Pharaohabq Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm getting a Nissan 6SP tranny, CD010. (VQ35HR) I am looking to find out what drivesshaft yokes may fit it since stock 350Z carbon fiber shafts are way expensive. So, Questions are: What cars have that tranny, 350Z, G37, and... ? What yokes are similar enough to fit that I could have a driveshaft made from? Thanks, Phar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatcarguy350 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I believe the Nissan Frontier with the 4.0L V-6 is an HR block. So, you may be able to source a driveshaft or some yokes off of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted February 5, 2009 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2009 The stock S30 yoke fits my '98 SR20DET tranny. Wouldn't surprise me if Nissan 'stayed true' with the 350z as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Oh? Nice, SR20DET, Which tranny is that? 5 speed? Is it simlar to the Z32 tranny? Frontier, 4.0L do you know which tranny that is? I wonder if it'll fit the CD010(cd0009) trannys from 350Z? Does anyone know the Output shaft specs? Splines? Yoke diameter, outside/inside? length? I'd be suprised if the 280Z yoke fit straight up. the 350z is almost 2x the HP of the L28. Phar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatcarguy350 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I believe the 6-speed trans for the 4.0 is FS6R31A, but I don't know what the driveshaft for it looks like. Oh, and if the 4.0 tranny mates up to the HR, you would probably have another option as far as gear ratios go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I recieved my Tranny yesterday. it looks like a 32 tooth output shaft, I can't find my calipers for output diameter measurement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splitime Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Any luck finding a confirmed working driveshaft donor? I'll be going into this realm soon and not finding to much information out there. The CF driveshaft also seems like a poor and expensive donor to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) Well, I'll post a pict of it later, but I got a hacked off CF yoke for my tranny. The yoke itself is pretty stout, and I'll have the tube replaced with a standard or possibly aluminum tube once I get the tranny mounted and can take measurements. I assume the yokes are the same for all 350z/370z/G35/G37 since my yoke is off an 03 350Z, and my tranny is from an 08 G35. I didn't get to test any pathfinder or frontier yokes as none are readily availiable in my area. I might take it with me on my next U pull it jaunt and see if I can match it up to anything. I'm betting it'll be similar on any RWD recent year nissan. (oh I paid $15 for my yoke, just gotta keep an eye out, n ask people parting wreaked cars.) I'll let you guys know if I find anything different or matching from alt years other makes.

The 2 I've talked with mention unserviceable and need new pieces. I contacted one place the specializes in aftermarket yokes and they didn't have a 350z solution yet.

Pharaohabq Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 yeah, the shop I've got here, "U-joints" said it should be no problem, just to bring them the pieces and a length mesurment and they'd make me a new driveshaft. The 350z yoke I have has the CF remains on it, but they'll cut that off and put on a metal tube, then size it to my Diff flange. I'm not sure what would be unserviceable about a takeoff yoke. One place I know from my 4x4'ing days, that could make you a driveshaft if you can't find anywhere locally, is Tom Wood's Drive shafts, they'll make anything, and are happy to ship anywhere. Same deal though, you'll need to send them the parts and a length mesurment, tho they might be able to provide a yoke. Phar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splitime Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 So how did the driveshaft construction go? I'm still having issues finding a drive shaft for a reasonable price sadly. Let alone getting to the point of taking measurements to have one made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yeah, I have a 350z yoke off a 08 350, but I haven't got things mounted yet to get a measurment so I haven't had a shaft made... but it's still on the list...
