Hey guys,

Long story short, due to losing my job last Wednesday (thanks Abbott) I need to sell my Jimny and other toys. Its had a lot of money spent on it. Made some changes with a top mount trans cooler setup. It had 2 occasions where it spat the coolant out the expansion tank from extended highway driving on hot days. I fixed up some airflow issues i.e. moved the trans cooler/spotlights from in front of the radiator/condenser and it hasn't done it since. Also carried out compression test, teekay test, cooling system pressure test, which all were ok. Also carried out full cooling system overhaul as detailed below.

- white Z Series factory auto
- 175000 km's on body and auto
- liana M18 conversion about 18 months ago with 49,000 km's on motor. Have done about 22,000 on motor since conversion
- 15x7 black sunnies with Geotrac A/Ts about 75% tread and brand new spare
- cold aircon
- Sony HU with full bluetooth capability
- upgraded speakers front and rear with Fusion amp and small home hi-fi sub
- canvas seat covers
- Jimnybits 3" lift with ES1000 shocks
- Toughdog adjustable panhards
- rear shock relocation brackets
- 25mm spring spacers in front for bullbar
- tinted windows
- rear diff bearings replaced last year - centre in good condition
Jimnybits castor corrected radius arms
- ARB winch bar
- Jimny snorkel
- Tigerz 11 12000 winch with dyneema rope/remote control etc
- Custom dual battery system with large AC Delco 97AH for winch and accessories. Winch has engine bay mounted isolation switch/key
- AVM free wheeling hubs
- TD RTC steering dampner
- Uniden UHF
- major service about 8 months ago - swivel hubs fully rebuilt with Jimnybits shims seals etc, transmission oil, diff, transfer, engine oils, filters etc. Car is serviced every 5000kms
- Transfer out of auto 2012 model - ended up being waste of time as symptoms/problem was stuffed jackshaft uni which was replaced
- Jimnybits HD transfer case mounts and bushes
- Genuine Suzuki towbar (uprated model)

Recently done:

- New Great White LED light bar
- OBDII Bluetooth adaptor fitted for use with Torque App
- Rear gearbox seal
- rebuilt rear uni
- balanced jack shaft
- New front rotors and new bendix pads
- Radiator removed, rodded and flushed
- New Radiator fan clutch
- New hoses, thermostat, rad cap and coolant
- Custom front air duct under bullbar.
- Inlet and exhaust manifold gaskets
- Rocker cover gasket
- New waterpump
- New top mount trans cooler setup with IP55 rated fans and gauge in the cabin
- Trans service


Other bits included:

- 2 sets of new extended brake lines
- rear shock sliders (to fit)
- spare parts
- Other stuff I've probably forgotten

Things needed for RWC:

- Mod plate for donk. Easy to do just haven't had time
- windscreen washer reservoir remounted (easy to do)
- Rear diff pinion seal leaking

Have receipts for pretty much everything. Has a few scratches and small dents. Could do with a good cut and polish




Selling unregistered $6500ono which I think is more than reasonable. Might part out if enough interest.
Will sell for $5200 without LED lightbar, Bullbar and winch.

PM me if interested.

Wouldnt be driving it great distances as it still has the cooling system pressurising problem hence the price. I think its headgasket but the only way to confirm 100% is to pull the head off.

A low km M13a VTT is only $700-800.

Someone buy it, everything is there, just needs some finishing, or as docka said, a swap back to 1.3. Whatever the case it's good value at this price.
