Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Don't really need a steering wheel puller, but I spose it might make it a little easier. Undo the nut the holds the steering wheel on, but don't take it off completely. Hit both sides of the steering wheel with your hands a few times to hopefully loosen it off the shaft. Plant both feet in the ...

cause they're a shitload better than a landcruiser

I replaced my GQ Patrol with a Sierra because of how much it cost to run. Also, Suzuki's are cheap to fix and considerably cheaper to modify, and as an added bonus, I consistently find that my midly modified Sierra embaresses owner of much larger modified Crusiers and Patrols.

He got ripped. My 31" Baja MTZ's were less than $280 each

what are the 6.5s like on the highway? what is your top speed

with 31" Mickey Thomson's my car see's 130km/h. Will do 110km/h at around 4000rpm.
Hoon :finger:

They are actually mechanical secondaries, but are vaccuum actuated. To see if they are opening, with the top cover off the carby, give it a rev and smother the top of the carby with your hand to restrict airflow. You should see the acuator pulling up and the secondary linkages working.

I'm getting a mobile mech to check it out Fri morning for a 2nd opinion on the engine.

On the paper work from my local mech that I had the car towed to originally it said they did a compression test, the timing belt seems ok & intact. Piston 3 dead.

My car is a 97 model. It was taken to Bonnyrigg ...

Swap leads 2 and 3 around and backfire it through the carby a few times. Then swap leads 2 and 3 back to normal and see if this fixes your problem. If there is any crap blocking any ports or jets in the carby, this may fix it, otherwise you may have to pull it off and rebuild.
Oh, and check you fuel ...

Although it looks bodgey, an old Morris Mini trick was to put a rubber glove over the distributor and have the leads coming out of the fingers. Just make sure you seal all the holes in the glove up properly and hey presto, a water resistant dizzy

thats the idle up solenoid for your headlights.

if its working correctly it should open up when you turn them on.

That is correct, and the idle up can be adjusted via the 10mm bolt below the screw. It's possible the previous owner did'nt know how to adjust it properly, causing the carby to hunt ...

I have seen them advertised on ebay.

to test if your secondaries are opening when they should be, take the air snorkel off the top of the carby and start the engine. With the engine running, rev it and put your hand or a rag over the top of the carby to block air flow and create a vacuum. At this point (before the engine stalls) you ...

they make for very good paper weights. get a vit carby and tune it well and it will leave a weber for dead, both in performance and reliabilaty.

As gwagon likes to say.... x eleventy. You also forgot to mention Joe a Vit carb will keep it legal cause you can hook the pollution gear back up. A ...

Okay, I must be doing something wrong. Burnt out my first 110A EF alternator in 7000 kays. Fitted a 100A EF alt on the weekend - got home from a country trip (500 kays) today and noticed the air con fan sped up when I turned the lights off. Checked with the multimeter - dead :roll: Battery was ...

Should be able to get it out with a hammer and chisel. If not, get a die grinder in there and carefully grind through the collar with the die grinder to get it out

What tyre pressures are you running. The tyre placard on mine say to run 20 psi which I used to think was quite low, but that is what I run now. Made the ride a fair bit better, but all in all you have to remember, it is a Sierra and the ride is never going to be great.

I'm gunna set my shocks up so that full extension of my spring (at full flex) is full extension of my shock. As for bump stops I don't have any. Once i set up my shocks i will be aware of where they bottom. then i will set my bumpstops to 20mm below this point.

any other info/ advice would be ...

Depending where abouts in Sydney you are, there is a place called General Auto Instruments in Lidcombe, that build cables and repair speedo's. Their work is very good, but their people skills not so good as the holes in the wall by irate customers attest to.

No, a 1.6 box will not bolt into a v6

Apart from the direction they face, what is the differance between a Swift/Barina motor and a Sierra motor?? Why would'nt you just buy another Sierra motor??

If you're looking for two points, it'll usually be a relay for the starter motor and a relay for the ignition coil on a carby type engine.

.I rang my local dealer

Thats the problem
I always go in and when the get the page with the exploded diagram I point the parts out which I want

I've done that and they still got it wrong. I'm pretty sure the parts interperators at my local Suzuki dealer were Supercheap rejects. I order my parts ...

in nsw where do you get a blue slip just incase i get defected for somthing silly? will any machanic shop do them?
and also can cops defect you for mods thats have been engineered?

Not any mechanics, but there are quite a few mechanics that do issue blue slips. You're sure to find more than one ...

Well i got the new pump in the zook. But im not sure the timing is right as it seems to have less power then it did prior to the dizzy being removed and put back in. Should i just keep trying different settings!?



Cheers

Probably because it is on TDC rather than where it should be timed at. eg ...

want to make one of these myself. Has anyone got a drawing with measurements I can build to? Would save me a lot of hassle getting under the car to measure everything up.
