Lurch2461 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hi All, Do you have these half shafts in the US? I'm trying to source them from Japan, but they are very thin on the ground over there and extremely hard to get.

HB280ZT Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 They look like standard Z31 turbo shafts! HB280ZT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurch2461 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have a pair I got with a 4.4 clsd out of a (r31 I think). Do you want to sell them and if yes, how much p[lus freight to Sydney Australia. I need more than just one pair though, hence the question about availability.

djz Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Are you sure the shafts are the same? I had HR31 turbo shafts in my car and they mounted to the companion flanges with 3 sets of 2 bolts and from memory have 3 ball bearings in the CVs? The Z31 turbo shafts I'm using now are the same as your pictures with 4 individual bolts and 5 bearing CVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but this is the only pair I have, and I'd rather hold on to them, plus the shipping hassle makes things worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z31 turbo shafts I'm using now are the same as your pictures with 4 individual bolts and 5 bearing CVs.it depends on the model of R31 but yes there are some R31's with the 4 bolt CV shafts as shown above I know that the DR30 has the same shafts as the Z31 FYI the same Z31 shafts are also on some JDM models of the following cars Y31 = Nissan Cedric (VG20DT, VG30D) F31 = Nissan Leopard (VG30D-ULTIMA) Now I did find another cross reference partnumber and it is used in the following models (again the 4 bolt version) on the RH side C32 = Nissan Laurel (RB20DET with R200 4.11 fitted) R31 = Nissan Skyline (RB20DT) F31 = Nissan Leopard (VG20T.XS) S12 = Nissan Silvia (CA18DET) Z31 = Nissan 300ZX/Fairlady ZR1, ZR2, 300ZR and the same partnumber used on a LH side of these models Y31 = Nissan Cedric (VG30E.Y, VG30E.MT, S.VG30T, VG30T.BROV) I am sure with more time alternative part numbers could be found with some research etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the factory DR's I have and have seen have the conventional 3 x 2 (6) bolt outer flanged half shafts. I didn't ask the question to be told what we already knew from Japan, what they came out of doesn't increase the availability out of Japan. I have seen 3 pairs of them on yahoo in recent times and have purchased 2 of them, the other was by far, more than I was prepared to pay as with freight the item was over AU$1200.00 for the pair and I could make them in Oz for that.

Regards, Dennis in Oz Cool if all DR30 come with 6 bolts I am only going by the Nissan FAST catalogues and the partnumbers that match the 4 bolt units found on other Nissans ie Z31. FYI going by the FAST the DR30's with the FJ20 (ie pre 83 and non turbo) had the 6 bolt type and the later FJ20T powered cars have the 4 bolt type. See attached screen shots for reference - again I am only going by the info I have at hand and trying to give you more cars to look at that might have the same axles you are looking for - again from info in the FAST (assuming you have those models in Oz ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I made an error above the S12 only have the 6 bolt type even the FJ20 powered cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapiper Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I am having a fierce drivetrain vibration after CV joint upgrade on my '77 Z at 90 mph. Suspect is bad CV joint. Anyone have experience with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
