I'm in Sacramento, I used Driveline Service of West Sacramento. They have rebuilt several Z drive shafts and half shafts for me. They have also shortened and lengthened the drive shafts on my Jeep. They use good quality parts and do a good job on balancing.

tamo3,

 

South Bay Driveline: http://www.yelp.com/biz/south-bay-driveline-san-jose?osq=balance+driveshaft

 

I did the same conversion as you, and I believe my shorten and rebalance was about $125. Out of my stupidity, it turned out that I measured my driveshaft wrong and had to bring it back  for more shortening. They did a half-off shorten and rebalance for me for only $50. Great guys.

Thanks for the info, Crusher. 

How much did you pay for the service?

 

Badler,

Wow, that's nice to build brand new one! However, I'm not serious for racing or so, I rather just shorten my extra 280z driveshaft.

 

 

Thanks Spitz17

That's great to know the shop hsa good reputation!

I also found article about South Bay Driveline.

I got quote from them , it's $150 for shorten driveshaft.

 

 

 

Did you replace U-joint also?

 

Reading Blue's article:

I couldn't find Spicer 5-1501x.

Thus, I order Moog / Precision 391 instead.

Sorry for the late reply tamo - I did replace the u-joint at the same time. I can't remember if $150 included the new u-joint or not. Did you speak with them yet?
