Help With Front Propeller Shaft Rebuild

[OJR32]

Hi, just after some direction in deciding what the best options are for replacing the front propeller shaft uni's on an R32 GTR. Has anyone replaced them? They look to be press fit items that can't be replaced? Do I get a new one from Nissan or is better to have the uni's cut, replaced and balance with new ones from a driveshaft specialist?

I have looked in to this, a new shaft is f**king epic expensive from nissan. Someone on here from the UK said they had the old ones milled out, then got ones to suit and machines rings in there for circlips and all was good. When i spoke to a place here they said they machine them out then just put a new uni in and weld washers over to hold the unis in, no where near as good as machines grooves for circlips.

If you take it to Hardy Spicer they can mill it out and fit a bigger better uni for you.

I haven't done the front shaft but the rear one is the same design - they need to replace the standard joint entirely. when I was doing it I have a serviceable uni put in instead.
