lol

LJ are 2 stoke engines - starting at the LJ10 (359cc), then 20 (more horsepower, same engine), 50 (539cc) and finally the LJ80 (797cc).

SJ's (Sierra) followed the LJ and superceded it with 1L and 1.3L engines which also gave us the NT and WT (although theres a crossover of 1.3L NTs in 1988)

And Holden's Drover came out as a NT 1.3l around 1985 or 1986. Not sure about the Sierras of the same vintage.

Alien, that is a rather poor and generalised attempt at explaining it....! :? , yeah and wrong about the 2 stroke part too :lol:



LJ
in Australia we sort of got 3 versions (more, but some are too quirky to matter right now). LJ's run tiny drivelines, and centred diffs front and rear.

LJ50 (3 cylinder 2 stroke, very narrow track)
Image

LJ80/81 (4 cylinder, 4 stroke 800cc, narrow track)
Image

LJ80/81 Stockman (same as LJ80/81, but with stronger axles, bigger bearings, and different front clip)
Image





SJ (Sierra)
square body, offset diffs, and loaded with luxury features!!!



1Litre (steel vertical bar grill, 1L motor, lower gearing, narrow track)
I don't have a picture of a 410 :oops:



NT (plastic grill, bigger sized 1.3 diffs, 1.3L engine, narrow track. Same as Holden Drover).
Image
(this car has a 1Litre bonnet without a hump though...)


WT (wide track, small cosmetic difference over previous)
Image


Coily (coil suspension, chain transfer, bling styling..., sort of wider track)
Image[/b]
Wheeling on completely wicked angles, without even looking stable.

The primary difference, the LJ10 was air cooled and the LJ20 was water cooled.

In the Suzuki Club of NSW there is quite a renaisance with LJ's at present. By July 1, will be looking to have historic rego in place.

Thats 3cyl 's car :D
he put the LJ80 bonnet on it.


I know about the variations on different model Lj50's and the 10 and 20's and the different type SJ410's and lots of other bits and pieces, but I decided to keep it reasonably simple :), just focusing on the main types and differences present in Australian models ;)

Were some of these Maruti's 5 speed? Wondering if the box is like a 1.3 but a F10 bellhousing? Heard of them but never seen one.

pretty sure they were all 4spds in oz but they are identical on the exterior and the 1.3 5 spd internals can be swaped into it to make it a 5spd.
Even the yoke at the input shaft is the same, but tailshaft flange and diff flanges are different bolt pattern but can be swaped with 1.3 flanges
