R32 Gtr Rear Prop (drive) Shaft Bolts

[Keeper]

Hi guys, the bolts I took off where the prop shaft and gearbox meet were is pretty bad shape, Nissan no longer manufacture or have a direct replacement, my nut and bolt store recommends using a longer bolt and cutting to shorten, my engineer at work lathed a R33 one to take the lip off but im not really keen on any of these results, what have you guys been using?

don't worry about it, even on the race car we just use a straight bolt. THe flange at the front is a pretty tight fit and it won't move around, the bolts are there to tighten it not to locate it.

I looked into thing and apparently the bolts in rwd Hilux's are almost identical, so it may be worth checking out the local wreckers and see if you can get some.

sorry I was thinking front not rear.

for rear.....try an r31 at pick and payless

Pick and payless?

I feel noob but I don't know what you mean.

Straight botls still okay for the rear Duncan?

Thx for the idea Zebra but I want to put new ones in...
