Man, Jesse from breaking bad living his best life. Nice video , thanks!

[@NamelessCo]

Haha! Heard that one before. Thanks for the comment

[@keeganestes7059]

I will watch every l400 video you post, looking to buy one before the end of 2023. All your content is very helpful!

[@NamelessCo]

Appreciate that! Expect more Delica content in the future! More L3/L4 content is on the way. Currently in the process of undercoating my L300. Something every Delica owner should do, regardless of undercarriage condition.

[@bryceee3651]

Can't disagree there. I love these vans, my family used to have these years ago, and they are so fun to drive, I would keep them as long as I can, though it is the undercarriage that gets to me with the rust underneath unless it is well maintained once or more every year.

[@ricericebaby8837]

Love the content. The first generation D5 just become legal to import in Canada and I got one of the first in Canada, less road capability dreaded cvt but overall much easier to source and replace parts

[@crusherjones6809]

SUPER useful video. Thanks.

[@willofthemaker]

Delica is one of my dream cars. Spent a few years in asia and saw these all the time and wanted one so bad. Some day... anyways subscribed to keep learning. thanks for these videos!

[@NamelessCo]

They're truly a special rig. Grateful to exist in a time period where owning one is affordable and sustainable.

[@shanemedbery8199]

Well done video, great info for potential buyers. I have a L300 and love it. Cheers

[@NamelessCo]

Thanks Shane!! We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes these videos aren’t always super popular, but when it comes to the information side of things it really helps. Stay tuned for more Delica content.

[@PacificPilsener]

Thank you! Very helpful video :)

[@mickduffy]

Great presentation Flynn.

[@NamelessCo]

Cheers Mike!!

[@muumarlin1731]

Great content!

[@antonystarling]

Brilliant video , just subbed, I am in England and have a 2000 Chamonix Mont Blanc important from Japan. Really good pointers even for the two previous models. The rust is a silent killer ,mine was clean and a year later lots of surface rust, we salt the roads here in the winter so definitely check underneath. Apart from that the vehicles are so practical and great to drive. Keep up the great content.

[@haydnr01]

Im also in the UK just did a quote to see what it would be like and it came back at 8k :/, who are you insured with and how much is it?

[@treestrashandtinkering]

Need to derust my l300 express so keen to see your video for tips

[@CarlosRodriguez-oc6hw]

Great info! Keep up the dope ish.

[@thegoldenpath326]

Liked and subbed, super useful video. Thinking of an L400 diesel for a light adventure vehicle and daily, still have plenty of research to do before I make a decision.

[@NamelessCo]

I’ve been daily driving my L400 for the last 5 months and have pretty much zero complaints. Stay up on maintenance and they’re a dream to drive. Thanks for the support!

[@VanaConn]

I drove my last freightliner over the road tractor 650k miles in 3 yrs and never used any additives. Diesel engines especially with mechanical pumps last so long because the oil is in the fuel . Anti gel is only for really cold climates where is below freezing for extended periods . I think your wasting your money on snake oil. In Philly we have a delica dealer .I own subaru powered VW vans but have an itch for a delica but man I hate right hand drive

[@UncannySense]

Series 1 L400s have been implicated in the Takata airbag recall, Here in Australia it has been possible to get the issue fixed under warranty through Mitsubishi Australia...that being said the L400 is safer than the L300 leg crusher.

[@NamelessCo]

Thanks for the info! Will look into it

[@campfire8073]

Very useful information .Thank you very much !🙂👍

[@NamelessCo]

Glad it was helpful!

Se ven chéveres esas máquinas, gran video

[@mikesievers1482]

Man this is a blast from the past. We imported dozens of these in the late 90's through mid 2000's ,and still alot on the roads here in NZ. Although most are pretty well used now, with many doing over 400,000 km's, which is probably a good indicator to the kind of mileage you can expect You mentioned rising sun out of Canada in your video. I have checked them out over the year's and they seem extremely expensive considering how much they would have paid for them out of Japan. Yes, rust can be a problem in the delica's, and probably more so in the L300's. Upper and lower windshield pillars are probably the most common 'major' areas to look out for, and the most difficult and expensive to repair. The L300 4 cylinder gas engines always seem to have the dreaded cracked cast iron exhaust manifold issue. Which is usually remedied by replacing it with an aftermarket tube header type exhaust setup. The upside is improved performance and fuel economy, although it can increase interior cabin noise. The beauty of both the L3 and L4 variats, is if you want to fit LSD's or lockers they share the same running gear as the Pajero'/shogun models. So most drive train parts should be easily obtained, even in the United States. Nice informative video. Would be interesting to here back to compare current prices between the US and other countries. As a guide, back in around 2000 you could purchase an L400 with around 70,000 miles for about 2k -3k NZD (roughly $1900 Usd) out of Japan. Although as time has moved on, and probably due to the popularity of over landing around the world, it looks like prices are climbing.

[@NamelessCo]

Wow that’s very good information! The prices over here in North America are definitely starting to skyrocket, with “Van Life” becoming a popular trend, we are starting to see lots of people getting into the Delica market. We’re just car enthusiasts who love these vans for what they are and not necessarily into the whole “Van Life” culture that has taken the VW market by storm. That is wild that you were able to pay such low prices for these incredibly reliable 4X4 machines. It almost seems like the best place to start looking for Delica’s might be NZ or AUS. Japan most definitely knows the US and CAD market now and is starting to charge a lot more to import, then what they used to be going for. I’m curious to see where these vans are going in the future and what’s in store for aftermarket parts along with popularity in general. Thanks for the comment and stay tuned for the journey of the L3 and L4.

[@LexTNeville]

£4-18k in the UK

[@EpictheEpicest]

Delicas are amazing for what they were made for: a van small enough to navigate a bustling city while roomy enough for packages, and tough enough not to get stuck on rural deliveries. I've been wanting one for a while because of how narrow and easy to park (The L300 especially) is in a city in which every other car is a 20 foot SUV. It's actually a terrible car for overlanding here when people could easily get a full-on RV or pull a small trailer with a truck and be much more stable, off-road. And you won't find someone who can work on a Delica if you get stuck in the boondocks. But fuckin white collar idiots have to ruin everything. "$15-20k for a 30 y/o van that I'll have to put another $10-15k in mods for? And thousands to get parts from Japan when I inevitably break something trying to go rock crawling with it? Sign me up"

[@rowenaormenita9783]

Amazing info. I am no way knowledgeable on the mechanical side of things, but your video helped me understand more about what I needed to do and where to start. I was actually considering getting a mini van but when I thought about dirt and places like rivers, I definitely thought of 4x4's and Delica really caught my eye. I love the retro one and I wanna do more of a stealthy camping van and the retro rustic aesthetics so Im glad I found your video. Hope to see more helpful tips about it and I just subscribed so please shed some more light please. Btw im.not from America , (im from the Philippines). And though I wont be able to join your group, Im still gonna support your channel. Who knows, we might grow worldwide for all Delica lovers and those who wants to buy them in the future!! nuff said..Cheers!!

[@NamelessCo]

Thanks for the comment Rowena! We’re glad you learned a thing or two from the video. We will definitely be putting out more delica content in the near future. These vans are becoming very popular, so getting one now is only going to save you money on the future. The Philippines look like an awesome place to roam a Delica. Cheers, Nameless

[@rowenaormenita9783]

Yes!! Vanlife, Clamping, motovlogging is booming now in the Philippines. We are very warm and that we are the most hospitable people in the planet!! You, and everyone are more than welcome to visit 7,100 islands to explore. Please do visit us soon, Nameless do..and everyone on this channel. I'm definitely goanna get a delica once im back for good in the Philippines!!

[@NamelessCo]

@@rowenaormenita9783 I actually used to have a co worker from the Philippines. It looks beautiful there! Who knows maybe I’ll start checking Facebook marketplace for Delicas in the Philippines. It’ll give me a reason to visit!

[@rowenaormenita9783]

@@NamelessCo oh I look forward to that!! Im also trying to go on KZbin but im not very consistent die to work. Anyways, illegal look forward to more about your delica tips and hacks..Cheers

[@wildernessandme1744]

Hello, I am planning to buy my first Delica L300 where did you buy yours here in Ph? Thanks.

[@PistonShack]

Useful info Nameless Co! I like JDM Mitsubishi Delica and work on them. I would avoid local heavy off road beat up Delicas vehicles, which most likely will become a money pit or long term project. Also, stay away from random after market tune ups and mods, just get stock and build it for yourself. Cheers!

[@NamelessCo]

Completely agree about keeping them close to stock! If it ain’t broken don’t fix it. Staying away from sketchy parts from eBay is most definitely important. Thanks for the comment, looking forward to more of your L400 videos!! Cheers, NC

[@murfturf6382]

Where can I get a delica looked at and worked on in Ontario Canada Looking at a newer model like 2003 the delica has been my dream vehicle for quite a while. Thank you for all your information and insight

[@haileymsalmeri1071]

Hey thank you for the info! I’m looking into getting a 1996 L400 spacegear exceed. 2.4L 4 cylinder gasoline engine and a 4g64 motor. In this video you said do not get a L400 gasser and I’m just hoping to get your input when it comes to this engine and motor as far as gasoline. Any advice is appreciated, I’m not mechanically inclined at all 🙂

[@XsnipxrmainX]

I would love one

[@codustv1465]

Just flexin the land cruiser in the background...

[@Aqua.Tribal]

the 6g72 v6 engine in the L400's is almost indestructable. There are quite a few v6 Delica's in australia, and most people rate the v6 very highly. I has power for hills and towing but it could be better. you can upgrade to a 6g74 or 6g75 engine and get alot more power. The ONLY negative is the fuel economy.... its terrible.

[@NamelessCo]

Yeah eventually it would be nice to have more power, but the mpg is pretty awesome on the diesel if you don't drive it like a hooligan. Thanks for the comment. I have seen some pretty wild things with the 6g75/74 motors. If the early 2000s l400s were available for import, I'd be on one in a heartbeat.

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

L300 has 84 hp L400 has 125 ho or 140 hp after adding electronic for fuel pump control big difference 😊

[@totalglitch]

I found a space gear? Diesel 5 speed do these things last a long time? Meaning like 500,000 like Toyota?

[@mauwuang874]

Hi, I’m planning to get the l400 because of the cargo space much more better than estima, but is it reliable enough? I saw one l400 but is already stop running for few year. It’s been parked in the garage, I’m worried about the maintenance fee.

[@victorcreed8856]

I have an '05 gasser. All the research I've done suggested the 6g72 was a pretty good, reliable motor, and the diesel was only really worth it if you planned on adding a bunch of weight or camperizing it. Other than that, you're really just paying for "cool factor", which for me, wasn't worth the $10k premium.

[@drumist101]

What are your thoughts on the Hiace, Townace/Liteace, and Nissan caravan? How do they compare to delicas?

[@NamelessCo]

Love the Hiace!! Definitely a more put together van than the Mitsubishis, I just have a special place in my heart for them.

[@Aqua.Tribal]

Delica all the way. l400 is bigger then hiace etc

[@pholbaligod1230]

Could you please give me an idea what is the difference between the SPACE GEAR and the CHAMONIX MITSHUBISHI DELICA? Thank you...

[@dukeninja]

The L400 are generally called Space Gear. The Chamonix is a "winter ready" version with thicker ceiling insulation. Sometimes even a dual battery set-up.

[@NOMADSTHUNDER]

@@dukeninja that is what I own here in Michigan

[@jacobpavelich226]

Is that a bimmer 2002 in the garage?

[@mx6er93]

I spy a Chamonix 2002 to go with two Chamonix delicas! I'm hoping to soon add a Chamonix or Jasper Delica to go with my Chamonix 02 as well,. You in BC?

[@NamelessCo]

In WA now

[@kdizzystl]

Why aren't these imported from left hand drive countries? I have some mental block preventing me from driving a right hand drive, especially a stick.

[@RelatableWoofles]

Can you put an l400 diesel engine in the l300? It sounds like the l400 engine is better overall

[@NamelessCo]

I don’t think the 4WD system is the same in the L4 as the L3. Seems like it would be problematic, also due to the L4 being front engine whereas the L3 is “mid engine”. I bet someone has tried it or thought about it before.

[@mebaoer]

In California people normally drive 70MPH. Will L400 comfortably handle 70MPH on the highway?

[@NamelessCo]

it'll do 80mph but say goodbye to your MPG. Definitely tune it and you'll be chillin

[@KreatorOfDeath1985]

My l300 diesel hauls ass. I must have got a good one 😂

[@robertraffel6930]

Can you refer me to mechanics in Southern California for mechanical maintenance of Delicas or Hoaxes ?

[@NamelessCo]

Try checking the delica forum and see what your options are there. Hope that helps

[@2ride_along]

hey Manitoba?

[@AutoEnthusiastJC]

I’m not mechanically inclined. Anyone know a good place to buy a Delica that has already been restored?

[@NamelessCo]

Nomadic Van!! Pricey but they’re gone through. Check out some dealerships in the Portland Seattle area as well.

[@garrettmiklautz175]

where do u get parts in Canada?

[@NamelessCo]

CCA on Vancouver Island. Or Rising Sun in New West

[@willytone5059]

Im looking for one do you know if can we register it in california??

[@NamelessCo]

Highly unlikely, but possible if it is titled in another state before bringing into cali

[@ckm-mkc]

You can register the L300 in California - not easy, but doable. You will need to get it certified from Mitsubishi however. The L400, I doubt it.

L400 gassers blow up cos not maintained? If it's common it must be build quality. Can't see many people not maintaining them. Great video

[@NamelessCo]

Often times they get neglected by individuals who forget to service them. It’s not that they catastrophically blow up, but rather prematurely blow up due to lack of maintenance. That goes with any car for that matter. Delica’s just have a bit more maintenance than the regular USDM Van or truck.

[@matthewy7885]

@@NamelessCo Thanks for this video. Very helpful. I've read on forums that people prefer the L400 V6 because it is a smoother ride and less prone to overheating. What do you think? Is there any scenario where you would recommend the L400 V6 over the Diesel?

[@NamelessCo]

@@matthewy7885 For people who are using their vans in cities and using it on shorter trips, then I’d definitely recommend going the gasser route. However, from reliability I’d probably go diesel. But you can overheat a diesel if you are being negligent, and or are driving it in above average temps. Hope that helps!!

[@Aqua.Tribal]

they dont just blow up for lack of Maintenace. There is a lot of them in Australia and they are in many other Mitsubishi cars. It's a 6g72 v6 engine. they are virtually indestructible. Change spark plugs and leads and timing belt every 100,000kms... perfect the the lazy ones out there
