Do you have a pic of how the links are setup?
Can the diffs be shaved?
Any idea on clearance under the pumpkin with 35's?
And how extensive/expensive is the work to get the chromo longfields to fit?
It is great to chat to someone that has nissan tech

yes, GQ housing/MQ knuckles.
no radius arms, car had a parallel 5-link.
you can shave quite a bit off the housing, i have never done it, i know of others who have though. i am not sure on the clearance dimension, it is quite good, obviously it is going to be much better than a dana or other cast centre chunk axle of similar size.
to get the longfields in, you machine off the alloy nissan freewheeling hub to turn it into a 20mm spacer, then bolt it along with an 80 series cruiser drive flange to your hub with longer (65mm) cap screws.
you also have to machine a couple mm off the small copper thrust washer that lives inside the knuckle.
