ttarget Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I have swapped an RB25det engine, transmission and a R200 diff in to my 1970mod 240Z. But I have a problem to connect my driveshaft to the R200. My skyline driveshaft didn’t have the same bolt pattern that the R200 have. What kind of driveshaft do I need?

dwarlick Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 You need to take a stock drive shaft from a 280z (R200 Bolt configuration) and have it mated to the Skyline drive shaft. They must be welded together and balanced by a reputable drive shaft shop. You probably have one local to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthtk Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 If the length of the Z or Skyline driveshaft is correct to fit up to the diff (my R34 skyline driveshaft was the correct length) all you need to do is have the rear flange swapped out for the flange that fits an R200, a drive shaft shop can do this for you, If needed they can also lengthen or shorten the drive shaft or just build a whole new one if yours are in bad shape. There is no bolt in driveshaft from another car that will just work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
