The 1.3 NT has 26 spline rear. The 1510 lockrite will fit using your current side gears The 1530 will fit using the supplied couplers For the front locker I would pull it apart and inspect it/rebuild it. Something doesnt seem right. Replacement springs and pins might be needed. http://www ...

I put a ryco marine fuel filter in the engine bay, and removed the stock filter which seemed to vibrate apart.

filter element is $10 to replace and has a water seperator with glass bowl to inspect/drain etc.

I put a snorkel on mine close to a year ago. Later i developed some issues, where itd lose lots of power when in water etc. I found that some of the connections (dizzy/lead and lead/plug) were corroded a little bit. I replaced the dizzy (installed a dizzy breather and sealed the base). I ensured ...

not from what i hear. every mechanic has said if your doing valve stem seals, may as well rebuild it. However being an old engine 200,000kms, he said the block would need machining as you would have tapered bores and so on. Think i'm going to buy a 1.3ltr reconditioned motor from suziworld in ...

Good cheap winch bullbar? Check OL + auszookers in the 4sale section, check fleabay.
Consider a custom made winch bullbar, as the arb one is around $950.

Long range fuel tanks, I dont think arb list one for the jimny as yet.
Cheaper option is just to buy jerry cans and carry/use as needed.

I assumed that when the cam sprocket mark was inline with the cover mark, that the engine should be at TDC on #1 on the compression stroke. This is clearly false thinking as the engine is actually ready to fire #4 cylinder. Yeah that got me as well. Common sense to me would dictate that the marks ...

Having inspected the barina engine and two cam shafts, the key etc was the same orientation. When the hole bisected with the lines is at the top, it was tdc on piston 1 and 4 as expected. However, piston 4 was at ignition point, and piston 1 was finishing exhaust stroke, and starting intake. We set ...

If i spin the crank 1 revolution, it will align the cam timing mark, but the engine will not be on TDC on #1 compression stroke. Cookie Monster I think you are trying to say, the valves are in the wrong order? Currently in the picture shown the exhaust valve should be closed or almost closed. As ...

Installed my lockright auto locker in the rear of my sierra today. (I bought vicelore's). I had initially wanted to install it into the front, but whilst I had to replace the rear wheel bearings, i whacked it into the rear. Took me (a novice at cars) about 8 hours to pull the axles, pull the diff ...

very easy to understand why the owner got over the project.

probably still needs lots of $ spent, and elbo grease.
