I'd like to thank Chome for letting me know about a J30 @ LKQ with 5-bolt axles to be pulled. I was able to grab them on Friday and did the install of my 180sx dif yesterday evening. Here is what i had...



Open dif...(still cant believe that the original exhaust still hangs under my car, lol)...one of the six bolts missing from the passenger side as i had started removing it.



Here is whats going in its place...the five bolt axles and a 180sx diff. Thank goodness too because the new wheels i just got are taller than stock. And the original open dif is now quite sluggish, given the change.

I never posted a finish picture of my aluminum upright swap, but here is one:



All i can say is wow after the swap...the car feels more solid and planted under acceleration. funny the little bit of a push that you feel thru the turns. I cant wait to push it a little so i can truly appreciate what the VLSD brings to the car.

Thanks for looking.
