There are a couple of people who do it, from what I have read in the Rover forum I believe LRA have a kit, and I also believe Kermit (could be spelt Kurmit) does Nissan diff replacements.

May be worth posting this question in the Rover section, but be sure to wear your flame suit as it has been asked a few times.

You know once you do that you can't call it a Rover.
You think you get enough stick from the Toyo and Nissan guys now, wait till they find out you put their running gear in ya Rover.

Personally would never do it and think it's sacralidge, but I'm a bit of a purist (technically maxi-drives are not std but there made for Land Rovers only ). It can be done sucessfully as we all know and if done for a reasnoble cost then it's well worth it.

I was looking into it at one stage but IMO it's not much cheaper at the time for me to fit another maxi-drive so I did that and 3 years later I'm not whinging.

font is easy as its nearly a straight swap rear however is not there are a few ppl who will do all the fab work cheap for the diffs but getting it engernieerd is a problem
as for transmission it basicly is a must as there not offset an if your going to pay for all that work get a transmission adaptor to fit a bigger v8 eg 350 chev

my brother was going to put nissan diffs under his rangie but it was going to cost to much to get it done properly so it was still roadworthey
you also have to change steering box & brakes

I think you'll find a few on here with gq diffs running stock nissan brakes and the RR steering box.

yeah most ppl will use the rover steering box with a modifed steering arm to suit std patrol pan hard an some run rover lines plumbed to suit the Nissan calipers some run Nissan boosters/masters
