GQ/ GU Genuine manual locking hubs
GQ/ GU Genuine manual locking hubs
Hey all,
Was wondering has any one priced Genuine manual locking hubs from Nissan??
I need to replace my auto hubs and don't like the idea of replacing a 2nd hand part with another 2nd hand part.
I need them asap.

Re: GQ/ GU Genuine manual locking hubs
I had the same problem with my auto hubs...
And to be honest didnt want to pay anywhere between 250 - 300 for second gq hubs that can be upto 15-20 years old...
I bought set off these guys, and fitted them up came with everything for $395

Re: GQ/ GU Genuine manual locking hubs
Do you know what brand they are and what the internals are made from??
I Bought a set of AVM performance hubs, when they turned up they were landcruiser hubs. (The dick at the shop sent the wrong ones).
They now tell me they have none in Australia and cant get em for 3 weeks when I need em next week.
Not happy.

Re: GQ/ GU Genuine manual locking hubs
priced a genuine set last week for my GQ $600 per side trade price
Cant justify $1200 on manual locking hubs but standard avm's dont cut it & got told by the avm suppliers not to bother trying the hp version as having a ls1 on board will smash them too..
Everyone tells me go factory nissan .. havent heard any other good aftermarket solution

Re: GQ/ GU Genuine manual locking hubs
I wouldn't be too concerned about second hand.
I bought a pair of second hand genuine nissan manual hubs for $160 from the wreckers and running them with a 400hp 351 Cleveland without any problems.

Re: GQ/ GU Genuine manual locking hubs
For that coin it'd be worth sourcing a GU front diff with manual hubs on it to replace yours. That way you'd get much stronger CV's and better brakes as well. I priced a diff for $1500. You can get them cheaper if you look around.boost is good wrote:priced a genuine set last week for my GQ $600 per side trade price

As for the hubs. I wouldn't stress about getting a second hand pair. Just make sure you give them a really good clean and check them over. I've seen plenty of them on comp trucks that are fine with a lot of power. I've only seen them break if they hit something.

Re: GQ/ GU Genuine manual locking hubs
For the Money you boys are talking go these for sure! You will need a stock hub too strip but you'll never break the hub.

Re: GQ/ GU Genuine manual locking hubs

Re: GQ/ GU Genuine manual locking hubs
