hi some of you may have read my previous post, im trying to find a suzuki sj413 to use as a donor
now i have just come across a suzuki samurai 1994 1298cc but its also described as a sj413
after a quick google as far as i can make out the samuria is just the revamped model of the sj with no mention of wider axles etc.
Does anyone have any knowledge of these as to the differences of the sj and samurai?
Many thanks

To the best of my knowledge they are one and the same, Suzuki felt theneed to give the car a name rather than just
a number, a similar thing done by Land Rover whith the Defender name. In some marktets it's known as a Jimney.

The big difference between the 2 are the wider axles for the Samurai and other differentials. If you want to buy a Samurai I recommend the Japanese version and not the Spanisch version. The Japanese version is a lot better. Bigger drivings shafts and etc

Is it for off-road? If not then the Spanisch version will do

Not that your are likely to find one in Europe but is some markets the Jimny is 2wd.

X90 another odd ball, 2 seater available 2 or switchable 4wd

Yet another, from Toyota Australia - http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_reports/toyota-kluger-review.htm.

This started out with FWD only, but with 4WD as an optional extra. Seems to be nearly all 4WD now.

My friend had a SJ410, the Jimny is a later model than the Samurai but production ran alongside it. Jimny looks smaller and they were made after Samurai finished with a different engine and transmission.
