HELP! 5 Bolt Diff, axels and 5 Lug wheel bearing went boom!

Hey all

so the other day I'm cruising down the highway in my s13 and suddenly my driver side axel decides to go. It managed to take the diff bolt point with it where it bolts to the axel. So I not only need the axel it self but also the 5 bolt hub? that comes out of the diff (not sure the best word for it). It also already needed a wheel bearing for my rear 5 lug set up which may have contributed to the problem.

Unfortunately when I bought my tomie 2-way with 4.3 final setup it came in a 5 bolt diff housing with 5 bolt axels. It's only unfortunate because it seems to be a harder part to come across, at least where I'm at (real northern cali, Humboldt).

So I'm wondering if you all can help me with what my options are. It would be nice to just get another 5 bolt axel and 5 bolt diff hub for the drivers side, along with the proper wheel bearing. I don't necessarily need to keep the 4.3 final drive but would be nice. I'm also thinking but not sure if it would work to find a stock 6 bolt diff and axels and just pull everything out and swap it over for ease in the future including swapping the tomie into the 6 bolt housing.

I believe the 5 bolt diffs were found in the 87-89 300zx NA

not sure where the 4.3 final came from, maybe 180sx

also where would I find the proper wheel bearing? s14 SE?

thanks so much for all your help. At the shop now so need parts asap!
