Cheers man :thumbup: Got the engine back in today and also welded a threaded bung for the 2nd O2 sensor into the downpipe with the spacer to hopefully trick it into thinking there’s still a CAT 🤞 Also swapped in a 15/16” GV master cylinder and servo to keep the 1” one for Blue and started fitting va...

Tbh it sounds like you are just doing too many short journeys. It can take quite a long time (30-45mins) just for the dpf to get up to temperature and then it needs the time to actually regenerate (10-30mins) It sounds like it would be better for you to have a petrol car if nearly all your driving i...

Oh man, well I’ve just sent you the details you wanted for the V5 so you can get it sorted!

Super tidy work! This is a really nice little build and being done the right way! Good move keeping this one over the Coily, the coil SJs have a lot of weaker parts and the suspension on them really isn’t that great 😅 If yours has the newer style gearbox then you can just buy a 413/samurai 5 speed a...

It is going to be a bit of trial and error to get it right though. It might be slightly different on...

Knocked up a new gearbox crossmember to lower the gearbox end 40mm as well. All blasted, primed, painted and bolted in. IMG_7096.jpeg IMG_7173.jpeg Mounts also had the same treatment and are back on the engine. Just been getting a few other bits sorted on the engine as well before refitting it later...

You can calibrate the speedos quite easily if I remember correctly. I’ll try to find the thread with it in.

How do you like the 16v vs the old 8v?

You could try this site, one of my friends recommended it to me and he’s used it to get parts from Japan for his Suzukis. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/mazda/bongo

Yeah sounds like it could just be a random production run for some reason it does only seem to be some tintops with the side vent, I’ve never seen it on a softop body.

Have you verified the vin numbers stamped on the chassis match the vin plate riveted to the body on both? There’s another member on here with an 84 sj410 tin top van with the offset scuttle vent so it’s probably correct for the one you just bought. Has your other one got rear windows? Could be a van...
