1) Does a standard R200 diff (say ATS carbon or even a HLSD) swap into the Q45 diff housing?? Its obvious the pinion shaft bearings are actually bigger/longer/etc in the Q45 vs the standard R200 (Z32, 240sx, J30) diff.

2) Can a standard R200 diff (again, say S15 HLSD or ATS carbon) swap into a 350Z R200?? I suspect the answer is yes as a direct swap??
Because the Q45 diff is 25 years old, annoying to source, requires a Z32 axle or some machining know how, and I've seen them explode.

Also for what it's worth if I played the S chassis game again I'd do the 8.8 IRS setup and call it a day personally
