300zx TT r230 Differential in an s14 Chasis? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Z32s use a 4channel ABS setup, placing the wheel skid sensors on the output shafts. This adds a little length on them so regular J30 axles will not fit without seriously compressing them. The best option for installing a Z32 NA diff is to swap the output shafts for J30/S14/S13 VLSD shafts and use the existing axles.

But, the ABS sensor is not on the input shaft(j30), its on the output shafts (Z32). So does this mean the spacing on standard 5 bolt axles will be wrong?

dave??

No, actually Russ nailed it. Though I have seen people put them in with pre 95 J30 axles but I have been on hand to see how much they compressed.

^ As have I. In an S14 with a slightly wider subframe they'll seemingly fit better, but the axle is still too compressed and will eventually bind as the tension puts extreme pressure on the CV joints.
