Need help with VLSD info - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have been searching and googling for a while now and can't find a clear cut answer on what needs to be done to fit an R200 VLSD into a non ABS S13.
I have found this thread (Duff man's post about a quarter the way down) and it helps a little, but a lot of the info contradicts each other. http://zilvia.net/f/archive-faqs/537...f-options.html

As far as I know, most VLSD's come on cars with ABS like the J30 and Z32 N/A. I thought this would mean that the driveshaft would not fit because of the longer differential. Though this thread says a J30 is a "direct fit" with the S13 cover.

This is what confuses me, apparently this "end all" for VLSD questions says that the extra length due to ABS doesn't need to be assessed.

I know this has been asked a lot and all, and I hope you can understand my logic.
many thanks
