Just been into the local dealer (just opened 1/2 mile from work ;D). saw the new Jimny, same shape but new VVT engine with 85bhp ;D ;D and push button 4wd.
85bhp is more than my 1.6 8V! and it has more torque than the old 1328 G13BB too.

Have them here too. Pity they didn't put the 1.5vvt in instead of the 1.3vvt. Just a bigger stroke and you get 83kW/112bhp|removethispart|@6400rpm & 143Nm/105ftlb.|removethispart|@4100rpm Did you also notice that they have have new manual and auto trans as well as new t-case ratios. The old t-case was 1.320 High/2.145 Low and the new manual gets 1.000 High/2.002 Low and the auto gets 1.320 High/2.642 Low.

the auto gets 1.320 High/2.642 Low.
Thats sounds promising, thats 20% lower, is that stickless too? Trouble is autos don't really sell over here though so its probably not available. If it is its not likely to come up in the local breakers.

pics?

Some pic's of the el. T-case and stuff because there were some odd things about 'm:

Any idea's on what's on the first 2 pic's, it's the front driveshaft and rear diff, there are a few weird things here, find 'm ;)
-
IN the first picture it has a cv style joint on the transfer case, and the other things are the electronic actuators for the t-case, the funny thing on the rear diff is a vibration damper of some kind.
-
I wish I could find a way to get one of those in the states! A nice stripped down convertible model would be cool

That was fast, and that's also the right answer as everybody over here says ;D So you won yourself something.... ;D

Ever heard of importing one ??? Might want too look into that, shouldn't be too hard I think :-/
If I had the money I had allready exported some to the states and sold it to you guys ;)
-
As long as it meets all DOT and some other certification it can be imported, I think they will tell you if you can import it or not. Call the License bureau. Just make sure you don't get a right hand drive unit
-
Right hand drive would be awesome ;D I wanna get one just for the trails who cares about driving it around town how much $ do they start at in US funds anyone have an idea ???

Everything is always more expensive in the UK than almost anywhere else. The prices quoted are the official prices though and no one ever pays them (well maybe the occasional sucker). When I bought my Vit, list price was 12K, I paid 9K. When we bought my girlfriends Jimny the list was £10.5, dealer offered 10.3, I got the cheapest price from the web (9609.74) went back and showed them. Dealer said he could match it but would round it up to 9610 to 'make it a nicer number'. I said 9600 would be much nicer and better rounded - deal done. last week the top came down for the first time this year too ;D

They don't seem to do the new ones in the two colour metallic :(
-
my dad was trying to import bikes (motor that is) from england and the only way we could bring them in was used so they would have to put something like 100kms on them and ship them as used. don't know if it is the same for vehicles....but I want one
-
I heard a rumor that the Jimny's were carbed. If that is the case getting them stateside would be a monumental undertaking. They won't have an OBD II sensor port. No port, No import. Unless it has an OBD port to plug into and be tested you can't import a new vehicle. If it were 20 years old which would classify it as a classic then you could do it. I suppose if you could find someone overseas that could put EFI on it for you ($$$) then I think that getting one stateside is going to be pretty tough.
-
The article in the New Zealand 4WD mag about it, titled "Full of Surprises" lists it as having "four valves per cylinder, variable valve timing, multi-point injection" doesn't look like a carb to me.
I'll be looking to get one of these once the price is right. 2003-04 models had pretty good specs and they're going for around $NZ13,000 (list $19000). The new one has lower gear ratios but less ground clearance.

UK models have always been MPI, my GFs is distributorless ignition too. The Jimny name has been in use in the Far East for many years though so maybe they were refering to an earlier model like the Samurai.

In those places the Samurai was named Jimny indeed ;) I think that's what it is.

Thanks for letting me know that. My mistake. :P Looks like my info was wrong. You learn something everyday.

New sami is looking good! :)
