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.

Any diff specialist should be able to sell you the gearsets new. Or you can try Nissan spare parts department but they will most likely overcharge you. I went to one diff place to ask if you can fit Pintara gears and they said no they are a different kett

Hang on Steve....Are you saying that Nissan skyline/Pintara diff gears will fit in a VN/VP diff?

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.
