Which ones? The cover? The ones that attach to the frame? The output shaft bolts? D-shaft ones?

I don't have the specs, but it would help if you were more specific.

I recently changed the diff on my car. It was welded and I replaced it with an S14 factory diff. The S13 has a different bolt pattern on the cover of the diff to the frame. It's a 4 bolt system. The S14 uses a 2 bolt system. What I did was take the back cover off and swap it to make it fit properly. So far, there are no major issues.
