Hey guys just asking for a mate,
Are front and rear GQ diff centre's interchangeable?
And surely you can get auto-lockers for the front diff i probably don't know where to look but can someone point me in the right direction...
Any ideas welcome but the idea is put a auto-locker in the front and run the limo rear then when he can afford it air-locker front and swap auto to rear also thinking this cause you usually cant put a auto-locker in a limited slip hemisphere correct me if im wrong.
Cheers

Q1. Front and rear GQ diffs interchangeable ? NO.
Q2. Auto locker in front? Detroit Locker part No: DET-187SL167A_a. Lock Right Part No: 3220.

Nah mate thats just for the lock-rite ones if it was a detroit it would be worth it, but at that price may as well buy an air locker really i cant see why they'd be worth double what i pay for hilux ones. but i know snake-racings pretty expensive but he cant find anywhere else that sells them in aus...

I think BBM do them. Or maybe try the LOKKA from 4wd systems, pretty much identical to the lock right, about $599 from memory. Cheers Loz.

I agree i have an air-locker and auto-locker in my 4runner and love the air locker but this guys on a budget and was hoping he could get 2 auto's now instead of 1 air-locker for around $1100 maybe wishful thinking

Mate, that doesnt fit from memory. Its to suit a 4 pinion open carrier. If you can get a front carrier out of a GQ leaf sprung ute then you can fit it. Cheers Loz.

Something must be different. That's the model guys here in Panama install on their front GQ/GUs !

GQ diff centers are changable as long as its coil sprung not leaf, thats how you get a hi pinon rear diff.

Ok thanks for that it is a coily wagon so assumably it has the 2 pinion front so i guess the best way around it is to buy the right locker first or sell his centre and buy the ute/pathfinder one and cheaper locker(s)
But thinking about it he has a limited slip rear that he now wants to lock so hes gonna be looking to change that hemisphere or whole 3rd member anyway.
I know this is getting a bit much but what rear diff do people replace it with to install the lockers i though just about all nissans had rear LSD and front would be running C&P backwards if put in rear wouldnt it
Cheers
