Check with some Grey Importers they may be able to bring them in
You could bring a body only in but you may have ADR compliance dramas

Hmmm... It says Front: Disk - floating caliper type, Rear: Disk - leading trailing.
Thats a bit contradictory.. leading - trailing is drum brake terminology

I bet they still have drums.

I bet they mean the handbrake (with leading/trailing shoes)is inside the disc. Like Volvo or Commodore.

From a 5 minute look on google I found there are hundreds of thousands of these Suzuki Caribian's in S.E Asia especially Thailand. I have already sent Emails to every Thailand Suzuki dealer/wrecker I can find asking about powersteering and A/C availability. I'll import a heap if the price is right. Anyone interested in a NEW RHD Sierra (not jimny or Vit)powersteer box?

I started a similar thread last year before i went to Thailand.

the prices on parts etc despite our dollar being stroger than theirs were pretty comparable to here.

From memory it was around $700 for a power steer setup. I drove around a few wreckers etc there and could not get any good prices.

I haven't had much luck finding a dealer willing to send from thailand, BUT I have had some success..... I can get brand new power steering boxes to suit a Maruti Gypsy from India...One source so far says US$96 (AU$125) each plus freight. Is a Maruti Gypsy chassis and steering box the same as Sierra? I would assume it is, but I have to be sure before I import a few thousand dollars worth of parts.

Yes the chassis and steering box are the same. I have one.

ALLRIGHT... so Maruti is the same..... I need a Suzuki OR Maruti powersteering box part number... Can anyone help? It looks like I'll be able to land boxes here for about $225-$250 each. Then you just need pump,brackets,belt and lines, which I will be able to get GENUINE. My contact in India can supply any MARUTI Genuine Parts and Accessories. A full catalog will come with my first order so I guess I'll be ordering again. I wonder how much is the same! Brand new carbies, starter motors, windscreen frames, tailgates etc etc etc !!! woohoo

According to the Suzuki Electronic Parts Catalogue, this is a powersteering box:

48600-70A50

If you can give me a Maruti chassis number I can check this is the right one.
