If I understand correctly what I've read, the 4x4 versions had some kind of LSD R180 variant in them.

So, I'd guess all you need to do is find one in a junk yard and take that diff off of it and swap it. I'm not sure if the ratios will match up, tho...

Thanks for the info, I will check out some junk yards and have a buddy with a nissan 4x4 who might know the ratios.
