As far as I know if you got the "R32/33 GT-R" part number Nismo GT Pro with the 6x1 output shafts it should still just work in an S-chassis housing.

The reason Villains shafts exist is the same reason the Nismo GT Pro comes with its own output shafts. All the 6x1 R200s (Q45, Z33, GT-R) as well as the S15/R34 HLSD use 30-spline shafts. Most other R200s including all S13/14 use 29-spline shafts.

So Villains made 29-spline 6x1 shafts for people who want to use Z33 axles with their existing S13/14 LSDs, meanwhile Nismo supplies 30-spline shafts in 3x2, 5x1, or 6x1 along with the GT Pro rather than make different versions of the GT Pro itself to be compatible with the dizzying array of factory output shafts (29 vs. 30 spline and allll the different lengths).
