hessianben Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 come git this one- suck it up and make the drive to SoCal. it's from a desert runner Supercharged V6 Frontier, and is wider than the 620 rear, but would do the trick! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 so i think i saw that some 620 years had lsds and im trying to find out if so what years. im try to see how i find out what to look for on a 620s diff to see if i should snag it formy wagon. No 620s or 720s had factory LSD. The first Nissan truck with it was the '86.5 D-21 Hardbody (beating even Toyota) with Sports Package, also available on the WD-21 Pathfinder a half year later. The Path also had optional rear disc too. It only came on the VG equipped HB truck and was an H-223 rear. (slightly larger than the Ford 9") The width, from rim mount to rim mount, is 1.5 meter or just over 59". It's a freekin' MONSTER!!! Here's my 4.625 (also came in 4.375) http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/720%20stuff/Pathfinder--D-21conversion027Large.jpg[/img]"] Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 come git this one- suck it up and make the drive to SoCal. oh yeah? how about in a wagon??? :w00t: Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I would really like that Frontier axle if it is truely LSD Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 The '79 620 standards had 4.11 in them. Most others were 4.375. Some 2wd 720s had 4'11s Long box automatics did, maybe others. On a 720, look below the right hood hinge on the inner fender. There is an aluminum tag. At bottom it will say TRANS/AXLE.......... FS5W71B......... HF41 (the 41 means 4.11 ratio) This one's a 3.889 but you get the idea. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/720%20stuff/720stuff060Large.jpg[/img]"] Once you get one (4.11 or 4.375) you will need to remove the swap the wagon side gears into it because the truck axles are a larger 29 spline and the wagon is only 23. The side gears have the internal splines to match the axle. All in all it's probably easier to have a shop swap the parts... no! don't let your buddy do it! Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 hey guys fineline bought a lsd for his 620 brand new, i cant remember who makes it but its in his 620 turbo build thread, they run about 500$ which isnt too bad Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I would really like that Frontier axle if it is truely LSD its a viscous style LSD and even has the sticker that says: 'use only limited slip differential oil' on the pumpkin anyone who can use it, please PM me! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) I don't think so. Should all be like this inside: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/720%20stuff/diffPathfinderLSDclutchpack10Large.jpg[/img]"] Here's the older Path rear: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/720%20stuff/Pathfinder--D-21conversion039Large.jpg[/img]"] The 1st-gen Pathfinder LSD breakaway torque specs at 260-289 ft-lbs. The 00-02 models spec 138-180 ft-lbs of cross-axle torque. The 03-04 only specs 29-43 ft-lbs. Making them basically an LSD in name only. The only difference between 1st gen Path and the 00-02 LSD is that the spring discs/plates are keyed to engage the side gear and the case like the rest of the clutch pack, while the X-terra LSDs are not. To go with them you need longer keepers. X stack on left, Pathy stack on the right: Edited June 27, 2009 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
dat521kid Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 here is mine off a pathfinder Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Same as my project. I cut and trimmed the 5 link and spring perches off and painted it. Have to make leaf spring mounts yet. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/720%20stuff/Pathfinder--D-21conversion031Large.jpg[/img]"] http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/720%20stuff/Pathfinder--D-21conversion035Large.jpg[/img]"] http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/720%20stuff/Pathfinder--D-21conversion046Large.jpg[/img]"] Traded some Z20E 6" rods for new rotors for it. :D Quote Link to comment
dat521kid Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 ^^^damn that looks good mike, is that going on the 620 or the 521? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Eventually on the 620. The 521 was a '71 that I bought when it was 7-8 years old. It's long gone. The 620 has 12.5X33s and needs more gear. The front end is a Toyota and is about 1" wider on each side. Not noticeable with the lift and big tires but the 59" wide Path will even it up. Did you take yours apart yet?? The parking brake is a tiny drum brake with tiny shoes inside the rotor. Edited June 27, 2009 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
dat521kid Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 oh its gonna be a lifted truck, nice.. havent messed with it yet, i will later when i find a deal on the rotors and calipers cause mines are pretty beat, i did undo one of the sides and found the hand break cable is on its last finger about to rip apart. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Oh, it's lifted alright. About 14" higher than stock. I blew the stock rear 2-3 years back because I didn't notice a leaking pinion seal and it went dry. I swapped in another, but when installing it I noticed it was a 4.11, crap. With L20B and 33s it was pretty s l o w. I up-graded to a larger torque-ier Z24 motor but it really needs at least 4.375s in it. Quote Link to comment
dat521kid Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 so mike, can you tell me what year lsd i have? and the gears? thanks, or where i can find it? another thing, how do you think it will play with the ka24e? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 If you have access to the Path it came out of, look below the right hood hinge on the passenger side inner fender. Tucked up in there is an aluminum tag like this: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/720%20stuff/720stuff061Small.jpg[/img]"] Near the bottom is: TRANS/AXLE ..... RE4RO1A..... HG46 The HG is the rear diff size type/diameter, the 46 is for the 4.625 ratio. The Path also has an HG43 which would be 4.375 You can also take apart and read the numbers stamped on the crown gear. The 4.625 would read : http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/720%20stuff/Pathfinder--D-21conversion024Lar-1.jpg[/img]"] 37/8 = 4.625 35/8 = 4.375 You could mark the disc brake rotor and count the number of pinion (driveshaft) turns for one complete rotor turn. If over 4 1/2 it has to be a 4.625. Between 4 and 4 1/2 would be the 4.375. Quote Link to comment
dat521kid Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 the pathy is long gone, i'll try the other tips you've given me, thanks -robert Quote Link to comment
