Why does it have to be koni You should try efs or tough dog to be honest there probably better... I have been doing a lot of reading on the subject over the last few weeks and I have yet to see any comment on any forum from anyone who has had Koni's and wanted to change them. It's not that EFS ...

They do but the quote I got from them seems pretty expensive. I was hoping to get a few more quotes.

Thanks.

Hi All,

I am having trouble finding a good price or any price for that matter on a set of Koni 82's for the 80 series. Any recommendations?

Cheers,
Hamish

Problem I have with Prado's is the 2.4lt diesel makes them gutless and the 3lt seems to be very prone to cracking. I would be constantly worried about pushing it. Did some work on a high country station a couple of years ago, we were using a 4.2 LC ute, coil front, and it idled up riverbeds and ...

No no not a prado, funny thing though, while looking for a picture to show you I found the first picture I have found of one just like it... It is one of these...

I want one...

So it’s a H ZJ-76.

I don't know much about cruisers but I am interest in getting one. I live in Christchurch, lately I have seen a white, 70 series cruiser, long wheel base. Nothing too unusual only it has coil springs in the front. It's like a 4 door troopy. Any ideas on what model it is? I can't find pictures or ...

I am looking for a straight, rust free (or close to it) 413 flatdeck in good condition with reg. Would pay up to 4k for the right truck.

Would prefer south island.

PM me if you know of or own one that you are interested in selling.

http://www.auszookers.com/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=402 That’s pretty much exactly what I would like to build. So the Jimny spring/shock mounts will fix most of the front suspension issues? If the axles/cv's are supposedly weaker then would swapping in a set of leaf samurai diff/axle a ...

Hi Guys I sold my Suzuki 1987 SJ413 a while back but am missing it now and would like to get a new one. I always liked the idea of getting a coil sprung SJ80 samurai and keeping it quite standard for daily driving. I was thinking about doing some basic mods like 30-40mm spring lift, 30” muddies, ...

Thank you very much, I asked the question on Pirate 4x4 and everyone said they were the same. Over there they might be all the same I guess.

I thought samurai diffs had a few inches over sj413 diffs but a few people have since told me otherwise... I am sure I remember reading it somewhere... What’s the story?

Hey guys, I have a Suzuki sj413 and a Toyota N1-t (1453cc turbo) diesel engine ready to put in it. I would like to install a top mounted intercooler to up the HP and keep the little engine and turbo nice and cool but I am unsure of what to look for in an intercooler. Does anyone here have any ...

I have a set of 413 diffs under the truck at the mo, but with a diesel engine build coming up real soon the 3.7 diffs are going to be handy keeping the RPM down a bit. That and the few extra inches of width will come in handy.

Hi all,

I am looking for a pair of samurai diff-axel (hub to hub) assemblies. Prefer leaf sprung.
Anyone got any for sale? Nelson to Dunedin including the West Coast ok for pickup or I can get them picked up in Auckland-Hamilton or Wellington.

Thanks,
Hamish.

What would you say was an early Prado?

Pretty much as you have said but IFS surf rear diffs are same size diff head but 3 inchs wider. You can get a kit to make solid front match. Coil prado are alo same diff head but rear is offest like the suzuki plus they are already coiled So are hilux or surf diffs not offset? I did not think you ...

What model Toyota axles should I be looking for? What are the lightest and shortest Toyota diffs/axles? I have decided I will be going Toyota to give me reliability and strength in the axles seeing as my zook is going to need to be a super reliable river bed machine. I don’t want to go any wider t ...

Thanks IcedJohnno, just the reply I was after. Do you know if he has a waiting list? Will probably get it done early next year.

Just brought a 1.5 diesel starlet, the future engine for my 87 413/Jimny1300. I was just doing some gear calculating, planning to go 33" tires (32 x 9.5 simex’s) and I will run them on 3.909 diffs and 4.15 transfer gears. Everything looks good gear and speed wise up until we hit top speed, because o ...

I order quite a bit of stuff from the states with my hunting and I have a few tricks up my sleave for cutting fright costs by about half plus I have a mechanic for a cousin who is also into his suzuki’s so I think I could get one here and installed for about $325-$350, so I will pass that up, thanks ...

The shifter handle did not turn around, it felt the same as when I got my transfer box stuck in neutral, the leaver moves in all direction there is just no gear there... How much to get a shifter bushing and I new locating bolt sent out? I need them by Friday but can deposit the money in your ...

The reason I go alone is because I hunt alone so 4x4ing alone is what happens, that ant going to change. But because I off road alone means I don’t take major risks ie I walk river crossings before crossing, I get out and checking mud and ruts before bowling on in but the idea is to become self r ...

After getting stuck the other weekend all on my own and having to walk for 6 hours to get to the farmers place I decided I need a couple more things to help me out, better traction and a way of doing self recovery. I have just picked up a set of kumho mud tires to replace the road tires I currently ...

UBZ wrote:is the shifter locating bolt broken? This combined with a worn top bush will cause them to jam in gear.

Yes I think you are right, I have done a bit of research in the last day and pretty sure it must be the shifter locating bolt and the bush both worn out or broke. Thanks

Its a 87 jimny, just an imported SJ413. Why would the transfer case bushing have anything to do with the gearbox and/or gear leaver? The transfer box is sweet, changing fine. Its just the gear box, and I have taken the top off the shifter assembly and I can change gear fine with a screwdriver but I ...

Went 4x4ing on the weekend and set up camp in my favourite spot beside the river, jumped in my truck the next day to drive out and it was stuck in 1st gear . It has been a bit sloppy in the gear department for a wile but it was stuck fast. I got stuck in some mud because I could not put it in ...

Hi Does the softtop have 6 stud wheels ? If so can you tell me the model number of the car and year ? Guys are trying to work out what they came off . Yeah, both of my Jimnys have/had 6 stud wheels, the white one was a "Suzuki Jimny YL1300" and my current softtop is a "Suzuki Jimny ML1300" both ...

Hi there Hamish, and welcome to the site. Thanks... Hey lneil , I was just having a good look around the site and found a picture of my cousins truck that you posted in the "Pictures please!!!" thread, a red Suzuki sj413 from Richmond, the picture was probably taken before he brought it but you may ...
