what kind of axel delema are you having? if it is that they are 5bolt output shafts, get some j30 axles from a salvage yard.

student_drifter · 09-18-2005, 11:37 PM

being that im on a TIGHT budget and im kind of stretching this swap out i wanna make sure that the J30 ones are the ones i need it is the 5 star output shafts though especially being that S13 guys are running these causes me concern cause S14 shafts are longer than the S13 ones...

You probably don't want to hear this
but if you are a student
and low on funds
it would probably be best if you waitied until you were done with school
before you start with an expensive hobby such as cars

I have several sets of 5-bolt axles from R32, R33 and 300ZX... can anyone confirm the S14 axles are longer than the S13? I haven't swapped the axles on an S14 so I don't know for sure.

ill confirm that the S14 ones are longer... being that the R32 axles that came with my diff were in my friends S13... im just trying to figure out like which axles i could use i have an idea that MAYBE the pre 95 J30 axles will work but i need someone with a pre 95 J30 diff in their S14 to confirm that for me if they can...

ok, Z32 axles will not work in our cars. they are longer. S13/S14/j30 axles are all the same length. As far as R32, I am not sure, but its a simple deal to line a set of R32 axles up against a set of S14 axles and see. If they are the same length, then they will work.
Remember if your going for J30 axles and you want 5 bolt, they need to be pre 95. 95 and up were 6 bolt.

anyone else have input?

You should verywell buy LSD rather than stick with VLSD. It'll turn to shit on you in no time.

student_drifter · 09-20-2005, 04:20 PM

i got it for free... no complaining but i dont want it just sitting around attached to my car which i cant move unless i swap the open diff back on... and im lazy

Also, both axles are not the same length. Ones shorter than the other iirc.
