Hi I'm looking for a place that can work on the transfer case to front diff driveshaft that is found on GTRs, GTS4s and stageas. The universal joints in them are permanent from the factory, meaning that it would require machine work to remove the old ones and hopefully fit some generic ones. I'm hoping for a place that has experience doing that and at a reasonable price.

The most economical solution is to replace with a good used one, they rarely fail. We have plenty of shafts out at Trojan Motorsport.

You would have nothing but trouble and expense trying to replace with aftermarket joints, mainly due to size and balancing issues.

I understand Award Diffs is temporarily closed due to a personal issue in the family.

The lads at Import parts will most likely go around to Trojans.

Sorry to sound like a fanboy but thems the facts.

Thanks guys. I purchased one on ebay before reading the replies here. Rust has very much set in at the transfer case side uni joint, so unfortunately catastrophic mechanical failure is always an option.

Seems like water made its way into the joint, causing it to grind and open more of a cavity and allowing more contaminants to enter. Ill stick some boat grease on the next one.

OK so. Back on the hunt for a driveshaft. I purchased an R33 GTR driveshaft with no play, however it doesn't work on an auto stagea. Well, almost works. The part technically fits in, but an R33 GTR shaft has a larger diameter at the transfer case side, and tapers down at the diff side -  compared to the stagea one which has a constant diameter.

One of the balancing tabs on the shaft is fouling against the parking lock cable. Meaning that the shaft technically cleared the transmission, but the extra ~1.5mm causes it to foul. :4_joy::4_joy: Oh the joys. The cable (which is encased in a metal tube, which is what is fouling) is hard up against the transmission, so I don't think I can bend it out of the way.

Stav, do you work at Trojan? I tried to call a couple of times - no answer today.

    • Jax Tyres Smithfeild Ive gone there a few time, well for tyres. on my 3rd visit I spoke to the dude and told how i just got slugged for rotors, brakes ect. His reply was golden; have you read whats on the front of the building. Never forgot it.       before picture, good friend got all these goodies installed.  Well time to study, servicing, maintenance all before this weekend driving lesson.  
    • Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.
    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
