S13 Kaaz diff into S14. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Here's the situation.
I have an S14.
I have an S13 diff with a Kaaz 2way installed already.

I want to take the Kaaz out of the S13 diff and put it in the S14 diff. My question is, will I need to get new bearings or any other parts for that matter to do this swap?

The Kaaz has been used. Or should I just swap in the complete s13 diff and get the s13 bolts and bushings for it?

It'll be a lot easier if you just swap in the S13 diff. I have this exact setup in my S14 and it'll bolt right up with some modifications:

- Use your S14 rear diff cover on the S13 diff
- You need to shave down the front mounting bolts as the S14 ones are too long to use with the S13 diff (or you could get the S13 bolts if you have them already)
- You'll also need BOTH Infiniti J30 5 bolt axles, don't use the Z32 ones. The J30 axles are the perfect length but you need both sizes, one short and one longer. Best place to find these is at a junkyard, or post up a WTB ad on here.

Good luck, let me know if you have any questions.
