Landed a Q45 diff for a steal. Want to make it work in my S14. So basically I'd like a few straight answers to clarify all my searching.
Q45 Diff has 5 bolt outputs which require 5 bolt axles..
(S14 output shafts straight up won't work, right?)
5 bolt axles have larger shafts to the wheel hubs, so you SHOULD use 300zx hubs and brakes while your at it... (To be specific for those who don't use search, it has been suggested that you would need the Drivers side axle from a TT 300zx and Drivers side axle from Q45- please verify the years of those vehicles and which side of on the car they are used when installed please!!??)
Can the 5 bolt axle ends that connect to the hub be switched with S14 or a specific year J30 axle end to retain the OE S14 hubs??
Going back to the INPUT shaft of the Q45 Diff, if you line up the S14 drive shaft between the original holes, you can redrill new holes to keep the OE drive shaft.
Can the input shaft of the Q45 Diff be replaced with a specific year shaft from another car to match the bolt holes in OE S14 shaft?
It's all very redundant, but I want to be clear. I've got a shit ton of work to do besides the diff and i want to do it without delays in the middle of work. Thanks for your help gurus!
