We've all heard about the Eaton E-locker, a fully open diff that locks electrically (ie without an air line connection or compressor) to become a full locker. We may also have heard of the Eaton True-Trac, a torsen style LSD that never wears clutch packs or goes out of adjustment. Eaton, however, have not made these in Suzuki-sized applications, instead concentrating on mainly US-market domestic 4x4s. https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/products ... tials.html An Australian company, Harrop Engineering, have taken Eaton centres and machined new housings to use in a wider range of vehicles (ie Japanese + UK), but there is still only one Suzuki application, the larger Vitara rear diff: https://www.harrop.com.au/shop/4x4-perf ... itara-rear. Meanwhile, in Japan, an engineering company has taken Harrop's lead and created a unique locker that is not covered by either Eaton or Harrop, and it's for the 26 spline small 10-bolt diff in the Jimny!! Provided you also find a 10-bolt R&P (4.09 or 4.3 ratios), you can fit this locker to a Sierra! . But what is really cool is that this locker COMBINES the Tru-Trac LSD centre WITH an E-locker! .Pricing is still a bit vague with the Jap Yen exchange rate being a bit poor, but with these lockers priced at 108,000JPY, they work out something like AU$1500, plus GST when you sneak it through customs. Sounds a lot, but it probably going to be just under the price for a Harrop e-locker for a Vit rear, but with the added benefit of an LSD! |

Meh. Is going sideways around corners worth $500 more than an airlocker? Is not squeaking tyres on u turns worth $1350 more than a mini spool? |

I actually turn my airlocker on, on the road when it's wet & slippery. The predictability of having it locked is generally preferable to spinning one wheel with my driving style (read: aggressive). It also massively impacts the efficacy of engine braking. If the price between this and air were similar you might consider it, however, you still want to buy a compressor for airing up after going offroad, so the airlocker is almost always going to win on price. |

hey Aron - that crew I put you onto that make the zook portals also make a zook [cable operated] locker, iirc, the cable they use is a Maruti clutch cable, to make it easy to find spares if needed. |

More write-ups on these, if you can excuse the Japlish translation. Install looks like E-Locker design features: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/20 ... /41948812/ Video of the LSD in use: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/20 ... /41994367/ |
