Howdy, Just checking out some rear wheel bearings for a wide track sierra and found some which instead of having a wider inner ring, have a separate spacer bush to space the bearing from the collar. Has anyone used these ones with a spacer on their widetrack, i guess it is just similar to having the ...

I've pulled it apart again. It appears the backing plates are bowed, bent outward around the centre, allowing play for the bearing. They must have bent them when i last got the bearings done being why the problem is a new one. Might be time for some new backing plates, and new bearings seeing they ...

I have no reverse lights and need to sort them for rego. I am unsure of where the switch or sensor for this is located, somewhere on the gearbox i figure?
Any ideas?
Thanks Ian

Thanks for the reply. The bearing is in good condition, have pulled it out a couple of time replacing seals and seeing what was happening. I think a new housing might be the go.
Thanks Ian

G'day, In recent times i have gone through a couple of rear axle oil seals and have been having a few brake problems on the the rear left corner of my 91 Wide Track sierra. Where the bearing and axle slide into the diff housing i was under the assumption that you had to tap it in on instalation and ...

I might give the auto paint store a crack. I have a swb sierra, its white and the colour code for that is 26U. Its definately more of a creamy, off white colour. Might be the beige one. Thanks for your help

Howdy I have a 93 maruti 1 litre ute. Its a creamy colour but on the plate inside the engine bay it has no colour code stamped or written on the plate. I think they only came out in a few colours, would anyone know what colour it is or know the colour code. Its in super good nick and would like to ...

Howdy, i have been offered a 1993 Suzuki sierra ute from a mate on a farm and dont have a picture. It has a 1litre motor and a narrow track front end ,a 2 seat ute cab with a removeable fibreglass roof and fold down windscreen. It has an alloy drop side tray. It is standand from the factory like ...

Thanks for the info, will have a hunt round for both new and other options and bung one in at home i think
Thanks Emu

Howdy I have a 91 model hilux with a 2.8litre diesel motor. Unfortuantly the motor has seized. But the rest of the car is in top nick. So now i need a recon motor im guessing and am up for about 5-6grand give or take installed?? Are 2.8L diesel motors the same in a 4runner as a hilux and in a hiace ...

The filters i use are ryco and valvoline, the one between the pumps is just a standard sierra/vit one z367 or vf31. and then in the engine bay i use a commodore/falcon one being z200 or vf6, its a metal straight though kinda one. I have put new ones in since the problem started. A mate has a spare ...

I have no surge tank and only have the 2 pumps, no internal pump. I use an aftermarket long range tank. This setup has been running well for the past 5 years its just a new problem that has developed. Obviously one of the pumps may well be on the way out, just a matter of figuring out which one. If ...

Sorry i should have mentioned. I run a 2 pump external setup. The first (closest to the tank) being a kinda standard square pump which makes a ticking noise, then the second being a cylindrical shape pump which kinda makes a wavering whirring electrical type noise i guess. They are not far from each ...

Yeah i was thinking possibly the fuel pump or possibly the Ignition module as these can bugger up with heat as well. But wasnt sure if the fuel pump suffered from heating up or how it kinda resets itself. It hasnt felt warm to touch.

Howdy, I have a Vitara 1.6 G16A EFI in my 89 Wt Sierra. It drives and runs great for about 40 minutes, then it feels like you have run out of petrol and it starts to miss or stutter, it gets worse untill it brings you to a stop. It still however idols perfectly at this stage, and can be revved a ...

A few of us from the sydney zook club went for a night drive with them last saturday, They only had a couple of zooks there that night but there were a few patrols and other trucks to.

Theres a newcastle based suzuki club called 'The Rat Pack Suzuki 4x4 Club' i beleive.

Yep i once put the falcon alternator onto my old 1.3 sierra engine, but wasnt sure if the mounts on the sierra 1.3 were the same as on the vitara 1.6. But if they are i will just do the same thing.
Cheers

G'day, I run an injected 1.6 vitara motor in my sierra. The old 50amp altenator called it quits over the weekend so im in the market for a newy. Are there any options from other cars available with more ampage which fit in easily or should i stick with a 50amp one. Either getting this one ...

Howdy, I have a widetrack 89 sierra and wish to change the steering box. Just wondering how people remove the pitman arm from the spline on the steering box? I dont have a puller of any description and it appeares to be a tad seized or rusted on. Ive been soaking it up with the wd 40 for a few days ...

Hey Nic, where did you get your clutch from? Is that just an off the shelf price or u know a guy? I was told like $270 just for the kit
Ian

that is good to hear, will save heaps of work!
thanks for the link to

G'day, i drive an 89 wt 1.3litre sierra. my t-case has been leaking oil from the oil seals. On closer inspection it looks like 2 seals can be replaced from the outside and the other on the opposite side of the case needs to be replaced from the inside? Is this correct? so that i would need to open ...

you'll probably only get about 3 inches all up, as the shackles only lift one end of the spriing. Have a search though, its quite a well talked of subject.

Its a pain they made them so hard to get out. Ive tried a rattle gun and i shattered 2 tips, so i think i'll try the nail punch method next and if i dont succeed there i guess i will fire up the welder.
Thanks
Ian

G'day, I need to pull my doors off my sierra. The screws holding the hinges on for the doors are tight as and the ones for the back door are even worse! I cant get them undone. How have others succeeded??
Thanks Emu

G'day i run the same motor setup, with a vl commodore airbox which sits in the position where u have mocked up that 2nd battery tray. I have dual batteries but they run down the drivers side of the car. They were like this when i got it. I would like to relocate one of the batterys to the other side ...

All is now solved, thanks for everyones help. Top link that Damo was very handy! Sourced 2 kits, one for each side from warringah brakes. $20 a side which contained all the ruber goodies which are involved. Also bought some special grease for the job, so $50 all up which didnt seem to bad. Was also ...

Yeah not afraid to have a shot at the title, have a manual and club to. Was more so wondering about an overhaul kit and there availability and mainly the $$ factor of it so i dont get fleeced.
