180sx VLSD 5 Bolt Axle Help
 

Hey guys, need help figuring out what axle to run on my car

I've read that the J30 driver side axle is a beefier option that will work perfectly on my left side and the measurements I'm seeing confirm that. It's the right side that I'm seeing as an issue. The J30 axle is a half inch longer and I've read that it will cause binding issues or something like that. I saw someone mention that I could use a 300zx left side axle on my right but that axle is a half inch shorter and since I'm lowered idk if the axle will have issues with popping out or anything.

Anyone got some insight into a bolt up option for my car? Really appreciate any help I can get

Do you just need 5 bolt axles? I have a set I pulled out of my Silvia.

Sent you a PM

I have the z32 N/A driver side axle on my passenger side on my 240, the same thickness as the jdm axle and the right length

I'm running J30 axles with no issues.

There isn't a risk of the inside joint popping out in the same way as there is with stock 240sx Tripod joints; J30, JDM S13, z32, etc etc (anything NOT 2x3 pattern) use rzeppa joints at both ends; which is also the main reason why they're stronger.

This thread popped up yesterday right around the same time as your post. Check it out!

You have an s13 with a 180sx VLSD?

n/a z32. Same r200 case, so yes.

VLSD also came in the HICAS models from factory
