After checking on here and google there seems to be conflicting advice on whether to bleed new lifters. I have in the past just smothered them in oil and slapped them in and half the time there doesn’t seem to be a problem. Last time i did it most came good pretty quick but a few where noisy for a f...

I pm’ed you my number. I am busy up untill sunday so for me sun-wed ok. When is best for you?

saczel

I used 4mm acm but 3mm could be used and most sign shops with a cnc router can cut you one cheaply from a damaged or offcut sheet if you take a usb stick with those files on it.

I have a file of the dodgy masonite cover that i made out of aluminium composite material i can dropbox and you can get cut over there. The threaded wing nut thing you can probably find on ebay.

saczel

That sounds fair. I am just waiting to see how much work comes in this week. I have been going flat out all year and dreaming of a few weeks off if the boss stops taking things on. I will pm in a few days.

saczel

I am still working this week and maybe Sunday or early next week i can come around for a look. I will pm when i know whats happening and see if i can borrow the work ute to bring it home. How much are you asking for it?

saczel

I am still looking for a clean straight bonnet worthy of a repaint.

saczel

Did you find one? I have a spare that i was told came out of a 94 gti which i bought 10 years ago when the original 95 gti one died. It worked fine but my motor liked the original one better so swapped out for a rechipped one. I am thinking of temporarily swapping it back in to see if it still works...

In case it matters getting stuff like that couriered would be too expensive and i still need one soon. Looking locally so thinking of calling some wreckers unless there is one for sale in Brisbane. All the clear coat is coming off now so it's looking crusty.

I tried to check my pcv valve a few months back and the hose was old and stiff and i ended up breaking the end of it off and the rest fell inside. After much swearing i had to take the cover off and noticed directly under it was the flat plate part, holes up the other end. Mine had some sort of drie...

saczel

How would that go around town? Heavy in the carpark but nice once your moving?

saczel

That was something i was not too sure about. I have a rusty 95 bonnet that i should probably do something about one day but thought if turn up at a wrecker thinking it was going to fit from a cino i might find it different. How damaged is it? Mine rattles when i lift the bonnet.

saczel

There is a guy on here who rebuilds them and says the seal is a hard to get size. I think he works for himself and is called Dr Suzuki or something like that. He rebuilt one for me and it hasn’t done anything wrong at all, no leaks. I had a quick go at trying to pull one apart but it looks like a sm...

saczel

If i have to pull the whole column out that will have to wait until i can get down to undo everything. Thanks for the info guys. I just gave it a good wd40 and blew it out for a while with air for the time being, at least it turns now if i jiggle the key a bit. The key beeper works after i tightened...

saczel

It looks like someone had recently been playing with my locks and suddenly the barrels are sticking like something jammed in there and the key won’t slide in like normal. The door comes good with wd40 but the ignition barrel is hard to turn. I have the covers off but can’t see any obvious way to get...

saczel

If a mk3 is the same and i guess it probably is are you after the cable end on top of gearbox or the fork on the throw out bearing? I have some excess parts lying around and a complete knackered box. I just also thought you might mean the foot pedal which i only have one that i am still using.

saczel

Online in the US i have bought from Rockauto and Carid for general replacement parts sometimes very reasonably priced for over here in Aus but the postage is s killer. Suzukird i have noticed from other posts sell some performance parts but i have not used them yet so can’t say how good they might b...

saczel

You could start with recalibrating tps and work your way through other things if it still plays up. In the technical section faq you will find the most common problems discussed. The tps has to be set right or your chasing your tail, lots of people have that set wrong.

saczel

Fuel pump on it’s way out maybe?

I have a spare set of low k driveshafts that need some new boots for a planned swap over. I had a search and couldn’t find anything and my usual suppliers are out of stock. Trying to source some if i can find original part numbers somewhere, last time i relied on what was listed i got the wrong ones...

2nd gear always gets abused so my guess would be worn selector hub and or gear.

It looked like they where on facebook a while back. I am not on facebook so cannot confirm.

Photos taken from workshop manual, other markets meaning not for europe, england or west germany according to the headings. You will have to stitch them together on a pc. The app on my phone got it wrong.

I am thinking a dodgy earth wire or loose harness plug on ecu possibly. Spray all the wiring plugs etc with contact cleaner. A good clean can't hurt.

I recently bought a bosch distributor cap GD814 on ebay that listed it as basically all g13b’s. It’s about 7mm too small dia but they swear to suit g13b, looks like the part number on the box is what i should have got. Do any g13b models use a Bosch cap because usually i can only get hitachi or fuel...

There are a few toyota forums online that you might be able to source some parts from and I do notice the occasional crown driving around which look to be in good condition so there is some hope still. I suspect most will be low k jap imports so maybe googling toyota clubs could get some contacts, I...

saczel

This being a suzuki site not too many people would be into the Toyota’s. I use one myself and found eBay the easiest for finding old model parts. I think there where some old crowns sold down here but postage to the US would be horrendous, best to try ebay in the US if there are any left.

saczel

You could have a good look through the technical faq’s, there are some old posts about gearbox builds.

saczel

I pulled apart 2 mk2/3 boxes to make another rebuilt box which is still going well but did notice slight differences between shafts and some gears. They looked to be interchangeable but found the secondary shaft/crown wheel gears had the same number of teeth but they had different angles of cut, tho...

I just bought another o2 sensor from Repco for $30 bosch brand, same one as the last time I replaced it about 100.000k and 12 years ago. Has anyone noticed if the dearer NGK and fuelmiser for around $80 are any better? I am trying to fix a surging problem that has slowly been getting worse. When I f...

saczel

You got me thinking about a intermittent problem i have and found this while having a read of the manual, again it's mk3 and maybe different. The section it mentioned goes on about the air gap and the step by step testing process. As i find things they are in this link.https://www.dropbox.com/s/u76c...

saczel

It appears mk1 Pinout and error codes are in the technical faq electrical section. There is heaps of accumulated stuff in there.

saczel

The main difference that could be of note is mk1 distributor uses a vacuum advance and mk2/3 advance is ecu controlled. The teamswift site could have better mk1 pin layout. The site has been down for sometime but there was talk of their archives still being available, I have not tried to look myself...

Suzitech use 2 straps with a little bolt to join them together. Seems to work ok, nothing ripped off yet after several years.

saczel

I haven’t had much to do with the ecu yet but this comes from my sf413 manual mk3, it might be similar.

Is it just me or are there more spamming posts lately? I think our forum has been discovered by overseas spammers.

For years i was putting up with the rear windows closing when i hit a bump in the road and decided to try and fix it for good. I could not get any of the 6mm screws on the rear pillar catch bracket undone even with some wd40 and a impact driver and FBH. It took a rattle gun to finally get them off a...

Normal swift’s and gti’s have the same part number for right hand drive over here. Left hand drive would obviously be a different number as they have a moulded section that angles up through the fire wall/floor and would not be interchangable.

saczel

I have been trying to see if new bonnets are available from panel beater suppliers in Brisbane or anywhere even on the east coast. I assume genuine is out of the question so a cheapish aftermarket replacement would be nice. I have bought them for other cars in the past without too much trouble but f...

Battery world or similar can sell new sockets with short tails, re using the old iffy ones will likely play up latter. I have seen old paddock finds where the wiring gets like a form of electrolysis and nothing will save that wiring. I personally like to solder and heat shrink any joins. Too many ti...

Check for these earth connections.

saczel

It might not be viable to get it from Sydney yet. Getting some courier quotes first.

saczel

Would anyone also know if a swift sf416 has the same bonnet as a sf413? I am guessing it’s just a number for the motor and most things are the same. The photos look the same.

saczel

Has anyone ever bought a bonnet for a gti off of superspares in Sydney? Their ebay add has them new for $156 but i suspect the quality could be iffy.

saczel

Pm sent.

saczel

I turn some notifications off so i don’t feel i have to immediately reply but i have it sending me an email to tell me i should check pm’s when it’s convenient. Less stress all round.
