This is what I understand the situation to be on the Y61:
- Wagons with H260 rear diff:
TB48DE Manual
TB45E Manual (old, before 2000?). I have one of these 
.
- Wagons with H233B rear diff:
RD28ETi
TB42S (Middle East?)
TB45E Manuals (later, 2000 and up?)
TB45E Auto
TB45S (Middle East?)
TB48DE Auto
ZD30DDTi Manual
ZD30DDTi Auto
TD42
TD42Ti
- Hardtops all use H233B rear diff
- All rear leaf sprung pickups use H260 rear diff
- All rear coil sprung pickups (Australia) use H233B rear diff

So that means I must get hold of a set of 4.5/3.0TD diffs and it will be a straight swop if I I swop around the centre pieces?
I spoke to a guy at Gearmax in Pta and he reckons the crown and pinion alone would cost about R7000 EACH if you can get them from Nissan!!! Yikes!

The 4.8GL's have a 4.3 diff ratio. I am not aware of a combination where H260's were used with .7 ratios?
Maybe Tinus can halp if it does exist.
