240Z_Master Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 I also had a shaft made up - all spicer parts inlcluding yoke. I am mating to a different diff however - and using a larger rear flange requiring use of Z31 300ZX LSD differential pinion flange on my R200. That's one fine piece! Good thing is that if I ever needed t upgrade, all I would have to do is change teh rear flange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240Z_Master Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 This is for his Yellow 240Z Thanks Ed, but he might be asking about the other one too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed260Z Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Thanks Ed, but he might be asking about the other one too? If you mean fentin_fury he's got a S30 as well. But if you mean you also have a 280ZX who's cooler then you bro. I think I'll have to move to Cali just so I can be around more Z freaks like me. I can't remember the last time I saw another S30 by me. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is it from your diff flange to your transmission seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fentin_fury Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 It is 21 3/4" U-joint center to U-joint center, 29 7/8" overall length - the drive shaft that is. I don't remember the measurement you are asking for off hand - will check tonight. I am using the Infinity engine mounts and an R200.

Beck Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I got a custom one piece driveshaft for my z32 from Powertrain Industries about 5 years ago. It was high quality (I could tell because I worked at a place that made industrial shafts and joints), and has given me zero problems over this 5 year timeframe. I don't recall exactly, but I would say it's had about 80k miles put on it. Anyway, I toot my horn for these people whenever 'custom driveshaft' comes up. Oh, and I live in South Carolina and they are in California. The shipping was pretty cheap, so don't let it discourage you from using them. They seem to have their stuff together.

christiansagun Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Oh, It's for an S30. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Just a reminder, that each driveshaft is pretty specific to car maybe? Suspension geometry in the rear changes from certain years (minor albeit) but some maybe more aft than others? Also, I had my driveshaft made to my specs and my mounts with certain specifications.
