Hi guys. I have recently purchased an R32 that was factory manual ca18.

Its been converted to rb20det, and 5 stud conversion. I believe the 5 stud is from a GTS-4. My issue is as I was backing it into the garage, I lost drive. upon looking into it I found the axle/CV was spinning inside the hub. I stipped the hub off and found the cv has 29 splines and the hub is 32.

Im unsure what the best option here is, whether I can get 32 spline cvs and fit them to my axles? whether I can get other axles that will suit or whether I need different hubs? the current axles are 5x1 which from what I have read are the stronger of the 2?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

That's f**king dodgy and I can't see how it ever had drive.  Should not have reliably engaged the splines at all.

What you have is a mess and I cannot tell you what the most cost effective option will be.  The strongest option obviously retains the 5 bolt driveshaft with the proper CV joints.  The 3x2 driveshafts won't suit your diff anyway, so cause more troubles than just having the weaker tripod joints.

You would be well advised to take both to a driveshaft/CV workshop and hold them out in front of you and say "please help", in your best Leeloo impersonation.  Either that or to a Nissan/Jap import wrecker.

Yeah so I bought this off a mate, he purchased the 5stud as a complete assembly. the way it had drive is just due to the cv nut being tightened, clamping the cv to the hub.

I may just pop the CV off, but Im hoping someone will know if the other CVs, inner spline could and diameter is the same so I can virtually just swap them over.

I've gone through something similar but at the diff end. Because I am not in a position to grab hold of a bunch of CV axles to try to mix and match I've decided to change the LSD to 29 spline to match the CV axle.  Those were my two choices which actually ended up as one choice.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
