    350z driveshafts

    Has anyone upgraded to these? Any issues with the length?

    I've managed to get hold of some 6 bolt GTR halfshafts for my S15 diff and looking to upgrade without having to switch out the bearings...

    Info all seems a bit old. Might just give it a go if I can find some for cheap...

    Yeah when I looked into it and a lot seems to come down to alignment
    I looked into making some conversion stub axles like villains sells in the US as the length could be accounted for but that’s only any use if you have a lathe

    Not sure why your changing them but if it’s because of clunky shafts just try axle spacers as it fixed mine

    Are they such an upgrade? The ones on my 370 don’t seem that different to the S13s

    Bear in mind the Right hand drive shaft is 60mm longer than the left

    skylines have those types of CV joints.
    your best place to research is over on zilvia or nissanroadracing forum.

    The GTR shafts need a different wheel bearing. I can't be bothered to swap them again...

    are the 350z hubs the same dimensions as the s14/skyline etc just with different splines?

    It's only the GTR that uses the larger splines/bearings AFAIK

    3oozx turbo runs the larger wheel bearings/ hubs with the big hole at the top for the drum brake pivot thing to bolt through.
