Ive just got a LSD

[JackSmol]

Ive just got a new LSD but it has the 5 bolt shafts and my s14 has the 6 bolt shafts and i was wondering who knew how to swap them out and how hard it is?

Should've payed attention to the details before ordering/buying a differential with different axle stubs.

Is you old differential an LSD? What differential did you purchase?

[JackSmol]

its in my 96 SR20DE Kouki and the facotry one is the 6bolt factory open diff and i have bought a r33 lsd which has the 5 bolt shafts and i need to swap them over

[jr_ss]

You need the 5bolt axles for that diff to work. Swapping axle stubs does nothing for you.

[JackSmol]

So wait your telling me that I cant swap them over? If so why not?

Weld the diff and call it a night.

I would LOVE to weld it, but i don't earn enough money to run a daily driver with a locky

if im correct the splines dont match up right on a 5 bolt as opposed to a 6 bolt one.

Not to mention different lengths. You cannot swap your open diff stubs into the R33 or vice versa. This is why I said you should've done your research before purchasing a part for your car.

Go to the junkyard and dig around for some J30 axles, those are your only hope now.
