Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Sorry Mick

As I said I only sold the stuff

Never took a greater interest

I said a pianter would set us straight

I sold and used Century for twelve years without an ounce of a problem plus they come with a nationwide warranty.

Bit pricey though.

Remember you get what you pay for.

From memory around $120 for a 13 plater for a petrol, $150 for a 15 plater for a diesel and around $190 for a 17 plate 4wd ...

You can not even metalic in enamel. It is only available in solid colours and clears.

Cheers Mick.

I'm not 100% sure you'd have to speak to an automotive spray painter but i think what Mick is saying is right.

Yes there are enamel metallics in industrial paints like numerous rust kill variaties ...

Pauwolf is dead right

Isolator is the go

Never used it but sold plenty of it over 12 years all with no problems

do you have a flex joint in it at all ??
I have found that if you dont you can end up cracking the header tubes at the block (usually number one piston or bottom of number two where it meets the collector and is a PITA to reweld properly)
Seesm to occur because the Zuk engine mounts seem to let ...

My clutch/brake bloke says hd doesn't always mean better.
Sometimes it just means a heavier pressure plate, which ain't too great with cable clutches.
To stop slippage and wear, a good friction rating/type of surface is often more important than clamp pressure.

But I am not 100% sure if I ...

Posted up a while ago that I was getting a set of extractors/exhaust fitted.

Well I'm finally getting around to posting the pics for anyone whose interested.

Oh and I also fixed my oil leaks, was my dizzy o-ring and plug on side of gearbox as suggested by "sikid". Thanks again



Here is a pic of ...

I'm after some input on the most appropriate sand tyre for my Vitara.

I currently have 205/75/15's bridgestone HT's on the front & Kuhmo A/T's on the rear.

90% of my offroad driving will be on Stockton beach, which is notorious for soft sand, with the other 10% forest trails with hardly any mud ...

Tryin to warm up my carby swb Vitara a little.

Already put UNI FILTER air filter in stock cleaner box, new plugs, 9mm leads(a bit of a wank I know, but i work in a spares shop), new cap, new rotor, thoroughly carby cleaned carby.

Now I'm thinking of a snorkel for better air flow, but not sure ...

Well I got underneath today and had a feel round for the plugs, could only find one on the passenger side which is weird?????? My gearbox seems a little different to yours, mines 1992??????

But that is where the oil seems to be comin from,(no oil down the drivers side), so I filled up with ultra ...

Thanks again SIKID

All crystal clear, hopefully the plugs are my only problem.

Will keep ya posted

a vitara gearbox has 2 holes on top of the gearbox facing outwards. these holes have rubber plugs/grommets in them. these arent all that tight, and can pop out if your gearbox breather is blocked.

there should be 2 infront of the manual shifter, one facing left and the other right. even if you ...

Thanks guys for the input, still haven't had a chance to pull console apart to check if it's gearbox or motor, but had a quick look this morning and there seems to be an old oil stain on the bell housing end of the box which is probably from the dizzy as you say or the cylinder head. The fresh oil ...

I've had my 92 Vitara for 2 weeks and when I bought it I degreased the whole motor, gearbox, transfer and diffs, then put new oil in them all. I hadn't found any visible leaks until I got under to do a suspension lift on the weekend. There seems to be gearbox oil coming out of the top of the gearbox ...

Does anyone know the original tyre size for a 92 SWB Carby Vitara? Looked for my tyre placard, normally on drivers door, and it is no where to be seen.

Hi I'm a Vitara newbie. Bought a 92 Carby SWB 2 weeks ago. This arvo I installed Superpro 35mm spacers all round, did a strut mount flip and put longer shocks on the back. I haven't taken it 4x4 since the lift, only a ten kilometre drive. It has settled down a little and seems to have lifted the ...
