z31 R200 clsd compatibility?

[jgauspohl]

I'm looking at buying a clsd out of a z31 (87'-89' non ss) and rebuilding it with more plates...I know it is an R200 but it's a long nose and I've read quite a bit over the past few weeks on the compatibility. I am wanting to know if I can used this in my q45 diff housing with a 4.6 gear out of an xterra to complete my setup. I can almost guess that it will fit just fine...but maybe the halfshafts of the q45 might pose an issue due to different spline counts maybe? If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

never mind did some research and the spline count is different and the clsd can only be used with open r200's in the s chassis's
