desert dog Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I am going to be using an R230 out of a '90 300ZXTT for my project and I have been looking around for alternative half-shafts: '05-'06 GTO '89-'93Ford T-bird SC OEM ZXTT shafts ($$$$$) Custom shaft length will not be an issue as I have a good friend with a full blown machine shop. Which of these do you think would be more compatible? I noticed that the GTO units have 6 bolt flanges... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert dog Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 I can't touch an OEM ZXTT shaft for less that $300, unless I buy a whole unit, and pay as much shipping as the unit costs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Toyota Supra? Looks like close to the right length: http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:XSDhYv4brxYJ:65.100.60.50:8884/Files/Datsun/CV-Driveline-Stuff/Toyota%2520to%2520Datsun%2520CV%2520Conversion.htm+82-85+supra+half+shaft&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert dog Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Sorry, the link does not work. I would wonder as well if half-shafts from a Supra II (161 to 170 HP L6) would stand up to my LS2. I know how beefy the Z32TT shafts are, and I am learning a lot about the Holden setup in the GTO... Thanks for the reply. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The link is working for me. I'd be looking at Supra shafts too, the later stuff is particularly strong. The visual size should give a good indication of strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
