So i have converted a r33 gtr gearbox to rwd in my r32gtst and i need to know what configuration works best with tailshaft and whether i go 1 or 2 piece ?

or can i use the standard rear half of r32 gtst tailshaft and use the front half of gtr tailshaft as 1 ?

Can the tailshaft be solid eg as it is going to be a flange on both sides as oppose to yoke on 1 side that allow movement

Whatever you do is going to be a custom bitsa. The GTSt has a universal joint flange on the pinion of the diff, the GTR has a CV type flange. So if you go two piece, you'll need to use the back half of the GTSt tailshaft. I don't know for sure whether the centre bearing is in exactly the same place on both GTSt and GTR. Assuming it is, then it may be possible to just connect the front half of a GTR tailshaft to the back half of the GTSt one. If there's any differences, then you'll need to get a custom front half made up with whatever length and joints are needed.

If you go one piece, then it will be GTR connection at the front and GTSt at the rear. But there's no room for length errors in this case.

It's more than likely that you'll have the easiest result by staying 2 piece.

Indeed , Do you know if the gtst4 have the drive train layout as the gtst ? as if they do then i should be able to use the gtr or gtst4 complete tailshaft and diff and drive shaft.

i need to buy a 2 way diff any way so if they are they same then ill just run a gtr 2way/ drive shafts and tail shaft

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
