so heres my issue right now, i swapped out the stock diff for a j30 diff LSD the axles that are on it are 300zx n/a axles (300zx conversion) and they bolted straight to the diff perfectly no issues.

i snapped my driver side rear axle a couple days ago, so now im looking all over and well the axle that comes up at autozone is 4 bolt to the diff (1 tab per bolt) and i was told that the axle is from a 90-95 300zx from the guy i bought the car off of, he said that it dosent matter what year, but now because ive seen that 4 bolt i go to other shops, Napa, Touge, Advanced auto, car quest, ect... and they either don't have it or don't have a picture, i just don't want to waste time and order something i don't need.

So what im wondering is, is the information i got right? basically what im asking is, are the 1990-1995 300zx N/A Axles 5 bolt too? or is it a new or later model 300zx n/a with the 5 bolt to the diff. I need a Driver side rear.

I found links but only talk about 300zx diffs which is not what im looking for.

Excuse all the grammar, and the entire paper i just wrote. My first 240sx so give me a little slack, just trying to get this solved as soon as possible.

all NA z32's are 5 bolt

all TT Z32's are 6 bolt (seperated 6 bolt, not 2x3)

thats what you get when you deal with idiots behind the counter..

they are probably looking at the picture on the website, and assuming it is correct

So it could be the right part then?
I mean the bolt pictures you can't see, but they tell me its a 6 bolt. its probably just a general picture.
because theirs no way no one has them, yet they can order "6bolt and "4bolts" only.
you know what..fuck it i'll tell them to order it and when it gets their ill pay if its right.
i'll see what happens.
Thanks Chaluska

Someone told me "If you say you have 300zx axles on there, the only 300zx axle you'd have on the car would be the passenger side, because the 300zx driver side axle is too long."
True?

ok the 4 bolt axle is for the z31 300zx (83-89) you have a z32 300zx (89-96) axle 5 bolt na all turbo z32 axels were six bolts. you need a z32 300zx na axle thats it
