Places to source parts for a Canadian Jimny was created by TokGuy
So, I`m rather new to Suzuki`s in general, but I somehow managed to find a nice fresh 1992 Jimny up here in Canada. Only 60,000 km on her. Had to trundle it through the Rockies at night, about a 500km drive to get it home, but worth it!
My issue is sourcing parts. Canada never got the Jimny, we got the NA Samurai and Sidekick and Sunrunner and such, but not the Jimny. It makes sense that nobody here stocks parts. And if I can`t locate some cheaper parts companies or websites soon, I will have to find a new home for her. So I was hoping you lot could help me out. Yokohama Motors is very, very pricey, and I doubt my local Suzuki dealer will be any better. I don`t really want to be priced out of being able to care for such a fun car.

We are primarily a UK based group but do have a respectable number of Canadian members who are much more likely to know of decent supply places though it could be a case of getting onto the internet and getting bits imported.

If it's a 1992, then it's all but identical to the samurai, its just a name badge?
Do you mean it is a late samurai that has coil springs as standard? If so then the only real difference is the springs themselves.

1992 is a leaf spring I think. Highroof models are rare in the US and canada. Malaysia this one? What engine? I had a 1985 highroof for years.
All or most parts in the suspension is the same as Samurai. Some after 1988 has wider axles but not sure of yours as there is no fender flares. Only half shafts is different anyways. If the scoop on the bonnet is original then this is might be a 660cc or not 1.3 engine.
I bought a lot of parts from lowrangeoffroad.com and trailtough.com in the US over the years.

I would guess a JA11 with the 657cc F6A engine. I'm not sure if the UK received any of these. If not, the fact that it is right hand drive would make me think it was probably privately imported from Japan or Australia.
As Lambert said you might not get too much information here. You might try Auszookers forum. I think the JA11 has a little bit of a following there. They might also suggest part suppliers.

I see from your other post that it is a 600cc Kei car. Most parts are still the same but you will find engine parts more of a challenge. Did Canada ever import Suzuki cappuccinos?
