Tailshafts in Brisbane

[Skyrine-Dave]

Who makes them?

I have been to Hardy Spicer and Driveline Services and they both dont have the correct flange to make my tailshaft.

Are there any other places out there who do driveline work ?

Where is your origional tailshaft ? usually they use those flanges to make up a new shaft

I would give Brisbane Driveline and Brake Services (BDBS) a try...

[Skyrine-Dave]

i will give those people a call del sol... thanks

hey ED it dose depend on what u need done it cost about $200 bux to just have a tail shaft shortened but thats also changing the yoke too from HQ across to Hilux

[Skyrine-Dave]

Well i ended up taking mine to Driveline services at Archerfield. They were $100+ cheaper than their Brendale branch!

The guy didnt even have to measure up, he just looked at my R34 yoke and goes "oh yeah 30 spline, same as a 300zx, replaceable with hilux ( i think) and the diff flange, oh yeah thats the same as a nissan navara, no probs, in 3" single piece capable of 9100rpm in top gear... thats about $420"

prices i was given:

Driveline Services (Archerfield)

3" single piece - $350 - $450

3" 2 piece - $450 - $550

Driveline Services ( Brendale)

3" single piece - $450 - $550

3" 2 piece - $550 - $650

pretty expensive, but i need a completely new tailshaft cuz none of the old bits can be usedf as they are pressed units, an di wanted them to be replaceable for if/when they snap

[CYA_34]

Those prices are about right my 34 Tailshaft had the front yoke's and splines an and rear yoke replaced ( that means makeing new shafts) because of the the "pressed and sealed for life in Uni's" replaced the uni's.

Then balancing total of $490

Not too bad and no more pressed crap.:sly:

[Ed G]

sweet... well i have the rear part, and the yoke from the 'box, so just need the front half made up and all balanced.... that is less than i expected!

[Skyrine-Dave]

thats the parts i had... i think you will find they might say 'we cant use any of this stuff'

due to the pressed and sealed uni's.

good luck, i should get mine tomorrow
