Hi everyone I recently purchased a 1LTR '84 LWB sierra. And I have decided to part out my SWB NT. I am wondering if the spartan locker that is currently fit in my SWB will be able to transfer into the rear of the LWB?
I was told that the LWB has been upgraded to 93? model LWB diffs as they have larger rear drums? Not sure if this will make a difference.

Any in put would be much appreciated!

Hard to say. 93 model LWB is most likely a NT Maruti, so the diffs will be smaller than your SWB diffs.

Can you get pics?

[jim_dover]

I can put some pics up. What do you want me to take photos of?

The whole car, and just the diff housings.

The way I understand this is that your original veh is a 1litre swb and you have bought a 1litre lwb fitted with 1993 diffs. If this is the case and it is still NT then it must have maruti diffs which are same size as 1300 NT except that they are 4.1 ratio. So your old centres will not fit they will be too small.

Sorry Kas but I have to disagree there mate. Maruti diffs post 94 ARE 1.3L size. All pre-94 are 1L size and ratio. He says the diffs are from a 93 LWB which ( unless they are from the uber-rare WT LWB) are 1L diffs.

Thanks for the in put guys. I have put photos up on the rigs of auszookers thread

There is some photos there of both the car and the diffs hope this helps with my question?

cheers

Answer = No.

Your 86 NT Diff centres/ lockers are too big to fit into the 84 NT 1L housings.

BUT! You could straight swap the NT diffs into the 1L. Youll just need to sort out drive shafts and possibly rear brake line. ( can't remember) .

I've learnt the hard way,NT LWB centres won't fit into a NT SWB diff housing.

Really?

SWB and LWB 1.3 diffs are identical.....
1.0 diff housings and centres are different to 1.3 but again, swb and lwb 1.0's all share the same diff housings and centres.

[cairns27]

want33 Ive got a 89 NT LWB 1.3.

I sold a wrecked NT SWB drover to Ben off this site, and he gave me a NT SWB housing he had ,spent a day cleaning and painting the dash thing;fitted it the next day..... centre wa too big.

Drovers are all 1.3.
If a 1.3 centre didn't fit the housing you got it's because it is a 1.0 housing.

Mine's stock, previously owned by a little old lady.

89 NT 1.3 LWB Really?
That'd be good except Suzuki stopped making them in 88.

[BlueSuzy]

88 swb/lwb went WT. 1.3 diffs. NT flanges

[cairns27]

Yea mine's a bit different, I think it's fully imported.

I seen others with my dodgy longrange tank setup, DOT didn,t know what 3rd party I had to have.

In the end we called it a soft top station wagon.

Every single Suzuki product in Australia (Car, Bike 4wd, Outboard, Generator, Lawn Mower) IS FULLY IMPORTED! None of them are made in Australia

[cairns27]

Well if want33 is correct, QGR must have had a special lot imported.

I don't believe so. They were all modified locally before delivery to QR.
