PJpathy Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Im considering going to either 4.8 or 5.1 diff gears for when I go to 33" tyres on my Pathfinder. The 4.8's would bring me back to stock i think, but wouldnt mind a little better low range at sacrifice of a couple of hundred cruising RPM's. Are the 5.1's ok? Are the pinions on em too small and weak? Ruggedrocks show they stock Nismo R&P's, are they good? http://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/nissan-pathfinder-differential-gears-c-38_854.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 We have never had anyone put these on a truck here, the Nismo diffs for the 240zx and 300zx are very stout/heavy duty. If rugged rocks has them in stock still that is cool, as they are NLA from Nissan now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 you can also pull those gears off of a nissan xterra or frontier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJpathy Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 So is anyone actually running the 5.1's, are they tough enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I think some guys on N4W are running the 5.12's A bunch of them are running the 4.9 and are very happy on 33's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
