Various Vitaras will give shorter gearing...
4.6:1
4.8:1
5.12:1
Much easier to fit transfer gears before you start messing with diff ratios though.

Just a quick dumb question, do diff gears do anything to correct speedo error due to bigger tyres or do they simply make it worse still.

diff gears do alot of other good things, but if you have a standard t case with 33's and fit 5.1 diffs your speedo will be well inside the 10% ADR compliance rule.

I have no idea of what ratio I have in my suziblu, no idea of speed i was doing with the 31" tyres I put on her, So I checked with a GPS, I cannot tell the diff tween the speedo reading and the GPS, if there is a discrepancy, its that I may be a k over speed at 80k

No tacko so no idea of revs.

X-90 auto and imort SWB vit has 4.6:1.

This will allow you to run 32's, and 1 litre transfer with near stock speedo readings.
