We Speak JDM.
Vancouver's Trusted Shop for Skyline, Supra, and Right-Hand Drive Repairs.
Owning a JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) vehicle in Canada is a unique experience—and repairing one requires a unique set of skills. Most standard body shops shy away from Right-Hand Drive (RHD) imports because their estimating software doesn't list them, or they don't know where to find parts.
At Midvan Collision, we are different. We are true JDM enthusiasts.
We understand that your Nissan Skyline, Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7, or Subaru STI is more than just a car. Whether you have a classic 90s legend or a modern import, we have the passion and the logistics network to repair it properly.
The Midvan JDM Advantage
1. We Can Source the "Un-Sourceable"
The biggest headache with JDM collision repair is finding parts. While other shops might tell you a part is "discontinued" or "unavailable," we go the extra mile. We have established networks to source hard-to-find components directly from Japan and overseas distributors. We know the chassis codes, the trim differences, and how to get the right bumper for your specific model year.
2. Right-Hand Drive (RHD) Expertise
RHD vehicles have different cut-off lines for headlights, different wiring harnesses, and often different structural bracing than their North American counterparts. We understand these nuances. We ensure your repair meets Canadian safety standards without compromising the authentic JDM look of the vehicle.
3. Custom Paint & Colour Matching
Many JDM vehicles feature iconic colors (like Midnight Purple, Bayside Blue, or Championship White) that can be difficult to match after decades of sun exposure. Our painters are experts at blending modern waterborne paints to match vintage and unique factory Japanese color codes seamlessly.
4. Body Kit Installation & Fitment
Many JDM repairs involve aftermarket aero parts (bumpers, side skirts, widebodies). We are experienced in fitting fiberglass and polyurethane kits, ensuring gaps are tight and the finish is smooth before paint is applied.
Vehicles We Love to Work On
We welcome all imports, but we have a soft spot for:
- Nissan: Skyline GT-R (R32, R33, R34), Silvia (S13/S14/S15), Fairlady Z
- Toyota: Supra (Mk3/Mk4), Chaser, Soarer
- Honda/Acura: NSX, Integra Type R, Civic Type R

Real JDM Experience
Midvan Collision is owned and operated by enthusiasts. We own and drive Nissan sports cars (including the R35 GT-R) and modify vehicles ourselves. We treat your import with the same care and attention to detail that we give our own project cars.
FAQ for Import Owners
Q: Can you handle ICBC claims for RHD vehicles?
A: Yes. We handle ICBC claims for right-hand drive vehicles regularly. We can help explain the value and rarity of your vehicle to the insurance adjuster to ensure you get a fair repair approval.
Q: I have an aftermarket body kit I want installed during the repair. Can you do that?
A: Absolutely. This is part of our "Upgrade During Repair" service. If your factory bumper is damaged, we can often install an aftermarket version for you instead.
