Got my first setup and everything seemed good. after about 400 miles it started to whine, took it back and they said the gears were trashed. Just installed another set of gears again with the Quaife and now the backlash is off and only whines on deceleration. Only 4 miles on it so taking it back to them tomorrow and no damage should be done. When I drained the fluid today for the swap, there were no metal shavings so thats a good sign. I did buy a donor diff to start though so my car hasn't had any down time as I still have the OEM one to swap in and out but 2 hours to swap each time and $60 worth of gear oil every swap is annoying. 1 more shot tomorrow and let's hope this is it for me.....
^did you have to pay for the second set of gears?
I should have started with a donor diff like you.

They may be covered by Nissan Warranty but I need a VIN from a frontier with the 4.08 gears in it. I did pay for them out right though in order to get everything together and finished. Could takes weeks/months to find someone willing to let me use their vin.

Mine is all gear related. The quaife performed perfectly and with whining changing situations, even with the new gears that its clear its a gear issue and not the diff issue. Now the quaife sizing does vary from unit to unit which is what makes it so hard to shim. Their machining isnt identical everytime and as we all know, the mm's REALLY count when shimming.
