Details to include when you ask for help

14 Upvotes

When you post asking for help with problems, you should let us know what your rig is, and if there are mods, or engine options include that information.

The solution to the problem will frequently depend on what engine and options you have.

This was how the clutch came on my $500 Suzuki Carry. Only 44,000KM. No idea how the previous owner blew it up this badly 😂

In dash speaker installation. Returned the first set of “compatible” speakers. There was no way the covers would go back on. Modified these and so far the kickers have been great

Been messing with this Amazon knockoff CV carb that came on my 2003 Kia Metro and think it’s just time to swap the carb out. Any good recommendations for carbs? It’s an 800cc I3 engine

Importing Last minute JAX transport delivery change

Upvotes

Ive heard a few horror stories about folks not being able to find a delivery service to pick up their vehicles in port before they start charging fees after 10 days. My broker recommended a local. Somewhat decent communication up until the vehicles arrival. Could not tell me when it would be picked up or the adjusted charges for "fuel and equipment" since it was first quoted back in early June. Im fed up because I want this thing in my driveway yesterday. Its been a long journey. Ive had a few vehicles delivered by 3rd party transport and it's seamless. Morale of the story is that it will be picked up tomorrow and here in 2 days. I recommend dealing with services that are in the same state and will contact you directly via phone call. Feel them out and ask for their website and reviews. Lots of scam companies out there so beware.

Mechanical Driving him home

9 Upvotes

94’ Honda acty. I live about 450 miles from the nearest port, instead of delivery I am planning on driving it home, how can I ensure the best bet of getting home? My broker is getting a full inspection done in Japan before boarding and I’ll look things over at the port as well. What are some main things to look out for? It has 11k km and is very clean on the outside
Edit: looks like a bad idea, so I’ll probably drive my dad’s tundra to go get it and rent a trailer while up there, what size trailer worked for everyone else?

Anyone have the size and pitch for replacement plugs (?M x ?P) or know where I can get replacements domestically? Drain plug has a magnetic insert, fill plug does not.

Mechanical Cold start/block heater inquiry on a DD51T Carry

Upvotes

I'm looking for advice on adding a block heater to my 91 DD51T Carry and hopefully solving my cold start issues. I live in the Midwest and our winters aren't usually super cold, my truck however does not like to start when it's below 35°F (2°C). I'm trying to figure it out before it gets cold and decides to strand me at work again.

Last year before it got cold I replaced the carburetor (the choke was sticking), starter, battery, and added one of those sticky pads to the oil pan. The truck still seemed to struggle.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Truck specs: DD51, F6A engine, 4 speed manual, tune up done about 4 months ago (plugs, wires, coil pack, distributor cap, new vacuum lines), timing -5° TDC, air/fuel ratio is a bit on the richer side, idle 950-1000rpm, valves lash was set to 0.10mm on a cold engine.

Good news! Just won this auction! 2010 carry

Post image
202 Upvotes

Super excited. Just found out I won this auction (through B-Pro), it’s a grade 4 with only 31k km. No AC, but that’s ok. Maybe I’ll retrofit one day if I can’t survive.

Expected to arrive in 8-9 weeks, lands in Vancouver, so I need to figure out how to get home in Ontario.

Open to suggestions if you know someone to transport. (B-pro says they have a contact and usually charges around $2100 hoping for cheaper alternatives if possible).

Good news! I'm hosting a Kei Truck Wiki to try and help collect part and specifications for all Kei models

Thumbnail keitruckwiki.com
46 Upvotes

I was going to start some personal documentation for everything I'm learning about my 1999 Hijet and then figured it's not as useful if I don't make it available for others so enter a kei truck wiki page. I know there's a site out there already trying to be a wiki but it's 100% AI built and has no actual way to edit/contribute. This is set up with the same engine that runs wikipedia so there's no risk of someone's AI project dying.

Like all wikis it's completely free, you just need an account to edit, but I do have a donate button at the bottom of the main page to help with some hosting costs if you end up finding it useful.

The goal is to just get stuff in one (eventually searchable) spot since forums are great for discussion etc. but not the best for just a repository of info. My hope is that people can just start writing/contributing and I can go through and organize - here's an example of a page: https://keitruckwiki.com/wiki/Hijet_S210P

Maybe there is a fantastic resource already and I'm just not searching properly? Anyway - would love to hear some thoughts on what is useful!

Spotted on a walk. Looks like it was loved. I think I’ll knock on the door and ask to buy the rims. It’s a Mitsubishi.
