Here you guys go, finally got time in the machine shop at school to make this. Havent got a chance to try and set it up yet, I'll let you guys know in a week or so.

Overall length: 1.615 (I got this number from xtoolbox, I hope its right)
Major inside diameter: 1.440 (this can be oversized a bit, since it sits on the rough machined surface
Minior inside diameter (shoulder): 1.182 (I held this tolerance almost exactly since it sits on the outter bearing surface)
Shoulder length: .150

I cant remeber what the outside diameter is, but its just small enough to fit inside the outter bearing.

Maybe I'm overthinking things, but it appears that the spacer that Carl made for Datz is shorter than mine. In his thread, he said he basicly made it end where the rough machining stops and the outter bearing surface starts. Meaning its about .165 shorter.

And on top of that the random factory spacer that I have is about .475 LONGER than the one I made.

I've gone and confused myself.

the one you made is correct. The spacer I got from Carl ended up being too short. The gear shop had to make a new one.

If this works I can draw it up in AutoCad so other people can just have it made at a local machine shop.

I just called my friend, he wont be able to help me set it up till the 16th since he is out wheeling this weekend.

PS has anyone setup those Nissan gears Brent posted a few weeks ago?

I have setup nissan gears, but not the 5.14s, should be the same just that the spacer on yours is removable instead of machined into the pinion.

I think it was ICEMAN, he said 4-6 weeks. Not sure if it has been that long or not.

It's obsolete, Nismo now sells a 5.14 set for the 90+ diffs. AC has it available, only under the Frontier/Xterra section, but they are applicable to ALL 90+ H233B diffs. Thread:

No it allows you to use the $650 "modified" gear set that AC promises is a bolt in appliction Roll Eyes . If you need it I can auto CAD it. We found that something maybe .075 longer would have been nice and a few thousands smaller in exterior diameter. My shim stack was something like .140 or bigger I cant remember. I've done some hard wheeling on this setup, including some nice smoky burnouts on wet rock. If you need it let me know.

Basicly, dont waste your time with the "modified" set, buy the correct ones. Or better yet swap to axles that you can easily find cheap parts for.

why dan? order the correct gear set for your truck from AC, it's cheaper and requires no modifications to be installed.

I have the gear set already. It IS the $625 "modified set" that AC sells, but this spacer is required.
