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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
