i hurd some were that some one made arms that had a dog leg in them so that a GQ housing will fit into an 80 series, my understanding is that the spring hats needed changing coss 80 series have smaller springs, and that the panhard mount might have needed changing but you didnt have to weld on new arm mounts.
i have looked on the net but cant find anything
dose any one know anything about this, if not can some one make some lol

GQ diff in 80
Moderators: toaddog, Elmo, DUDELUX
I was down there two weeks ago and there was an 80 series their which had a GQ diff in the front fitted with a set of Dale's custom arms so I am certain that he does them.duck wrote:yer just checked the web site and it dosnt list anything about them, will see if he writes up in here soon or ill shoot him an email, cheersmicka1 wrote:pretty sure 2dextreme do those arms . he has a web page and is on here too .
I would just give Dale a call as he doesn't spend much time on here.

GQ centre/pumpkin with 80 everything IIRC. That way you keep the spring/arm mounts, brakes, CV's etc.
i think there about 4 grand and you need to give him an 80 housing, 80 series CVs axels ect, a GQ housing and diff, all i would be able to sell out of it would be an 80 center with a locker.
going this way i can sell a breaced 80 series housing compleat with locker and 4 extra CVs
if you can remove your centre and axles, you can get somewhere else to build a tuff 80 centre for you...duck wrote:every thing can be build stronger.....i wouldnt know were to start and cant rebuild diffs but can stick housings under cars and rebuild housingsbad_religion_au wrote:why are you looking at changing? 80 front diffs can be built stronger than GQ...
then you can throw some Chromo-longfields in when you put it back together?
Spit my last breath
You would probably find getting the centre setup 'correctly' would cost less than slotting in a GQ front housing, when you inc rebuilding the GQ housing, welding spring hats, locker etc.duck wrote:every thing can be build stronger.....i wouldnt know were to start and cant rebuild diffs but can stick housings under cars and rebuild housingsbad_religion_au wrote:why are you looking at changing? 80 front diffs can be built stronger than GQ...
There are a handfull of threads on 80 front strength, and allot of good info here especially.

i think its actually flexing a lil ray, the coil hats are in roughly the same spot but you gotta weld on new hats any way as the GU/GQ coils are different diamaters so there is no reason why you would fuck that upcrankycruiser wrote:the coils do look overly impressed..
im gathering that the patrol coil mounts are out further?
How about you guys in the know write up a step by step tech thread on how to set up the 80 front diff properly? I know there'd be heaps of people on here with the skills to do the work if they were shown what is required and how to do it. Or post a link if there is a thread elsewhere?1MadEngineer wrote:shhh don't tell him that.bad_religion_au wrote:why are you looking at changing? 80 front diffs can be built stronger than GQ...
Nissans are the best- I read it on the interweb so it must be true

Apart from the front diff center, i'd rather go the 80 front any day.Dane wrote:How about you guys in the know write up a step by step tech thread on how to set up the 80 front diff properly?

longfield super set
longfield hub gears
better bushes arrangement than nissan
good availability of gears and ratios from the states
truss it up and be aware of giving it poo in reverse, and voila' a pretty decent front end.
and a lot less faffing around
