothing like it since.

[@JunaidJDM]

Love it 😍 Hiace and Chaser my dream garage lol

One goes fast, the other goes anywhere...I like it 👌

Wow. I have a same car 2003 model. You have a good video i subcribe. From Philippines

[@davidbailey6230]

Great video. Nicely done.

[@LukeSMK]

I concur

[@nathansharma87]

Thanks David, appreciate your time.

[@dewminmadukapriya6142]

Wow its nice work❤️ unfortunately we cant buy these type van nowadays because of government rules 😟 if i can i'll buy without any doubt

[@nathansharma87]

Yes it's a shame. I think 90s Japanese cars will become the most collectable/ desirable usable modern classics of all time.

[@rbruce63]

Outstanding review and I envy that you drive on the right hand of the street. So I couldn’t import one to Costa Rica. However, I am rebuilding mine -a neglected 1999 Van with 450,000 Km- to its former glory. It’s been almost impossible to source rear lid mirror, albeit in Australia but the vendor will not ship to the USA. I am probably going to buy one for the Coaster and adapt it. Also, I wish mine the LH112 version had a tachometer, but I cannot find a compatible one over eBay UK for the 2L Diesel engine. Perhaps you can point me in he correct direction!

[@SteveTheBeav]

Hey Nathan, love the videos man they’ve been a great resource as I look into importing a hiace super custom limited... do you know what grade your car received at auction?

[@nathansharma87]

No sorry not sure of its grade.

[@steveseattle140]

Hi NS87, I'm ready to replace my water temperature sender. Does a lot of coolant gush out when you remove the sender? I see you put towels underneath and topped it off afterwards?

[@nathansharma87]

Hey mate. If the cars been running and cooling system pressurized it will dump about half a quart. Nothing to worry about. Just top it off, cap on and go. Remember to use a deep socket so you don't damage the electrical connection on the sender.

[@mohammadakmalchemid485]

Nice Hiace! Can you share the size of the wheel and tires? Thanks.

[@nathansharma87]

Hi Mohammed The wheels are 17" Mitoros Moto Cooper Discoverer ATT 225/60R17 There's a new video on cleaning them and I'm selling the 17s off.

[@mohammadakmalchemid485]

@@nathansharma87 Thank you very much. Another question - what did you used for the fabric protection? Looks like some spray material..

[@nathansharma87]

It's called Scotchgard Fabric and Upholstery Protector. About $10 a can from a hardware store. Repels water, spills and wear and tear as well as UV damage.

[@Sorefootjordan]

What is that box under the last row of seats? I've seen the Hiaces with and w/o that box.

[@nathansharma87]

Just a storage compartment you can access from the back or the passenger area. It was only on Limited models and my back seats are from a Limited.

[@righthand7965]

What are one the rough costs to import one? Thanks, what a beauty currently driving Pajero NL but I miss my Elgrand E50 Homy which suffered the fuel pump failure 😭⛽

[@righthand7965]

No cruise control is a bit of a deal breaker though 😜

[@nathansharma87]

Hi, thanks for reaching out. I got mine imported, registered, complianced etc all for one price by custom coaster conversions. If you search custom coaster conversions on gumtree or Google you should see their current stock or stock on its way to Australia. Some have cruise control, was an option. Mine just doesn't have it.

[@righthand7965]

@@nathansharma87 they look bit too pricey my end being in QLD 20k plus 🙄😜

[@nathansharma87]

@@righthand7965 they were about 14k when I got mine. Since then everything's gone up. Plus there's a shortage of good ones now since the US is snapping them up. I've heard from Japanese people in Japan who can't get any since exporters buy them up and ship them out. I have heard that Hugo who owns custom coaster conversions can find stuff per someone's budget so might w Be worthwhile contacting him.

Yep, while I was in there. But good catch!

soo the pink liquid you gain from the system is not the same stuff you washed with

No the pink liquid going into the engine bay or radiator is coolant/ antifreeze. The car wash is not the same
