Powertrax No Slip Locker for C200K Axle – Xterra / Frontier 05+ Now Available!

The Powertrax No Slip Locker for 05+ Nissan Xterra / Frontier w/ C200K Rear Axle is now available! The latest design in traction adding differential technology. It combines the smooth operation of a limited-slip differential, with the traction performance of a locking differential. A precise synchronization mechanism eliminates the ratcheting sounds typical of other locking differentials. Special gear and spring design reduce the backlash and therefore driveline windup. Only ultra strength material is used which is 67% stronger than titanium.

33 Spline H233B Lock Right – Update

My contact at Richmond gear was out for about 2 months and when he returned I called to get an update on this project. It turns out that this locker was confused with the 05+ Nissan Xterra/Frontier lockers! The good news is that the 05+ trucks have a locker around the corner however the 33-spline lock right isn’t designed yet. We talked about the similarities between the 31-spline H233B and the 33-spline and then i was told that as soon as i get a carrier to them, they will start working on this project.

Being that the 33-spline LSD carriers are more common than the 33-spline open carriers, we also talked about building the lock right for the LSD carrier rather than the open one. I’ll be sending them one of each carrier so they can make the call on what they want to make. The upside to this mix-up is that we may end up getting a lock right that wilk fit the more common, LSD differential reducing the chance of you having to hunt down a proper carrier for the locker.

I’ll be keeping you posted as this project develops.

Nissan ’96 – ’04 LockRight Locker and H233B Gear Update

Over the last few days i’ve gotten a few e-mails regarding a couple products that have been in the works, so i figured i’d blast out a blog really quick to update everyone.

Nissan Pathfidner, Xterra, Frontier 33-spline H233B Lock Right Locker
The big thing that we’ve seen a ton of feedback on is the 33-spline H233B lockright locker. due to the fact that multiple people started calling Richmond, Richmond has now bumped up the project to next in line and we should be seeing prototypes done in the next 4 – 5 weeks. Then we’ll be testing them in a small hand full of trucks before the final production run is made. we’re looking at having these lockers be a reality and on the shelf in about 3 months time. for the original blog post on this, visit:Nissan Pathfidner, Xterra, Frontier Lock Right Locker
Nissan Xterra, Pathfinder, Frontier Hardbody H233B 5.38 Gears
After months of waiting I finally got minimum order requirements for making these gears and they ended up being higher priced than expected putting them at about a $400 price range. However, I did spend some extensive time on the phone with Nissan Motorsports and we ended up finding 2 more gear sets in the system that were used in OEM application overseas that are most likely deeper than the 5.14 ratio that we already have available. We won’t know the ratio untill they come in from japan and we count the teeth. We should have a sample of each gear set in about 4 – 5 weeks so keep your fingers crossed.

Although it isn’t the cheaper gearing option that we were hoping, it is hopfully a deeper gearing option that the Nissan 4×4 community could really use.

Also along the lines of gearing, I got in contact with a company today that has connections in Australia that may have more cost effective gearing options than OEM Nissan gears as well as a possible source for H260 axle parts.. this is the big 3rd member type axle that is put under some Nissan Patrols Overseas. having a source for H260 3rd members could be a door opening in the direction of a H260 fabricated housings which would be a beefy option for hardcore wheelers that want to keep it Nissan.
