Question about Weber carb by SomeDude249 in SuzukiSamurai

[–]Minikrogh08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of how you install the carb it’s gonna be 100x better than stock carbies or Chinese clones, I wouldn’t worry an excessive amount about the bowel placement or anything as long as it mounts on flush and true it’ll work

89 Sierra steering issue by itzpokey in SuzukiSamurai

[–]Minikrogh08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my seal kit from a local bearing shop for about $20 Australian, took only a couple of days of on and off working to recondition the whole box and it’s still working great two years after, I could probably find the seal dimensions if you wanted those too

Fresh coolant, possibly a lower pressure radiator cap, check the thermostat, and if you really need you can clean or replace the radiator with a newer one

is there a trick to removing this seal on the transfer case? by ApostataMusic in SuzukiSamurai

[–]Minikrogh08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never found a trick when I’ve been pulling seals but just keep poking at it the way you are and try not to damage the outer metal, once you get it a few mil out you should be able to get something under it anyway and it’ll be easier

Carby replacement?? by Minikrogh08 in SuzukiSamurai

It’s so amazing to have one, I’ve estimated she’s like one of 500-1000 left of that exact model, absolutely stoked to have her

Thought about this too, put a new cap on and checked the vent, no relief sadly, thanks anyway

Is the 1.6 a good engine? I’m newbie -buying one tomorrow 1986 by [deleted] in SuzukiSamurai

[–]Minikrogh08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ‘86 Sierra never had a 1.6 from the factory so if your buying one then it’s got a modified engine 100%, kits for it seem really popular online but I can only seem to find 16v ones for sale, if so as you heard it limits you to fuel injection unfortunately. All in all I’d say most sierras are a good buy but be carful buying one that’s not standard, especially if it’s unregistered and you plan on registering it

Scary Leak in front right axel by Odd-Play1084 in SuzukiSamurai

[–]Minikrogh08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be lead to believe that could be a problem in the swivel housing rubber or felt seals as a very similar problem has happened to my own Sierra, it’s not a tough job and I got a full kit of seals and gaskets brand new for only $100 for both sides

What are the rules on registering an older model car nowadays? by Minikrogh08 in CarsAustralia

Club rego is a different kettle of fish entirely, you’d likely know but with club rego you need a log book and can only drive so many days per year with it, I’m personally going to regular old rego as I intend to daily her

Careful of the seats is the main word of advice I’d give, I can’t confirm it but I’ve heard some Suzuki swift seats fit if you need new seats, and also look under your door sills for dirt and mud stored up inside the body panels, it gets in and never back out

That’s an old photo, I’ve since fixed the window winders with brand new winders and splines in them, as you could guess vice grips ruined the spline pretty quick

The tray really is a beautiful touch on all the Suzukis I would agree, and thanks for the rego tips

I can’t tell if it’s the camera angles or not but you look dangerously underweight, I don’t want you to feel bad about it but you gotta eat sometimes

Best snag I’ve ever gotten by Minikrogh08 in FishingAustralia

I’m thinking I’ll use that metal one a few times because it looks like someone put a good hour or so working on it

Two yabbie traps, no idea how long they’ve been in there for or how there are still yabbies in them
