Post by simcoe »

hi
i know i know..do a search and i have.
just want to clarrify that 4.3 diffs centres out of a 92 3.0l patrol will fit my 4.5l
i just know that the 4.5 has a big rear pumkin diff, bigger then other model patrols.buying second hand and the items will be posted so i just wanted to check they'l fit.
do i need just the centres or all the whole box and dice out of the diffs.

cheers

well if you have the big rear diff the diffs from a 3.0L wont fit even if you get the whole center the crown wheel and pinion will be to small.

Your only option is to put the complete GQ diff (disc to disc) under your GU wagon. If you want a large genuine 4.3 crown wheel and pinion you can only find them in gu 3L manual/auto not sure i think there was always a mix and match.
