I recently purchased a VERY expensive 3d printer over the summer and was wondering about tackling a cold air intake for the suzuki samurai. I will use ABS plastic which melts at 275 degree C, so I dont think temperature will be a issue, but was wondering what you guys thought. Will be for a 32/36 weber carb, and intake will mounted next to the radiator on the grill, or any other place if you have any ideas
Restoring my 88.5 samurai and looking for jx seats in decent repairable condition. Searched around but no luck. Help?
I know I also need new shocks and potentially a drop pitman arm, but is there anything else I need to replace or that I should think about? I do plan on getting 235/75/R15's once I am done
Hey Peeps

I have the gm alternator upgrade Has 2 wires red and white I have noticed that my alternator is not charging and my dash light is not lighting up and I have read that this will cause the alternator to not charge. Im going to replace the bulb but until then is there a way to bypass the white wire as it's my daily driver and I would prefer to not have to charge it every night until then. Thanks
Hey everyone,
I’m having an issue with my 1986 Suzuki Samurai (1.3 engine) and would appreciate any insight. Recently, I’ve noticed a knocking sound from the engine when I press the gas pedal, but it disappears after driving for 5-10 minutes. Here’s some context:
1. I recently changed the engine oil and filter, using 10W-30 oil.
2. After the oil change, I took the car on a drive: around 1.5 hours on the highway, followed by 1-2 hours of light off-roading.
3. During the off-road part, the oil warning light briefly came on. I stopped, let the car cool down for 5-10 minutes, and the light went off.
Does anyone know what might be causing the knocking sound? Could it be related to the oil weight, the extended drive, or the oil light issue during off-roading? Any suggestions on what I should check or investigate would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
Just bought this sweet little samurai in New Zealand. Plan on fixing and tidying it up 😊
Hi, does anyone have an idea of where I can buy a hardcover with Sunroof and sliding side windows for the Suzuki Samurai, with international shipping, please?
I was doing a dash swap and trying to clean out some awful wiring from previous owner and I cut this yellow wire thinking it was from the added temp gauge turns out it's in the harness and now my dash lights don't work it looked like it was tacked into a few things any idea on where this goes and how to get my lights back on
I've seen people turbo-charge the SJ413s but I can't seem to find anyone talking about a turbo-charged SJ410
Hey guys. I have an opportunity to buy this Samurai for 2-3 hundred bucks. But I dont know anything about it. Can you atleast tell me which year it is?
Does anybody have a clue of what my problem could be? This grinding noise happens when I try to go forward. So far reverse seems to be ok. Facts and Things that I've done trying to solve this issue:
87 samurai New flywheel New clutch / throw out bearing and all New ujoints Checked clutch cable Rebuilt transfer case Rebuilt transmission
Most of those things I had been postponing doing them. I already had the parts and everything but I never did. When this started happening, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to do them all at once and see if any of those things were the problem. Obviously it was not... Lol I just cannot for the life of me figure this out.
Any help is appreciated, thanks guys

Hey all,
My 88 samurai has two intermittent electrical issues.
I’ve checked the fuses that are there, and the battery and nothing seems off.
Any ideas on what to check?
TIA!

I’m not sure if it’s just my Samurai but when the air is super moist my steering wheel gets sticky and flaky for some reason
Hello, I’ve had my Samurai for a long time and have done a lot of mechanic work, but I’m kind of stuck on how to remove the lower nut for the intake. It’s the second one in from the bottom right. the shape of the intake really gets in the way of putting a socket on there even a swivel socket. Only thing I haven’t tried yet is a clawfoot set up. Thanks.
