Shaun,

I have a DR 4 door tailshaft in the garage, can you tell me the length of your MR tailshaft so I have something to compare.

Cheers, D

Did the front cut come with a slip yoke in the back of the gearbox? If so, just have that mated to your original tailshaft and have it made the correct lenght to suit.

i'd be looking for a DR tail shaft as the box would be different to MR box...

i dunno, nissan seem to keep things quite common..... i had an L series( 280zx) gear box in my skyline line and when i went to the rb gear ( r32 gtst) box, the yoke was exactly the same...... lenghts may be different but you should be able to find some thin in a wreckin yard.

i had the problem i kept snapping the rear yokes on my tail shaft in my 66 skyline gt.... went down the wreckin yard armed with a tail shaft lenght and pitch for the bolt pattern and spline config for the gear box and end up comming out with a datsun stanza 1600 auto tail shaft that fitted perfectly.......

best bet is to go down to ya local yard that has lots of datsun/ nissans and ask if ya can have a crawl thru to sus out wots wot!!
