Grand Vitara 2003 changes
Hi guys. I've searched and read through a lot of threads about Grand Vitara's but still haven't been able to find anything about the changes to the Grand Vitara during 2003. (referring to the 99-03 model, and the 03-04 model). I'm planning on purchasing one shortly and the only thing I can really ...

The engine conversion and the two seater conversion (no back seats) are both mod plated on the vehicle. I was thinking about selling interstate if I did it without rego because that way it wouldn't matter as much I assume. Good idea though, I might put up an official ad and see what offers I get ...

Advice on selling my Zuk
Hey guys. I have a 1996 Suzuki Sierra with lifted springs, body lift, 4AGE 20v (engineered), rear air locker, 30" muds + other stuff.

As for the type of tire, you'll be wanting an all terrain. They're good for road and good for offroad and sand as well. As for which type, I know in the larger sizes the BFG A/T's are a damn good one but I don't know if they come small enough for your needs. As for sizes, on my mates LWB V6 Vitara ...

Coil Sierra Rear Diff/Axle Question
Hey guys. I checked in the bible and did a search but didn't find exactly what I was after.

I was quoted $2k to fix it. All valves were leaking so the head needed a recondition (800) and one rod was bent which was a bit over 1k to fix. I've found a replacement bare motor for $450 which is cheap for a 20v. I've seen them for sale for 500-1000 so there not actually that expensive being a ...

20v in a Sierra
Hey guys. My Sierra has a 4AGE 20v in it which I killed last weekend :( Rather than getting it fixed, I'm going to drop a second hand engine in there but I'm unsure if all 4AGE 20v Silvertop engines are the same or if there are RWD/FWD versions and if this is going to make a difference. Can anyone ...

Thanks for the help guys. I took it to a radiator guy today and he said that it's definitely customised one that has been cut down to that size so any replacement radiator would also have to be custom to bolt onto the existing mounts. I think I'll just use some metal epoxy to plug the hole and look ...

Sierra Radiator?
Hey guys. My Sierra has a 4AGE 20v in it and recently the radiator has had more than a few leaks so I want to replace it. What I don't know is if what I have is the standard 1996 Coily radiator or if mine would be a 20v radiator. So can anyone tell me if this is a Sierra radiator? If not, I'll ...

Road driving in low range...
Hey guys. I have a 96 Coil Sierra with a 4AGE 20v on 30's. The wheels combined with the different toyota gearbox mean that for acceleration on the road, things just aren't that special. 2nd gear doesn't rev out until 90k/h which is great for people who want top speed, but sucks for acceleration ...

Not sure if there will be a similarity but I swapped my Sunnies, 2" bigger offset over stock on my Coily over for my mates 16" alloys running AT's from his V6 Vitara LWB. There was clearly a difference between the offsets but his fit on mine fine. Assuming the offsets are the same from the V6 LWB ...

Thanks for the help with this guys. Mission success! It was a swirl pot and the dodgy spot welds had come loose which was why it was floating around when I opened up the tank. This afternoon I drilled out the hole in the bottom of the tank to accomodate a 6mm bolt (opposed to 4mm) and then holding ...

Hey guys. I've had a little hole in my fuel tank for a while (perfectly round hole, possible some form of drain plug) which I've been bogging with a bolt and metal epoxy. Anyway, after about 3 months it eats through the epoxy so it's happened twice now that I'm stuck with a leaking fuel tank. I want ...

I had the same problems in my Sierra. Any medium effort work in 1st and 2nd would cause the car to start overheating and I'd have to pull over and wait. Really damn annoying. Since you know that it works on the road, this indicates that there's definately a problem with air flow over the radiator ...

Something worth enquiring about then. Either way, the new AFM only cost me $70 delivered so no huge loss. Unless as mentioned, it could have been the wiring which stuffed the AFM and not the 02 sensor in anyway. They also mentioned that the AFM could have been stuffed from silicon used to seal it up ...

I guess "technically" all you would need is some extra long piping to run to the back of your car and to make sure that you have a big ass thermo to keep the air flowing over it. Sounds like it would be pretty simple. Bolt radiator to back of truck. Run hoses/metal piping (something damn strong and ...
