Editing Z31/vlsdInstall php (section)

=== Method 5 ===

The fifth way is to combine the Z31 Turbo half shafts (BDO type) and the '92–early '94 J30 half shafts (BDO type). Once again, the diff side CV is removed from the J30 half shaft, and installed onto the diff side of the Z31 half shaft.

This is the method I chose for my hybrid half shaft assembly. My VLSD was pulled from a '93 J30, but I have an '87 NA2T, meaning I needed Z31 Turbo half shafts and 4-bolt axle stub companion flanges. Note: it would have been easier to use the late '94–96 J30 half shafts and follow method 1, but I made do with what I could get.
