The Suzuki Jimny is every much a mainstay in the Suzuki truck line today, as it was 25 years ago when it was first launched. The durability and versatility of the Suzuki Jimny truck has been proven in many applications, from military use to high altitude off-roading. It has a cult following around world, where the many variations can be found with a large number of modifications. Hundreds of Jimnys are available from every generation weekly at the Japanese dealer auctions.
Like many Japanese manufacturers, Suzuki obtained one of their most famous models by acquiring another company. The Jimny started off as the Hope Star, and it was a small 2 cycle 359cc machine with a 4 speed Manual transmission and 4wd transfer case, putting out a modest 21hp. At the time Suzuki was looking to break into the jeep market and bought the rights to the Star from Hope Motor Company, their first step to becoming a leader in the market.
This first official Suzuki Jimny was born in 1970. The LJ10 featured the same engine as its predecessor but had a completely redesigned chassis and body. Suzuki added zip down canvas doors as another new feature. Several other changes took place in the 70s: A water-cooled 550cc engine, a wider chassis and a longer body to meet new kei standards, and solid doors. The SJ10 greatly improved the Jimny’s off road capabilities by increasing power under the hood while maintaining the light weight chassis from previous models. Suzuki also produced a larger 800cc 4 cylinder model for export which was very successful overseas.
The second generation Jimny, introduced in 1981, was completely redesigned with driver comfort in mind. The wheel base was expanded, suspension improved, cab size increased, AC was offered as an option, and the interior was designed to be more stylish and appealing to a larger customer base. During this period the Jimny 1000, which boasted a tough, 4 cylinder 1000cc engine that put out 52hp @ 5000rpm, was the truck that really brought the Jimny to the world. Several variations were produced: Half metal door convertible, full metal door type, hard top, and pick up. Suzuki also expanded production to India, Australia and North America where it was marketed as the Samurai.
In 1990, the kei regulations changed in Japan allowing for a larger body and engine. Suzuki introduced the new JA11 equipped with a the 3-cylinder 660cc, fuel-injected turbo F6A engine and intercooler. The F6A was quick, durable and popular engine and was used in many other Suzuki models throughout its second generation, including the Alto Works. Though the Jimny continued to be exported to the US as the Samurai, this engine never made it across the pond. Other changes to the JA11 included: steering improved with the use of universal joints, transfer case was relocated to the center floor area, and front disc brakes improved stopping power.
This particular Jimny is a Turbocharged, 5 speed, 4wd, full metal door model with AC. It has been completely repainted inside and out, and has a clean rust free undercarriage. It was sourced from USS Tokyo auction house, the heart of the JDM auction market. Our customer wanted his truck to be as stock as possible, but Jimnys with various mods can be found at auction or on dealer lots across Japan. The most common mods are lift kits, fender flares, winches and bumpers.
The Suzuki Jimny is as tough as a Landcruiser and quick like a Samurai (literally). They tend to hold their value better than any kei truck, from that time, and several are available in good condition daily from Japan’s used car market.

Awesome experience !!
Their service was extremely good and efficient. Yoshiro was soo patient with my many requests for information and translations. The vehicle purchased was better than expected. I would definitely consider using their services again.

5/20/2019 All I can say about the experience is AMAZING! I worked with Matthew and he was helpful through the whole process of bidding, purchasing, and shipping the car to me. He had an answer for every question, and was always quick to respond.
Enjoying my new Mercedes and I will be using them again!

5/15/2019 All around exceptional experience! Matt was great to work with and guided me through the entire process with ease. As a first timer, importing was a bit nerve racking but JCD did a great job providing a cool little truck I can enjoy here in Delaware. I look forward to picking up the next toy/vehicle through them.

5/14/2019 - The experienced, grizzled veterans of the import scene. They were very accommodating with all my questions and concerns. It was my first time importing, so everything was confusing and intimidating, but I'm happy to report everything went as planned! I'm definitely calling them back when I finally come up with an excuse to import another!

4/12/2019 Mathew was great to work with and made what could be a scary daunting experience very easy. I am super happy with my car and am sure I will be importing with them again!

3/18/2019 Working with Mathew and his team was an absolute pleasure. I went from never knowing you could import your own vehicle to owning my own Suzuki Cara within 6 months. Mathew was so helpful and completely transparent with me during the entire process. We spoke on the phone and via email and he helped me pick the perfect car exactly within my requirements. He dealt with my excitement and inexperience with patience and understanding. I couldn't be happier with my experience and will absolutely use Japan Car Direct again when it's time for another project. I highly recommend Mathew and Japan Car Direct.

3/05/2019 - Just purchased my second car through Japan Car Direct. Could not be more pleased with their customer service. Matt went above and beyond to help me find the right car. Translating countless auction sheets, messaging sellers, requesting vehicle inspections, putting up with me and my requests well after his time in the office, etc. I can happily and honestly say that I would recommend this company to anyone looking to purchase a car from Japan and that you will not be dissappinted. Very kind, helpful and professional. Can’t wait for vehicle number 3.

2/13/2019 Mat is is the best he was right on target and video descriptions are perfect. Shipping was alot faster than I thought it would be, as JCD didn't mess around. My van was at port and ready to go.
I will be using JCD again soon, got my van now I want a car.

1/22/2019 - I hunted the internet for a broker I could trust with my money. JDC won and I am so happy I went with them. Matt and Yoshi are great. Matt puts up with a very demanding customer in me, I can certainly take up time. Matt sends me cars from the list I sent him, when I don't have time to check the auction. It is scary how accurate Matt is when I ask him to predict a selling price. He is always very close which sometimes is not fun but he really does know pricing. They have walked we through buying two cars now and have held my hand on both. I really apricate all the time and knowledge. After purchase they have also held my hand through the whole import process which can be daunting for a first timer. I am a dealer and Matt is great at suggesting other cars to import as well. I am very satisfied with my choice

1/19/2019 What can I say? The service was friendly and good, and I got my car, which ended up being in a better condition than expected. Sure, there were couple of unforeseen snags that no-one had anticipated, but overall, it was an extremely positive experience.
Hommat meni hyvin, auto tuli Suomeen eikä noiden pyytämä hintakaan ollut mikään mahdottoman paha.

1/12/2019 I bought a 1993 RX7 FD from these guys they are great! Communication was very good, and prompt! Iv has my car now for 6 months and have been loving it! I would recommend emailing them and looking into the options! They are upfront about price and will steer you into the right direction on what the car will take to own! I’m working with Yoshiro to buy another car now! I’m very pleased with the service I received. It can be scary sending lots of money to a person you don’t know for a car you have never seen, but they will come through with everything they tell you they will do!

12/19/2018 - They've somehow made what was expected to be complicated, so simple. I got all the info I needed and imported my first JDM car without a single problem. Matthew was super fast to respond and always had an answer.

11/12/2018 A must for exporting cars from Japan. I've exported various models with these guys now and they have been exactly how we wanted them with no underlying issues or surprises when they arrive.
Very pleased and will continue to use these guys in the future!

9/28/2018 This was my first time importing a vehicle for my personal use and naturally I was leary about who to go through. After looking through a few other places and after getting in touch with a longtime customer of theirs I decided to try these guys out. I can say without a doubt I'm glad I did. They are definitely professional and know their craft when it comes to getting you your dream car. Everything from getting cars inspected and bidding was completely transparent and went smoothly. I couldn't be happier with the car I bought and I hope down the line I'll be able to purchase another using these guys!! Thanks for all you guys do!!!
