Bought my friends OEM 5 bolt pumkin even though I have a 6 bolt. I was wondering if I can take the 6 bolt flanges out of my open diff and swap them in the 5 bolt vlsd. If so how exactly do I do this? I never toook apart my diff before so im a newbie at this. Thanks.

Supposedly its possible if you grind down the tip.

this has been talked bout in other threads...i still think its only possible to make one of the shafts work upon my own personal inspection of the two shafts when i was gettin ready to put in my z32 diff

so then, would it just be easier to buy some 5 bolt axles then?

i think so, they can be had for pretty cheap, i got mine for 100 shipped, bolt right in, no problems

if you have the Z axles then theres a pretty simple way to do it, it involves some welding but works great. im in the process of doing it right now actually, heres the link http://www.gbauto.net/crzycav86/axle_swap.htm check it out. i owe this guy a ton, he helped me save so much money by doing it this way.
