Reverted back to 2 piece driveshaft today, and noticed the yoke doesn't go all the way into the gearbox.

The 1 piece would go all the way in, now I know there is meant to be slack but I can't remember how much.

Can somebody take a pic of theirs with that circular cover off, show me roughly how much of the yoke is meant to be exposed with the centre bearing and diff ends of the tailshaft mounted ?

I've got like ...1in.++.

A31 rear tailshaft.

R32 front half inc centre bearing)

yea there is a lil bit of slack on my r32 front/auto ceffy rear tail shaft, works fine.

also mine drops some oil on the right angle when shaft is removed so seems to be normal, then again i have put more then 2l of in the box.

Oil meant to leak when the yoke isn't in the box :P

One of those things I actually didn't know first time I took tailshaft out - had a spaz thinking I had a f**ked box or something

2L is about right isn't it. I thought it was roughly 2.2 but never measure it, just fill it up to the plug.

Had a better look last night, it's more like 20mm of the yoke exposed, but that might decrease again when I actually mount the tailshaft to the diff.

Cheers fella's.

i made my own driveshaft, after i measured it wrong i realized the yoke shaft isn't in the gearbox like it should...>_<

the yoke is just half in the gearbox, when i did the auto to manual i was to lazy to customize it again and just tried,...never had a problem lol :worship:

surprisingly it works fine, drifted around a half year and still good:D

only problem is when i drive for example 80 km/h and clutch in to let the car roll the driveshaft vibrates like hell and shakes the car, on acceleration and deceleration normal^^

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
