Hey everyone on here i've done alot of reading a research on this topic, so before i get flamed at i just wanted to lay that point down.

Heres my situation:

1995 240sx Open DIff. I want to install a VLSD on it.

I recently purchased a 300zx TT DIFFERENTIAL R230v with one axel for next to nothing and i've been reading that this DIFF isn't the ideal diff for the 240sx because of its SIZE and Final gear 3.69 as compared to the r200.

I've read numerous thread about people saying that it can't be done because of the housing on the DIFF and i've also read that it does work with some housing swapping. ie. Changing cases. And i know that the 300zx Diff has the 6 bolt ends and some modify is going to be needed.

OK so heres my question how can i make this work ?
Can i reuse my stock 3x2 axels and output shafts so i can retain my stock half shafts by taking te 3x2 output shafts from my stock open ended diff?
and is it true that the housing on the 300zx is too large ? and can it be swapped out with my stock diff to make it work/?

I know this is alot of questions, but if anyone can just tell me if theres a way to make this 300zx TT VLSD Diff will work without too much trouble. Or should i just sell it and find a r200

thanks in advanced!
