Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

The size of the diff doesnt affect the ratio's within. However, as per my earlier post, it is definite that the pickup uses the H260 full floater rear diff and runs 4.111 gears. The rear diff on the wagon may well be the H233 , and as i stated, i predict it to be 3.9 gears.

Micheal, i will investigate and post pics of how to work out your original dif and gearing. Will post tomorrow.

Agree. but the 4.2 Petrol runs with the 3.9 ratio, and the reason why I could not swop the Petrol diff with the ARB locker from my "old" GQ to the "new" diesel GQ.

3.9 diffs also easy to get a hold of but try and get a 4.1 diff... need one to swop out with my LSD, to date no luck.

Also something to look for is whether it has a limit slip diff our not ,the old Patrol pickup ran lsd and the rear diff housing is much bigger than the front that's without the lsd
I have got spare front and rear diff for patrol pickup....

I think it is 3.9=1

Michael, om jou diff ratio te check, jack een voorwiel op en sluit die hubs met die spanner.

Maak vir jou 'n pointer op wat na die wiel wys, en een wat na die drive flange op die voorste propshaft wys. Trek 'n lyn op die opgejakte wiel se sidewall met bordkryt, en draai die wiel vorentoe tot die streep oplyn met die pointer. Trek nou 'n merk op die propshaft se drive flange wat mooi oplyn met die pointer daar.

Nou kry jy jou tuin-tegnikus of waterkruisingdieptemeter (aka Cindy) om die wiel tien draaie in dieselfde rigting te draai as voorheen, terwyl jy versigtig tel hoeveel omwentelinge die propshaft maak. Deel die resultaat deur 20 om die diff ratio te kry.

It pains me to say this, but this bakkie makes my GQ look like it's looking for parking...

Tinus gooi bietjie foto's of videos van jou bakkie...

Baie klein gewig verskil tussen die bakkie en die suv(4.5). 4.2td bakkie = 2285kg, 4.5 suv = 2306kg. Met die extra olie, groter filters, etc. wat die 4.2 vat, sal daai gewig klaar nader aan mekaar wees....- as die tenks vol is, is die bakkie swaarder.

Sal interessant wees om te sien wat die TARE gewig van die 4.2(diesel) suv is.
