R200 Install gone bad....need help

Guys

I have an entire rear subframe out of a non-turbo 300ZX. I assumed that I would have everything I needed to put the R200 in, considering all the write-ups I can find all deal with installing J30 difs, not the 300zx dif.

So now on to the crappy part.....

The S14 I have has 6 bolt output shafts. There are 3 sets of 2 12mm bolts holding the axles to the output shafts.

The R200 rear end I have from the NA Z has 5 bolt output shafts. They are 14mm bolts.

So now I start thinking OK maybe I can swap output shafts between the difs, and my stock S14 axles will bolt up now. I get the output shafts out and immediately notice they are different. Not going to work

Now I am thinking lets just use the NA 300ZX axles, since they are the same spline hub, and they have the correct output flanges on for the R200.

I get the axles out and set them side by side, and immediately notice that the 300ZX axle lenght, and the S14 axle lenght are different, by quite a bit. I tried putting them in to see if the diff would fit up in there, no luck, they're too long.

What the heck do I need to make this rear end work?

Thanks
