Swapped a Z32NA VLSD into our R200 and the driver side half shaft protrudes by 5/16 of an inch. A little creativity is required here.

The case is not narrower the diff cover fits the same, It's the Z31 ring gear which is 5/16 of an inch thicker than the the Z32 one, that shifts the internals over by 5/16 of an inch. The axles cannot hit each other because there is a piece in there that seperates the axles.
Got my halfshaft back from the machinist today. As you can see the problem is solved.

not trying to be a jerk, but did you actually think about what a snap ring does before making that post?

The definition of torque is; when you wake up in the morning with "morning wood" and are trying to pee. When you push down on your woody, it makes you stand up on your tip toes. That my friend is torque.
