I already have a vlsd from a 92' s13, it's getting worn out so I'm gonna trade my friend for his vlsd out of a 95' s14.

Will i need to make any modifications to the s14 diff to fit in my s13? Or does it just bolt up?

Just swap the rear cover. That's a pretty nice friend to just 'trade' you.

yeah thats the problem with the diff i have, the front bushings from the s13 diff look totally different from the s14 and i dont know if they will line up. The s14 pumpkin i have has 2 bolts on the rear cover, and two large soild (no bushings) holes up front, it also has the sensor for the ABS. I just need to know what i need to do to make this thing fit, i'm having drifting withdrawl!!!!

You need to use some thickass washers between the diff and the mount.

sounds like washers should work but the holes are huge! like an inch wide, i've been thinking that this might be where i need to press in my stock bushings.....

You can always swap the guts.
