S13 casing diff + 4.3 ratio = S14 VLSD backplate doesn't fit, help please! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Just as above... I bought a diff from an S13. The casing is from an S13 (ABS), the CWP is 48:11 one. The S13 VLSD backplate was a perfect fit, but I need to put it on a S14. The S14 VLSD backplate I have doesn't clear the crownwheel by about 5mm.

Could anyone point me in the right direction what kind of backplate I need? I suppose it should be a skyline one, as the ratio is from skylines.

Thanks a lot in advance!

The Z32 R200 diff cover may fit with the clearance needed.

Thanks a lot!

Could anyone say this for sure? It's not easy to find parts like this in Hungary, so I may need to import is from somewhere else too. I don't want to buy twice..

Solved. Needed to remove the oil pickup and filter from the backplate. Now it's all fine.
