I broke a 6 bolt axle on my 96. Will S13 axles fit? Any other nissan axles fit?

**********UPDATE************* I broke a wheel stud(4 lug) ! Im also running 30mm spacers. I was driving to a friends house and my wheel almost fell off! I looked in my side view mirror and seen my wheel flopping around! I jacked it up, pulled off the wheel and seen 1 oe wheel stud broke off. That made the spacer come loose. The spacer was bolted to the wheel good, just the spacer must of vibrated off the hub. My set up is 4x 30mm Ichiba spacers with hub centric rings.(4lug)

Now I have a good reason to do my z32 brake/5lug swap. Next time I will get the correct offset wheels!I was going over a rail road track that was like a ramp. I got the rear end off the ground a inch of two. I was accelerating when it lifted the wheels broke free, rpm's shot up, I landed and now my normal nismo lsd clunking is alot louder and sounds like my axle is about to brake.

I have a S14 with 6 bolt axles, Will S13 6 bolt axles bolt up?

I have searched with no answers.

I don't wanna change anything but the axles so thanks! I can find s13 in the junkyard but never a s14. I found 3 s14 over a 3 year period at my 3 local u-pull-it's.

pull your axels first and see if they are damaged, or you might have just knocked something loose. check to make sure your diff is ok. if it is your axels then i have some S14 6 bolt axels that i could sell you but it might be cheaper to get s13 6 bolts from your local junkyard because the weight the shipping might be high.

I was just thinking to check them after every time I go drifting.
