Its not the most ideal conv as the Nissan pumpkin is further to the RHS and uptravel needs to be limited to prevent the diff pumpkin hitting the chassis rail. ( Nissan rail has a higher hump in the rail to clear this) The Nissan diff centre/gears are muck stronger , GU-80 CV's are of similar strengh but Nissan have wheel bearing problems with bigger tyres and the Toyota have better FWH and or Drive plates to choose from.
I build front diffs for 80/100's to utilise the Nissan centre with all the Toyota axles , brakes, CV's , hubs ETC with the diff centre in the correct position and you get the best of both worlds ( the only custom part is the housing all other parts are std of the shelf items ) The other problem is the rear diff the Toyota is offset the Nissan is centred so the not ideal and would require a custom fuel tank to clear the drive shaft.
