    The hub still on the car in the photo is an original Nissan GQ/GU free wheeling hub. Not sure about the black hub, possibly off an earlier model Patrol? Are there any markings on the black hub to indicate the manufacturer?

    With the black hub off does the splined section spin freely in the unlocked position and lock up in the locked position?

    Spins on both settings... Its more like a fake hub. seems more like a hub cap to me.

    I'd be trying to locate a Nissan manual hub kit. You can usually pick up all the bits you need to replace auto hubs with manual hubs as a kit second hand for about $250, this would give you all you need and a spare hub.

    No brand or marking on it. it feels like a hard plastic or lite metal casing. strange. im thinking someone broke the original and put it on to keep it working. the circlip was not on the outer axle on this side either as the hub would not go on if it was there.

    Yep i reckon ill be replacing it. What do you think of the after market hubs? They seem to be cheaper than nissan ones. Like all after market there is some dodgy ones out there im assuming. Any one had experience with them good/bad ones etc.

    Probably but can't be sure until I can try them on an axle.

    Burden, I've heard a lot of bad reports about AVM hubs.
