Sforteen is an unknown quantity at this point
The GTR does not have an R230 man, i have 3 different nissan rear ends at my house..

Stock S14 R200 from my own car - Small pinion 200mm ring gear

R32 GTR R200 From a complete GTR rear subframe i ordered - Big pinion (simular to R230) but still same 200mm ring gear and has bigger stub shafts than normal S chassis R200 (except helical equipped S15's)

And an R230 from twin turbo Z32 which is huge all around, bigger bearings, Stub shafts (even bigger than GTR)

You are correct the GTR has bigger axles but doesnt mean its an R230.. the 230 refers to the size of the ring gear. the GTR still has a 200mm ring gear, however the rear ends are stronger than 240's due to the larger pinions, which is the first thing to break.
