Cheers Matt, glad you've enjoyed the read and I hope you enjoy your Jimny as much as we do.

I know you guys like to see a bit of Aussie countryside.
Had a weekend in Stanthorpe, climbed the Pyramid in Girraween National Park.

Nice pictures buddy.

I bought an M18A VVT two weeks ago, started prepping it ready to swap. Really looking forward to the huge jump in HP and torque.

Liana oil pick up on the left, Jimny on the right



Liana dipstick left, Jimny on the right



Engine seems pretty clean as it should with 68,000 kms



Jimny oil pick up in place



All set except for idle control thingy and back of water pump, these will be scrounged from the 1.3 when it comes out. Also I need to drill the Liana rocker cover to accept the Jimny dipstick and blank off the Liana dipstick hole.



So this weekend I'll prep the rocker cover and fit the Jimny crank pulley which I have a spare of.

1.8L is in and running. Really happy with the way it's running and the increased acceleration and torque, towing the camper will be so much easier. My Jimny will be going through some changes with more of a leaning towards touring.

bet it goes like a rocket lol!!
