Outer Limits 4x4 Board

cheers, i shoulda asked this question on my forum then ;) i thought there might be some techies on this 'tech' forum. :D just seems to be smoking on one cylinder so could try a new stem seal there i reckon. I saw your rig at hugos on monday night, will be nice to get the 1600 going ya? Cheers lester

Can someone please tell me what type of valve stem seals the Sierra 8v G13ba motor has in it. Are they rubber or pressfit steel?

Like do i have to take the head off again or can i sneak a rubber one in??

cheers guys

there's a guy here who made a bunch of front arms over here in NZ. check out the flyer: http://f3.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/QGWfQhOv0f3wN2hKgX8KlOnSBrLH_kFB8AIqwj_zvwUaMz0czqu-gqtlX1LNBryxT7s4cfAdEirrAYsyTtkb/Parts%20For%20Sale/Coiler%20Arms%20Info.doc i'm sure you can make something similar. they correct ...

they look the same as the ones i just pulled out so i guess they have the same compression? prolly 9.0:1 by the sounds

yes - agreed 100% - i'm currently pulling mine to bits and turning it back into a stock machine. No challenge to getting anywhere anymore so i'm going back to little wheels, no lift and all performance parts out.

well i found a supplier of pistons that actually seemed to know what they were talking about and they reckon the flat-tops are now obsolete

but they can get me a complete set of dish top pistons and rings for $150 which is cheaper than suzuki can get me one piston and set of rings

thanks so much for the useful info.

mine are definately dishtop, maybe getting some aussie spec ones will get me flat-tops...

I'm 90 % certain you can get flat tops for the 1300. Have you Checked all the pistons yeah just #3 has the skirt smashed and a bit more to fall out, no signs of cracks in any of the others can't find any info on flat-tops, or availability. might just have to order the one replacement required from ...

Are you sure you'll still be able to run standard fuel if you beef the compression up too much? lol - theres a sticker by the fuelcap that says min 87 octane :roll: won't be hard to find higher octane than that... just thinking it might even have some performance lurking if it actually had a decent ...

hi all,
does anyone know if hi-top pistons are available for the 1298cc G13BA 8-valve motor. I have a broken piston and would like to put hi compression pistons in if available

if anyone knows where they can be got from or even who to ask please let me know

many thanks

the diesels over here have been PSA sourced (peugeot) 2.0l units since about mid 2002.

hey, Has anyone thought off putting knukels off a leafy onto the coily housing, changing the high pinion to a low pinion center ( to fet a locker) and running the drag link infront instead off behind?????? IM thinkinh of trying this ass i have the parts Cheers pazz coily housing is wider so your ...

bought my first one ('93 WT) half share with my cousin as a weekend toy (he had owned an LJ previously) fell in love with zooks and have bought two since (jimny and coiler) just want to get another jimny now (gotta be at the right price) but the coiler is going well at the moment so just will keep ...

can you buy fully adjustable shocks?? i just bought a new mountain bike with adjustable rebound and compression damping as well as having air springs, so you can adjust the effective spring rate, i want for my zook!!!!!

Basically she plays in the mud, on the rocks and on the dunes.. Anyone know where I should start? kels, when i started i bought the biggest set of mud tyres that would fit in the hole and a winch. since then i have done numerous mods as i see the need. just get out there and drive it...it becomes ...

im unsure of whether its possible on the front coilover setup of a coilly sierra. if you are still running the standard tube upper mounts they will not allow much tolerance for axle repositioning. I run rancho 5000's which only just fit up the tube, and the left one is dented at the front and the ...

looks quite style i say, i'd love to stick some massive chromies on my rig for a laugh, anyone do 30" chrome yet???

only it would triple the value of my ride...........

things i'm very happy with in my current coily and would do again (this is my second built zook): -series 1 rockhopper (19% hi and 197% lo in the coily) -vitara swb coils for the rear things i would definately do differently next time: -would never buy poly bushes again (especially castor correction ...

rumour that the park lights and indicators wer inverted????

might just be the EFI and carby versions tho........

they are called a seal protector, and they locate the axle when you are installing it as not to damage the seal.

braden, i would suggest that you can get what you want from your rig and only spend around $2-3k i would suggest you get a rockhopper, this will get your revs up and make it a lot better for towing. (about $1-1.5k) get a spring and shock package, OME seems to get a good word from most. (probably ...

jimny springs are 75mm ID at top and 82.5mm dia at bottom only other suzuki spring that will fit in is the original vitara rears, with 80mm ID top and same bottom. they'll probably give about 50mm lift, but the original jimny aren't the same left to right so you won't sit too level. cheers lester

I've got Rancho RS5117 shocks with spring seats welded on. they are 310mm compressed and 490mm extended. they offer good travel but the valving is all stuffed up for a suzuki. they have really soft compression and really hard rebound, i think they are set up to match a leaf spring vehicle. the word ...

just went for a test drive and got the brochure this morning...

jimny M13A 1328cc:
60kw @ 5500rpm
110Nm @ 4500rpm

The MTR has a silica compound which probably makes it stop better on the road in the wet wouldn't it? Hows a B.F.G mud on wet roads? the silica compound is actually harder than rubber, they put it in there to stop them wearing so fast, and allows them to put a softer rubber in the matrix - i.e. it ...

oh and for coilly's

in my opinion wrote:

they come with 4" backspacing so any wider rim with 4" backspacing is good - if you want a wider track and for your tyres to foul everything then get something with less backspacing...

15''7'' f100 rims with 4'' offset lol i'd like to see these rims with 4" offset, the hub centre would be outside the rim!!! get it together, backspacing is measured from the inner rim to the hubface and the offset is from the centre of the rim to the hub face Hey Lester Me new to this area and I ...
