How much should i worry about
Terranosaurus:
On the Maverick (Terrano II) that big blues got, the rear axle is the same as used on some patrols and the front diff is a shorter pinioned version of the upgraded diff used on impreza WRX STI's so they can be regarded as bomb proof.
Only heard of one person breaking a shaft and by his own admission that was his own stupid fault, bouncy up and down with loads of wheel spin etc, it just grabbed and snapped the driveshaft clean in half. Not herd of half shafts failing. I suspect CVs might be an issue if you mod things to get more droop travel than standard on the front but thats major engineering. It is possible to put a R200 diff in the front instead of the R180 but only heard of it being done on other Nissans in the states.
Bottom line jap stuff is so over engineered compared to LR that even in the countries where Nissans/Toyotas etc are as popular as LR over here they don't go in for up rated shafts and axles.

Thank you all for putting that to bed.
Right now to change the tyre order from effeminate at's to some nice special track insa turbo's! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: 8)
Terranosaurus:
How big you going?
lambert:
Marked as 31.10-50.15 which if i go for insa turbo's is about 31.5 by 9.5 on the tread. I think that Fedima extremes are a bit wider but no taller.
That way i still have room for the front's to compress without catching
