Diff Gears
Hi Guys. Just wanted to make sure that my perception is correct. When upgrading your diff gears, its always has to be both front and rear right?

Legendary
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

Definitely gotta keep the ratios the same, if you want to use it as a 4wd

Yes Stropp was a little vague there. So fundamentally No Matter What! You Must swap both front and back diff centres to matching ratios. No Matter What. Un-matched ratios would be immediately catastrophic.
Stropp meant if you were fitting a diff lock then you don't have to fit one to the front and the back, you could do either, or.
Regardless, the diff ratios Must Match front and rear.

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.

Diff ratios must remain the same between the front and the rear otherwise the two axels will e rotating at different speeds resulting in "transfer windup", which will destroy your transfer case. For this same reason, you must use same outer diameter tyres on all wheels and never drive on high traction surfaces such as bitumen in 4WD
