Default S13 diff and shafts?

I have sourced an 1989 S13 Diff from a 1.8 CA18DET and the drive shafts. There seems to be alot of people saying so many different things about what to fit and what will or won't work. Has anyone actually done this conversion and can confirm what you need to do? I am going to have a go starting in a fortnight and will submit the progress. I have a 1989 G reg S12 1.8 turbo. The diff and shafts are from a 1989 200sx CA18DET, I hope there isn't too much trauma but I'll give it a go. Any genuine input would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I did it a few years ago and worked out the parts that you need.

The only bit of the S13 shafts you can use is the driver side inner shaft (just the bit that goes in the diff) and the CV joint that bolts to this. You'll need the other side shaft but to look at because you need to grind a passenger side shaft end to be identical to this and then fit a snap ring. Then you need another passenger shaft to put on the drivers side with the S13 CV joint and inner shaft.

Do a search though this has been covered before and there's even diagrams on what to do
