HiAce Diff

Early 80's Hiace/Liteace diffs. Look large, and a bit like an F series.
What I want to know is where to they hide the ID tags on these things? I cannot find them anywhere. Yes they are still on the car, but they are not on the pillars or in the engine bay.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Malkom

Malkom, they're hidden under the passenger seat. I believe they are a G series, and a lot of really crazy ratios too, like around 5:1!

Every HiAce I've seen had a G series diff centre. As far as I can tell the whole rear end is the same as the Hilux.
LiteAce has F series from what I've seen, and the 4WD ones (rare) have an LSD F diff in the rear axle.

So that means I can use a Torsen for it doesn't it? What about Liteaces? They have a much narrower track than a Hiace. Less shortening to be done.
Any other vehicles that have G diffs, so I can get 3.9? Do you guys have the links for the Toyota diff codes?

- giantomatoe that link only tells you how to decipher the diff code, it doesnt tell you what diffs were in what vehicles.
You seem to have an amazing knowledge for these things. Ive looked at your website but couldnt find any info. How did you find out so much?
I dont want to have to walk around the wreckers for weeks looking at ID plates - im sure plenty others have done that already.
Can you please share what you know?

Thanks GT, very useful. But I am looking for the list that tells you what comes in what. I have seen it before, but it was on the old forums..... Somewhere.
Did you end up buying the MkII coupe?

Mk2 Coupe in driveway - awaiting my club president to send me a little handwritten note and a signature on a piece of paper so I can club reg it.
There is this one but it's very USA.

Some of these aren't quite right - 1 ton Hiluxes are definitely G series diffs.

. Beware, apparently there are 2 different carriers depending on the ratios:?:. I haven't confirmed this by checking myself....
