You might get a few more views if you post this in the wanted section.

4.8 from a vitara or a X90 will fit and dont have the stupid air operation setup. Much easier to fit but you have to run manual hubs....


Ill have a look at what i got at home tonight but post may be a killer.

[shandy92]

sorry mate, i have 4.3 diff, if you need that pm me.

suzifour in sydney, worth a call

[Mugwui]

I've got one, but I can't remember if it's a front or a rear. I'd have to count the teeth.

[thesupervisor]

thanks for all the help have got one now
was $550 but its all cast iron now shouldnt break this one

[Built4thrashing]

What model was it from? just to confirm correct ratios.

[thesupervisor]

was from a gv not sure what year but the teeth count was right
only needed the pinion wheeel crown and housing so if anyone needs the diff let me know

[atari4x4]

why not just bolt it in complete rather that paying someone to strip the crownwheel & pinion out of it & build up another one?

you said the replacement one was steel & i'm guessing your old one was alloy... doesn't not make sense to be swapping R&P's.

[thesupervisor]

im not getting all this work done and skimp on some bearings in the diff
would distroy me finacially

[atari4x4]

ahhh, cool. how many kms were on the replacement diff?

[thesupervisor]

no idea was out of a wreck with no in sides
will post up some pics of the distroyed one next week

[Built4thrashing]

If ya only use the ring and pinion i want First dibs on the steel housing and 3rd carrier......

You have PM

[thesupervisor]

sorry but im using that:) only have the diff the inside bit
now have run into another problem ahhhh
the bracket for the nose part of the diff is different to the ali one and the guy i got the steel housing off cant find the bracket ?
any one have one lying around?

[Built4thrashing]

pics of what you have so we know its not that.

[thesupervisor]

its at the diff shop will have to get some pics of it tomorrow

[atari4x4]

which one out of these 2 is the one you're after?


the furthest away one is also the same as the normal Vitara ones.

[thesupervisor]

i assume its the closest one it only fits steel diff
i havent seen mine yet ive been dealing with diff shop on the phone
suzistore said they know what im after but dont have one

[atari4x4]

don't assume anything, steel diffs come in both styles of mounts.

what year is your GV?

[thesupervisor]

99 but not sure of the year the car came out of

[atari4x4]

99 will most likely be the early style of mount & if that's the case and that your pinion mount doesn't fit you're after the later style... but i'd double check first.

[thesupervisor]

ok so if it is do you have one forsale?

[atari4x4]

sorry, i've only got earlier style of mount

[thesupervisor]

so the picture closest is the new style and the top square one is the old style?

[atari4x4]

yep that's it

the change over was around 99 which makes it hard, the early one is also the same as any Vitara.

[thesupervisor]

just got back from diff shop
its the closest one in the pic above

[thesupervisor]

can get a genuine one from suzuki
$140 ex japan 4 weeks deliveriy time ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
