Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

2nd hand ones are just freakin dandy!

i have been told the uto locking habs are stronger then the manual true or false? the afermarket items are not worth buying i was told the more expensive asv hub is the best of them though but not as strong as gen nissan hubs

noosa 4x4 wreckers had a pair of 2nd hand manual hubs for $170
as did suncoast 4wd service centre for the same $$$

i was given a 2nd auto hub by a friend that had to replace 1 busted he used gen 2hd nissan manaul's hubs and hasn't had any problems so far

retail price is around 900 a side.

priced it a while back when i broke one, beter off getting good second hand ones.

I ended up fitting 2nd hand jobbies. Working a treat so far.
