hey, i made another thread but no one replied so ill be really specific.
will 5.12 diff gears in my v6 manual vitara bring the gearing back to standard? or lower? thanks guys.

it will be close to stock or a little bit lower.

i run 31's on my SV420 & the speedo is 100% accurate/

thanks for reply! that sucks i wish i bought 31s now, anyone want some less than 1000 k old bighornes?

I'd run them & enjoy being under driven... sorry I missed your other thread, need to add Vitara to you topics for it to get noticed by the right people. I thought it was another one of those can I fit 31's to my sierra thread with no lift & will low range be ok for rock crawling.

The GV gears will be a ratio very similar to what you already have, you want a front & rear set of 5.12's from a Vitara.

The rear will bolt straight in, they come in 2 different crown wheel configurations 10 & 12 bolt, both will bolt straight in with no problems... just remember what you've fitted if you want to install a locker later down the track.

The front also comes in 2 configurations, 22 & 26 spline, your CV's will be 26 spline. If you score a 22 spline front, when getting the steel front diff built, get your 26 spline hemisphere fitted to the 5.12 crownwheel & have the 5.12 R&P fitted to your GV steel diff.

My Sierra was undergeared, and I liked it.
Never got a speeding ticket either.
Doubt you would feel any difference 30 to 31 anyway.
Soon as I got a Vitara I got my first ever ticket

Underdriving would be ok but ive gotta take this rig all the way upto the nt start of next year so i want to get it as efficient as possible.

i see thanks for the useful intel ive already changed the gears and installed the steel diff, so i suppose i'll have to make sure i get a 26 spline front, to save pulling the diff apart beyond the point where ill be able to to put it back together again.

im thinking of getting a china front airlocker so if i do that does that mean the only bits ill need are the crown wheel and pinion, so then it wont matter how many spline the donar diff is?

thanks
