Do I need different length propeller shaft (output shaft from transmission to diff) to put the J30 VLSD (1994) in S13?

j30 lsd has the abs sensor so its a bit longer but the extra length can be absorbed by the slack thats in the drive drive train. typically.

so was that a yes or no cause i am doing the same diff swap and all i found was that 90-94 J30 LSD >> 89-94 240sx you need LSD,AXLES,BOLTS, BUSHINGS, SWITCH DIFF COVER. so do you need the drive shaft also

while the stock shaft will work, it will cause undo pressure on the bearings and seals. the ABS diff is 3/4 inch longer than non-abs. Get a one-piece drive shaft that is 3/4 shorter than stock.
