exhijet now suzuki carry project

Ow! Thought you meant annual! That's insane - what do they have against diesel?

it got picked up today by the new owner.
got the price i wanted but i must say i feld a bit sad when i saw it drive away.

Right - Thats it.

You're barred!!!!

What happened to the Nissan Vanette?

sold it because i could not finish the camperconversion and get it on cheaper roadtax.

it has begun  

Nice leather luxury, what are they from?

they are ment for an 45kmh disability vehicle.
i bought them for 100euro brand new from the dealership


...picked them up this morning... already fitted them in the carry
all i needed to do was drill 8 holes
verry happy

Oh man, what a beauty. I love the front of the suzuki's with the black headlight frames. There's no way that those'll fit on a 2000 Hijet, right?

thanx i love it to
i searched specificly for one with these headlights.

its got a suzuki 0.8 f8a engine with 37hp topspeed 115kmh
there are lots of options with other suzuki engines to swap
modelname from mine= SK408 and is called a carry
after that came the supercarry what was SK410 with the F10a 1.0 44hp engine

most parts are verry cheap and easy to come by.
wheels are 4x114,3 so some options there

i must admit it looks better in pictures
it has some rust around the back wheel arches an some dents left and right.
i am thinking about repainting it completly after fixing the rust.
matt white i think its going to be

Although I haven't seen a Carry in detail, I think you won't be able to fit those on a Hijet. I place some round headlights from a VW golf (first type) on my Hijet from 2002 and you need your friend 'the hammer' to make them fit There is just not enough height. So if you really want round head lights (like me) then it really costs a lot of work!


Sorry for the bad quality!

Hey Scotia,

Your carry looks very nice!! Can't wait to see more updates of your progress and also can't wait to see it driving around in my neighborhood

About the wheel size, (4x114,3)
You still don't have a lot of choice with this size. But at least it is much better then 4x110!!
I tried to find some nice rims for my Nissan Cherry (also 4x114,3) but found it not easy. I was looking for a bit retro look. Not the new modern stuff. I don't know what style you want?

I did found some 15" rims though, they were from an Nissan Silvia (1985)

i like retro style wheels to.
these are waiting for me... i will pick them up in 4 weeks


they look like this under a carry/rascal




regarding the headlights , there are early models hijet with round lights
would those plastic surrounding fit on the newer hijets?
that would be easier than to make it..

Ohw man, those rims look awsome!! I saw these underneath a Cherry once as well. Where did you find them? Probably not local? If you decide that you want something else in the future, then you've got a buyer right here

no not local
their not even in our counrty right now

i bought the carry without an mot..it was expired 6 months ago.
so it was a bitt of a gamble buying it  
i testdrove it  before i bought it and it seemed fine to me.
runs great.. only has rust on the arches left and right but for a 1986 van it looked in realy good condition.

i took it to my mechanic and told him to check the van and if he could he should give it a new mot.
he called me yesterday.. it past the first time without any repairs and my mechanic said it was in good shape except for the cosmetic rust

Nice!! Still a very goodlooking microvan

EDIT: did you put the weels on yet?

thanx no i am going to pick them up saturday.
it will be a 5 hour long drive.. belgium and back..
but fuck it..if you want something you have to get it.

i ordered some loweringblocks for the backside from the uk for it yesterday.
they will be here in a week
i am combining them with makitacoilovers in the front.

it was a 5,5 hour drive but worth it

Very nice, just done a similar thing, 5hr drive down to Southampton and a ferry across to Isle of Wight to see my friend Woodie to check he's not over doing it and to pick up some wheels while I'm down here. The roads down here are more definately suites to a Hijet!

NICE WHEELS !!!!

thanx guys
what wheels did you get raggy?

bought some new tyres for the wheels 155-55-14 nankang ns2

These will eventuall make their way onto the van

Very nice rims man! Love them! And I keep telling you that your Van looks very good! You find them rarely in this state. Hope to see you on the road soon

cool..nice wheels raggy..they will look good

when i got my new tyres fitted the guy at the shop (kentyre wierden) said : "hey i have got another customer who has the same van"
you can guess who that is i think

lowered it 5cm using the loweringblocks in the rear and makitacoilovers in the front
