Gollum Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Ok, so i've got some questions (wich my manual doesn't answer) How many different driveshafts came in the ZX cars? Did the 2+2 have a longer driveshaft? (i'm unsure of the wheelbase difference) and did the turbo models have a different drivesahft? If both of those are yes then that means they had to have 4 different length varieties. The reason I ask is that I'm buying a 2+2 turbo and i'll be droping the drivetrain into my NA ZX 2 seater. I guess I just need to know if one of the two driveshafts will work. If not there's a 280ZXT at pnp and I can pull the shaft from that. But i'll be going there wednesday so I'd need to know before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Here's the car, it's a T-5 2+2 http://classifieds.hybridz.org/showproduct.php?product=2292&cat=12 In that link you posted he says he thinks the 2+2 turbo only came with an auto but then he later talks about the clutch from the 2+2 turbo cars...??? Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Don't know if this helps but MSA sells a 79-83 ZX non-turbo, 82-83 ZX turbo, and a 74-83 2+2 driveshaft. The 2+2 you have to call them so I'd call like I was buying one and find out the facts... LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcheeze36 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 280ZXT 2+2s came in both manual and auto trannies. If you're swapping the entire setup (motor, T5 tranny, T-5 driveshaft, and 3.545 diff) over to your 2-seater NA 280ZX, then you'll most likely need to shorten the driveshaft...or if the 280ZXT in the pnp is a 2-seater and has the T-5, pull that T-5 driveshaft.

rayaapp2 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 There was one in San Jose PNP. I forgot to tell you when you came down today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 gee thanks Man, if I go down there again this week it'll have to be for more than a driveshaft at this point. Maybe we should schedule a little san jose meet or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger.svoboda Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 2+2driveshaft is longer but all else will work. I've got a regular turbo drive shaft I took out of 81 but I'm in seattle. you are welcome to it. The turbo setup should have cv shafts unless you are just changing the differential. you probably have a r180 diff so chances are driveshaft won't work from your n/a. when you change diff assuming 22 has a r200 you need to reverse the U shaped hanger bolt to get the r 200 in there. also looks to me like a early z31 driveshaft would work but never tried it.
