Hi i know 2 guys who did it, used a hilux diff and flipped it so it was correct side, 1 guy got custom bilsteins from canada, imho more work than its worth

[DieselBoy]

Nah bugger the Hilux diff, you use a leaf sprung MK/MQ diff, its all on the correct side then.

[GotFlex]

thats algood then didnt know that, flipping the diff looks like a lot of work,

[mazdamike]

can u use parts from the gq diffs in these i was thinking of a gq diff and fliping but if mq are already fliped it would be easyer

[DieselBoy]

Here's one using a Dana diff out of a Jeep XJ??







Heres the one using the MK/MQ diff:





I have a MQ diff siting in my parts pile at home, will check it is on the correct side, because I'm starting to think I got that wrong......

trying to find a dana 44 is near on inposable in nz and have been told to try find a j20 jeep diff.
i am temped to just flip a patrol diff so i can run all nissan diff heads

[albundy]

When I looked into it (before I rolled it), I found the only diff on that side was dana. Problem with them would be access to spare parts at resonable price. With Nissan diffs you have to cut, or flip the pumkin to the other side. I got on to a guy in Oz who had done it, he used toyota bundera coils and springs. If I had the cash I would look into buying a terrano again and doing it, setting it up as a general club truck, everyday runner, keep the safari for more harder type shit and comps.

Some photo's of one in progress but it is getting a complete new drivetrain so maybe a bit more work than you are thinking about!!!

Who said you can't get 35" Simex on a Terrano!

[mazdamike]

now thats a terrano what running gear is that running i nnow u can get 39inch irok under one but no quite what i had planed i think with 33s and sased it will be quite capeable but we will see

[darinz]

It is getting the full running gear that was in my GQ. So turboed VH45, GQ auto, transfer case, drive shafts and axles. It should end up around 1600kg and have about 400kw. 18" coilovers all round and a rear mounted hydraulic winch. Haven't decided if it will be fully road legal or not yet. I'm building it with that in mind but we'll see if it gets too hard. The engineer is pretty happy with what we've discussed so far so it looks good but.........
