Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The steering wheel shakes? or the whole car shakes?

I needed to do the same....

Found 4 on ebay, quite cheap.

Just a matter of waiting. Are Vitara rims close enough in size for your purposes?
That will widen your options.

How "factory" does the Cressida box and Cressida pitman arm look when it is in place with the drilled and sleeved chassis rail?

I am just wondering if it would be the kind of mod that would be frowned upon by our road transport department, or if, with a lick of paint it would pass by as "meant to ...

What is the pros and cons of a Cressida box vs a Jimmy box?

Crissida is a stronger box?
Cheaper to buy?
Requires some drilling and sleeving of the chassis rail to fit.
Use the Crissida Pitman arm?

Jimny is expensive to buy?
Bolts straight up?
Use the Jimny Pitman arm?


Is that correct?

In 15 x 7?

They really suit that particular look!

Do you know what those alloy wheels were, brand etc?
dished, 5 spoke kinda things.

Very impressive!

Seriously good work, by the looks of it you have managed to keep to a reasonable budget, turned out a unique, great looking car, that is also a very capable 4x4.

Am in Adelaide also, will look out for it - shouldn't be to hard to miss a pink zook!

Suzi shop have a new one listed for 220.

What else is required to change them over?

Do the shafts bolt straight up? or a different yoke?
Are the mounting points roughly similar?

Meaning from a older sierra transfer case into a coily.

1070 for a 70L tank.

Ouch.

I have a coily one - in my coily surprise surprise.

However, it has been absolutely pounded. The bottom of it has been bashed by countless rocks. I am really surprised it hasn't been punctured.

I am sure I would get an extra 5-10 liters if it was in better shape.

Has anyone successfully separated ...

Interesting.
The Ford Couriers, Rangers, Mazda Bravos, some Jeeps, etc all have a chain style transfer.

Am interested in this too...

What is the go with the coily type transfer cases?
Do they have a particular reputation?
Are replacement internal parts expensive?

Right. the Drover version manual could be the go.

Anyone know where I can download that from? or is it a physical book that must be purchased?

Ok. Any suggestions for where I might find an Australian version of that manual?
I have the US version I downloaded from somewhere, and it has a very strange carburetor listed in it.

Have downloaded the manuals available at suzukiinfo.com...
But the US models had different carbs.

The Haynes manuals do not cover SJ80's http://www.haynes.com.au/category53_1.htm
Believe the Clymer versions are pretty much the same.

Anyone have a SJ80 manual they can point me too?
Interested in ...

Yes, they are available new.

$13.20 + GST each from my local Suzuki dealer.

Have ordered 2.
Hopefully will have interior light activated by both doors soon!

Right.

Thanks folks. Much appreciated.

Yep, found the little switch where you said it was.
And it is contact is pretty corroded, so I had better buy a new one or clean it up.

Looks like there is blanking plug on the passengers side, in exactly the same spot, so I might put one on that side too if ...

Have a soft top coily sierra.

The wiring diagram I have indicates the interior light is controlled by a door switch, AND that there is a door warning buzzer.

Can't find the door switch anywhere.

Admittedly the wiring diagram is for a US model, and the car is Aust.

Does the door switch exist ...

Any more pics?
Done any more to it?

So the Recaro seat came out of an EVO and bolted in without too much trouble?
Or did you have to make up custom rails etc?

Thank you.

I have now acquired a left and right indicator/parker assembly - apparently to suit the older model Sierra bumpers.

$35 each new from local wrecker.

Looking at the box, looks like it was imported from India.
- sez it is made by Lumax industries, New Delhi to suit a Maruti Gypsy.

See ...

Thank you.
Imageshack - right, will use them in the future.


Now that we can all see what we are looking at, anyone know what light would fit in there?

how big is a standard indicator from the standard front bumper?
180 x 70mm?

Thanks for the kind offers.

Have just finished bolting on the vitara rims purchased cheap from ebay.. They fit good. no offset issues.
Off to motor reg we go.....

Thanks VR Rodeo
How did you do that - attach the pic?
What was I doing wrong

Which engine do you have?

What makes you think it needs a new head gasket? oil in the water? water in the oil?

Would expect a full VRS Valve Regrind Set to be worth between 50 - 130.
Would be available from Sprints, Motor Traders, Repco, ebay.

Labour depends on which engine, if the head(s) need ...

yep - mypix.com has a small banner add at the top of the page.

Don't know what other site to use for putting up pic - that doesn't require registration/logon etc.

Makes it a bit hard to explain what I am asking without putting up pics.

Anyone know of a 180x70mm indicator?
Anyone know what kind of ...

Damn it, can't get the image posting to work.

anyway the link is:

Trying to figure out what indicator light would go in the bar on my sj80 sierra.

None of the options in the narva catalog seem to be the right size.
The lights for TJM bars are definitely different size.

The cut out is about 180mm wide by 70mm high, the distance between the screw hole mounts is ...

Thanks you for the kind offer...

I have acquired 4 Vitara rims and tyres cheap from ebay.
Lets hope they fit ok ofset wise.

Guess I will see when I pick up....
