this is all from memory so may not be 100% but......
Bolts with the 12mm Shank should be the ones you are after, these should be available in any short nose R200 probally an open diff. Or Some versions of an R200 Long nose
Some R200's short nose diffs had bolts with a 13mm shank, I think these were mainly the VLSD r200's from Z32 non turbos.
Can you throw us an Inner Diameter measurement of what size you need ?
Also I'm just curious, whats happening with the diff ?

what im trying to achieve is sticking gtr r32 lsd in long nose r200
r200 bolts sloppy in gtr carrier
ive seen people say put a spacer around bolt but the smallest from seaco are to thick walled

Ah, I got some bronze bushes from AW Fraser (

I have made quite a few sets of spacer sleeves. In both 12, and 13mm O.D.

It all depends on what combination you have. I'm 99% certain the 13mm bolt has some sort of different thread that will not fit into the crown wheel that takes the usual 12mm bolt.
I have setup a few R200's with bolts that were size for size and also with spacer tubes. I have never had any troubles or problems with one.
The only way I know of to make it all work perfectly without spacer tubes is to use a DR30 LOM-59 LSD carrier and fit the GTR clutch pack and spider gears into it, this would give you 12mm holes on the lsd pack and 12mm holes in the crown wheel.
but some long nose R200's had the smaller 10mm crown wheel bolts too. It can end up being an Arse Ache to get the correct combination. Just use spacers and carry on.
