Hey guys I just bought my s13 finally and I'm planning on going LSD. and I looked at the options and I see people selling the 300zx vlsd with axles, but my concern is if the 300zx axles fit the s13 like bolt on or mods don't know i tried searching but nothing.

or what can I do to give it a LSD I'm on a low budget. thanks in advance

(You guys are compared to the other forums witch they all go and say........SEARCH BUTTON) that's wrong because that's what the forums are for help one another with whatever you get stuck with and each day we have new drivers of nissan 240's ect)

I have the VLSD out of a '91 Infiniti Q45. On the driver's side, I have the driver's side axle from a Z32 Turbo, on the passenger side I have the driver's side axle from the same Q45. It all works out perfect. The axles have a different spline pattern than the 240, so I have Z32 Turbo hubs as well.

The driveshaft doesn't bolt up right to the VLSD, so I re-drilled the input shaft flange. Make sure if you do this, it needs to be perfect or you'll know right away.

So its the hubs that I need? Could they be any different than the 240's? I just looked at your build and I saw the part where you drilled the driveshaft flange to fit the s13 driveshaft. My concern is just the axles.... so its the hubs that I need? thanks

I was asking my self the same question I have a S13 and I bought a 300Zx Z32 non turbo vlsd w/axles first one is shorter than the other wich one is driver side or passeger I don't know. second someone told me that one fits in the driver side but the oher is too long to work so I need to know and also you wich one works on wich side and how much I need to cut the other one to make it work. And yes I know I have to do it on a machine, etc. Thanks in advance.

By the way hubs are the same spline pattern.

All of my Z32 parts are from a Twin Turbo, bolt pattern, spline pattern, everything is different.

Check the tech pages... (link above) everything is pretty much covered:http://www.nicoclub.com/archiv....html

Z32 Twin Turbo is not the same will need hubs to make it work with the twin turbo axles but on with the non turbo axles you can use the same hubs from the 240sx no need to change the hubs there. The thing is I don't know wich (axle) one goes on what side and wich one is left or right, etc.
