The Diff on mine is a factory LSD, the same one that Calmini sells for a huge amount of money. its got LSD written on the bottom of the 3rd member, and the LSD oil sticker on the Axle housing and its a 89. I'm no expert, i was thinking of getting mine tightened too but heard it doesn't last long ...

reduced price,

Hey thanks, Yeah wasn't planning on ever selling it so was getting it set up all nice. But new job in Sydney means it sitting in the garage at my folks is no fun, and it prob wouldnt get compliance over there, I'm after $5,500 which I honestly think is a bargin, but everyone on trademe wants ...

Hey Guys, Just putting the feelers out there if anyone would be interested in My Calmini Anvil Front diff, its got a steel 3rd member, and the ratio is 5.125, or what ever the manuals are, it also has the 26 spline axles, the diff is unbreakable, and also allows you to run two Passenger side CVs ...

on mine they are for the seat heaters, 3 door model

theres not many around auckland I dont think, Neil was a real good guy. Hes done alot of offroad certs aswell which is good and Im sure he will tell you when you go to get your cert but he used to have a samurai with a 4age.
Apparently though most of the cost is the cert plate itself which is pricey

wow thats good,
Neil Fraser in Auckland cost me $480 gst inc,

no I didnt contact him at all, I got my cert done like 6 months or so after the install. just tell him you got a wheel alignment at a proper place aswell.

Neil Fraser in Birkenhead certed my escudo with the calmini kit+body lift. No problems at all, only my early model one wasn't fitted with a brake proportioning valve, which had to be put on after he test drove it, went back few days later he attached the plate.

hey there,
I'm getting rid of a spare g16a 8v head I removed from my single point injected motor when i got a ported head.
Its on trademe to try sell, BUT
i would also like to swap it for a 8v bottom end if anyone is interested have a look at the auction.

thanks for that, I use sh16 to get to both those roads hence my confusion. hopefully a name change perhaps under new ownership, maybe another adventure in the name just to highlight their difference

so its the kaukaupa extreme park that has been sold? and the jeep extreme park in woodhill is buisness as usual? sorry, getting confused with the extreme parks and SH16

when upgrading a 3 door vitara's front brakes to the 5 doors does anyone know weather you need to take the 5-doors calipers aswell? or just the brake discs and use the 3-door calipers?

haha sorry that was dumb, its a vitara talking about the front springs. Thanks

hey there, Just wanting to know if anyone uses the stock rubber spring insulators ontop of the springs when they use spacers?? I going to add some 10mm spacers to my front, as the calmini springs have sagged, but my insulators were lost long ago. would it be worth grabbing some from a wrecker ...

hey everybody,
In the process of assembling a spare head i have that has been ported.
g16a 8v, vitara/escudo
what rockers go on which side?? 4 are marked 1-4, the others are marked 1-1
and does anyone know the torque settings for the head bolts? an

hey thanks for that, i couldn't find any info i was after tho.
my question is more about the same model swap, after a roll over or rust problems?

does anyone know the details of swapping bodies? im interested in knowing. If you buy a different body to put onto your existing chassis, does the numplates-certs-chassis and vin numbers belong to the chassis or the body? so if you swap your body, do you retain your current ' identity' or start ...

hey guys,

after reading this again I'm quite keen to do it to my escudo but this thread never summed up weather it was legal or not. don't want to get re-certed.

yea, just mine has the tube which is prob round 4mm wall thickness running through the whole length of the chassis tube extending about 5-10mm either side. then the steel angles 'L' piece's of steel have the diameter of the tube cut out of one of its sides and the holes for the hooks on the other ...

I have the calmini kit. its fantastic off road, on road it rides very very stiffly unless your loaded to hell. the height itself isnt the greatest part of the lift, instead the new front arms locate the front wheels forward in the arch a bit more to allow bigger tyres without trimming guards, also ...

mine has a tube section put through the existing chassis tube, then, two 10mm steel angles or 'L' shaped steel pieces welded into each end the inserted tube that is about 10mm longer each side than the chassis tube, then two hooks attached on both L brackets. then you just need to weld the two tubes ...

have a look on here

hey, yes Jake at calmini is very helpful and got my bit sent out to me no probs awsome.

just one more thing anyone else have the calmini kit on a 3 door with No winch, does it sit level? or higher at the back?

I would guess, and its only my guess, you could get around $5k for it. I've seen a few on trademe lately that are similar to less spec'ed go for slightly less than that. or keep the winch and tyres and sell for 4kish? just my guess. But if you part it out let me know, could be interested in that ...

hey guys,
can you get replacement heim joints for the calmini rear v-bar that holds the diff, any help would be great, and whats the best adjustment for the joint to be wound in.

also did anyone also flip their stru mounts with their calmini install on the vitara-escudo??
thanks

ok cool, thanks for that, yeah i couldnt even take it out, there no hexagon bit (sorry, don't know what that bit is called) for me to unscrew the sensor out, which makes me think they welded over that bit of the sensor.

I got some new headers put on my escudo, its the 8v throttle body injection engine, and it was a great improvement over the standard cracked ones. Three days later the engine light came on, and i did the diagnostic check and it thinks somethings up with the Oxy sensor, So i reset the codes by ...
