you can easily search this. ABS driveshafts are shorter… youll want to use a non-ABS driveshaft to have the proper length conveniently, I have a non-ABS driveshaft for sale! $50 OBO =) ---

your abs wont work but as long as its a diff from the same chassis the axles will bolt up for sure,the driveshaft will be abit shorter but it should work.just grab the shaft from^^^ if you want your abs to work you will have to use a abs vlsd ---

There are 2 diffeent axle bolt patterns, but the 5 bolt ones were only sold in Japan (along with the 6 bolt ones). But yeah, find the right drive shaft for sure. And S13 will be different from S14 aswell. ---

Actually Peter, Mike is right. The ABS pumpkin has the sensor in it which makes it longer, and thus, requiring a shorter shaft. ---

the ABS diff is a few inches longer than the Non ABS diff so the abs driveshaft is shorter in length vs non abs what u need to get is a ABS driveshaft and ABS VLSD i have an ABS driveshaft for sale
