Hey guys just going through suzistore is fucking with my head at the moment. Apparently my car is a 89 WT SJ50 with a G13A... So i thought...

But going through suzistore they have an SJ50 listed as "Suzuki Sierra SJ50 1984-1988 Motor G13A 1.3L 4 Cyl Built in Soft top, Hard top, LWB ute" and a SJ70 as "Suzuki Sierra SJ70 1988-1996 Motor G13BA 1.3L 4 Cyl Built in Soft top, Hard top"

So mines a mix of both? Or do they just have the site around funny? Heres a picture of the platea on the car too just so you can see.

Its either too late in the night or im going nuts...

89 is the crossover year, so theres just as many n/t parts on your w/t as there are w/t parts on it.
generally flanges are n/t, diffs are only 2 pinion, seats are n/t style, flares may be plastic not metal
and theres a few other subtle differences but really they can vary from car to car, they just threw the parts bin at that year.

Yeah thats whats confusing me, ive got metal flares which lead me towards a SJ70 but ive got a G13A which puts me back towards the SJ50...

So when buying engine or gearbox bits id be after the SJ50 stuff?

if its a 1.3 then all the shits interchangeable so is the g/box
but output on the t-case may be a shit one ?

Widetrack sj50 go to 90 or 91 and they have the early type plastic grill. They are the same as a sj70 except for having a bigger motor.

The crossover model has plastic flares so if ya don't have them then it isn't a crossover model

Oh and the gearboxes are slightly different as well, taller 5th gear in the sj50.

Mine is an 88 SJ50 WT Soft top and it's got the metal flares and WT output flanges, I can't remember about the front diff...

Mr Rocky is right. I have an 88.5. It has Wt diff ratio but running NT flanges.
It has plastic flares.
Have been told a few times that they (Suzuki) just stuck there hand in the parts bin and slapped the car together with what they had.

Really I have only had to worry about flanges. (and that's not a real worry anyway)
I'd happily buy a G/box or T/case from a NT or WT for my zook and not even worry about it cause I know it will fit.
My brakes are all WT and so it 99% of everything else.
Don't worry about it really mate. The 88.5 is 99% WT. :wink:
