-	The Hitachi H150 differential was fitted to 1975-up Sunny, starting in September 1974. It has a 150mm (5.91 inch) ring gear, so is stronger than the [[Differential|H145]] that was fitted to previous models. H150 is strong enough to handle the torque from A14 and A15 engines. Datsun used the H150 for all A14-powered cars.	+	The Hitachi H150 differential was fitted to 1975-up Sunny RWD models, starting in September 1974. It has a 150mm (5.91 inch) ring gear, so is stronger than the [[Differential|H145]] that was fitted to previous models. H150 is strong enough to handle the torque from A14 and A15 engines. Datsun used the H150 for all A14-powered cars. Also used by Violet [[A10]] with A14 engine.

It can cope with more torque than the smaller H145 (the H145 was never fitted behind A14 engines). Good for maybe 125 lb. ft. of torque.

		+
		+	Ratios from a economy oriented 3.545 to a performance 4.111 were factory offered. In addition, Nismo sold racing (high RPM) ratios of 4.250, 4.375 and 4.625.

		+	= H150 vs H150A =
		+	H150A is the 2nd revision and is a strengthened type. It is identical to the early H150 but can can higher and lower ratio gearsets due to a changed offset.
		+
		+	H150 3.889 to 4.111
		+	H150A 3.545 to 4.625
		+
		+	The changed offset means there are different gearsets. 3.889 and 4.11 were available for both carriers:
		+
		+	3.889 (H150) 38100-H5000
		+	3.889 (H150A) 38100-H7100
		+
		+	4.111 (H150) 38100-H5100
		+	4.111 (H150A) 38100-H7200
		+
		+	Revised H150A gear carrier marked with an 'A'
		+	<br>{{Album|16206}}
		+
		+	= Identification =
		+	H145 can be distinguished by studs, whereas H150 uses bolts to fasten the diff to the case.
		+
		+	For 1980 and newer vehicles, look at the [[ID|engine compartment build plate]]. It will list whether you have an H150A (HB) or regular H150 (HA).
		+
		+	{{Upload!|174_4fb4076aeaeb9.jpg}}
		+
		+	HA38 - 3.889 ratio
		+	HB37 - 3.700 ratio
		+	H?34 - 3.454 ratio
		+
		+	The H150 flange is round. Some (if not all) [[H165]] are rectangular.

		+
		+	= Strength =
		+	The H150 is good for maybe 125 lb. ft. of torque, enough for any A-series engine. The H145 was rated for less than the torque of an A14, so do not use it with an A14, it is not guaranteed to last.

		+	== Australia ==
		+	For Australian production, there were only two ratios available in the H150 differential:
		+
		+	* 3.9 was used in all cars powered by an A12 or A14 engine (most of the Sunny wagons in Australia were A14 equiped)
		+
		+	* 3.7 was used in the A15 powered Sunny Wagon because the increased torque of the A15 engine allowed it to handle the load quite happily even with the slightly taller gearing. So acceleration is still the same, even though the gear is taller. If the 3.7 was fitted to an A14, it would accelerate more slowly.

Current revision

The Hitachi H150 differential was fitted to 1975-up Sunny RWD models, starting in September 1974. It has a 150mm (5.91 inch) ring gear, so is stronger than the H145 that was fitted to previous models. H150 is strong enough to handle the torque from A14 and A15 engines. Datsun used the H150 for all A14-powered cars. Also used by Violet A10 with A14 engine.

Overview

The Hitachi H150 was fitted to B210s and B310s with A14 and A15 engine. It can cope with more torque than the smaller H145 (the H145 was never fitted behind A14 engines). Good for maybe 125 lb. ft. of torque.

Album 23983

Ratios from a economy oriented 3.545 to a performance 4.111 were factory offered. In addition, Nismo sold racing (high RPM) ratios of 4.250, 4.375 and 4.625.

H150 vs H150A

H150A is the 2nd revision and is a strengthened type. It is identical to the early H150 but can can higher and lower ratio gearsets due to a changed offset.

H150  3.889 to 4.111
H150A 3.545 to 4.625

The changed offset means there are different gearsets. 3.889 and 4.11 were available for both carriers:

3.889 (H150)  38100-H5000
3.889 (H150A) 38100-H7100

4.111 (H150)  38100-H5100
4.111 (H150A) 38100-H7200

Identification

H145 can be distinguished by studs, whereas H150 uses bolts to fasten the diff to the case.

For 1980 and newer vehicles, look at the engine compartment build plate. It will list whether you have an H150A (HB) or regular H150 (HA).

HA38 - 3.889 ratio 
HB37 - 3.700 ratio 
H?34 - 3.454 ratio

The H150 flange is round. Some (if not all) H165 are rectangular.

Flange

H145: scalloped flange, bolt hole rectangle 36 x 50 mm
Post 487206

H150: 45 x 54 mm round or rectangular flange
H165: 45 x 54 mm round or rectangular flange

There are some differences between flanges on H165's, some long (~217.5mm from carrier mounting face to driveshaft flange face), some short (~202.5mm). Depth of hole for centering boss varies also.

H190: 50 x 60 mm, round or rectangular

Album 21048

Factory LSD has a sticker on the back of the diff housing.

Counting

To verify the ratio in the vehicle matches the original equipment (or build tag), you may count turns of the wheel vs turns of the driveshaft. If slightly less than 4 turns of the driveshaft results in one turn of the wheels, it is a 3.9 ratio. If it takes a bit more than 4 turns, it is a 4.111 ratio.

Even better is to note the stamped numbers on the ring gear. For example, this unit is stamped 39:11
Album 24439

39 divided by 11 = 3.545 ratio
Album 25276

Pinion gear is similarly stamped
Album 25278

Strength

The H150 is good for maybe 125 lb. ft. of torque, enough for any A-series engine. The H145 was rated for less than the torque of an A14, so do not use it with an A14, it is not guaranteed to last.

Australia

For Australian production, there were only two ratios available in the H150 differential:

• 3.9 was used in all cars powered by an A12 or A14 engine (most of the Sunny wagons in Australia were A14 equiped)

• 3.7 was used in the A15 powered Sunny Wagon because the increased torque of the A15 engine allowed it to handle the load quite happily even with the slightly taller gearing. So acceleration is still the same, even though the gear is taller. If the 3.7 was fitted to an A14, it would accelerate more slowly.

Limited Slip

Nismo sold an LSD unit for the H150.

See main article: LSD#H150

38420-RS210 4-pinion Limited Slip Differential Assembly
* fits both H150 and H150A gear carriers

Whilst NISMO produced H150 LSDs (Limited-Slip Differential), Axles baffles and Oil Coolers were not available from Nissan for the H150.

Swap Into H145 Housing

The easiest swap is to get the entire rear-axle assembly from a 1975 or newer B210 with A14 (140Y) -- this is the H150 (150mm diameter ring gear). The B210 main spring is 55mm longer, but the others can be used on the 1200 -- or use the 1200 springs.

Use a B310 propeller shaft with H150 diff in B110.

See Bolts right in!
Album 1660

NOTE: The 1974 B210 uses an H145, although the housing is the new stronger design. H145 can be distinguished by studs, whereas H150 uses bolts to fasten the diff to the case.

B210s have a strong axle housing (axles tubes are larger, to 2.2 inch up from 2.0 inch, so U-bolts are different). The B210s use an isolation clamp (the axle tube is rubber mounted), and so the mounting pad is wider. You will need the clamps, u-bolts and shock mounts to do a swap. The housing also user larger ball 72x32x19 bearings (up from 62x32x16) with both inside and outside seals. The B110 only had one seal.

Because the H150 is longer, the driveshaft is shortened by 7mm. The housing face is 2mm toward front of car (diff gear is 5mm larger)
Album 4653

You can also just put the H150 gear assembly in the stock H145 axle housing. You just need a 2mm spacer.
