R230 Diff Swap in S14 Subframe - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey Im in need of help, I fabricated my S14 Subframe to fit the Z32 TT Diff R230, have someone done this in the past? If so what OEM axles were used? Kind of confused if I must use two Z32 TT short axles or the Z32/Q45 combo axles?

Thanks for the help!!

R230 requires a Q45 axle and a Z32 axle. I do not know the correct orientation though.

I thought the same but it uses two Z32 TT Short axles one has the be shortened. The R230 diff is wider than the Q45 Diff.
I'll post picture when the subframe is finalized

I'm running a Z33 diff in my S14 with the upgraded Z32/Q45 Axle combo with no problems. Z33 diff are physically bigger than a typical R200 so I would imagine its close to a R230.
