it's easy but better if you have a hoist. pull the old one off, fit the new one makng sure the two halves of the shaft mate back together the way they came off, and that's it. be careful to orient the bearing correctly ie the front goes to the front from memory it's a white dot that denotes it. make sure also that you mark the flange alignments on the box and diff with the ones on the shaft as they have different bolt patterns at each end and can be a bugger to lign up if you don't.

Got a one piece chrome molly tailshaft made up for my GTR. Saves roughly 4kgs of weight off driveline. The two piece is only 1070mm long anyway so a one piece shouldn't cause any issues at high speed if it's balanced and only a metre long?

it isnt too hard specailly if you have the workshop maunal and a tailshaft centre bearing replacement kit(inc. center bearing and mount and a new bolt and washer), the manual explains it all. how they come appart, how things go, what to grease etc.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
