Hi Guys

Ok i havent touched my stagea in the past few weeks, been to busy with work and family.

But im wanting to get back into getting stuff together for my track car build. Question i have for the stagea specialists is the Re5R05a transmission do they run the same driveshaft yoke as the Re5R05a 350z? main reasoning is i know that the 350z 6 speed and Re5 run the same yoke dimensions, just with the dust boot on the yoke not the gearbox.

My track car is a S13 Silvia with a RB26 running a 350z 6 speed, and i need to get a custom shaft made and finding a yoke is proving hard or expensive. if the stagea RE5R05a matches i can get a whole drive shaft for a fraction of the price and chop that to size.

Any help appreciated guys. i can post a picture of the spline count and look if you might be able to compare.

Not the Stagea one, that's for sure. Our gearbox has a transfer case on the back for the AWD, and a 4 bolt flange not the splined yoke.

That said, I do have a 350z carbon tailshaft here I was keeping to hack up for my manual conversion... You could make me an offer... ;)

You were the man i was hoping would reply, seem to be the stagea guru around here. What about the RWD vq35 re5r05a stagea's? are they a NZ only model?

Haha they seem to be going to $300 NZD here brand new. so with the conversion rates and the shipping, i dont think it'd be worth while for you.

Ah, yep shipping long articles to NZ is expensive too.

I would be looking at a wrecked V35 for the rwd RE5 box, not sure if the splines are the same. The VQ35 rwd Stagea isn't allowed to be imported here yet, and was fairly rare I believe.

Thanks for that scotty, i'll have to get my mate to pop out to the wreckers and compare his 350z yoke i think. They's a few of them floating around in NZ, seen a few of them in wreckers as well.

I struggle to see why nissan would produce a different variation of the RWD Re5 though. Searching yahoo jpn i find the odd shaft on there, but the shipping costs out weigh the cost of the product itself and cant find a picture to confirm the spline count.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
