Nismo280zEd Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Mods/Admins feel free to move. I'm in the process of swapping in s14 rear subframe into my 280z 2+2. The S14 uses a shortnose R200 where the Z uses a long nose. There is a difference of about 8" probably or a little more, I already have a 2+2 so I can't use a longer driveshaft and I have to get a custom one made with the OEM yolk, etc. I called my guy today that I always use, he said I'd have to bring it in first before he can even give me a ballpark price quote. I'm curious if anybody has had a drive shaft made before? I go to school full time and money doesn't fall from the skies. I'm hoping this is only gonna cost me around 200 bucks. Nothing fancy, just a longer OEM type steel tube shaft, OEM yolks, etc. Just a longer shaft. Any ideas of cost would be greatly appreciated so I know if I need to save some more or not. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
