Shaun,

I have a DR 4 door tailshaft in the garage, can you tell me the length of your MR tailshaft so I have something to compare.

Cheers, D

i dunno, nissan seem to keep things quite common..... i had an L series( 280zx) gear box in my skyline line and when i went to the rb gear ( r32 gtst) box, the yoke was exactly the same...... lenghts may be different but you should be able to find some thin in a wreckin yard.

i had the problem i kept snapping the rear yokes on my tail shaft in my 66 skyline gt.... went down the wreckin yard armed with a tail shaft lenght and pitch for the bolt pattern and spline config for the gear box and end up comming out with a datsun stanza 1600 auto tail shaft that fitted perfectly.......

best bet is to go down to ya local yard that has lots of datsun/ nissans and ask if ya can have a crawl thru to sus out wots wot!!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
