"The S15 helical (which comes from the spec-R car in japan) will go right into the R200 on an S13, or S14.
The diff has nothing to do with the drive ratio !!
The final drive gears consist of the pinion, and the ring gear.
There is no need to remove the pinion gear when changing the diff,
and the ring gear bolts to the diff.
So what ever gear ratio you have now, is the ratio you have after installing an S15 helical.
The only problem people get into is that if they buy an S15 helical without the output shafts.
They are larger than the standard R200 shafts.

I have one S15 helical in stock, and several in transit from Japan.
The one I have now does not have the shafts,
but I also have new shafts from a dealer in transit.

There is a shop in Walnut CA (J-spec USA) that is advertising new shafts, and I ordered in 2 sets, but it was a scam !!!

The S15, like most other Nissan diffs takes 2 different length shafts (side 'A', and side 'B').
When the shipment came in today, all that came was the side 'A'.
This Rip-Off joint will not return my calls or e-mails - so beware!!

So now I will have to order 4 more side 'B' shafts from Japan.

For the complete set (S15 helical & both shafts) I get $650.
And I will sell the new shafts (pair - left & right) for $350.

I expect these shafts to be hitting my door in about 6 weeks.

Thanks,
