Well its currently in the car atm. It has been used once offroad only and is approx a year old. I need to replace the centre, but probly about 850 Incl. the compressor (heavy duty one). Just pm me. Sorry about the hi jack Want to swap for an LSD centre?[/quote im interested in buying if you want ...

I want to rebuild a spare vit gearbox for a 92 vit manual. How much should i be paying for labour if the gearset is ok?

i plan on getting new synchros and bearings.

oh.. and not a blueprinted gearbox

got my pressures down to 26psi last night until i got my my last tyre... found out that the valve is faulty, not holding any air and have to get it replaced.. grrrr

anyways Ill let you know how I go with 26psi

cheers

hi, I have a brand new set of 30" bfg m/t's, what are people using them for road/mud/sand?

Tyre place put 40psi in them, but Im thinking around 32psi is a better starting point for road?

Looks like Ive almost maxed out the length of my Ultima struts on my Vit. I see that there are two types of strut spacers ones that bolt onto the shaft and one that spaces between the body: http://i13.ebayimg.com/02/i/001/0f/f8/d25a_1.JPG http://i20.ebayimg.com/02/i/08/b9/36/d9_1.JPG is one better ...

have you tried contacting them directly?

$198 for BFG M/T in 30x9.5R15

cheapest i found from other retailers is $272, so its not like a couple of dollars difference.

I may go down there today to check them out for myself.

has anyone bought BFG from there? Are they the real deal? Im saving at least $300 for a set, but a little wary on fakes/parrallel imports.

looks great

what size wheels and backspace are they?

ok cool, so the brakes are bigger and/or vented in the estate wagon? And the rear drums are bigger as well?

what years should i look out for?

Forgive me if this has been covered but a seach of the forums has resulted in no result.

Anyways, can I swap over the brakes from a GV Grand Vitara into my 91 SWB Vitara? I know the Grand has vented front discs (which are slightly larger in diameter) and are vented. What about the rear drums?

the general consensus seems to be 30" is the max size tyre you should use before there is a negative effect on alleration and fuel consumption.. well on rd that is

thanks folks for all your input. With the possibilty of running a LSD in the rear, id rather the same size tyre and it would be handy for longer trips. So anyways, looks like 30s will be it!

soft top

i mean on the spare wheel carrier

hi, can anyone tell me what is the largest spare tyre i can fit in the back of a 91 SWB Vitara? This in turn determines the size of the rest of the tyres (thinking of 30"s)

i am have a front mount intercooler in process of rebuilding engine then starting to put in cool, so where are you planning on placing the cooler? In front of the radiator or are you making a custom radiator with the intercooler on top? Realistically Id like to go water/air intercooler, but its ...

has anyone got any photos of a 4agze or a 4age in a vitara engine bay? Im also wondering where they place the air to air intercooler>?

hi, its time to replace my soft top but there are at least 3 or 4 soft top ads on ebay and Im not sure if they differ in quality. The price range to choose from is pretty significant.

Are there any ones that I should avoid or ones that are recommended. (even oustide of ebay)

looks that way :(

hi sorry if this has been covered, but is there such a kit from a vendor/specialist or enthusiast ? I was after mainly engine mounts, gearbox adaptor to standard Vit manual gearbox and any other custom parts needed.

Any help would be appreciated!

Makes perfect sense, thanks very much for your informative reply

Is there a reason why?

Hi, looks like the reason why my Holley carb conversion didnt gain anything is due to a tired engine.. so ... Having looked at the Suzisport website i see that this is a fairly common conversion. By looking at previous dealings with Suzisport, they seem to be not the most economical/reliable of ...

Actually NIK, Im headed to Cessnock in the next few weeks, are you up that way, or can recommend anyone there as well?

thanks guys, the guy who did the carb is adament its the correct jets..

Can anyone recommend someone in Sydney to look at it???

secondaries are only really needed when "gettin right up it" which you will do coz the noise and extra power the weber gives you is adictive. Good luck and welcome to the land of the Weber. :D :D I actually have no differance in the sound of the carb.. I initally thought that the airfilter might be ...

Well I got my carb fitted to my 1.6 Vitara (Holley 180 same as 32/36). The guy who fitted it was a carb specialist and I trust he put the correct jetting, so ...after driving for the past week I can say: Negatives: NO power increase in fact I may have lost a couple hp below 3000 rpm (using the seat ...

thanks for that, I forgot to say that it is actually for a 1600 (Vitara). The 'specialist' told me that using a Holley 180 will be better for a 1300cc, but actually a step backwards for a 1600. NIK, it looks like you've proven them wrong ;) can anyone recommend a vitara or even a carb specialist ...
