Yes they are all available new. I have been using a secondhand pintara set in my Fairlane for almost a year now and with about 130rwkw I have had no problems with it.

Taz2,
Nissan Skylines and Pintaras used the Borg Warner / BTR 78 series diff which many Holdens and Fords also used. I don't know for sure what diffs VN/VP's use but if they are 78 series like the Fords of that era then the Nissan gears should fit.
