i have  a rb25 turbo eng  and turbo gearbox already sitting in a R31.

got a manual r31 tailshaft and a commodore vl turbo front yoke.

after  what everyone says ,  it looks like  the  commodore vl turbo front yoke WILL NOT go onto a R31 manual tailshaft. the vl turbo uni cap is just over 25mm and the r31 uni cap is just under 25mm, theres a differance of nearly 1mm...

any way i can fix this ? to get  vl yoke on r31 manual tailshaft ?

The usual thing to do (RB25 box into R32, for example) is to take the front part of the tailshaft that suits the box and the front part of the tailshaft in the car to Hardy Spicer (along with a careful measurement of the required length) and get them cut and shut together.

ok,  the yoke that was supplied  to me isnt a vl turbo one , the caps are nearly the same , and also just noticed  the measurement  inside the  " U "    u part on back of the slip yoke is about 2 cm too narrow.  it slides in back of gearbox but it wont  hold a ruj2030  universal joint.

If you are in Brisbane, the nice man from Hardy Spicer will come out and measure the car to ensure its the correct measurement. Although I suspect this service is to counteract ,a previous number of arguments, with retards(customers) who can't use a tape measure. The advantage with Hardy Spicer is the new joints are replaceable and larger.

its not to do with the length , its to do with the fitting of the  yoke,..  this has been soreted as i was supplied incorrect yoke.

 

No worries, glad its sorted, for future reference most brands of u-joints use the same centre cross in a range of cap sizes, so you can buy 2 u-joints same cross size with caps to suit the two different yoke sizes. Had too do this once with a HR holden, a Supra box and Torana tailshaft.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
