This is what I understand the situation to be on the Y61:
  • Wagons with H260 rear diff:
    TB48DE Manual
    TB45E Manual (old, before 2000?). I have one of these :biggrin: .
  • Wagons with H233B rear diff:
    RD28ETi
    TB42S (Middle East?)
    TB45E Manuals (later, 2000 and up?)
    TB45E Auto
    TB45S (Middle East?)
    TB48DE Auto
    ZD30DDTi Manual
    ZD30DDTi Auto
    TD42
    TD42Ti
  • Hardtops all use H233B rear diff
  • All rear leaf sprung pickups use H260 rear diff
  • All rear coil sprung pickups (Australia) use H233B rear diff

So that means I must get hold of a set of 4.5/3.0TD diffs and it will be a straight swop if I I swop around the centre pieces?
I spoke to a guy at Gearmax in Pta and he reckons the crown and pinion alone would cost about R7000 EACH if you can get them from Nissan!!! Yikes!

The 4.8GL's have a 4.3 diff ratio. I am not aware of a combination where H260's were used with .7 ratios?

Maybe Tinus can halp if it does exist.
