There was never a hub rebuild kit from Nissan as an original spare. Only individual components.

You can download the 1973 Parts Manual, or refer to the following online page:

http://www.carpartsmanual.com/nissan/pa ... ge-spindle

The big seals (#16) on that page are really the only ones difficult to obtain. You can order from Amayama. The knuckle bearings (4 total) are regular bearings, as well as the wheel bearings. Even the wheel hub seal can be locally sourced.

--------------
I ordered the following hub seals from Amazon, but have not installed yet (insert disclaimer here:

TCM 65X88X12TC-BX NBR (Buna Rubber)/Carbon Steel Oil Seal, TC Type, 2.559" x 3.465" x 0.472"
65mm x 88mm x 12mm
https://www.amazon.com/TCM-65X88X12TC-B ... B01BUUP2AQ

---------------
I also have this in my notes regarding the Knuckle Bearings (4 total). Please note that older Patrols use a cone on the upper caps instead of bearings. The cones are unobtanium!

30304 Nachi Tapered Roller Bearing (purchased from VXB Bearings Amazon)

--------------
There are O-rings on each base for the bearings, that you probably can source locally as well. There's also bearing (#18) inside the spindle. This is probably not critical if yours have locking hubs, since it probably has no wear at all. Don't have a reference for it, but for sure can be sourced easily.

Tonight I picked up the new heart for the patrol...a 5.3 LM7 engine from a 1999 Silverado. it runs great and I cant wait to drop it in! Before I can mate the trans up, I need to rebuild it, and also swap out the mainshaft for the conversion shaft to allow the Dana 18 to fit. Not sure when I will be able to get all that done, maybe in the next month or so...just depends on finances really lol

Step 1 has been complete!

the new engine is ready to be cleaned up, wire harness modified, and patrols floor pans repaired (rusted away). Does anyone know of a 3d model of a G60 patrol, specifically the front half with frame rails and body/engine bay? I would love to be able to design some custom motor mounts in CAD.

I have started re-wiring the engine harness, getting it ready for standalone operation, and it is almost done. I am missing the OBD2 plug, but thats very easy to wire in, just 3 wires. Also started taking the unnecessary accessories off the engine, and Ill have to figure out some kind of idler pulley replacement for the power steering pump since I wont be running PS.

Well I found a schematic of some frame dimensions so I made a crude model of the front half of the Patrols frame. Also got an LS engine model, and a bellhousing and trans model. the bellhousing and trans arent exact (621 housing with a T56, whereas ill be using SM465 trans with an old school bellhousing), but it will do just to help with 3d positioning of the engine. This is what I have so far:

I have finished reworking the harness and its ready for "1-wire" operation. Ill just need to get the ECU tuned to remove VATS and emissions, and also program in a fan turn-on signal.

took the gas tank off yesterday, and by the looks of how it was mounted, I don't think its even a Patrol gas tank. previous owner(s) welded in brackets to mount some other gas tank, but it actually fit pretty well. I think I will go ahead and re-use it after I clean all the crap out of it...one question though, is the top hose in this picture simply the tank vent hose?
