Hi all.

I snapped a right drive shaft in my R32 GTSt.

What I would like to know is what's the best way to fix it.

Do people buy new ones from nissan or just keep throwing 2nd hand ones at them?

Is it better to get GTR ones or R33 GTSt ones? What models are interchangeable?

thanks.

Russ

i have a spare r/h side driveshaft for sale suit r32gtst

r32 gtr driveshafts are 1 spline larger than gtst & are 6x1 bolt flange while gtst is 5x1 flange hubs on gtr are also larger

r32gtr rear subframe is a complete bolt in you just need to use gtst diff flange everything else inc shocks use gtr

you can use your gtst suspension with gtr subframe if you swap the hubs into the gtst uprights

if someone knows if 33 ones fit i havent had expierience with 33 rear subframes

Thanks Jas.

I've already got onto some replacement ones here. QLD is probably not worth the freight coz of the weight.

GTR subframe or later model may be worth it in the future but not yet. I'll just keep throwing used ones at it. They're cheap enough.

What were you doing to break it?

Accelerating out of a corner. Small amount of wheels spin and when it gripped it broke.

I have given the drivetrain a hard time at multiple track days and drift days and I was suprised it broke on the street with street tyres... :)

Nope. As in, I don't know of any. I'd be reasonably confident that you could talk to any diff/rear end specialist that does hi-po stuff and they could probably source/make new axles that would be made from stronger materials or perhaps have some pixie dust waved over them. I don't know if there's anything other than the Nissan CVs available.

Of course....the driveshaftshop.com replacements (at approx. 1 million Pacific Pesos!!!) use not flanged inner CVs and an adapter ring onto the 5 or 6 bolt diff axle flanges. This would obviously be an option to anyone getting something customed up. If there were much stronger CVs that you wanted to use that didn't mate up - just adapt them. Easiest done with new custom shafts too, so the total length can be set right.

Just got a heads up from someone local (perth) that has done a set of gtr ones and many for off roaders etc

Seems more delve into it these days that used to I remember the times when you couldnt find anything

 

Thanks!

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
