Hello!

I am finally about to get started on this manual swap for my R34 gt, The only thing I am left with is getting a driveshaft. I haven't been able to find any oem R34 gtt 2 piece driveshafts so I have concluded to getting a custom 1 piece drive shaft. I need the length as I am in no position to drop the auto trans and get measurements.

 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated thanks.

Try Alpha Omega, and use one of their 1piece aluminium shafts.

I heard mixed opinions on using a 1 piece. Do you have any experience with a 1 piece aluminum?

It is worth noting that the length of a 1 piece in a R34 is above what is considered terminal RPM at ~200ish kmh.

Fine for the street. I got a custom 2 piece made. If you get one made of exotic materials you may be okay, but if you do that level of thinking get a 2 piece.

Mine was $700. Remember that if you are doing a manual conversion you can just use stock manual tailshafts (or the one half that is different).

All of the bearings and bushings can be replaced nowadays. Ignore the whole "you cant rebuild a 2 piece because some bits are not available" because they now are with a search.

    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
