hey everyone i had made a deposit for a motor gear box adapter plate from suzi sport on june 11
i rang them up one every 3 weeks or so and they still havent got the motor in has this happened to anyone else before from there derick says he should have one in monday but has anyone else waited 5 months for parts/ engine for suzi sports at lawton

[Reubs]

IMO, get your deposit back and contact the 'other' Brisbane based suzuki shop.

[shaunosj40t]

im gonna give him till next week cause he said there is one coming in
he has got everything i need bar the motor
5 months waiting for a motor seems like a long fuckin time

[atari4x4]

cement a gearbox to his driveway

[masterA]

Yeah....had the same dramas....took 5 weeks for my angle drive kit to turn up and i sent emails and called etc etc etc

I think he's abit slack when it comes to customer service but i wouldn't wait 5 months!!!!

[mrw82]

thats derek for ya. He'll say 'yeah its ordered, come back in 2 days...' 2 days later you can go back and he'll tell you its not in yet, he only ordered it this morning.
If he doesn't have it in stock i go somewhere else to buy it now. And even if he does have it in stock i can usually get it delivered to my door from other suppliers cheaper then i can from suzisport.

[shaunosj40t]

yeah im starting to realise he is abit of a fuck wit sorry for those ppl out there that like him but his custmer service is just shit to me im only 19
anyone know where else u can get suzuki parts from cause dad and i dont have a clue so if anyone knows other suzuki part dealers i would be very thankful if someone can tell me
thanks shaun

I get most of mine from http://suzistore.com.au/ just because they have a good online shop and I can just order it and it turns up nice and quick.

I would only go to http://suziworld.com.au/ (in vic where I used to be) if I broke something urgent and they had it in stock, as you cant order online (I drove there 20Ks with almost no clutch cable for example) even though they were cheaper much of the time.

[suzi-fan-22]

yer he was telling me airlockers are the worst thing to buy im only 18 but im not a complete idiot

[2stroker]

Exactly what are you buying and why ?

Firstly you said you "made a deposit for a motor gear box adapter plate " then you said "he has got everything i need bar the motor "

I am a bit confused with your post

[shaunosj40t]

alright sorry i ordered 1.6 ltr carby motor 5 speed gear box from a 1.3ltr and adapter plate for the gear box to bolt onto the 1 ltr tranfercase including jackshaft derick says he has everything but the 1.6 ltr motor he said he is waiting for a good one to come in but its BEEN 5 months so far and still hasnt got a 1.6 ltr decent motor

[BlueSuzy]

you could be waiting for 10yrs for a good motor and never come. All g16a's are going to be used and abused by now with high 200ish k's. You might be better off looking elsewhere. Take the other parts and run. Which should not cost much!! $200-300 for adaptor plate. $0-500 for a sierra box

How much did they want for conversion to a G16B efi? Much nicer motor.

[shaunosj40t]

dont know mate to be honest its $3500 for all the parts so yeah and dad doesnt like the sound of all the wiring cause he is a pussy so he wanted to go carby

Is that $3500 if you got EFI or is that what you are paying for the stuff you have not yet got.

[shaunosj40t]

for what im getting so the 1.6ltr carby motor and that
derick quoted me $3500 bucks

[BlueSuzy]

Put it this way, Ive bought 2 g16b motors with wiring for 1k each. From wreckers!

G16b's with wiring go for $800-1500(vitg16b $1500 from wreckers, Baleno G16b 1k from wreckers)
$200-300 for adaptor plate. BenT
$0-500 for a sierra box (i have bought 2 for $50each..on here)
$budget 500 for misc, jackshaft, exhaust etc


3500 you would want it all installed running driveout!

3500 is a rip if you are doing the work by the sounds of it .Quote: dad doesnt like the sound of all the wiring cause he is a pussy so he wanted to go carby

[2stroker]

What car do you have

[shaunosj40t]

yeah its used to be my grandads ute he past away so dad and i are doing it up at home by our selfs we can get a 1.6tlr motor with computer so all the electrics for about 1000 bucks so i think we might go with that

have a go at it yourself. any problems just post on here and someone will have the answers.

[2stroker]

Have you picked up anything form him yet or are you waiting for it all together, how much deposit have you paid.

Again mate what car do you have i.e. what year and is it a 1 litre or a 1300, obviously a lot more work in one than the other.

[shaunosj40t]

my suzuki is a 1981 model sj40t so trayback ute with the 1ltr motor and gearbox all stock its compeltly disassembled now where slowly putting it back together just need the motor first

[UBZ]

Brought a suzi sport angle drive kit for my mk1 Gti.

Tolerencing on the machining was rubbish . Then it Jamed and lunched the dog drive gear. Very lucky it hapened in the shed. Ended up having to get custom work done to correct it.

When I raised the issues about the design and quality I was told I installed it wrong........

15ft barge pole springs to mind.

i have put a $600 deposit down on the stuff still owe him $2900 im thinking of just getting the gear box adapter plate and jack shaft from him and get the motor from a guy my dad knows

[2stroker]

I would go get your full deposit back off him and source everything you need yourself.

You can get the adapter from Ben T off ebay delivered to your door for $200.

I can sell you a gearbox for $150 and the correct jackshaft that will fit 1300 5speed and 1 litre transfer for $100. (being an early 1 litre your transfer will be non switch so you cant just change the flange onthe transfer to suit a 1300 jackshaft)

You are also going to need to cut your mounts off the chassis and weld mounts from a 1300 chassis on. I may have some 1300 mounts here as well.

Then it is just a case of getting that engine of your dads mate.

[shaunosj40t]

ill see what my dad says and get back to u i live at deception bay north brisbane where abouts are u

[2stroker]

I live in North Brisbane at Ferny Hills, mate I will PM you my phone number and you can get your father to call me if you like, there are a few other unforseen factors in any engine swap.

[shaunosj40t]

all right sounds good thats 2stroker for ya help mate greatly appariated

[shep]

2stroker and his mission to turn everyone into a suzuki addict is in full swing

[2stroker]

Yeah Shep the more the better, I like the sound of this fella's project, lots of people have utes but not many are doing up their grandads car, you can't get any better than that. I say do it up themselves and enjoy the fact that it has family history. I would never sell something like that, I hope my kids are as sentimental with my LJ I built it originally in 1985.

[atari4x4]

still think a sunday night concrete gearboxing would make an interesting monday morning for derek
