john kosmatka Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 When swapping in a 280zx turbo driveline with a BWT-5 does the driveshaft need to be shortened. If so how did you guys go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgkurz Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 You need to measure from the pinion flange on the diff to the center of the front ujoint. By center I don't mean the middle of the cross, but the center of the end caps. Make sure you pull the yoke out of the trans 3/4" before measuring. Rumor has it that about an 1" needs to be cut of the T-5 driveline to fit in an S30 car. You should measure to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I shortened my ZXT driveshaft 1" to use a T5 in my '77. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
