no 80series is ~2.3 to 2.6mm smaller in diameter than a GU.
they could be made to fit BUT the kingpin inclination is greater on a nissan and this would result in increased castor (which might be advantageous on a race truck. The dissadvantage is the knecked area on the nissan ball as it is only 55mm dia vs 60mm dia on a toyota, it is also longer and more prone to bending.
