No.. those are no longer in production. You will have to settle for the Alloy 3.5 Litre V6.

My sierra was not well maintained when I got it. I spent some time and money on it and have been lucky to enjoy 25,000km of perfect operation.

Dont be too harsh on the car mate, they are a good truck. I think yours just fell into the hands of someone who didnt know what they where doing.

Define worn out?

My one has a bit of play in it.. but its nothing major and even on the freeway it drives nicely.

I too am in the same boat, I thought my stock 1.3 was on its way out. Since then its running well (fixed a few things like the timing up) and has happily given me 20,000km in the last six month since purchase. My decision was a. Recondition the stock 1.3 b. Get a better carby. c. replace the clutch ...

Thats a nice little sierra! Good price too

Well I thought that would have been obvious, but the larger caliper (bottom), and the larger pad (right) are from a 4 door vit with vented discs, while the other are stock 413's

Urm. yeah it was obvious. I dont know why I asked.. *slaps head*

When i brought my car the girl said she used good fuel to stop the noise under the bonnet. I didnt think twice about this *stupid me* and didnt hear it on the test drive. Then a few days later, heard it.. the ping of death.. The timing was WAY out on my poor zook. Plus her mechanic who said he was s...

which ones which??

Im in NSW..


I suppose my main goal is to run bigger tyres, and have some more room to get over things.

If a body lift means I can get over things a little better, but more important run bigger tyres then I am cheering.

That was on the cards too.

Just found I was grinding over things which it would be nice to drive over.

also on standard suspension how far could I go with tyres.

I was after some tips and ideas on the best way to get more height out of my zook. I want to be able to do beach work (stock can do it) bush bashing (nothing to crazy) and safe highway driving (its my daily driver). So what are my options for getting more height out of my sierra (92 model) I am tryi...

I pulled my tyres off and found my car had vented rotors, however when trying to buy replacements found that they where not standard. now my calipers look stock. Do you have to use the vitara calipers or is it possible my cars just got the rotors on it. (just trying to figure out if they are from a ...

I was trying to think how to store all my crap in the zook.. but figured you guys might have solved the problems better than I could. So with the rear seats removed.. how does one store a. Recovery gear b. Jerry Can c. Water d. Smallish esky e. Camping gear f. Some Tools.. Has anyone knocked up some...

thanks heaps superzuki

appreciate your advice.. I will pull it off.

I popped the bonnet of my zook and found two things. a. The water bottle was missing.. hrm will sort that out. b. The hose that connects the exhaust manifold to the EGR valve was broken. So on the intake I took out the valve and blocked off the holes (will replace with pipe shorly) On the exhaust si...

I was going to change my front pads for the first time on my zook (since I got it) and found the rotors where well and truly fubar. I sussed out DBA replaccements and saw they are solid, but the ones on my zook are ventilated. Now the previous owners of my zook have not been modders, the thing is st...

I cant believe that out of all the cars I own / have owned the zook is the most expensive for ctp. The RTA put down on my rego forms that the shape is a UTE, and because i am under 25 my rego is gonna cost me 735 dollars for CTP. So my question.. A. is the thing really classified as a ute, has anyon...

I do about 100km on average a day in my zook. It goes nicely with no issues. I have given it a full service, replaced a few dodgy hoses and its going sweet!

550 for all those parts!!!

thats fantastic.. My pistons alone for my skyline would start at over $1000 bucks.

I love this sierra more and more everyday! haha

How much does a rebuild on these things cost?

you can change 4hi to 4low on the run, just clutch, rev it, and put it in... works fine. Drcarlo, if this is your first 4x4, ignore aliens advise (no offence alien), and stop the car before shifting between low and high range, you have many other things to master first, and have lots of fun. Peter....

Excellent.. These are the things I wanted to know.

Never had a 4x4 before, and it would not be fun if I killed it before the fun started.

Hi all,

Yesterday I brought my self a 2nd car, a sierra so I can join in the offroad antics.

The silver plaque under the 4x4 selector is faded, does it have anything important? Does anyone have a photo of what it says?

Cheers
