[suzookyman]

Picked up a 1995 Mazda Proceed 2l diesel 5dr today (to strip)
can any one tell me if there is any difference between it and the
Vitara/escudo of the petrol v6?

Diesel ones should have the steel diffs

As far as I know its just a badge swap . like jerry said should have steel front diff housing and third member housing .
I had a 95 , no intercooler so was a little slow , not that it matters .
First dibs if it has 4.62 diff gears in it , not the steel housings just the ring and pinion's . If they are 4.62 not many people was the ring gears anyway .

Cheers

They were a mazde rf diesel , easy enough to find if thats all it needs to get running again , as its the same engine in the mazda 626 diesels etc . The ones without the intercooler are all mechanical , were as the ones with intercoolers are elec injection . Have a bit more grunt than the mech ones due to the intercooler . Never had any problems with mine but only showing 145 on the clock and had a top end rebuild after the suzuki dealer replaced the belt , stuffed it up and it snapped . Think thats why the guy sold it , he was not happy about the dealer farking it up althou they paid for it .

I now have the diesel GV with the peug motor , great we wagon . Oneday I will buy the go fast chip for it

Yep, Chris is right, it is just a badge swap. In fact if you check the blue manufacturers plate under the bonnet you'll find it's got the Suzuki chassis number, and the manufacturer is Suzuki Motor Corporation.

Chris, is that the same r&p as the standard 1.6 auto diff?

If so I have spares you can have, I won't be using them. I'm sure ORE courier service could get them to AKL for you (eventually).

Hi
Yep after a set of 4.62's . They are ment to be in auto's but the 3 I have checked are all 5.12's . Must have been the 3sp auto swb i think . Happy to swap anyone a set of 5.12's , front and rear . Lower your gearing a bit if you have an auto .

Cheers
Chris

Okay. You can have my 4.62s for 5.12s instead. I think I have two fronts and one rear in the 4.62 ratio.

I guess the easiest way to transport would be to just send entire diff-heads and keep the housings and everything else. Much easier rthan stripping down to the R&P assembly, then having to reassemble and set-up.

If you can get them to Bulletproof in Nelson, he's coming north Labour weekend, Chris could get them off him when we are in Auckland

dunno if chris's puter is up and running, so keen for that if bulletproof can bring them over. We will be in wanga's (or whanga's now ) at labour weekend, but prob easier to grab them from you jafa in nov at round 2 of nats. Just need to get chris's ones to you before labour weekend.....

Thanks guys, but I've contacted Bulletproof and he has no room.
I've put a listing on the ORE courier service thread so hopefully will be able to get them swapped over okay.
