E-Lockers

[nissannewby]

Hey folks

I am looking at getting some e-lockers for the patrols and I am just wondering if anyone knows where to get them from and what sort of money you have paid. I have some quotes but want to make sure I get the best deal.

Cheers.

[Winnie]

I was talking to the Eaton rep at the Wandin 4x4 show last weekend and he said they were doing a show special for $1500 per locker (normally $1600) with some extra goodies, can't remember what they were.
He was telling me the benefits over air lockers and after talking to him there is no way I'd go with air lockers.

[MudRunnerTD]

Hi mate,

Newby is your man, he will be about a little later and should be able to sort you out.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Hopefully you get them soon and tell us all about it.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Hopefully you get them soon and tell us all about it.

Or we get a group buy.

[BigRAWesty]

Did you want me to ask around for a group buy?

[MudRunnerTD]

No Mat but i laughed at myself! thats whats important! lol

[nissannewby]

Yes it is. But thanks for the advice hopefully he will be around soon. I might try eaton direct if not opposite lock it is I can get a small discount through them so may be the way to go.

[threedogs]

X 2 with that price Winnie was given, it's an Opposite lock product.
I'll see what price I can get for 4 if thats ok with all, just PM me.

[Winnie]

I'm interested in a price as I WILL get one in the future but not any time soon.

[Winnie]

Eaton are just the supplier, they are made by Harrop, as in Harrop superchargers.

[threedogs]

As in R Harrop and his HARROP HOWLER drag car from the 70s went like all stink when it was going.

[macca]

Eaton are just the supplier, they are made by Harrop, as in Harrop superchargers.

Winnie, they are an Eaton product, Harrop is their Australian importer.
Harrop also adapt them for some applications that the American Market does not have, eg. Nissan Patrol. The spline number on the Patrol is not in the US inventory.
Then the Retail / Fitting is handled by Opposite Lock.
I have a front one, found it to be really good, turn the switch and it works.
Had air lockers in the last car, but wouldnt go that way again, I like the simplicity of the E-Locker system.
I had no bother but know of a few who did.
Since I put the front one in I havent been stuck on a climb, but I am cautious what I tackle. Wont be putting a rear one in at the moment any way.
I had a local mechanic install it, they had a bit of trouble with the instructions I think. They were on the phone a lot.... cost me a bloody fortune. Was not happy at all, should have got OL to do it for a fixed price.

[Winnie]

Eaton rep told me that harrop make them?

[threedogs]

Is it a modified Mc Namarra locker or is that the Pro locker ???

[nissannewby]

Eaton rep told me that harrop make them?

Eaton make the actual e-locker and as Macca said Harrop modify them to suit patrols and land cruisers etc. I can get them cheaper than you have stated but that's supply only. If I can get a bundle of gear with it at a show then I will probably go down that path instead.

[threedogs]

Was going down this path late last year, but with fitting the price was stupid {front}.
The concept of just pressing a button really appeals to me, as for locking they all lock
its the way they lock thats different. One air locker I had was slow to unlock, I take it these are similar
with just a slight back off required to unlock on the go..
Having twin lockers in last 4x4 {spoilt} driving became boring or much slower, there fore
started looking for more technical stuff to drive on.

[Alitis007]

So how many would be interested in these ?? I know i can get them for the other brand of 4wd

[MudRunnerTD]

For a pricing exercise i'd be interested George?? i like the idea and it would be for the GUIV. If i did a locker in this car it would be the front only and the Elocker sounds like a great idea.

[Alitis007]

Ok i'll see what i can find out, just want to know what has every one been quoted so far ?? You can PM me if you like

[threedogs]

I know BA and Mudski are saving up for a locker , which type I'm not sure
I'll probably go Pro-locker, ................but if the price is right?????

Yeah the price I was quoted was supply only too, sounds like you might be onto a winner.

[TPC]

I would be interested in the price, not sure I could convince the household finance dept but could try.

[Alitis007]

Ok i need the Eaton part number for the front and rear lockers, all i could find on the net was that they are 31 spline. So if anyone can get them for me so i can pass them onto my supplier that wiould be great! Cheers

[healy]

I'm in if cheap anothe for front of GU

[Alitis007]

Just got off the phone with Harrop here in melbourne and because i need to make a trade account they wont give me the Eaton part number but THEY said RRP$1590 Trade$1500 but i need to verify my trade account. But like i said if someone can do the ground work to find the Eaton part numbers i will get you guys a better price !!

[Drewboyaus]

I'm in for a GQ front please George.
I'll see if I can find the part number.....
I had it written down a while ago.


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

[Lister]

Gu front diff a9684-00
Gu rear diff a9635-00(h233 only)
Gq front diff a9684-00

[BearGUST]

I was quoted $2000 fitted for the front in my GU by OL in North Melbourne last year.

[robbo0001]

Confirm the 2 grand fitted price.
Got a quote from OL north Brisbane yesterday. Bit outta my price range unfortunately, so might have to convert to manual hubs and a lock-rite or similar.
I love the simplicity and functionality, but can't justify the coin on the wagon at the moment.

[threedogs]

Yeah James at Nth Melb gave me a similar price fitted. Seeing about 6 want front lockers I'll get a PRO-LOCKER
price in the morning. Locker only price is around $1100 would think 6 would bring that down

[nissannewby]

It will be hard to get an eaton part number as they dont actually make the unit that is for patrols. Harrop buy them and modify them to suit, maybe this is why the price is a tad high. I have emailed eaton direct to see what info I can get from them. Keep up the hunt it will be interesting to see what we come up with.

Thanks mate are they the Harrop part number or the Eaton??

If anyone can confirm for me these are correct i will pass on the details to my supplier who said that if he emails on sunday he will have a pice on monday for us!!

Ok guys this is the Harrop part numbers, the Eaton ones start BL.

Did anyone else get any info?

[robbo0001]

I am looking at installing a front locker soon and have quotes for supply of a lokka style, interested to see how this goes.

You could put a Detroit locker in the rear.......got an email address for their overseas sales guy somewhere when I was looking at one for the front....the price was good, even with shipping from stateside


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

[Stropp]

If the price is right I would go front for a GU.

[Alitis007]

So are you guys gona help me try and get the Eaton part numbers or not?? Coz apparently Eaton have a large number of 31 and 33 spline lockers and they need a part number for the ones that suite. Failing that i wont be able to get a cheaper price for you guys!!!

[Stropp]

Alitis007 there is the answer mate eaton supply harrop who modify them, so no actual straight eaton part will suit and I am not sure what they do as far as modification. You will need a friendly retailer I think to get them for a good price.

According to my supplier harrop don't do anything! He has bought VE diffs from Eaton the same as the ones Harrop have tried to sell at a premium, so unless you know some one who works at Harrop here in Preston in Melbourne i think you where given a sales pitch so that you don't shop for it in the US. Eaton emailed my supplier and said they know what landcruisers take but 31 and 33 splined diffs are the most popular they make so they are not sure which one fits the patrol housing!!

[BigRAWesty]

Pretty sure 31 is front and 33 is rear. I looked at fitting a front lsd, and my research found a navara rear lsd centre slipped right in the front.. maybe of help

Hey mate
I only said it may be a little harder to get a number. I have been trying to email eaton direct but it keeps coming back saying their inbox is full. As soon as I have any info I will pass it on to you. At this point it's a waiting game until I can get through and get a response.

[Alitis007]

This is from the Eaton catalog http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/03/1.jpg
What i'm thinking is if we can get some measurements from either a standard diff ??OR if someone has bought a e locker and hasn't fitted it yet ??OR if someone has a good contact in a store that sells them can open one up and figure out what Harrop is retrofitting into the patrol diffs??. The second and third option is best that way we could even see if there is any casting markings or numbers that way it will help pinpoint it further!!
Cheers

[nissannewby]

The h233 is what to look at im pretty sure. But in that able they dont list an elocker for it.

[Steve4wdin]

I just found this link it may be helpfull. "www.harrop.com.au/4wd.php"

[gqmoder]

did this group buy go ahead in the end?
i'm looking into getting two for my gq and am going to install them myself. i have full workshop at home practically, i even have a dial gauge so i can set the backlash.
If anyone is buying them i am definantly in for 2!!!!!!!!
one front gq patrol and one back gq patrol

you can buy them online for $1600 each and i have been quoted $3600 installed by O L in queanbeyan if i take the dIff centres out and take them to O L.

[Tonks]

So, who's got an E-Locker,
And how do you rate it.

[Stropp]

i just saw on patrol4x4 forum some guy in brissy got one fitted for $1500 very very good price.

Best I can get around here is $ 2000 supplied & fitted.

[rainsey]

I got a front eaton Elocker installed in my GU for a tad under $1700.

Compared to my rear air locker I have in my other vehicle it is a whole heap better and honestly not much more than a 100 or so more dollars fitted.

Got my local opposite lock store to supply and fit. Only tested it out now a hand full of times but all I can say is when my LSD wears out, I am going back for a rear Elocker.

Kindest regards

Wow, great price. I'll get an elocker one day.

[TerrainTamer]

Hey guys, we are now the only wholesaler distributing the Harrop/Eaton ELockers.
Ring up 1300 888 444 if you need a hand!44878

[Stropp]

group buy from terrian tamer anyone ????

[lucus30]

I'd be tempted if they were cheap

[Family4x4]

group buy from terrian tamer anyone ????

When and how much?

[Stropp]

When and how much?

Don't know, they said they are the only wholesaler so I thought if there was enough interest we could ask!

[Tonks]

The new E Locker is going in next week,
The wagon has auto hubs, should i change to Manual ones or just leave them as is.

[P4trol]

If you are liking the auto (and I thought they were great) stick with them. People don't like them because

they are weaker,
can give troubles,
and take 1/2 a wheel turn to lock.

Mine gave me troubles, so I converted them to manual. The part that catches me out is carrying a socket to lock them in...
