Re: Buying a Grand Vitara

Other things you should be looking for on a 98 model is put it in 4WD and turn it in a circle on firm gravel to make sure the front diff does not bang. If you are looking at an auto put it in high range drive with your foot on the brake as hard as you can in a straight line to make sure the transfer ...

A 350 holley wont run on a 1.3 or 1.6. A 350 holley is too big for a 202 Holden red motor to run correctly. 180 Holley is still too big for a zook, and why would you they are as good as a siphen hose into the manifold when you place them on any angle. Webber is a much better choice but still keep it ...

You may be able to put a carby vitara crank and water pump pully on it to convert it to a 4pk style belt.
The 95 sierra runs a 5 bolt crank pully with a round tooth timming belt.
Its the same pully if im not mistaken at the carby vitara. Worth looking into if your that concerned.

The whole design of having the butterflys is to create a smoth idle and lower end torque. When the engine gets higher in the revs it opens to allow maximum air flow in as straight a line to the engine as possible allowing top end power. I know if the butterfly is held open the vehicle lacks light ...

Body lifts are the same as all other Sierras. Ebay or suzistore.com.au or someone on here sells them. I have a feeling that when you place a leaf spring transfer in you may need to look at a different length drive shaft but someone will confirm that i hope. Sj80 sierras are what id call a soft ...

Yes they have a viscous diff in the transfer much like a rear having a LSD but when the knob is turned to 4WD the diff does nothing, it is locked out and become a true 4WD in true Suzuki fasion.
