Have heard that Nissan R200 diff heads as used in some Nissan performance cars can be made to fit in a Nissan C200 diff casing as found in the front of some Nissan 4wds. I fitted a LSD from a pathfinder to the front diff of my Safari and it was simply a matter of removing the diff head and bolting my existing crown wheel to the LSD centre then re-installing. I am not a mechanic and I managed to do this without to much trouble.

That's cause the Saf front diff is the same as the terrano rear diff.
Terrano front diffs are a different story and are not the same as their rears.
Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along.

I understand it can be done, but it requires a lot of modifying to do so.
There are others on here who are doing R&D on this topic as we speak.
