I think your nissan rear is about 59" wide which would make the grand wagoneer dana 44 a great option. They are 6 lug and about 61" wide - drivers side drop. You could run them like that or if you really wanted them on the button you could add a spacer to the rear but I wouldn't even mess with that.
If you really wanted to get tricky, you could get any driver drop dana 44, like say a HP ford dana 44, narrow it a bit and then run chevy waggy outers to get the 6 lug pattern. Then if there was room and you wanted it you could go with a flat top knuckle and high steer too.

Sky is the limit, but the waggy would be good if the t-case is driver drop.... i'm not framilar with nissans at all

Here is some info on drivers drop options... for XJ's but would all work other then the bolt pattern, wich like stated could be changed by changing the hubs.

Early Bronco 44's are closer to center than most other axles.
