depends on the model

also in the past 2 years nissan seem to put any diff in the 4.2's and 3.0's as ARB have had issues quoting what part to order unless they eyeball the diff (or the owner knows one from the other)

What size tyre you going to be streeting?

Will you be fitting transfer gears?

Even the NA 4.2 has the torque to run a slightly taller axle ratio so the turbo would be sweet.

If you are going gears I'd consider running a 4.6s even with 37s.

See a lot of these trucks but have never seen a coil-cab with a h260.
Early 3.0 came with h260, current production have h233. Lots of little changes during production without warning. When the 3.0l first came out the ARB locker to suit h260 would not fit the versions used in 3.0l, not sure what was changed to fix this.

I'm out of my league here, but is the GU the model currently being sold? If so, Nissan's site (http://www.nissan.com.au/patrolcab/specifications.asp) shows the leaf version having a full-floating rear, while the coil versions have semi-floating, which would be H260 and H233 respectively. If Nissan is randomly shuffling this, that would be quite unusual.
In search of an MQ (offset) H233b rear, housing only preferred, plus a complete GQ or GU front (4.6 ratio ideal) to be shipped to the US. Cheap! Email/PM if you can help.

why not buy your nw ute, and just swap the complete axles over from your wagon? easier than farking around removing and replacing hemispheres..

The GU H260 isnt a full floater. Also the coil cabs dont come with the H260 either, they were randomly fitted to the 3L and the 4.5L. ;)
