    The 41 indicates the ratio is 1:4.1 looks like a standard Nissan diff to me
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    With that disc on the side of the housing with the hoses linked to it, would suggest the factory vacuum operated diff lock. Same as mine.
    You should have a switch in the cab somewhere saying diff lock. Mine is down bellow next to cig lighter. Not sure where in the GQ though.

    Yes. some vacuum lines are there and two wires are hanging up from the diff. Couldn't find any connector near by to plug in
    I have small selector for diff lock on - off, next to DVD player. I found the solenoids for vacuum control.
    Currently I'm doing a mod in fuel system. Next will be sorting out diff lock.
