Hey guys,

I’ve searched and searched, but nothing has come up to help with what drive shafts to use with my rb26 conversion.

Currently they are just the n/a items, which I doubt would last an hour when the car gets back on the road.

The car is an R32 gts, and I’ll be using some form of a 2-way diff when I can find one.

Any help would be great.

Josh, without the items in front of me I couldn't be absolutely certain, but some are 6 bolt flanges and some are 5 bolt for the diff. If you want the GTR shafts you may also need the flanges. Go cruise a wreckers and fish for some info as well. Look at the shafts side by side. Use a tape measure too. I did read of a guy who changed the lot in his 32 to GTR items...diff, axles, hubs etc but again I'm sketchy on the exact detail.

Cheers, thanks for your help guys. As the car was an N/A it's still 4 stud, so changing it all to GTR items while doing the 5 stud conversion could work well.

Does any one know how much work is needed to fit in a complete rear GTR diff?, not just the GTR diff center into a Gtst diff case.

Thanks, Josh.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
