nosebleedZ Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Since there is 2.5 inches of in & out play on the stock zx driveshaft, can it be used without shortening with 240sx tranny (71C)? The sx tranny is 1.8" longer than the zx tranny (71B). And yes, I've searched, all I can find is S30 info on the subject. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 My best advice is to put it in and find out. if you have to have it shortend most driveline shops can do it in a days time and will be 50-70 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosebleedZ Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Anyone on here done this swap in a zx? Instead of modding the zx shaft, I can buy the early 240z shaft w/ replaceable joints for $50. It is 2" shorter. I'd rather go this route & purchase this shaft prior to the test fit if anyone has done it before. The best part is with this shaft I can use the solid u-joints. Anyone?

hoov100 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I'm pretty sure the 240sx uses a different yoke. Getting a driveshaft made isnt very expensive if you have the yokes and u-joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 The 240sx tranny uses the same splined yoke as all the manual tranny's that came behind the L6's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosebleedZ Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 It's not a big deal for me to have a d-shaft made, I just wondered if there is a proven bolt in solution on the zx. If there was, could use on other builds & it would save me some time since I have a friend that owns a large junkyard full of various Nissan products. Also, Jeffer949 is correct, S13 & S14 trannies have the same input & output splines & yokes as 70-83 Z trannies, just a later, much stronger, longer iteration. I cant believe noone has done this swap in an S130 though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobluestreak Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 No it needs to be shortened and trim the dust shield off the yoke. I don't remember how much I had taken off though I think I did the same about the first gens take off. tbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
