Re: Northlander '94 Safari turbo

Yeah, had another look at those threads and saw the radius style airbox using a ryco a360 panel filter for a commie. Was for y61 but gave a good idea for shape etc. might shoot and grab one and fiddle with it in the engine bay to see what kind of space I can work with.

Re: Northlander '94 Safari turbo

Thanks TwoDiffs/Craydiver. Lots of good info, much appreciated. I should have said from the get go that I'm not looking to build an offroad monster like your guys ones. It's my daily driver and I do probably 80-90% on road (but the gravel roads I live down are so shit they would qualify as offroad)....

Re: Northlander '94 Safari turbo

Cheers for the info MihiT. I've removed my headlight washers and the reservoir as they were just a pain in the ass. I bent up an alloy bracket and will mount it to the reservoir bracket. This will hold my RedArc Charge Stabiliser, Circuit breaker and Distribution block from the 12v side. I've bought...

Re: Northlander '94 Safari turbo

Universals are nice and tight. No play at all. Just guess I lucked out and got one of the SWBes that have problems when lifted even 2 inches. Perhaps some castor correction bushes in the future but as I need the wagon most days the spacers seemed the quickest fix until I can have her out of commissi...

Re: Northlander '94 Safari turbo

Have sorted out details on the exhaust system to be done in Whangarei. Will have to take a day off work some time in the week to get down there. Only problem is I got my 2" lift (springs & shocks) put in on Friday and now I've got vibrations/noise at 90ish kph. Don't wanna take the old girl...

Re: Advice on A/Ts

Just weighing in. I've been rolling around on BFG T/A K02's (33x10.5x15) for about 2 months now. About 3000km done on them to date. Very quiet on road. Much quieter than my old AT's (desert duelers). But about 2.5x the price. Set of four balanced and fitted were $2250 retail. Like NJV6 said, they ha...

Re: Northlander '94 Safari turbo

Cheers for the info guys. I gave Kamo Mufflers a call and got an estimate of around 1k. Will see where I go to from here over the weekend. Diesel maintenance were great as well. I will get a compression test/tappets etc. checked some time in the near future. They recommended Trans Tune if I wanted t...

Re: Northlander '94 Safari turbo

Cheers Zukmeista.

Will give them a call up some time. Have to schedule in a few trips to Whangarei from the sounds of things.

Muffler services quoted $1150 inc. for 3" exhaust so will call them back tomorrow to confirm the details and hopefully get the ball rolling.

Northlander '94 Safari turbo

Howdy~ Long time lurker in the Far North (surprise) with a few questions. First off thanks to Tuckertrucker for answering my pms today. Really appreciated. I'm looking at slowly giving the old girl ('94 Safari factory turbo) a bit more zing as she's starting to show her age. I'm wanting to put on a ...

Suzuki Samurai Alternator Upgrade - Pulleys

Hey all. Have had a problem with my batteries dieing on me as I drive (radio cuts out, headlights dim, wipers no wipe etc.) so thought I'd whip out the alternator and chuck in the ford one. Problem is the wreckers didn't have the pulleys to suit, so I'm after a WP Pulley/Crank Pulley to suit (Pre -9...
