Hi Guys,

I'd like to know if there is any difference between the 31 spline half shafts out of an R200 R33 GTR non V-spec diff and the 31 spline half shafts out of an R230 300ZX TT diff.

Are they the same length?

Are they the same width?

Are they interchangeable?

Reason I ask is I have an R200 R32 GTR 30 spline diff that in putting a Quaife LSD into and it needs 31 spline half shafts.

I dont like the idea of paying $1000 for a pair of half shafts for a GTR diff if i can get the same shafts out of 300ZX for $250.

If the R230 from the Z32 is viscous, then I would suggest that they would be different to the GTR stubs. The GTR is a mech centre and the splines will be equal length. R200 VLSDs have unequal length splines on the stubs, and whilst I don't know for sure that an R230 VLSD would also have unequal length, I would suggest it would be likely.

If the Z32 R230 is mechanical, then it really should all be swappable with the GTR one. Having said that.....the R33 GTR will have ABS stubs won't it? And the Z32 didn't have it?

No can't use, different lengths, I looked into it before I did my Quaife. You need the ones with 46 tooth speed sensor gears also, the Atessa uses this for the wheel speed too.

You should have bought a pair my shafts while I had three 31 tooth R33 sets remember ? Forget the cost, they are becoming stupid hard to source now, took me six months hence why I obtained 3 new sets when I could.

Well that answers my question :) Thank you for that.

Yeah i know i should have bought a pair of yours, but $850 is still stupid money for a pair of shafts even though it is cheaper.

But i gotta wear it now and fork out some coin.

if you can find them, the RH side 38220-24U05 is discontinued remember ? LH side 38220-24U06 is still available, but right and left are different lengths.

Try Japanese Motorsport in Adelaide, I sold my last set to them.

    • 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.
