Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The idle adjustment screw on a 16 valvle EFI Vitara is on the tope rear of the throttle body recessed about 10mm below the top.

Hi CJ,

Not just at the moment, I've spent too much money this week already and only recently rebuilt the t/fer case as well.

Drop me a PM with a price though.

Extractors with the 4-2-1 setup tend to work better at low revs, creating more "bottom end" , where as the 4-1 style tend to preoduce better high end power. Layto.... My 16 valve MPFI Vitara has the standard exhaust manifold which dumps 4 to 1. It's good off the mark and low down torque i...

I think every motor vehicle ever made has rear brakes. Take the brake drums off and have a look at the brake shoes. There should be plenty of 'meat' on the steel backing. If not, put new ones on.

I had a similar issue. None of mine worked so I swapped the bulbs from one side to the other and now half of them work. You cant buy the bulbs! Suzuki will only sell you the whole assembly. Narva etc, dont make that size bulb and the specialist electronics places (Jaycar etc) were no help either. My...

Hi, I use 2 different types of GPS. I have a computer running OziExplorer in my Vitara (you can see the screen in my Avatar on the pass side). I mostly do 4WD touring and travel with my kids only so I need a computerised navigator. OziExplorer is great for my purpose. I also use a Garmin eTrex that ...

Hi, I had a similar problem with my Vitara. The compressor was overhauled by an a/c guy and the system gassed up. "Way you go." The compressor kept cycling off and then I found ice cold water pouring onto the floor on the passengers side. I opened up the covers around the evaporator and fo...

Hi cj,

I knew I could rely on you.

Thanks mate.

Hi,

I know I have read them on here but I cant find it now!

Does anyone know the braked and unbraked towing capacities of the LWB Vitara JLX with G16B (1.6 efi) engine. Mine is a 1991 model.

Tks in advance.

Cheers

Sorry to hyjack but that explains why they dont answer my emails!

Does anyone distribute Calmini products on the East Coast in their absence?

Well my friend, that depends on what the problem is. If it's a head gasket it fairly common, cracks are less common but do happen.

Good luck with it.

Hi, There are a few ways that water and oil can mix in your engine but in general it's not good. The most common are a blown head gasket or a cracked head/block. As was suggested check for bubbles in the radiator after the thermostat is open and also check your compression. You need to find where yo...

Toyota Prados come out with 17 inch wheels so the tyres are becoming easier to find.

Not on every corner yet though!

cut out enough bonnet to let it close and put a scoop over the top. There should be plenty at wreckers off Toranas and Commodores to cover the hole.

Would you believe, I need to do this to make my battery fit?

Hi SiKiD,

Currently the 'power band' is very low in the rev range. It wants to chug up a hill in top gear rather than free rev in third.

I think opening her up (header and larger dia pipe) might give more power above 3k rpm. But I am happy to be corrected there.

Cheers

Clive

Here she is today.

Looking at the exhaust when the dollars stretch that far.

Cheers

Clive

Cool. I just paid $550 for a T/C rebuild and now that I have seen the price of parts, I am very happy

Greetings of the season to you all.

Cheers

Clive

Hey SiKiD,

Great job on the rear end. The new bar, the mudflaps, the lights and the hitch. Top work.

Are you sure the fuel tank was the eyesore? I can still see that tailgate

Cheers

Clive

I was way too slow typing that one!

Hi CJ, I had my transfer case overhauled this week and that was one of the items that was replaced. But as it was done by a transmission shop I dont have any part numbers etc. The noise that I have been complaining about for some months was a bearing directly behind the seal that was close to comple...

CJ,

I was nearly there in my primary ride today which would have been very nasty (expensive)!

Friend, I feel your pain!

I hope the recovery goes well.

Cheers

Clive

I was at Milperra Tyres the other day and they had 15 x 7 white painted steel Speedy wheels for $55 each.

Three more additions I forgot.

* Kumho Venture AT tyres (215/75/15)

* GPS navigation

* Second battery pack

Great to see this thread again. My first post here!

Great trip down memory lane.

She's had a fair bit of body tidy up work done, bullbar, 50mm suspension lift, OME shocks and now rides like a dream.

A bit more mechanical TLC and she will be perfect.

When I was in the US in 1997 I saw a lot of utes without tail gates but with a net of nylon material stretched across the back. It was in a square cross over pattern with fabric about 3 inches across and holes about the same size. I didnt have a good look at one to see what the fabric was though. I ...

Hi SiKiD, I was browsing the net and found this site. http://www.masterkit1.com They make body lift kits and other gear for Vitaras. One item that they make is an extended steering bar for 3" body lifts. The whole kit including the extended steering is $150 (Canadian dollars ~ = Australian Dollars) ...
