Day trip this weekend anyone?

Post by Brad.Jones »

Hi All,

Finally got my Sierra back. Now eager as to do some wheeling.
Anyone interested in doing a day trip either tomorrow or Sunday?

Yeah and look what else I found: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SUZUKI-VITAR ... 23197c9daf
Anyway great day out, love my lockers :) Even without the reduction gears it just makes things so much more relaxed.
Although I still managed to get the thing almost rolling down the hill. Pretty much the exact same situation I had the GV in at Warby - JUST WORSE!!!

That's a good buy if it has a loom and computers - not mentioned?

If not, it's going to be a bit of a headache.

If says "WITH WIRING COMPUTER"
that could mean loom, but may not

Ah yes, I missed that amongst the incomprehensible grammar/spelling.

If it's all there (both computers/whole loom) then it's a great price.

You'd need pretty good photos of the wiring. Vitaras don't have a separate engine loom - it's all one mess. The ECU is on one side of the steering column ad the TCC on the other, and the loom between the two is about 30mm round. :shock: It's not easy/logical to separate from the body loom.

hahaha - as much as I would like the v6 in the sierra I can't see it happening.

Seriously though if I did manage to get my hands on the above mentioned ebay item is it something like a mug like me can do?
I assume there is enough knowledge on these forums to help me hook everything up...
I was only just getting my head around fitting the transfer case gears :)

Assume that the motor comes with all the ECU, etc is there anything else that I would need?
What about efi fuel pump / tank, is there anything else I would have to take into consideration?
