240SilviaX is an unknown quantity at this point
So I tried to stick the 96 J30 vlsd with the open diffs 93 240sx ring gear (to maintain the 4.08 gear ratio instead of the 3.96 J30s) into the 240 S13 carrier and with the same shimming (diff bearing race) as the open diff the gears meshed perfectly, checked with that yellow paint. The left (short) shaft fit perfectly but the right (long) doesn't. It sticks out about a 1/4" to 1/2" out from the seal. I don't want to install it that way compressing the axle. So does anyone have any ideas? Or do I just have to use the J30 ring gear (3.96 ratio) which is fatter making the diff bearing shimming position to the stock point causing the axle output shafts to fit?
