My First Zuk

[prawn10]

Hi, my name is Shaun, I am 10 years old and I have just bought my first 4wd, a Suzuki Seirra SJ40. I saved all my pocket money and Birthday money to buy it.http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/shed/global_includes/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif
Can Anyone help me with information, parts, mods, ideas?????http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/shed/global_includes/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/lightbulb.gif( i'd like tomake it a soft top). It needs a bit of work & i would like to do it up so its better then dad's Hilux.
If anyone has got any spare parts they want to get rid of please leave a message.
Look out worldhttp://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/shed/global_includes/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/devil_smile.gif

Dad is assisting me with the build, as he is letting me use his tools and shed.:truck:

[Just Cruizin]

Good to see kids catching the bug early. Shaun, I take it's a hardtop, if you really want a soft top wait around and buy a softtop body, much easier. AS for parts, keep checking the for sale sections are buy things that are cheap, you got heaps of time. Do lots of search and find out how you want to set it up before you commit to anything.

Cheers heaps

Prawn 1012231

[bop smoo]

yeah mate that's cool, call anytime, if i can help i will, good to meet you all hope it all works out. sounds like you dad has some big ideas for the rig.
Come on guys give prawn10 a hand , i'm sure there is plenty of zook gear laying all around sheds in brisbane that will never be used again.
Help out a young guy that has a early passion for 4wding, he could be the guy helping your kids out in 15 years time.

[MISS SMOO]

Hey Prawn10...sorry I didnt get to meet you as I was at work...glad you liked my suzi..she's pretty cute hey?? hope the parts come in handy!!:)

[azza123]

i would like to do it up so its better then dad's Hilux.



it already is buddy!!!:waycool:

[GRPABT1]

I've got a 1.3 sierra motor that was going when removed with about 200000km's on it you can have for a dollar ;)

But your will have to get to townsville to pick it up.

[KillaMav]

I wish I was you!!!!!!! When I was 10 I wanted a 4wd. I was told NO. I had to live with a 3 cylinder diesel tractor instead. I still lifted tyres and got bogged.

Now I'm nearly 18 and own my maverick and I'm learning all the ins and outs about 4wding, but I wish I could have learn't at your age, you are very lucky. I would give you parts and help but I have nothing that would help you.

PUT YOUR ZOOK IN THE 4wdmonthly shed. I reckon it will get 10/10.

[OffroadZoe]

Hey mate how ya goin ur so lucky u got ur suzie at that age im 17 now and wanted one for about 2years and finally got my first suzie sierra soft top last week there awsome 4wds and will go any where u want them to go. well good luck with your suzie sorry i aint got any parts looking for some myself have fun buddy

[rustyzook]

[toohey23]

:drink: Thank you to everyone who has given my young bloke such great encouragment, he is 10 and loves getting in and having a go, he has saved all his birthday and chrissy money to buy this Zuk, and I am very proud of it, (he saves better than me) so keep watching cause when he and i get our stuff together this zuk will be excellent, just not sure bout the colour scheme, working on that!!!!!!:cry: , So thank you so much, so keep it coming.

GRPABT1, i would love to come and get that engine, will try to organise something soon, cheers, thanks for the offer.

1 Proud dad

Cheers
toohey23

[GRPABT1]

[toohey23]

:thumb:

[GRPABT1]

No worries mate, hope you can make good use of it.

[rustyzook]

http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p275/muz05/IMG_0183.jpghttp://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p275/muz05/IMG_0181.jpg

[rustyzook]

Toohey23 if you want a quick lift grab some metal i cant rember the size one of the other blokes on here could tell you, and make some 2" extended shackles
http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p275/muz05/IMG_0185.jpg

You might have some lying around i did in the scrap bin it cost me nothing to do it and about 30min to make and install

[GRPABT1]

Those pics suck rusty zook, you need a better camera lol

[rustyzook]

lol yeah everyone is telling me that, what do you expect for a $99 pic phone lol

[prawn10]

alth the pics are a little rust, i can still see the colour and spring hanger, the problem we have is the springs are so flat, we could use them as a spirit level, so need replacement first, aqs for making hangers, i have access to lots of scrap so it will come in very handy:waycool: . have just finished watching 4wd monthly old tassie trip, and pat talked about otis, wow what a weapon that is, made the big trucks look like they had nothing:truck: , please keep sending any little hints and tips, all helps,

cheers

[rustyzook]

my springs are flat to there the orignal springs they accutly bow down at the front because i bent the 2 front ones on a moonbi 4x4 trip but there fine flat, mine have lots of droop and plenty asmuch lift as the shocks let them! , just a helpful hint standard hilux shocks are still to long!

[MUDRATGQ]

Gday young fella greay to see your so keen at a young age if you want a bit more lift do a spring over an make some extended shackels on the old girl should give ya about 4.5 " lift although you will have to mod your stearing a little to make it work. Cheers i will keep an eye on ya thread an help out when i can heres a pic of my old zook with 3" lift am 31's on Cheers Mudrat 12826

[stets]

there aint alot i can do in the way of parts or ideas but i reckon ya got ya head screwed on right. if my 12 y/o daughter could only save like that. good luck with the build up, and i will keep watching this post, as you have struck a huge interest in my house

[rustyzook]

so whats new with your little pook?

[GRPABT1]

Yeah have you fiddled with the new motor yet? Post some pics ;)

[toohey23]

Sorry guys, there's not a lot been happening to the project as if been doing double shifts and just havent had time, or have just been slack.

will update soon, going to take body of chassis, any tips ideas, things to lookout for??:crazy:

[grimbo]

that is so cool that a 10 year old is doing this and top marks to dad for getting on board.

I'll have a look around my shed for any bits and pieces I may have lying around after I sold my Sierra.

When taking the body off look out for all the little earth wires etc that seem to be hidden away. also the fuel lines and brake lines have a strage habit of being zip tied by previous owners onto strange things.

[grimbo]

I also would suggest investing in a decent seat and a harness for the young fella. If he is going to be doing some driving etc on private propety then you want to make sure he is safe.

as to mods I reckon keep t nice and simple to begin with. get some 2nd hand mud tyres in a 30" size, some 2nd hand springs even some original spec sprinsg that someone has upgraded from and put a 2" body lift in to clear the tyres.

[GRPABT1]

Yeah I never thought of that before cause I didn't think you would be interested but My old springs, shackles and commodore shocks are just lying in my carport. Your mate could have had them, they need a bit of a clean up though.

[prawn10]

Well dad has stayed away from the fridge long enough to start and help me:drink: , we started removing parts from zuk, radiator, battery, air con, alternator and several other things, not sure but disconected them anyway,i love the rattle gun so cool, removed tyres with my mate Glen and put the13701

13702

13703

13704m on again, excellent:waycool:

[Magnat]

Top work prawn10...
She looks like she is coming along nicely

[welchy24]

Hey im 17 and just got my first Zook the other week its a 1988 Suzuki Sierra JX . I am not able to pst pics up yet, but i will do when i am able too. It runs well and its im the my shed now being worked on. Im putting 4-1 extractors in it with a 2.5inch new exhaust carnt wait to see how she goes with that on.

[rustyzook]

good on ya mate! out of intrest what are you doing with the old motor?

[prawn10]

it is a turbo 660, but its dead thats why its coming out.:cry:

[GRPABT1]

You could always use the turbo on the 1300.... would spool up really quickly.

[rustyzook]

yeah thats why i would buy it if its forsale for the 1ltr

[grimbo]

the turbo 660 is a great engine in a Sierra. We had a guy in our club swap one from a Cappucino into his Sierra to replace his dodgy 1.3. Awesome engine combined with his gearing and 34" tyres

[rustyzook]

yeah i want one cause i recon i could get around the "NO turbo's for p'platers so we can pu$$y them up" law cause its only a 660 in a sierra lol

[grimbo]

unfortunately they are next to impossible to get engineered due to emissions not meeting spec without documentation which is near impossible to get

[rustyzook]

where there is a will there is a way lol, the zook dosent have to be regoed again if i can get another toy, chances are it wont pass again anyway

[welchy24]

This is my Zook with my new 2.25inch exhaust, 4 - 1 extractors and a 2.25 intake muffler with a 4 inch outlet. Its a straight through pipe soo she sounds pritty nice.

[Soul Smith]

This is my Zook with my new 2.25inch exhaust, 4 - 1 extractors and a 2.25 intake muffler with a 4 inch outlet. Its a straight through pipe soo she sounds pritty nice.

Sweeet. Now all you have to do is cut the springs and dump it on it's arse. Maybe instal a phat sound system and re-do the interior, and possibly go for a blue pearl purple respray!

wait, 4wd forum..... scratch that, reverse it :p ;)

[Magnat]

You can still go the Sound system... Just make sure that the Amp and enclosure are removable for when you have to take the recovery gear.(or make them Marine Grade lol)

[welchy24]

I admire your use of sarcasm. This is not just about 4wding. That why people sell parts etc.

[Magnat]

welchy24... Most people buy a 4x4 to go 4x4ing...
Yourself would have to admit, that a 4 inch tip is a little ricey?

The Extractors, Sure they are a great Idea, they have a function to release prescious kw from the constricted Headers normally fitted to the Suzuki motors but a 4 inch tip is gonna cause a head ache not only to keep clean, but when doing river crossings it opens up a clean path for water to enter the exhaust and rust it out...

So I can see why Soul Smith went with the Sarcasm..

If you don't intend on going 4wding and just gonna keep it for a black top runnabout then the mods you have done are cool..

[welchy24]

LOL yeh well the muffler was only $50 thats why i got it and my mate whos a machanic said it will go good. The extractors i put on give it like 20% more power than b4 they were on.

I havent been 4wding yet because i havent saved the money for muddy's and bullbar etc just equipment i will need to go.

PS i know the 4 inch tip thing was over the top, but it is qwit funny :truck::waycool:

It is mostly gunna be a runaround town car but i will go 4wding sometimes but not often cause i am still at school

[Magnat]

Thats cool.. I only have Light truck Tyres on mine but I still hit the clay.
There Brand new So I will use them and then look at getting them replaced.. the tread is pretty chunky and does good in mud...
(my Amp blew up so I have to wait a little while to get it replaced)

[prawn10]

I took the engine out, this week, wish dad would help instead of pointing, some of these bolts are so tight.
Welchy24, cool Zuk, would love some more photos of engine setup looks good, love the extractors, dad want to put a 2inch stainless exhaust on mine, he is making some stainless rock sliders, bullbar, and rear bar, should be nice and shinny:waycool: . he put blue neon inside my zuk, well it a fluro wrapped in blue clear plastic.

I want to fit the turbo to 1300 but will have to look for 4cylinder turbo manifold, as the 660 is only a three cylinder.
13907

13908

13910

I had to introduce security, this is my dog Toohey, I will show some more soon, school hiolidays:waycool: in two weeks so will hound dad to do more.

[OffroadZoe]

mate u dont need muddies or a bullbar to go offroading i havent got any them and i go 4wdrivin nearly every weekend and it does just as good as any modded up 4bs :crazy:

[GRPABT1]

Good to see this project going somehwere Prawn. What the plans for a new engine? Are you going to use the one I gave you? Will you rebuild it or try it as it is?

[prawn10]

I will give it a try as is, dad said maybe knock the head off and check it first. :thumb: next we are taking the body off the chassis, to check it out. then the rebuilding starts.

[welchy24]

Prawn10 i do recommend getting some extractors. There is a guy on ebay who sells them cheep just sear for " Suzuki Sierra" and you will find them. They definalty give it alot more power and pickup. There is extractors for both 1300 CC and 1000CC
Nice pics by the way

[GRPABT1]

I will give it a try as is, dad said maybe knock the head off and check it first. :thumb: next we are taking the body off the chassis, to check it out. then the rebuilding starts.

Yeah that's probably a good idea, at least give the oil a good flush and re-fill and give it a good dousing with the carby clean in all the ports and intake.

[Luke69]

Hey PRAWN10,

Just spent awhile reading your thread. Cannot Believe your only 10, and own YOUR own fourby! Im 15, and love the forubying scene, i have just taking our old 60 series off dad, but dont plan to do too much to it, as im a NISSAN fan! Funny that, a NISSAN fan driving a toyota :confused: .
Good to see you doing work on the old ZOOK!


GoodLuck with it! http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

[rustyzook]

haha nissans hey, well ill try and pull a toy out, but a nissan is a bit to heavy for my zook .... nar im just messin lol,..... welchy24 take your suzi off road how it is and give it a run get used of it before you put muddies and a lift, if you can drive it now lifting wheels and get used of it then do the mods, the first time i drove mine off road i had bald ht's one on the back had wire spitting out!!! PRAWN10 im loving your zook keep it up, i would love to see that 1300 with the turbo! what colour are you going to paint it? i want to respray mine to ford sandstone silver! i have a fairmont that colour i love it its a dark yellowish silver its yummy! its about $80 a ltr you need about 4 to do in and out! then clear it up buff and poloish then go and scratch it all off hahahaha keep it up mate!

[welchy24]

Yer haha. I might be going up the victorian mountains ( hotham) with her. It not too hilly the spot we are going, we are picking up our stash from when we went hunting deer in there.:thumb:

[rustyzook]

what mountans?

[welchy24]

Well living in Tamworth its pritty flat out there. Mountain eg Hotham Kosiosko etc.

[rustyzook]

its not that flat out here! any way when you go try to get some wheel lift! get used to your rig!

[toohey23]

I can not believe the number of people who have checked out this site, and the wonderful things people have suggested and offered, Thanks.
I only hope in years to come that the next generation can help each other out, as every one has here, Cheers
My father showed me so much, he would let me have the odd day off and go to work with him, it was so much fun, getting greasy, pulling stuff apart. So it is fantastic that i can now show my young bloke the same, and he is so keen, to keen some days.
So cheers to all:drink: ,who have posted on his web site.

[rustyzook]

well most likely he will be one of the few in his time to lend a hand to us old blokes and jump in and help out the young fellas! its good to see some one at such a young age getting into our sport and keeping it alive in the younger gen.

[GRPABT1]

[GRPABT1]

They're not dents they're character marks :D

Hey Prawn have you or your old man been on Outer Limits 4x4 Board :: Index (http://www.outerlimits4x4.com) and hit them guys up for parts? Some of them can be a little cranky/whiney sometimes but I'm sure some have parts coming out their earholes.

[rustyzook]

haha yeah or as homer would say "speed holes" lol

[Magnat]

I mean when most kids are into Skateboarding and BMX'ing.. Prawn10 has gone for the 4B.... Great choice!

A Skateboard can't go where a Sierra can!!!

[stets]

i wish i could have the same relationship with my kids that you 2 have when it comes to 4wding.
prawn, those really tight bolts ya dad makes you undo are designed to build character, i think you got plenty, so dad, give him a hand eh, at least do them up a bit tighter next time.

[rustyzook]

[MUDRATGQ]

1526415265

[GRPABT1]

LOL dingo's are great for donuts :D

What engine are you going to run? The one I sent you?

[Magnat]

Looking for an Update prawn10 just to see how it is all going ??

[rustyzook]

prawn10 dont get the ebay 2" lift there cheep and crappy

ARB have 2" old man emu lift springs and ubolts for around $450 then your get commodore rear shocks and put in the front and hilux rear shocks in the rear with a A setup

[GRPABT1]

There are better shocks IMO but those will do for cheap but the OME springs are good.

[prawn10]

well not much has been happenin, as dad has been workin to much:drink: , says he is busy, hope to remove the top soon, we went to suzisport at springwood, brissy and they have a 2" spring and shock lift kit for the suzi for $850 complete, so saving for that, dad said if i can save for suspension he would shout me a gearbox and short shafts, which would give me the complete running gear, and with new suspension, will be awesome, suzi the ultimate......:waycool: , almost there, only need a little more, and done, will have to sell everythin, maybe my dad will fetch a few bucks, anyone interested????? oops need him to help with rebuild, bummer.

[jmzuk]

Hey Mate, Great work, your a lucky man. I had to wait till I was 32 for my 1st zuk(boo Hoo). Late bloomer I suppose.

Mines in the garage in half a million pieces at the moment waiting for me to get off my arse and finish it (anybody giving away a free mig welder BTW? lol).

Let me know what bits you need, I may have some things lying around.

Keep up the good work. Good idea to keep ya dad around (till your finished it away), he'll be good for loosening the tight bolts and lifting heavy things.

Cheers

[prawn10]

jmzuk

unlucky you had to wait so long for a great no excellent car/4wd, do you have a 5 spped 1.3 gearbox that you dont need:D as i so need one of those, GRPABT1 was so great to give me a 1.3 engine and now need a gearbox and short shaft to suit. trying to get dad to take my zuk to my great uncle's property at stanthorpe so i can bash around, but dad says "It dont got a motor" so guess we not going. let me now what spares you have, doing good so far, as most parts have been salvageable so far.
as for lifting heavy thing found grandpa's block n tackle.

[Thanh]

Hey prawn 10, hows the progress on your zuk?

[GRPABT1]

Yeah how goes it mate? Sourced a box yet?

Sorry I haven't replied Mate, been flat out the last few weeks.

I don't have a spare gearbox. I'll keep an eye out for one.

How's it going anyway.

Cheers

[GRPABT1]

Yeah I'm good mate, taking my zook out for the first time in ages next weekend, the itch is getting real bad lol.

[prawn10]

Well its school holidays and we are heading off fwding around Stanthorpe, but next week we are taking the body of the chassis, and starting to work on the running gear, also cleaning up my new engine:waycool: ,cheers grpabt1.

[hooki]

[GRPABT1]

Sad to here of your loss mate, I know how you feel Ironically my Grandfather died on fathers day :( But alas they are in a better place now.

On a better note good to hear you found a gearbox.

Ahhh, parts. There aren't enough.

I met a guy who had at least 8 zooks, all narrow tracks, would he sell me one, hell no.

It sucked.
