Gtr Axle/spline Diamater

[Cubes]

Hi ppls,

I've recently bought a GTR diff and axles to shoe horn in to my GTST rwd cradle.

It has what looks like the GTR 6 bolt (1 x 6) axles/half shafts but upon opening the diff up its a viscous unit, so obviously not a GTR diff, but rather something else.

The axles are 31spline.

Does any one have any measurements on the axle/spline that slides in to the hub?

the stock 32 gtst/s13 5 bolt ones are 27 spline...I thought the only 6-1 bolt diff's were gtr..i thought the only other 6 bolt is the z32 r230 but they are 2-2-2...maybe gtst diff with gtr outputs??not sure..

Definitely strange as its not possible to use the GTR outputs with a VLSD as the GTR outputs are to suit a mech diff.

I have seen a 1x6 R230 diff in a picture so possibly the vlsd (n/a) r230 outputs suit the r200 vlsd diff?

I'm about to take a heap of pics. I'll throw them up.

i just had a look on hybridz coz they do heaps of this sort of stuff and the the r200 vlsd out of the q45 infinity has a 6-1 pattern same as gtr..so my money would be on that...r230 is a heaps bigger diff and would prolly have bigger splines in the outputs.not sure tho

Thanks...

Well bugger.

I'd also lay money on it being Q45 half shafts.

lol....bugger..

Here's a few pics.

Any one want a set of GTR axles?

I cannot be buggered sourcing a set of gtr half shafts so I can run a mechanical diff.

Is it not possible to get the 6bolt ends (left side of pic 4) put on the gtst axles?

On another web site I saw pics of underneath the boots. The GTR axles have more little lug/bearing bits so you can't simply bolt a set of gtst 27spline axles on to the end of the 6 bolt uni.

If it were that easy I think JMS would have gone that route to have the better axles in the gtst as it would have been a simple hub and axle end swap rather than whole subframe, q45 diff center, swap diff ratio's etc.

But really I don't know for sure until I pull the boot off and have a look.

Either way I think I'll just flog it off.
