Thank you for the advice my Northern brothers!
I was wondering why that hub is coming with those 2 thin bolts fitted and the rest enclosed?
Will order the hubs today and keep you posted.

I wonder if anyone could share a picture of a spindle of Terrano that had factory manual hubs. Just to see difference in snap rings locations (if any) and how it looks without those castellations.

Great writeup about hubs Slartibartfast!
My theory is that those castellations at the ends of spindles are to engage automatic hubs. It will take a disassembly to cut them off; I don't need dust in moving parts.
You convinced me to return the FWH011 and get one FWH012. Will need to get 6 high-tense bolts though. Of course it will also pose problem of removing dirt from all its recesses when going through mud, and will be more prone to rust. As for reliability, searching for hubs I came across an opinion that you are better off with the hub being the weakest link in the transmission. Of course it will be nasty if it breaks on a steep slope.Hubs I've seen all appear to be made in China. They will put any name on them for an extra dollar. Nameless hubs are plentiful at Aliexpress, but only 2 kinds I already know.
Do you think I need a snap ring? I thought it was exclusivemy for the automatic hub business. I may be wrong?

The FWH011 which I have, has depth of 9mm, and the outer lip is 5mm deep. That leaves 9-5=4mm.
A proper hub needs at least 7-8mm between inner depth and depth of the outer lip. Sorry, the site fails to attach even a 48kb image.

Hello good people,
Resurrecting the old thread, which may be getting less relevant as the time goes by, but is getting more painful as fewer options are being left by Nissan and OEM manufacturers. I've seen only 2 major options these days. I tried FWH012 and it did fit my Terrano 1991 the way I would like.
There were 2 issues: the hubs came without bolts to attach. Finding proper bolts in city of hipsters is not as easy as may seem to US dwellers. Besides, in Australia it nearly doubles the cost. Most importantly, the hubs are much taller than original automatic hubs and stick outside the vehicle, which is rather undesirable. The beauty cap won't fit either.
I returned FWH012 and bought FWH011 which is claimed to be a fit. Not so fast. The hub is not deep enough and the sticking part of the spindle does not allow it to reach the wheel.
Did anyone have the same problem? I don't mind cutting off that part of the spindle because I am not expecting to ever find an automatic hub for this vehicle. It will be point of no return though.Anyone can suggest a better option? Source of automatic hubs? Shall I suck it up and go with FWH012?

Finally had time to fit the ordered hub. It took some peruasion for the shaft to show the groove for the snap ring, but that worked. Now need to get a new 27mm snap rings and should be good to go. Any opinions on snap ringa are welcome.
