Hey guys, just got hold of a front steel diff for my GV. Now I have the 4.8 centres in it atm but am looking at putting bigger tyres on it, So am chasing down some 5.12's. Have found a pair but he is asking $800 for em. Not sure if this is reasonable or not haha. Any help would be great :D

$800 is waaaay too exy. I paid $50 for a complete vit alloy diff with 5.12s and $100 for the rear diff.

Guys is it possible to get steel 3rd member with 5.125's or are they all alloy?

Post subject:  Re: 5.12's

Don't think any of the GV's came with 5.12s except the SWB, but not sure if they came with steel diffs :/ Will be easier to find them out of a vitara anyway.

Have a browse through here. Has what came with what.

You're looking for a 92-98 EFI 1.6 either 5 speed man or 4 speed auto in 2 or 4 door. Or a 1.6l manual CARBY 2 door

5.12 = alloy

Post subject:  Re: 5.12's

Thought that might be the case. :(
So swap the ring and pinion into gv steel 3rd member and carrier?
Or can the alloy take a beating in steel housing?

Thanks for quick replies

swap it, those alloy 3rds are really weak

Haha damn thought that was the case. Thanks for the help guys

Post subject:  Re: 5.12's

go see Boss Differentials in Lonsdale to get the 5.12 swapped into your GV steel diff.

Haha cheers atari. Trying to get the parts for rowdee so I can have his 4.8 :)
But will definitely look em up since there down the road

Author:  Duebakka [ Thu Aug 22, 2013 11:24 am ]
Post subject:  Re: 5.12's

Haha new question guys. Can I buy a 4.8 ratio already in steel 3rd member so it's a bolt over swap and give rowdee my current steel bits so only one of our cars has to go into diff place?

Post subject:  Re: 5.12's

i think you might find a 4.8 in a steel diff out of a very late model GV v6 auto... most were alloy from memory, or are the GV v6 auto's 4.6? :?

Thanks mate. Ill do some searching for years.

Author:  Duebakka [ Thu Aug 22, 2013 11:47 am ]

Scroll down a bit but info is there for anyone else doin what I'm doing.

Post subject:  Re: 5.12's

you'll need the pinion mount too if you find one from a late model GV

Author:  Duebakka [ Thu Aug 22, 2013 12:05 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: 5.12's

Not 100% sure what that part is but I thought it would come already on a center?

I'm certain that info isn't 100% correct, Joe's SWB auto GV had 4.8's in an alloy front not 5.12's as listed below: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7632&hilit=gv+swb&start=1260

i'm sure that list of ratio's has been posted here before. :?

Quote:
1.6 GV man + auto = 5.125
2.0 4cl GV Auto = 5.125 Alloy diff
2.0 4cly GV Manual = 4.8 Alloy diff
2.5 V6 GV Auto = 4.8 Steel diff after 2003
2.5 V6 GV Manual = 4.3 Steel diff


if it's anything like the SV's the manual 2.0 4cyl would have 4.6's & the auto 4.8

depends on what the wrecker pulls off when removing it. they both bolt up the same, i think on the SWB you'll want the early model for sump clearance

Naa rowdee has the 2ltr Manuel and it has 4.8 and I also got a rear diff from same car in my current car and can confirm it is 4.8

ahhh, well then that must mean both the auto & manual GV SWB 2.0 4 cylinder have 4.875:1 seeing you got 4.8's out of a 5 speed & joe's swb also had 4.8's.

that might differ on the rareish GV LWB 2.0's.

oh suzuki why you so cuntfusing. :?

Post subject:  Re: 5.12's

Ok so hopefully I haven't missed anything otherwise I'm a terrible researcher haha but can anyone confirm I have all the parts needed to swap 4.8 to 5.125 in rowdee's car.
I have sourced these:
Complete steel diff assembly
5.125 center
And pinion mount

Once the diff guy has changed the ratios and put the diff together
Is it just a matter of bolting it in? Thank you
