My right side rear Hal-Shaft / CV / Axle is buggered up and needs replacement. 

 

However, OEM parts are now discontinued and I'm unaware of any aftermarket / remain units. Worse yet, I'm located in the States. 

I can't find specs either on OEM length. One member on this forum quoted 654mm and 622mm - didn't know which side and I'm not sure if they measured compressed (Post from 10 years ago). 

Here's what I've cross referenced with the Nissan 32-spline + 6x1 flange. 

         
spline compressed mm side model
32 26 660 right 300zx tt
32 23.86 606 left 300zx tt
         
32 24.33 618 left 370z
32 26.3 668 right 370z
         
32 25.04 636 left q45
32 27.09 688 right q45

I just measured 2 pairs I have, which are both meant to be 32 GTR (one rebuilt with new boots, one original)

Left is 615mm/605mm

Right is 650mm/640mm

In each case the rebuilt one is 10mm shorter than the original, and they vary from the other numbers you pulled up from the old post, which I guess just goes to show there is a lot of movement in a CV

None of the ones he listed are R32, so there's room for them to be different lengths anyway.

And, I was under the impression that GTS4 used GTSt 5 bolt shafts. Am I wrong?

And, in the US, surely you would just spend the couple of grand required to get the billet ones and forget about all this old Datsun bullshit. They use really strong Porsche CVs and I would just do it if I was building something that needed more strength than you can get out of a 2nd hand 30 year old Silvia shaft.

I listed a R32 GTR - "One member on this forum quoted 654mm and 622mm"

 

GTS-4 uses the same CV's as a GTR. 

Not looking for 30 year old used. Numbers I listed above are all readily available new aftermarket and new OEM. 

A set of DSS axles is $2,800 + shipping + Tax. That's $4,200 AUD - I'm not making 1,000hp and that's stupid amount of money to fix one CV that was only $600 new OEM a year or two ago.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
