Answers
a: NO the wheels will drive in the opposite direction!

b: Wont work so why bother

c: No 80 series front hipinion wont fit as it is a hilux size diff and they aint to strong. The axle splines are the same thou 30 spline 1 5/16 diametre.

d: Not sure if a hipinion centre is made to bolt straight in, Nissan GQ hipinions can be made to fit (have done a lot times) You you fit a Cruiser rear diff from 1990 on (75 and 80 series) and these have a higher pinion shaft hight than the earlier diffs but is still not a Hipinion.
