I'm going to be taking them off a '93 300zx N/A ... i'm getting the hubs, lsd, e-brake line .... i've heard that the axles won't fit and I need to get some off a j30, but Ive done some searching and have read or have interpreted that I need some s14 lower control arms or somethin? ... anyways does anyone know EVERYTHING I will need for this set up? Thanks

4 lug to 5 lug swap:

Front:S14 SE 5-lug spindles with hubs.S14 lower balljoint(get aftermarket unit, Nissan dealers only sell the S14 balljoint with the lower control armwhich is not the same as an S13 control arm).S14 strut mounting bolts(they're larger than the S13 bolts, and you'll need to drill out the strut mounting holes on your struts).S14 5 lug rotor.

Rear:S14 5-lug (the Z32 non-turbo rear hub should also work).(the rear is just a remove-and-replace operation with only 4 bolts).S14 5 lug rotor.

The NON turbo VLSD has the same ratio as the 240 (4.06). The 300ZX uses the 2 bolt rear cover so if you own an S13 you'll need to switch it. The biggest problem with the 300ZX is that the output flanges are different. They look like a '5 star' flange where the 240SX uses 3 sets of 2.

listed here are some R200V VLSDs that will work:

Infiniti J30 95+ , No mods needed, but might need driveshaft that's used because of ABS sensor Infiniti J30 pre 95 , Needs new output flanges Infiniti M30 , No mods Infiniti Q45 , No mods

From what I've told, the spindle is not the same size.
