No offence taken. We are all trying to get to the truth here. You have enlightened me on the length issue. I assumed it would be considered a long nose because it is longer than the S13 & S14 diff but apparently there are even longer ones.
I do disagree with your conclussions on the Q45 and Z33 being the same. The gears are the same but it is my opinion that the cases are different. I recently read an article (don't remember if it was here or on Nico) on installing a Z33 diff into an S14. It took considerable modification and welding to the subframe because the front mounting ears are in a different position whereas the Q45 housing is a bolt in with zero mods except to the driveshaft because of the length and larger input flange. If you take a minute to search for the Z33 to S14 install how to it will be clearer. If I can find it again, I will add a link to it. Thanks for your input.
