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.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
