I know this stuff has been covered to death - but I've been searching and can't find a solid answer. I've killed my 180sx vlsd / axles after many miles of abuse (70k+) and i need a replacement. There is clicking from the rear at lower speeds / under load and maaaad play in the diff. Also diff doesn't lock anymore *at all* except randomly in the rain. Trying to figure out what to get.

I got a few questions:

1) Will Z32 Axles fit a stock S14 (with Z32 vlsd of course) or do I need J30 axles?

2) What's the difference between Z32 and J30 axles?

3) What is the gear ratio on a R33 VLSD. I've heard GT-R = 4.11, GTS = 4.36. Dunno if that's correct?

4) ECR33 is GTS and BNR33 is GTR, correct?

5) apparently the r33 vlsd I'm looking at is from a car that had an RB25DET. Were there non-GTR cars that had the DET? would that mean that it has a 4.11 rear or 4.36?
